Proceedings of the Congressional Conn

New ORLEANS, Dec 22.-The House COM
mittee met at II. 30 this morning for the pur-
pose of organizing and to arrange preliminary
matters. The executive session lasted till r.
20. The committee met again at 1.15 p. IN. =,
Morrison in the chair, aud a large number Of
witnesses were present. Gen. Hurlburt gave
notice that he would on Wednesday file pro-
test to the jurisdiction of the committee under
the resolution going into election matters.
Morrison rquired of the sergeant at arms if
Wells was present. Chas. S. Abel. secretary
of the returning board, stepped forward and
presented sealed envelope which was opened
and found to contain communication signed
by all of the members of the board. This was
read by the clerk and states in substance that
four members of the returning board deny the
authority OF the House of Representatives to
revise the decision of the returning board till
they deliver their documents to the General
Assembly. They also protest against the at
tempt of the House of Representatives of the
United States to obtain and review the docu-
ments in their possession, and claim that as
individuals they cannot, under the constitu-
ton and laws Of the state, surrender them.
They state further that they will save copies of
all the documents made, for the committee, if
the committee will provide the necessary means,
that the legislature has made no appropriation
tor them and they cannot therefore furnish
copies unless the committee furnish funds.
Those copies they say will be made as soon as
they are through with the documents, provided
funds are furnished.
When the communications had been heard
the chairman asked if Mr. Wells was present
and being answered in the negative, he in
structed the Sergeant alarms to rotify the
members of the returning board their presence
would be expected at II o'clock on Wednesday
morning in obedience to the order of the Speak
er of the House of Representatives of the Unit
ed States. Another Communication from the
secretary of the returning board was then read
in answer to subpoena duces tecuan served on
him, declining to furnish the documents, as be
had been instructed not to do so. These re-
fusals created considerable excitement. The
room was crowded with spectators and wit

Friends and Fellow Citizens-I thank you for
your visit, and for your excellent music, to
which have listened and which has delighted
me. You could not expect me to say much
more. Yon could not expect me to speak of
political matters on this occasion, and certainly
not of the position which affairs have assumed
at the present time. take your call rather as
an expression of the good feelings you have for
me on the score of old acqusintanceship than
anything else. l regard it rather as a call from
my old neighbors here in this city, where
pleasantly. said to gentleman today that
had more personal friends here in Cincinnati
than anywhere else n the world; than all other
places in the world, might have almost as
well added. Again [ thank you for this COM
pliment and for your music, both vocal and in
strumental. They will be pleasanter to hear
than anything l could say to you. Good night.
