WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.
Tho House of Representatives at the
opening of the session witnessed an
immense Of people. There
we're very few members absent. The
Speakers chair was draped in mourn
ing in respect to the memory of the
late Speaker Kerr. There being there
fore no presiding officer, the House
WAS called to order at moo by Clerk
Adams, who %thereupon called the roll
of members. The call showed 249
members present. the whole number
on the roll being 2S8. AS soon as the
call was finished Holman rose to offer
a resolution for the election of Speaker,
but Banks interposed as a question of
superior privilege the right of the
| member elect from Colorado to have
his name placed on the roll. 80 that he
might participate in the election OF
Speaker, and SEMI up the credentials of
the Colorado member.
A discussion ensued on the question
of precedence. Holman and other Dem
ocrats %contending that the ~organiza.
ton of the House was necessarily the
first business in order. while Banks
and other Republicans commended that
all the mem bers had Il right TO partici-
pate in the election.
Frye claimed the same right for his
colleage elected in the place of Blaine.
Finally the Clerk decided that the
resolution offered by Holmes took
precedence. From that decision an
appeal was taken by Banks, which ap-
peal Cox moved to lay on the table,
which was agreed to.
Holmes resolution then came up
for action and was adopted without OPP
position. 1t was as follows: 1.-THE
House being informed that since its
last adjournment NJ. C. Kerr, who at
the commencement of the present
Congress was elected Speaker of the
House, departed this life, creating Il
vacancy In the office of Speaker, it is
therefore ordered that the House do

THE NEWS.

Az usual there Is nothing definite re-
garding the presidential situation.
The result Of the canvass in Florida is
to be proclaimed to-day and possibly
we may have it in time for our next
issue.
The meeting of Congress yesterday
was attended with unusual excitement,
but beyond this nouncemen we
have nothing from either House. The
Speakership was probably determined,
but the telegraph has not deigned to in
form us on the subject.
A highly sensational and extremely
improbable story comes from South
Carolina. 1t consists In nothing less
than a diabolical plot to murder all of
the Democratic members of the Legis-
lature Of that State. The plan Of the
conspiracy Is we'll conceived and ex.
citing, but We think our readers will
pretty generally pronounce the whole
thing "too thin" It Is of a piece with
the Eliza Pinkston horror and Is en-
titled perhaps to no more credit. The
writer's of specials" for the New York
press seem TO think the manufacture

Republicans contemplate the gushing

otherwise, the members from Edge
