What Constitutes Ruling BY
Congress

The case of the resignation Of Mr.. White
more member of the House of Representa-
tves at Washington, has created no little
excitement, and the ruling OF the speaker is
important not only as regards mem bers OF
Congress and State legislature, but is equal
applicable to corporation aud other public
bodies. 1t will be remem bered that, 10!
certain reasons, MIR Whittemore rendered
his resignation as member of the House,
and subseq uently took his seat a.tem pied to
address the House, which course was object
ed to by MIR. Speaker Blsne) who ruled that
the resignation could not be withdrawn. A
discussion sprung up on the floor as to
" aitsenore's right to go on with his speech
FONTS OF order, suggestions and parliamen.
tary inquiries were made by several mem bers
The point made By Messrs Banks and
Dawes was that the resignation of snv mem
Der is not complete till it has been acquiesced
IL by the body of which he forms a part.
aud they held that the opposite doctrines
would allow minority at any time to break
up any legislative assemblage by rendering
their resignation.
After lengthy discussion the speaker
finally ruled that The resignation was com.
plete and he therefore could not recognize
Dir. " hittenores right 10 speak, though
consent to do SO might be given by the
House if no one objected Mr. Farnsworth
appealed from this decision pro Formd in
order to get at the sense of the House and
the speaker WAS sustained by decided vote
As. before stated, this is decision that
should be well noted by corporations and
public bodies.

IMPROVED WRouepr ruov pn,n.

IMPROVED WROUGHT Iron BRIpGEs.-
scott county, Iowa, has of late been build
Ing large number of bridges over creeks
ana rivers along the highways leading GU,
OF Davenport, and have, in consequence
added immensely to their advantages oil
roadway travel and transportation Of late
they have introduced Improved Wrought
Iron Highway Bridges. made by the Laird
Manufacturing Company, of Canton Ohio
several of these have already been erected
and give unquali fed satisfaction to the
supervis ors, as we'll as the farmers who
travel over them. The Laird wrought iron
bridge is specially adapted to the use OF
counties, cities and corporations. The Laird
Manufacturing Company, with John
Laird, one of the veteran foundry men OF
the United States as President, has had a
practical experience ofsix years In building
bridges, which war ants them in CLAIMING
tor their bridge many advantages not poss,
essed BY others, the most important OF
which ID the cons truction of the arch in
which the material is SO arranged that in.
crease strength is gained and the lateral
motion apparent in other bridges entirelv
ooviated. The arch is trussed in regular
sections and firmly brsced to iron foo,
beams or overhead, when the height will
admit 1t, and each span is braced latera Iiy
under the roadw way. All bridges built BY
them, they claim, will sustain load Of 100
IDS per square foot equally distributed.
competent eng ineers estimated that
good iron bridge properly cared for, will
last I0o years, while a wooden structure be.
comes unsafe IN from six to eight years.
This fact should be taken into considera
ton by all county economists, and the cree
ton OF good iron bridges be urged upon
every Board of Supervisors throughout the
State. We know OF no iron bridge that has
the reputation for durabih 3, symmetry and
strength that the made by the Laird
Manufacturing Com pany has attained. The
Laird Manufacturing Compsay is an off
shoot of the old house OF John Laird 4 Co
John Laird is the President of the new
Company, aud has been connected with iron
foundry and machine works for 81 years.
Mr.. u. +. Laird. the gentlemanly Secretary
OF the Company, Is thorough going busi
ness man, and polite and atfable withal, as
we found when we visited their mammoth
establishment during our last trip East. He
understands the busi ness Of the compauy in
all Its details
Although the wrought iron bridges are a
specially of the company, they manufacture
street lsmpposts, church and school bells,
iron ratings, building fronts, and every
thing made OF iron. They have made their
bridges so well known that they are being
adopted throughout the whole West and
North west, and they are principally engaged
IN filling orders for these. Read their ad-
versIsemeni IN another column. Raft, Cock

TRlCHINAE-ITS CURE.

Electricity, it has been asserted, will kill
the parasite in pork. 1t has been estimated
that cubic inch of pork infested by these
parasites contains 100000. No sure cure
for them has yet been discovered. Electricity
it is contended, will prove their destruction,
as shock which a man can easily bear viii

be found infallibe as a cure fer the disease.
it will be great relief to the members of
the medical fraternity, who, we believe. have

Many years ago, Brigham Young was pc
titIoned BY large mum Der of polygsm on:
husbands, who suffered from the plaques q
mothers-in law, to beseech the God of III,
Mormous, tina. he might, in his wisdom
make new revelation, in substance. tina
unmarried mothers-in-law, whatever be
their age, should be assigned to wedlock
simultaneously with their daughters, 10
suitable but different husbands This reve-
lstlon, however, has not vet come, and thus
poiygamy seems to be tenn pered by naulti-
socer1Sm, plague of which the most fervid
imagination can scarcely form e correct
idea. Every guilt, saws Goethe, is re-
Venged on earth, and it seems to me, with
my experience in regard TO this martvrdom,
that 80 long as the Mormons are Obliged to
Keep all the mothers of their wives in the
common marital residence, Congress need
not establish other punishment, for the
crime OF poiygamy. An additional mother
in law to every three subsequent wives, is q
sufficient expiation for whatever sin Nor
N on can possibly commit against the laws
OF mOnogamy.
