been denied-justice to the Mississippi
Valley Statcs--a cry which in reality
means that portion of the great valley
whose waters run through what was not
long since the home of slavery and re-
bellion. The Speaker seems to be, and
doubtless is, in full sympathy with those
who desire to leave, not only New Eng

ern Atlantic States, with those of the
Great Lake region also.
The geographical distribution of the
committees establish this The States in
the lower Mississippi Valley are given
eleven chairfhanships, distributed as fol-
lows: Missouri, five, Mississippi, Louisi-
ana. Alabama, and Arkansas, one each,
while Tennessee has two, both from dis
tricts affiliated in interests with the great
Valley. The six New England States,
New York, New Jersey, and Maryland,
with thrty-six democrats in their delega-
tons. have but five chairmanshlps. three
of which are quite insignificant. The
Southwestern States already named have
only twenty nine democrats in their dele
cations. The Atlantic States already
named have seventy-tour representatives;
the others have but thirty-seven. Take
another group-kentucky Ohio, Illinois,
and Indiana and the comparison is as
striking. This group has seventeen chair
manships, and those Of the most impor-

4 NEW SECTIONAL STRIFE.

1t is somewhat surprising to note the
bitterness with which, in certain circles,
the seaboard States, especially those OF
New England, are alluded to. OF course
this feeling is almost wholly found in
democratic ranks. Those who note the
signs Of the times, and look below the sur
face for causes and motives. cannot have
failed to observe the peculiar circum-
stances that attended. for instance, the
quite recent temperance OF Mr. Jeffer-
son Davis as an oratorical expounder on
public affairs.
A noteworthy feature Of the addresses
delivered by Mr.. Davis to different agri-
cultural societies, was his adroit presenta-
ton of the claims made for the Mississippi
Valley as the natural controlling force in
the American Union. He ought to know
whether 1t is SO or not, for the attempt to
sunder that great river by an imaginary
line. made the Confederacy fore-doomed
failure. But the purpose evidently was to
reanimate in another form the sectional
policies on which political supremacy has
30 often turned.
There are many other proofs of this to
be noted, such as, for instance, the evil
dent desire to control In the interests of a
section the great organization of farmers
and planters known as the "Grangers. s.

1t seems that during the closing excitement OF
Mr.. Blaine's speech on amnesty, MIR. Jones OF

leave to print some remarks. His request was
made very quietly and attracted no attention.

man of respeC table repute IN the vicinity where
he resided This is the testimony Of those who
knew him most intimately. 1t is not an uncom-
mon occurrence to speak of the departure OF men,
bers of this body; and yet, the present occasion
is a sad one, and more especially so to the family
that has been bereft of kind and loving husband
and father. His work is done, and now, to show
the respect of this House, beg to offer the fol-
lowing resolutions and move their adoption:
Resolved, That this House receives information
Of the death of John F. Robinson, member
elect of this body from the town OF Holden, with
profound grief and sees in this inscrutable decree
of the divine wisdom, a solemn reminder of that
eternity to which we are all rapidly Fastening.
Resolved, That the faithful and constant efforts
of the deceased for the good Of the community in
which he lived his patience under the slow raw
ages of disease, and his high reputation and up
right life furnish examples to us all for the prop.
er use of our opportunities, both in public and
private life.
Resolved, That as a mark Of respect for the
memory of the deceased, his seat in this House
be draped in mourning for seven days.
Resolved That these resolutions be entered
upon the journal of the House, and copy signed
by the Speaker and Clerk forwarded to the family
Of the deceased.
The resolutions were UNANIMOUSLY adopted.
Mr. HAMILTON of Dexter rose and said
Mr. SPEAKER 1t becomes my painful duty to
announce the death of George w. Getchell, Esq,
a member of this House, who died at his home in
Plymouth on the oath inst
Mr.. Getchell was present at the organization of
this House, and it is but very few days since he
occupied seat here in our midst, with better
prospect of long and useful life than many OF us
who are left. His vacant seat draped IN mourn
| ing speaks to us to-day IN language more elo-
quent and impressive than any words that l can
| possibly utter, and forcibly reminds us of the
shortness and uncertainty of human life; and it
admonsbes us to be also ready for we know not
when or whose seat may be vacant next.

polled, Nugent having one hundred and

three. Mr.. Nugent is a strong man, as the
ward Is reliably Republican by twenty ma

the Republicans and Crusaders to beat
Nugent, but they failed.
