1t thus appears that of the Democratic
votes in favor of the resolution, there were
SO from free, and so from slave States
The 7 Wing votes in favor were all from
slave States. OF the vote in the negative,
the % Democrats are all from free States;
and of the Wings SO were from free, and
81 from slave States. The number Of
Democrats voting was l40; consisting OF
81 from free, and SO from slave States
Those 81 were divided into SO for, and %
against The number of Wings voting
was rs; consisting of SO from free, and
26 from slave States. Those &c were d.
vided into for, and Is against. The SO
Democrats from slave, and the So Wings
from free States, all of course voted, the
former for, and the latter against.
Such are the results of our analytical ex-
animation of the vote which we have
made, to spare our readers the trouble they
would otherwise probably take to make it
themselves.

FEBRUARY 18th, 1915.

In the House of Representatives, to-day
the concurrent resolutions came up for the
third reading, resolving to receive Mis-
souri's share of the proceeds of the sales Of
the public lands, and they were adopted
Ayes 67, Noes II. Thus you see the con-
sistcncy of democratic principles now tie
Presidential election is over.
A set Of constitutional amendments were
proposed some time since, in the House,
limiting the tenure of the offices of the
several Judges to the same time proposed
by those defeated since the commencement
Of this session, but proposing that the
judges be elected by the people. Mr.. VIII
Hams offered additional resolutions by way
of amendment, proposing that hencefor-
ward the Secretary of State. Attorney
General, Auditor Of Public Accounts and
State Treasurer, shall be elected by the
people Of the State. This was quite unex-
pectcd from wing, and after some discus
sion, pro and con, Mr.. Carson moved to
refer the bill, with the amendments to the
constitution, which upon call for the yeas
and noes carried-Yeas II. noes ~. This
was done not by party voting, but by the
sincere friends of the proposed convention
of all parties.
A memorial to Congress, praying the
appropriation of sum of money to i'm
prove the navigation of White River, hav.
ing passed both Houses Of the General
Assembly, some days back, was this day
communicated to the House, by the Gov
ernor, with his reto.
To appropriate money now, for purposes
Of internal improvement, is not democratic
policy, except ii be, suppose, upon great
national thoroughfarc; or unless, as Mr.
Polk would say, it happens to run a road
or the like, just through tie neighborhOod Of
a democrats house.
Mr.. james, it seems, was the author OF
the memorial; after the reading of the
veto, motion being made to print one
thousand copies for the use of the State
Mr. James opposed it vehemenlly; said
that no candidate could get any votes in
his part of the State, who opposed the
improvement of the navigation of White
River; that in the late canvass he had been
under the necessity of defending Governor
Edwards on that subject, and at first il
was very difficult matter, and that he, Mr..

James, had. even had Mr.. Speaker, (pont-
ing to the Chair thrown up to him upon
that subject.
Mr.. Stringfelow spoke in favor of
printing; said he saw gentleman (Mr. LIE.
beaume and others Sneering at the doc
trines of that veto; il would compare very
well with any other political paper, and he
hoped it might be printed for the informa.
ton of the country. The motion to print
failed. The reconsideration Of the me-
mortal then coming up for the action Of
the house, there was quite deal of warmth
in the discussion.
See the power Of executive patronage!
Mr.. Stringfellow, Mr.. Bay and Mr.. Rich
mond all veing with each other, who
should say most pretty things of his Excel
Iencyll
Mr. Stringfellow insisted that il was no,
the doctrine of the "Locofoco party" as
he called it, to make appropriations for
internal improvements out Of the public
treasury; that no democrat would vote for
such measure.
Mr.. James replied at some length, show
ing memorials passed at the last session,
and before, for all sorts of improvements,
from the Mississippi down TO the Current
and the Des Moline rivers, and the draining
of the big swamp; said that Gov. Reynolds
had approved all these memorials; showed
the votes from the House Journal of lS43,
of two of Congressman, Price and Sims,
and Of a host of others, many now in the
House. And here Democracy fell assunder;
the battle became general and brisk firing
was kept up till after candle lighting. 1t
reminds one of the battle between Fitz-
James and Rhoderick Dhu, Mr.. James now
occupying the position of the former, when
he cried out, placing himself against the
rock:
Come one, come all, this rock shall fly,
| From its firm base as soon as |"
The scene is truly rich, and how it will
end no one knows.
The Senate, on yesterday, sat in Execu.
tive session, and one of the results was
that Senator Monroe from Morgan, was
confirmed as Auditor of Public Accounts
being the first intimation to the city gossip
that he was to be preferred by the Gov.
ernor to Mr.. Shields, of electoral memory
and so we 60, new ,rrinkle every day.

PosrAeE.-The post office bill is fairly under
discussion in the Senate; and in the House, Mr..
Hardin has reported back his bill, and time may
be afforded to act upon it. Mr.. Merrick made a
long speech in favor OF his bill. In the course
of it he estimated the sum necessary for carrying
on the department at S4,5Oo,000 In 1887, be.
fore private expresses and other disturbing causes
existed, there were more than 80, 000, 900 letters
Of chargeable character passed through the
mails; fair increase would give US now az 000..
900 leters-whereas we have but about "a, 0O0.,
600. The bill proposes but two rates Of postage,
and 10 cents.

against the original resolution, declaring Mr.

SO in the end old uglys condition was not
much more handsome than his person. Testing
aside, the country has learned much by this
trial. 1t is now most clear that Mr.. Miller and
his personal friends expected him to get the seat
by foul party tactics alone, and his perseverance
for nearly three months Of the session. before
he would BE convinced, is evidence of it; and
If the hull had not been taken by the horns by
Mr.. O'Brien-if he had not employed counsel
who held up 10 the public gaze the party ma
chinery by which the trial was surrounded, Mr..
Miller would have obtained his seat. 1t is TO be
hoped that although the desire Of success for
Mr.. Miller, on the part some Senators, may have

their hearts will follow.
Towards the conclusion OF the trial, when
votes became dear, vote was claimed for Mr..
OBrien which was rejected by the judges OF

A ndturalized citizen offered to vote for Mr..
O'Brien-was sworn by the judges, as provided
by the statute, as TO his qualifications as voter.
He answered that he had taken the oath, &c, but
had not with him a copy Of the record Of bis
citizenship; his name was written on the poll
book, and the person for whom he intended to
VOTE (Mr. O'Brien) but his vote not counted.
Several OF the democratic Senators voted that the

The House Of Representatives on yesterday
resolved itself into committee OF the whole, and
took up the bill to secure 10 married women the
use Of their own property, and the same has
been under consideration ever since, including
an evening session this evening. This morning,
however, before the House went into committee,
some OF the farmers and others, having come to
the conclusion "a pretty just one) that the lawyers
in the House were getting little too big to'
their breecheS in the way Of long speeches upon
motion OF Mr. James, adopted resolution re-
stricting speeches, both in committee and in the
