Personal Responsibility and Physical

Sheridan of Louisiana rising to person.
al explanation, said he had some agency in
seating his colleague, Smith, from the 4th
district of Louisiana, and if any wrong had
been done in the matter he considered him
self personally responsible. Some news
papers had charged that the certificate to
the house had been executed prior to the
receipt and canvass of the returns in New
Orleans. He was informed ON reliable
authority that the returns had arrived and
been properly canvassed on the 2Sth and
10Th Of November prior to the execution of
the certificate. 1t was not a matter of
physical impossibility, as had been said, for
a man could go in three days from any part
of the district to New Orleans. He assur-
ed the House that the statements to the
contrary were untrue. 1t was also mis-
take to say that that was Democratic dis
trfct. No Democrat had been or ever
could be elected from it.
The House adjourned until Monday.

to appear court. Mr. Britton agreed to have Mr..
Sprague baied his house, ii such proceeding would
be lawful

bail 10 be taken

amount the DisrictAttorney's office will be. That
the amount which was fixed in the case OF Rodman
when AN application made before Judge Nelson TO
admit him to bail when charged with similar ohensc
to that OF Mr.. eprague.
Judge Moore after consulting for some time with the

recognzance at his own house, and bail was fixed at
