The House did not concur in the Senate
amendments to the bill appointing receiv.
ers for the national banks, and asks com.
mittee Of conference.
The House went into committee Of the
whole on Mr.. Morrison's tariff bills, re-
ported by the Committee on Ways and
Means.
Mr. Morrison is speaking.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Morrison's
speech the Emma mine committee report
ed. Its CONCLUSION are that it WAS not
proper for the American minister at the
court of st. James to connect himself %
director with the Emma Mining Company;
that General Schenck's relations to tho
vendors of the mine were OF such
. character as to cast suspicion
on his motives and subject his
action to unfavorable criticism, while
the committee does not believe him guilty
of any fraudulent intention and that his
subsequent speculative dealings in the
shares of the company were not compatible
with his diplomatic situation: The COM
mittee therefore recommends the adoption
| of . resolution declaring Mr.. Schencks &C.
ton a. i'll advised, unfortunate and incom-
patible with the duties of his official posi-
ton. The report went over.
The Committee Of the District have been
directed to inquire how the copy Of the re-
| port published in the New York Tribune
and Euening Star, was obtained. The
| chairman stated that the paper had not
been considered more than an hour, and
had not been adopted by the committee.
The Democratic caucus announced for to-
| night adjourned.

A Committee Nuisance.

Another crazy witness came upon the
stage of action yesterday in the Louisiana
investigation. HIS name is D. D. Foley.
His avocation We do not know. He some
time ago informed the chairman of the
committee that he was in possession of
valuable facts. Without looking into the
matter at all the chairman subpenaed him,
and kept him waiting ten days before he
was put upon the stand, for which delay he
received about $3O Yesterday he testified.
He announced his bottom facts, and the
result was the committee ordered his en-
tire testimony to be stricken ont, and the
man summarily discharged. Thus the
Democratic committees are duped by
vestigation expenses roll mountain high to
interest and amuse q tax ridden people,

Dom Pedro. As the Grand Republic

A Question Of Appointment.

The validity of the appointment of Judge
Lynch to the vacancy caused in the Superb
or District Court by the death of Judge
Hawkins, is already exciting discussion in
the newspapers. 1t is probable the matter
will be determined in short time. In the
case of the State of Louisiana * rel. War.
moth vs. Graham, Auditor, &c An. 56S, the
Supreme Court held that
The absence of the Governor from the
State for few days creates no vacancy in
the office and does not authorize the as-
sumption Of the dnties, Prerogstives and
emo1uments thereof by the Lieutenant Gov.
ernor diving said absence. 1t must be
under q proper construction of article fifty
ty.three of the constitution that such an
inability to discharge the duties Of the
Office as well as such absence from the
State as would affect injariously the pub.
lie interests.
And sgsin, in the same case, the court
says:
There being NO provision of law for the
mode in which the Governor is to manifest
to the public his absence from the State, it
to his responsibility to the people. The
court does not think that it was ever con
templated that the movements of the Gov
ernOr should be watched, with the view that
the Lieutenant Governor or Speaker Of the
House of Representatives should slip into
his seat the moment he stepped across the
borders Of the State. The question to be
decided ie, does the absence of the Gov
ernor from the State for few days create q
vacancy in his office and authorize the as
SUMPTION Of the duties, prerogatives and
emo.unents thereof by the Lieutenant Gov
enOr during said absencea
THIS question the court decided in the
negative, affirming the judgment of the
lower court to the same effect. This de-
cision, a. well as several others of like
tenor in previous reports, settles the ques
ton as to the contested validity of the
commission of Judge Lynch against such
validity, and if Governor Kellogg should
commission an incumbent Of the superior
District Court, vice Judge Hawkins, de-
ceased, there is no doubt that such commits
mission would be valid, and such appointee
would be the legal judge of the Superio'
District Court.
This view is strengthened from the fact
that, as We are informed. Judge Lynch has
failed to qualify, as the law directs, by
filing his oath of office with the Secretary
of State
