ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

At IL o'clock last night the session of the House of Rep
was brought sudden and unexpected close

minority had finally created such indignation among the
reasonable men of their own side and among the majority
Of the House. that Mr. Hunt of louisiana Of the oppo

SHALL TIE MAJORITY RULE

The principle that the majority shall govern is the en-
during rock upon which whole republican system
II presided at the declaration Of Independence II is the
very soul Of the constitution II pcryades all laws
whether federal State municipal II is the accepted
arbitc before which all popular controversies yield

and ofgranny Everywhere it Is adopted and followed
The church seeks shelter from the ppemic Of theological
disputaton in the principle Of the majority II Is often
cheaper and peaceful process for settling the troubles
Of communities and ofndivduas than the law itself The
majority principle is truly the peoples safeguard and the
most ambitious aspirations are subsidiary 10 Il

principle should remember that they playing bold
