had neglected that duty. The first thing
which Congress ought TO do should be to
declare what portion of interest and
principal CT these should be paid out OF
the national treasury and the balance
could be collected from the people of the
district. La IR'conclusion he said he pre-
ferred the resolution as it came from the
House of Representatives and was op-
posed to the amendments proposed by the

and that nothing in the resolution shall
involve the government of the United
States in any obligation to pay the prin
cipal or interest of such bonds, which
have been issued contrary to, or not in
pursuance Of the law.
Mr.. Sargent submitted an addition to
the amendment presented by him, so as
to provide that when the limit in the
issue of said bonds shall be reached, the
Board of Audit of the District shall be
abolished, and all papers IN their posses
sion turned over to the District Commis
siOners.
Pending the discussion Mr.. Bogy pre-
sented a petition of e. G. Bingham,
Adjutant. General of Missouri, asking
the passage of law authorizing the ex-
animation, allowance and payment Of the
claims of the State against the general
government for supplies furnished to
United States troops during the late war
Referred TO the Committee on Military
Affairs.

CATION desired particularly to obtain some
means by which the crime of polygamy
may be reached in the courts and TO this
end proposed the revision of the
Jury law by which polygamists
shall be excluded, as under the present
system with Mormon polygamists on the
jury box it is an impos:loility to Obtain
convictions. TIE interview also related
to the suffrage question in Utah, the
delegation contending the leaders OF the
church lntircly controlled the ballot among
the Mormons, many of whom would
vote with the gentiles if allowed. The
President expressed his sympathy for any
movement attending to alleviate the pres

the evils of polygamy, and assured them
of his favor towards them in all laws
passed toward that end.

publicans fly in the face of their own
platform, and of their previous records.
Messrs. Conger and Garfield offered
the reductions and Mr.. Lamar favored
them.
Mr.. Hale defended himself from the
charge of Inconsistency brought against
him by Mr.. Cox, in voting against the
Centennial bill last year and for it this
year. The reason for his voting against 1t
last Congress was that the bill then would
have committed the Government to the
whole cost of the Exposition. He had
never had an unpleasant personal con-
troversy with any member, but when in
the midst of q discussion that was not
personal, but might be called animated,
there was language used which should
only be heard in low places, and where
such language was hurled at him he was
SO vain that he was apt to retort, as he
had done few moments ago in language
unparllamsntary, for which he should
probably, as he did now in the presence
Of the House, apologize.
Mr.. Cox-The gentleman from Name

that there were masters over me.
Finally the discussion closed, and the
Committee proceeded to vote on the
amendments.
Mr.. Hamilton's amendment making
the pay Of cadets $40 with additional

All the other amendments either in

their homes in order 70 escape further
violence, and
WHEREAS, In justification Of these
violent measures, these "Regulators"
have declared that said officials were
ignorant incompetent unworthy and
dishonest" and that it is absolutely y neces-
sary that they be removed by violent
means and others appointed in their
stead, in order TO secure peace and order
in these parishes.
WHEREAS, Grave and serious charges
have been preferred against the moral
and political character Of several State
and parochial officers OF said parishes,
which, il proven, will be sufficient TO de-
prive them Of the positions they now ill;
and
WHEREAS, 1t is reported that these
"regulstors,' IN the measures employed
by them TO carry out their ends, have
placed the lives and property Of citizens
in jeopardy, and the civil authorities are
wholly unable 10 preserve law and order;
therefore, be it
ResoLred, Thst committee OF i've be
