certain members that have been expelled
That they have violated their oath no one
questions, but then as they are repentant,
| am in favor OF allowing them to return:
| Now l do not wish to underrate any OF
these members, yet it is known to most all
| of the members that they have in more
.han one way violated the rules of this
House. l think that it is our duty to act in
| reference to their cases.
Mr.. Stamps-I spoke about this question
Yesterday and now, as said yesterday, it
is matter that requires careful attention.
| a matter that must not be acted upon too
| hastily. There is not member on this
| floor who doubts for an instant that they
are members of this House and that they
are entitled to seats on this floor. yet they
have violated the rules of this House, but.
as they seem to be anxious to come back, l
am in favor of their being allowed to
| come in.
Mr.. Carr-If the gentleman will allow
| me | will explain my resolution. The CON-
mittee's action is not final: it only brings
the matter before the House.
Mr. Worrall-I would like all the mem
bers to understand this resolution. You all
know the course have taken in this affair,
and | am still in favor of admitting the
members who are entitled to seats on this
floor. Lam in favor of admitting them all
vet if it suits the members, am willing
that we should take up their cases one by
one That, for my part, do not object to-
1t has been said on this floor that all these
members have been guilty OF the same
crime, and that to reject one we must reject
all. do not believe that. We all know
that in every party there are leaders, and
dupes as followers and do not think the
followers should be held responsible for the
action of the leaders.

CINCINNATI, February 5.-The explo.
sion of the mills OF the Miami Powder
Company near Xenia this morning was
one OF the most terrible in the history OF
powder making in the west. The shock
was so great that in the adjacent towns
and cities much excitement ensued. In
Troy and Tippecanoe the houses were
shaken as by an earthquake. The first
explosion occurred in wheel mill, this
communicated with the press mill where
the powder in process oimanutacLuring is
contained in canvas bags. The double
dry house 80 feet square, containing a vast
quantity G dry powder, came in next
for destruction: from this the flames start.

sion.
A Gazette special says that two large
double dry houses, three glaze mills, one
canning mil, two press and one packing
houses were annihilRted, while the re.
mainder of the companys works were
more OF less injured. The names OF those
killed instantly are Arthur Nero, David
Conlcy (colored) VIM. Robbins and John
Ballard. Henry Duncan (colored) was
wounded in tie head and will probably
die. Samuel Miner was blown across the
mill acc aud his hearing partially de.
strOyed. The others were badly stunned
and barely escaped with their lives. All
of the killed were men OF families, From
20 to 2J tons OF powder were in the de-
stroyed buildings. The company estimate
their loss at $25, 900.
A special TO the Chronicle says the
names OF the killed iu the explosion Of the
powder mill were Ballard and Robinson,
white, aud C0nley, colored. Conley was
blown into fragments. Nothing could be
found Of him but portion oi his head
and trunk. The shock WAS distinctly
felt at Dayton, Urbana and &enia. The
amount OF loss has not been aacertained.
Hundreds of citizens are hurrying 10 the
scene OF the disaster and rendering all
possible assistance. Duncan, q colOrcd
inan, was so terribly lacerated that death
is momentarily expected. Search Is being
made among the ruins for more workmen,
some Of whom are missing. The bodies
of the dead are shockingly mutilated and
burned. The mills are situated some
distance apart, but the conclusion was SO
great as TO produce On explosion in all
the rest. A brick house, standing more
than q mile distant, had the windows
completely blown out and was otherwise
damaged Great excitement prevails.
