bill as follows:
Mr.. SPEAKER-It is true | have voted for
the passage of this bill. but | have learned
since. and am now satisfied that it was an
awful error; but cannot, under our rules.
change my vote; but wish il known that
am one of the many who believe il TO be IA
wholly unnecessary measure. The favo-
rites Of the bill failed to give any reasons
why it should pass, and under the usual par
ty policy and friendly feelings, the bill with
my vote in its aid, passed, but do earnestly
hope that it will never pass the Senate. l
am Republican. aud intend to live and die
one, but am willing to confess that this bill
was unnecessary, and being so, it passed ;hiS
House, under an astonishing and high
handed force of unreasonableness. 1t is one
of the many party measures which con-
tanned so many tendencies to bring about
conflicts and troubles, and am sorry that
voted for it.

all alike trustworthy, and 1t is well to pur-
chase of manufacture that has been thor

kept the lead for more than a third of CEN

the fires through which they have preserved
their valuable contents. more than one thou

WASHINGTON, February 81. Various

speeches on the Arkansas question, which
will be considered during the present

are seyerally gathering their strength
THE OHIO ELECTIONS
WASHINGTON, February 22.-The
Ohio Republicans, in Washington; rec
ognizing that the coming elections in
Ohio will be the opening Of the Presi
dental campaign of 1876, met at the
residence of Secretary Delano, and af-
ter the interchange of views, determined
upon an early opening and a vigorous
and aggressive campaign in Ohio.
Committees were appointed to cooperate
with the State Executive Committee at
Columbus to prepare for the canvass.
EADs' JETTY BILL.

can not be considered as an independent
measure, it will be proposed as an amend

COMPROMISE OF THE LOUISIANA CUES
TION.
WASHINGTON, d. c., February 90
The prominent Louisianians here had a
caucus to-day with leading Republicans
and the Congressional delegation from
that State, resulting in an agreement of
compromise which both factions of the
Conservative party accepted, and which
was in writing, Endorsed by the Congress
sionaI delegation. By this agreement,
the election of 1872 is ignored on the
ground that it was in no way connected
with the election of 1874. Kellogg is,
however, to be recognized as de facto Gov
ernor, as long as he is sustained as such
by the President. The FIVE Conserva-
tive members of the Legislature who were
unseated by the military on the 4th of
January are to be seated, and a new or
ganization of the Legislature shall be had.
This adjustment will, it is thought, prove
satisfactory to all parties concerned.
The Conservatives will not consent to rec
ognize the Hahn organization of the Leg
islature as legal, although they are not
disposed to insist that the Wilt organiza-
ton was legal.
