CHANGE OF RULEs.-On the 10Th of Feb
ruary Mr.. Garfield, from the Committee OF
Rules in the House of Representatives, report
ed the following resolution, which was adopted
ReSolred, That the following be adopted as rule O
the House. namely: The Committee of Elections fo
,he forty-nrst Congress shall consist of fifteen mem
oers anu each contested case may be assigned by thu
chairman to special committee OF three member,
thereof for their exclusive consideration and suci
special committee shall report their decision in tn,
case directly 10 the House.
Thirty-hve contested election cases have
been brought before the House Committee Of
Elections since this Congress (the Furty-first)
began. The course pursued by that Commit
tee in deciding cases on party grounds, and not
according to the evidence was only made pub.
lie through the agency of Democratic members
of the Committee submitting minority re-
ports The outrages committed IN ousting
Democratic members of Congress who had
been elected by large majorities, and giving
their seats to Radical contestants. could no
longer be concealed or covered up by the DOM
inant party, and latent sense of decency COM
PEELED them TO reconstruct the Committee of
Elections by increasing it to fifteen members,
and this to be divided into subcommittee of
three members each 1t is a slight improve.
ment ON the old committee, but it is open to the
same objections. Two-tbirds or three-fourths
OF the members will, Of course, be Radicals,
and the same influences which have heretofore
governed the action of the former committee
in deciding contested election cases will also
influence the course Of the new one The on
ly manner in which contested election cases
could be determined fairly aud honestly, with.
out bias or prejudice, is that pursued in the
English Parliament, as stated by Mr.. Cox,
where all such cases are referred to indepen-
dent and impartial judges, for their decision.
This course could not be pursued in the United
States without an amendment to the Constitu-
ton, by abrogating or amending Section OF
Article l, and while we are opposed to any
amendments of that instrument we think i'll
he Radicals insist on further mutilating it,
hat they could not propose better amend
nent at any time.
