The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1875-02-11
From House Proceedings, Feb. 81

Mr.. Dawes offered resolution recitine
that VIM. S. King, of Minnesota, tempor-
arily residing in Washington, had fed to
the Dominion of Canada in order to evade
the service of a summons, duly issued by
the Speaker of the House, commanding
him to appear as witness before the
committee Of ways and means in the Pa
cific Mail investigations; that he was
served with such summons the I'd of Feb
ruary, 1875, in Compton, Canada, and
that he has neglected to appear before
such committee pursuant to such sum-
mons. and directing the Speaker to issue
. warrant commanding the Sergeant-at-
Arms tc take King in custody wherever
found and bring him before the House to
answer for contempt Of its authority.
Several members called attention to the
broad character Of the proposed warrant,
and Mr.. Dawes said it of course only
means to apply to the United States. He
modified the resolution accordingly.
Mr.. Butler Of Massachusetts,, asked
how . man could be pronounced in con-
tempt Of the House when not duly sum-
moned, and ho could not be so summon.
ed outside the jurisdiction of the United
States.
Mr.. Randall reminded Mr.. Butter that
in the Andrew, johnson impeachment
case witnesses had been subpened in
Canada.
Mr.. Butler said they had not been
subpGned, but had been requested to at.
tend.
Mr.. Dawes said the Committee Of
Ways and Means had expressed no opin.
ion on the question, but simply brought
the matter to the attention Of the House.
Mr.. Kasson explained that a subpoena
had been sent over to Malone. N. Y,
where Mr.. King was temporarily residing,
but on hearing the facts he escaped to
Canada. The question was, therefore,
whether such an attempt, successfully
made, to evade the service Of Speaker S
summons, was not contempt Of the House.
He said that proof was positive that Mr..
King had run away to evadc the process
Of the House.
After some further discussion Mr.
DIVES withdrew the resolution.

THE INSANE ASYLUM.
Mr.. White moved a resolution for appoint
ment Of . committee Of three physicians to
visit the Insane Asylum and report the num-
Der Of idiotic and iDcurable patients who
should 0e discharged from the asylum. He
said he had information that there were at
least eighty patients who were hopelcsslv idi-
otic, who should be supported by their coun
ties, and whose support now cost the State
Mr.. Child agreed with Mr. White a.
TO there being many patients in the asylum
who should not be supported by the State,
but he thought Dr.. Bartlett, the superinten-
dent ot the hospital, would furnish the infor-
mation desired more promptly and saiise1cep-
~ than : aoommitiee of physicians not familiaE
with the condition Of the patients.
The resolution was amended n acecrdance

alluded TO were dangerous, and, IL released,

ahsence Of any other asylum, better suited to
their care, be thought the proper place foz
them was in the insane asylum.
The resolution, amended to have the report
made by Dn. Bartlett and Powers, WA
adopted
Donnelly was adopted, which calls for infor-
nation relating TO the number Of patients in
the Asylum who are personally able TO sup
port themselves, Or have legally Responsible
relafives able 70 osuppor them, Or whose rela-

Claims.-An0thcr Chance for Inves.
tigati0m.

SESArE.-Mr. Ingalls, presented resolu-
tions of the Kansas Legislature asking an
appropriation by Congress of one hundred
thousand dollars to aid settlers on the
western frontier to purchase seed, and for
their support during the coming year.
Referred.
Mr.. Bogy presented memorial Of the
St. Louis Chamber Of Commerce, in favor OF
opening the southwest pass of the Missis.
sippi, and demonstrating against the open.
ing of the south pass thereof. Referred.
HoUsE.-The House appropriation bill
being taken up, Mr.. Parker offered sub
stitute for the Choctaw claim amend
ment, providing that the amount shall be
invested in bonds and held by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury in trust for the
Choctaw nation until the individual
claims of the Indians are audited and GER
| tilted, the interest meanwhile, and that
of any surplus, to go to the support Of
Choctaw schools and the government, and
no claims of attorneys, contractors or
claim agents to be recognized or paid.
Mr.. Corning, also a member Of the In
dian committee, offered substitute SINH
lar in substance to that offered BY Mr..
Parker, except that it forbids the pay
ment to any assignee, and requires it to
be made to the individual Indian or his
heirs. He explained the amendment, and
said it had been agreed to by the sub
committee Of Indian affairs.
Mr.. Fort objected to all propositions,
chiefly because if there was merit in it, it
should be presented as m independent,
and not as rider to an appropriation
bill, in which shape the most objection
able measures of late years, relating to
Pacific Mail subsidy, had passed, and be-
cause it was for the benefit of attorneys
and spectators. He knew one attorney
who had . claim against it Of $l2O, 900
for fees, and there sat man now in the
gallery who had said that within twenty
four hours he had taken stock in it
to the amount of $1,000. In fact it was
nothing but pool and playt thing, kicked
about from one end Of the avenue to the
other.
Mr.. Parker Of Missouri--Give US the
name of that man.
Mr.. Fort--I will give his name when
ever q committee is appointed to investi-
gate the matter, and hope one will be
appointed. l know what / am talking
about, and am not to be frightened BY
the gentleman from Misso>ri 3<hF. Pr
ker).
Finally both the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw amendments were rejected and the
bill then passed.

Mantorville ExPress. it appears that the
Sheriff seized upon and sold the entire in.

required BY NV. After the sale wa
made the Sheriff offered the defendan,
the privilege Of making such reservation
as the law allows. but this offer was re.
fused and the entire crop replevined. The
Judge, in his decision. declares the sale
void, Is the Sheriff had no right to in

THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING.

tt seems to III that tho most.prnctical way
Of Bettling the present unfortunate situation
Of the now Custom House building Ia 10 60 to
the foundation Of things. Much time and
talk arc wasted iu discussing tho qunlity and
appearance Of the stones, as II these were
vital defects. There is no doubt that some
Of the stones have commenced peoling, owing
to tho action OF the atmosphere, but they
might peel great doal moro than they hive
without seriously affecting the intrinsic quail
isy Of auch massive blocks as havo baen used
In the building thus far, and these defects
might be rolDedied by M application OF paint
or cement, which would protect them against
atmospheric Influences The variogatod
qnality OF the stones, again, ia not vital de-
feet, however unplaasant It may DO to tho
eye, although The man who pissed such atones
ought to bo severely punished for Ills dere-
liction of duty. The real point which should
be sottlet1ia tho character OF tue ground or soil
and its capacity to hold the burden laid upon
II. II II Is unable to hold the basement and
first story, already erected, It would be the
height Of folly to pile up suporstsuctuza Of
three Or four stories more.
The Government Commissioners, In their
investigations thus far. hare discovered that,
after certain distance of boring, tho augas
strikes mud or quicksands 50 soft and pliab]s
that It can bo easily pushed. and sufficient
other testimony has been developed to pro-
duco doubt whether the foundation IL se-

however, who have mode those experiments
arc strangers hero, and know nothing Of the
character OF the soil. II would seem, there.
fore. very proper and entirely desirable that

make an examination Of this ground also and
