House OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IS Resolution from
the Committee on Elections declaring Mr..
Smith not entitled TO a seat from the second
Kentucky district, and directing that the
Governor of Kentucky be notified Of the
vacancy. Adopted.
The Speaker presented Z correspondence
between Generals Grant and Hancock. Re
ferred to the Committee on Reconstruction.
Mr.. Paine, rising to privilege question,
sent TO the Clerks desk and had read a
paragraph from Washington Geographic
correspondence in yesterdays New York
Tribune, relative 10 incidents which Oc
CURED in the room of the Committee on
Reconstruction on the impeachment prop
osition. He then said OF course | have
no knowledge as TO the source of informa-
ton of the writer, but it happens that every
single statement purporting 10 be a state
ment of the facts relating 10 me and that
committee, is without the slightest shadow
of foundation.
The House went into a Committee on
the Whole on the State Union and on the
consular and diplomatic appropriation bill.
1t appropriates 81, 26S,934.
After some debate, Mr.. Washburne said
when the bill was prepared, the committee
had no information as to the appointment
Of Minister to Greece, and therefore no
item Of the mission had been inserted, but
the gentleman from Massachusetts, (Mr.
Butler) had been instructed by the COM
mittee to move an amendment to that effect.
Mr.. Butler moved to insert the word
Greece.
Without disposing of the question, the
committee rose and the House adjourned.

DEATH OF HUGH P. SEXTON, OF ST
LoUIs.-This gentleman was well
known to many citizens of oar city
He was born and raised here, and when
about 81 years of age he went to St
Louis where he resided till his death
He was esteemed by all who knew him.
There is something so peculiarly sin
gular about his death that we give q
brief detail of it. He had always been
hale, healthy man. Was quite corpu-
lent. About nine months ago he began
to get fleshy very fast, and applied to
the best medical aid in the city for
something to lessen his flesh. But to
no purpose. He has gained daily du-
ring the last two months from one
to two pounds. He had become 80
fleshy that he was very uncomfort-
able. On Friday evening last his
wife left him in the room
with one of his daughters, while she
went to prepare him some tea. Scarce
ly had she reached tho kitchen whom
she heard her daughter give a scream,
and on running into tho room he was
breathing his last. A day or so before
he died he was weighed, and his weight
was 425 ponds.

INTERVENING OF RIGHTs.-Many wag-
oners complain about the difficulty Of
getting their vehicles out Of the street
railway track. We suppose it is so.
But the Railway Company have char
ter for the right of construction and
the using of the road. Yet in many
cases, wagoners and drivers of vehicles
trespass upon tho rights fthe Company.
On yesterday as we were riding in the
cars, the driver of one horse
wagon, to pass another vehicle, drove on
the track in front of the car and COM
PEELED the car to check up till he could
get out of the way. Had some accident
happened 80 his wagon he would have
cursed the Railway Company, when he
was the one that was to blame-even
infringing on tho rights of the Com
pany. There are always two sides to
Question.
