Nlsh 10 make is, that We had clear
working majority and could have
forever settled this annoying qpes-
liun. Bat ON Tuesday two OF tho
cxasperatod republicans from some
tauSo moved II reconsideration, aud
that ak aud n bali cents per copy
bo paid Tor said paper. We tried
our best TO defeat this, nad when
everything that could be done, The
House being nnde. n call, the Speak.

pended; the doors were thrown
open, and some twenty-five or thiri
" mru,bcrs walked ont. In few
inOmcnts the doors were about TO
DO closed, and some ten members
returned to their seats. This dis
,arbanco then became the subject Of
discussion and n resolution was pass
cd to appoint u committee TO invest
i.catc tho conduct OF those who with.
drew from The House. In the mean
timo the House passed the resolu
ton to pay six and u half cents por
coy for the Union. You can read

make this amount. This expendi-
turc could have been saved if some
gentlemen had not got hungry or
dpy,.or both, on last Saturday. y
is not often the little squad of Con-
tervaLivcs in tho House get; any
show, and Whenever We do have an
opportunity we shodld pursistcntly
contend, and ardently labor 10
tl,wart the extremists.
We have now beon in session six
weeks and have passed one impor.
tant bill--to pay mileage and per
diem of.the members. IF you will
reflect you can readily see the charge
that the Conservatives are retar0ing
business is wholly unfounded, rs tho
republicans have n two-thirds ma
iority and are therefore responsible
Tor this hardness. Every move BY
Conservative is looked upon With
suspicion. Yours truly,
j. w. LANE.
