HoUsE-Debate on granting leave to
the Commissioner on Election to send for
persons and papers in Kansas, was con-
tinued.
MIR. Stephens remarked that Gov. Reed
-er himself commissioned the members OF
the Legislature assembling. which passed
the law under which Mr.. Reederno now cali
ed on the House to investigate. Conse-
auently all further proceedings were stop
ned. officiating accounts of Gov. Reeder
who was thus, out of his own mouth, con-
demned.
Mr.. Campbell of Ohio, said that it was
| well settled principle of law that any
statute which may be violated by fraud,
such violation forms a subject for thorough
| investigation. On this point, the House
| should be satisfied, and something more
was desired on which to form the judgment
| than mere newspaper reports and tele-
graphic dispatches.
Mr.. Hickman thought the newspaper
reports of the difficulties in Kansas had
been exaggerated or magnified, either on
one or the other sides of the question, ae.
cording to the sentiments ofthe authors
| It is consequently important that the In.
yestigation should be aided by the mean:
proposed. Mr.Reeder had done all the
act of Congress required OF him in the
ipremises.
! The question was taken on Mr.. Ste
phens' motion, that the request ofthe Com
mittee on Elections be referred back to tn,
committee, with Instructions to report tn.
grounds Oh which they ask for power II
send for persons ond papers.
The motion was negotived by the cas-
iting vote ofthe Speaker.

over 100 years of age. This shows thai
that about one person in 5000 will be like

sus of 1851 shows only 102 persons over
00years old, though their population was
larger, by more than one third, than the
