Mechanics 1nstitute and Joined the
McEnery Senate at Odd Fellows HALF
Mr.. Hunsacker-- went there intend
ing to do right, but went there as q
Republican,.
Mr.. Booth-You then declared your
conviction that John McEnery had been
elected Governor. What Is your con-
viction now?
Mr.. Hunsacker thought the question
did not affect the matter before the
House, and, without answering Mr..
Booth, resumed his seat.
Mr.. Hahn said the telegram represent
ed Mr.. Able and another member, name
not heard, as having received brides,
whereas both had uncompromisingl
opposed Mr.. West.
Mr.. Hammond deprecated the spirit
exhibited to the New Orleans DEMOCRAT.
It had simply'given telegram repeat
ing that which had already appeared In
the New York Tribune, q respectable
journal, and had only done what any
other live newspaper would have done.
Mr.. Young introduced his resolution,
declaring the entire confidence OF the
House in the judicial integrity OF Judge

sary in consequence OF the House, at the
last regular session, having had articles
Of impeachment prepared against the
Judge After some discussion the mat
ter was laid on the table subject to call.
Mr.. Elliott's bill to remit taxes on
copal Protestant Orphans Home,
passed.
Mr.. Hahn read to the House an article
In the morning DEMOCRAT, In relation to
the ''SlaughterhOuse Bonanza" in
which he appeared to be the holder of
$50 shares, under the head of "expend-
cd shares" and was called upon for an
explanation. Mr.. Hahn said he found
no charge In the paper to answer. He
was not In the Legislature when the bill
passed. and could not have been paid,
he had owned stock he did not deny.
He had had five times as much as the
amount named In the DEMOCRAT, for he
had speculated in It. eff that's the
sort Of explanation the DEMOCRAT wants
from the facetious, jolly Mr.. Ham,"
Mr.. Hahn closed, 1.-THE DEMOCRAT has it. "

tered into the House and read from the

There is quite an excitement among the Con-
eervative members. owing to the discovery of
the fact that two Of their members drew double
mileage and per diem last year. They first drew
from Mr.. Hunsaker ~ chairman Of the Com
mittee on Contingent Expenses, and afterwards
at the extrn session. Both the members were
brought up and arraigned before the caucus OF
recent meeting.
Mr.. Lowell thought that ~ Republic
cans were being investigated upon the
charges Of Democratic newspapers,
Democrats also should be investigated
when accused by them.
Several voices Move for your investi-
eating committee.
Mr.. Lowell, however, took no steps In
the matter. and the House adjourned to
