resolutions, offered by Andrew Wallace,

whereas a majority Of the said General Con-
terence did by their vote refuse to exscind OF
expunge it; and whereas the ground taken

which had implied him to diass ia de cons,iisee
room on some points hem his political associates,
They had voted that the Kaneevills ballots should
not b. received. becauss Kanssville was situated
six miles north Of the southern Boundary Of Mum
roe county. But he did not conceive that fact to
afford sufficient ground for the rejection of those
votes. There was wilderness Of one hundred and
6fty miles broad between Munroe county and
Kanesvhle, and the authorities Of that county,
being themselves deceived, had led the people Of
Kanesville into the mistake Of estimating their
position to be on meridian six miles south OF
its true position. They had voted in good flith.
or this fact there could be no questions for Wings
and Democrats, Mormons and anti Mormons, the
eetimony Of all examined as to this point, proved
hat they believed, when voting on this occasion,
that they were west Of Monroe; not Of Neathaska
county.
Lake reasons induced him to vote in the COM
nittee room in favor Of counting the vote Of
Boone county thrown in connection with the
Polk county organization. But, with him, the
decisive point was the Boone township question.
It was clearly proved to the committee, that AZ
citizens Of that township had gone to Dallas
county, Is miles distant, to vote for Mr. Miller,
knowing that Dallas was not the county in which
they were entitled to vote.
Under these circumstances, he thought the law
should be strictly applied to them; their intention
being fraudulent, as to throw out their votes,
would elect the sitting member by Is majority,
he (Mr. Al should vote to declare that gentle
man entitled to the seat.
Mr.. DISNEY next having obtained the floor,
The SPEAKER laid before the House an invi-
tation from the Washington Monument society,
requesting the House to participate in the soc-
ety's celebration Of the 4th Of July;
And then the House adjourned.

There's not n heath, however rude,
But hath some little flower
To brighten up its solitude,
And scent the evening hour.
There's not a heart, however cast
BY grief and sorrow down,
But hath some mem'ry Of the past,

And bears US far FER some unfathomed sea.

An Acr or DEVOTED HERoIsm.--T The follow
ing incident ID recorded of pilot Of the steamer
Griffith, who fell victim TO his own heroism;ses
Mr.. Holly, Of Missouri, informed US that when
the flames were making rapidly toward the pilot
house Of the Griffith, he heard some one, the
mate, he thinks, inquired Of the man at the wheel
if he would -sstand TO his post. The man gave
a hearty response Of II will" This directed his
attention to the wheelman; and he watched his
bearing; when the boat stopped, he stood there
enveloped in flames. Mr.. Holly supposed he
must have been burned up but, it appears, after
the boat ceased to move, he passed through the
flames and overheard. His body was found
badly burned. 1t was brought to this city, and
buried in Oakland cemetery. This noblest Of
unfairly throw away his own life in the hope Of
saving others from death, was Richard Mann,
long a resident Of our city and vicinity. No
tomb deserves a nobler monument than his.
