SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Intelligencer copies the following
paragraph which is going around the
press of the country just now, which
originally appeared in that paper on the
9th of February, 1920:
Missouri BILL.-The House then wen

Speaker Clay rose and addressed the Com.

expediency of the proposed restriction
The editors, in explanation, say tina,
this speech was against the restriction Of
slavery in Missouri-not against the line
of SO degrees so minutes.
The Union contains another article
upon the Importance of putting stop to
such transactions as the Gardiner frauds,
saying

observe the persistent efforts that have been
made to create the impression that appliance.

their victims with more success. 1t strikes u.
that the most efectual answer to such assaults
upon the integrity Of Congress will be giver
by such prompt and energetic movements 70,
the detection and punishment Of fraud anc
crime as that instituted by the adoption of Mr.
Perkins's resolution. For the mere recovery
OF the money unlawfully distracted from the
treasury by the accomplices of Dr. Gardiner

Office by the inventor Mr.. Samuel Huffman OF
illinois, formerly of Virginia, for speedily
taking yeas and nays in legislative bodies
We have frequently read Of plans to the same
end, and have also now and then seen model,
for the same purpose. This, however, is the
first promising to fulfil its object. 1t consists
Of two series Of compound levers, with prickers
at their ends, to be worked by two wires run
ming to the desk Of each member; ono working
levers which prick opposite the members name
on the yea list and the other working those
which make the mark opposite to his name on
q printed nay list. The member works either
wire by slightly pulling at the handle. The ma.
chine is slse fitted with little balls, 50 placed
and directed, that wire cannot be pulled
without setting one in motion, to roll through
q trough into glass tube. These balls are
cast so regularly, that as they fall into the
tabe they exactly fill spaces in it, marked and
numbered to correspond with the number Of
members voting yea or nay. With this machine
in operation, if it will work en- sztsnso, as in the
model, the yeas and nays may be taken with
unerring accuracy in the House, and the result
announced in single minute The clerk hal
but p glance at the glass tubes, where he viii
instantly see, to ball, how many are in thu
yea tube, and how many in that for tho nays
We hear that the cost Of putting up such AZ
arrangement for the House, win not be NOR
than $1,000. It takes quite an average o
twenty-five minutes to cali, record, read of
and announce the yeas and nays in the Hous
hall on every occasion upon which they ar
ordered. The time requi-ed for reading Of
the lists, which may be i've minutes, woul'

ans CIuRcHwELL and CuLLuM, in the House of

this great country seems fast spproximating the
character of a theatre for the exhibition of dis.
graceful ridiculous farces. Col. ORp, we see,
proposes soon to submit new rule to the
House for the prevention in future of such
scenes. We hope, for the honor of the country,
he will attain the end sought. Such actors
should certainly be sent to perform oil another
stagsand for less pay, than the Congress of the
United States at eight dollars per diem.
