troduced in the State Senate o.day to recon-
slider the vote on the adoption of the 18th
amendment, which was sustained by vote of
10 yeas to 15 nays, and its adoption or rejection
was made the special order for Tuesday next.
No action was taken on reconsideration in

ment will pass both Houses next week by the
woes of the conservative Republicans and

tearing down the Stute Government, but be-
lieve Congress has the power the power under
the 18th amendment to unseat all holding
office in violation of the Constitution, voted for
the 10Th amendment with the determination to
uphold Grant and Congress. Twenty five Re-
publicans voted for it and four against it;
forty-two Democrats voted for it and forty-sx
against it; twenty-four Republicans absented
themselves and did not vote, but seventeen of
the twenty-four absentees voted for its recon-
sideration. Yesterday, on a subsequent mo-
ton to suspend the rules and take up the 10Th
amendment. the House refused-yeas &c. NAYS
48. One hundred and eleven votes were cast
out of 175 members in the body.
In the Senate discussion to-day the consery-
alive members declared that the extreme ends
of both parties were bent on the same end, to
rule or ruin, and appealed to the conservatives
of both parties to vote for its adoption.
The General Assembly. in joint session TO-
day, elected Saml Wiel Foreign Commissioner
and G. N Lester Homo Commissioner OF the
