The Troubles ON the st. L. X. C. &
ft Nathan RaIlHoad.


-sE LOUIS, March 1O.-AfEairs on the
st. Louis, Kansas City & Norther Rail.
road have been pretty quiet to-day. A
switch was turned and an engine partially
run off tho track OF Lexington Junction,
o.night. but no damage was done. The
Sheriff Of Ray county, with posse, was
on tho spot and arrested those engaged IN
the affair and took them TO the Richmond
jail. There are now nearly 1000 Metro
politan police from this city along the line
Of tho road, who, with local authorities
arc amply sufficient 70 guard the trains
and property, and no further trouble is ap.
pretended. Tho passenger trains started
from all termini ofthe road, and have not
been molested. There are still number
OF strikers congregated at st. Charles, but
they are thoroughly oVerawed and
kept quiet by the police. The Adiutant
General arrived IN this city tonight,
and reports matters quiet along the main
line. When at Moberly yesterday, he
gave orders for the organization Of mill.
Tia company, the names OF the men com.
posing 1t TO be submitted to the railroad
company, and If found satisfactory they
will be armed. Grand Chief Engineer vii.
son had au interview with q committee Of
strikers today, but no result transpired.
He still maintains, however, that the
strike was not justifable, and will not be
sanctioned by the Brotherhood Of the
Engineers. General Superintendent Van
Horn already has about forty new en-
gineers, and is hourly receiving acces'
sions. He avows his determination 10
never again employ q Brotherhood en-
gineer. No further interruption to
travel on this road Is expected. The
train out from hero tonight was the
largest one for some time. Reports have
gained circulation that the strike has ex-
tended to the other roads in the State,
but they con be traced TO no reliable
source. rsr =, S.

GteQttettiqent1r:
A Bill to Impart Legal Instruction to
the House Of Representatives


The absurdcst thing yet conceived at
Charleston Is the bill introduced in the
Senate, as reported by correspondent, to
direct the President Of the Senate to certt'
" to the House of Representatives as cleo
ted the persons who claim to have been
elected to that body from this State last
October. ltis for the Legislature TO say,
of course, in a proper way, at a proper
time, who shall certify the result Of Con-
grcss elections; and ifthe Legislature had
provided before the election was held, or
before the time under the then existing law
for certifying THAT 1t should be certified
BY the President Of the Senate instead OF
the Governor, there could have been no
special objection, il It had also previously
been provided that the returns should be
made to the President Of tho Senate In
stead OF tho Governor. But the fact Is
the election in October has been certified
TO tho House Of Representatives by the
Governor in the most precise, even tech
nical, conformity to,the law; and 1t Is
neither proper nor lswlul-it Is absurd
and e1 post Gacto-to attempt to make
a new law for the case now alter
the old law has had Its due operation. A
state ol facts for which tho Governor was
not responsible had arisen. Two elections
had been held and 1t was matter OF
controversy, and Of doubt with the best
legal minds, which election, or whether
either, was legal. twas a question the
Governor could not have settled. 1t
could be determined only by the House
Of Representatives, to whom tho Cover.
nor could only certify the facts. He did
this with the utmost exactness. He GER
ulied us to the October election that
Wilson, Martin and Hereford wero elect
cd, il the election itself were legal-and
SD ~ to tho August election-referring
the question of legality to the sole tribu.
ual empowered to decide 1t. II the
Legislature had any right to make
new law fH the discharge Of
duty long since discharged in the
manner prescribed by the then existing
l4w, the proposition still only amounts to
command that tho President ofthe Sen
ate shall decide this question ofthe legal
lty Of the Congressional elections for the
House ofRepresentatives, and send GER
tillcaLo that will present only "a part ol
the facts. or course, the facts having
been duly certified by the proper AUTHORITY,
at tho proper time and in duo form, the
House would pay no attention to any
such absurd procedure as now proposed.
Tho opinion Of such body as tho West
Virginia Legislature on a question of law
is probably not valued as highly at
Washington as tho author of this re-
markable bill may suppose. .
