THE HOUSE

reassembled at II O'Clock, and after the
journal had been read the speaker laid
b etore the House o communication from
the President Of the Electoral Commits
sion.
Mr. Lamar, of Mississippi, was imme-
diately recognized, and offered resolu.
tion that the Clerk Of the House be
directed to inform the Senate that
the House would be ready at IL O'clock
on Monday, the 10th inst, to receive the
Senate to proceed with the count Of the
vote under the Electoral Act.
Mr.. Kasson, Of Iowa, desired to rise
to a question of privilege, and called at
tention to the fact that the Secretary OF
the Senate had been there some time
with message from the Senate.
Calls to order from the Democratic
side. RS. IL. ..
The Speaker said that was no ques-
tien of privilege.
Mr.. Kssson persisted in addressing
the Chair when he was again called to
order from the Democratic side, and the
Speaker directed him to sit down.
Mr.. Kasson--Will the Chair recognize
question OF order?
Voices on the Democratic side-No
no!
was asking the Chair and not thai
side of the House.
The Speaker, irritable, "What is your
point OF orderW
Mr.. Kasson replied that message
from tae Senate was a privileged Ques.
tion, and that it bears directly Oh the
subj bject-nlatter under consideration,
Yoices-"HoW do you kno W thatW
The Speaker said that II was not a
point OF order. He had no disposition to
stop a message from the Senate, but he
had laid a message before the House
from the Commission, and the resolu.
tion of the gentleman from Mississippi
was pertinent to the question.
The Speaker WAS about to put the
question on the resolution, when MI.
Burchard, OF Illinois, alter several et.
forte, was recognized, and made the
point that II was not competent to ad-
journ beyond 10 O'Clock.
MT. Lanar-The gentleman mlsappre-
hended the resolution. 1t was not that
the House should take recess, but
that there should be Joint Convention

THE MISERABLk PARTS An
SHIP OF THE COMMISSION.

1t is sad reflection, when the whole
people of the Country sought to effect
the organization of a tribunal which
could forget partisanship in patriotism,
and love of Office in that of the Union,
that the body thus organized and in
vested with authority at once loses
popular respect and confidence. How
absurd it seems that such body of
men created for such lofty purposes
and invested with such hopes and ex-
traordinary powers becomes unworthy
of itself and of the age and country
aud even forgetful of the position it
must occupy in history. Ptiable to
the last degree become jurists and
statesmen in such a place when they
vote and act and speak simply as parti-
sans. 1t makes men blush that they
are Americans, and we constantly hear
it said by hOnest,patriots: 'Have we
not reached the lowest depths of pol
luton when a court can not be created
which may forget itself while defining
the fortunes of the whole country2"
OF Morton aud one or two others, of
whom less is known, assigned to places
on the commission, nothing more or
less was expected. We supposed that
Norton would vote for any proposition
that Radicalism commended; but it
was deemed impossible that this great
court of ''claims" would present itself
before the worlds expectant eyes in the
pitiable attitude of Republican ward
meeting. 1t is shameful to see each
member of this supposed illustrious
tribunal voting simply as partisan ne
cesslties suggest. In fact, the decis-
ion of the commission upon any given
question is already known when the
question itself is announced and since
majority Of the commission consists
of Republicans, the chances are, though
the people elected Tilden, that Hayes
will be the President. Nothing can pre-
vent.this result, we greatly fear, unless
such startling knaveries be developed
that the counting of Louisiana for
Hayes will be impossible. When Dan
Voorhees, said that it was only "a
knock-down scored for RadIcalism" he
did not tell half the truth. The ruling
of the commission was against Tilden,
but the worst aspect of the facts
effect neither Democracy nor Re-
publicanism as such. Patriotism weeps
when it sees how incapable of
greatness our greatest men, jurists and
statesmen, have become, when there are
none who can rise above the passions
and prejudices and selfshness of party
and expound laws and facts for the
whole country-for the Union of to-
day and for the Centennial Union of a
hundred years to come.
The people will be wiser and honest
er than the great court they have in
stituted and approved. However un-
worthy it may be of the purposes of
its existence, and however imbruted its
partisanship, the people, having made
it the arbiter of the country's fortunes
and of the rights of parties, will ac-
cept its DEGREES as final. But if these
be plainly wrongful and plainly parti-
san, the commission and It's appointee
to power will be alike and forever in
famous and impotent.

THE Suez canal is looked upon as
finally successful by European capital
lists and governments. This water-cut,
connecting the Mediterranean and the
Red Seas, is at present patronized by
twenty-four regular lines of steamers,
employing two hundred and thirty four
steamers, of 509,4 tonnage. Not
very long ago we were reading paper
called The Baptist, published east of
the Mississippi, which declared that
the prophecies of the Bible asserted
that the Red and NJ editerraneSn seas
could never be linked together, and
that Lesseps and the Khedive, in dig
ging the great ditch, were fighting
Gods DEGREES. But Disraeli, who be-
lieves devoutly In the assertions of
the Old Testament, has bought a
majority of the Suez canal stock,
and it seems that the Bap-
tist or the British premier is
incapable of comprehending the
plain assertions of Holy Writ. By the
way, 1t would be fortunate event in
the course of modern disquisitions af-
fecting the value of the Bible, if, in
repairing this canal or in dredging
shallow places in the Red Sea, the
Khedive's people could discover the
salted remains of Pharsoh's hosts or
his petrified chariots; and then, too,
how interesting to antiquariaus study
of the extraordinary fact that Lesseps's
contractors found remains of an older
canal than this which they excavated,
and learned that there was an older
Egyptian civilization than that of
which Moses tells, and older than the
Pharsohs or Shepherd Kings. The Sec
ond chapter of the book of Nahum
gives an admirable description of rail-
ways and locomotives, and in Ma
huns time, as one may we'll infer
from HIS simple recltals, the street
cars in Nineveh were propelled
by steam and were addicted to an
occasional collision and smash up. But
there is nothing new, as Solomon dis
covered, under the sun, and we are su-
perior in little to races that existed
ages before the pyramids were up
reared. If any doubt, let them read
the thirty-eighth chapter of Job, and
see how the old fellow was accus-
toned to send messages by the light
ming.
1t is moreover true that Job
tells of that great void in immensity
which excited, when recently dis
covered by astronomers, the amaze
ment of modern learning, and how Jo b
and his contemporaries could have
known of its existence with cut teles-
copes and observatories, is more than
we propose to explain.

IL the grand returning board of par
tisans at Washington continue as it
has begun, the susceptible heart of R
Burchard Hayes will not bleed as much
for poor Africa as it did in November.
He will take it easier and find his
bosom soothed, and he may even re-
member that there are forty millions of
whites in the United States. When
looking about him uneasily for some
thing to say when He thought himself
and party beaten in November, he dis
covered the irrepressible negro and
blest him; when, now, he may find
himself counted in by new and re-
vised edition of the Louisiana machine,
he will be more self-possessed and, oc-
cupying higher position and one in
which he Is assured of power and
safety, he will talk and think more
nationally ana weep neither for
poor Lo nor poor Sambo nor for
Chang Loo. He may see at last that
when the whites prosper the blacks are
blest and that prosperity is impossible
In communities governed by stupidity
which knavery employs to overthrow
honest and good government. When
Hayes made his last speech he was not
assured of his right to speak and did
not know what standpoint he occE-
pied. Therefore the folly and inauity
of his utterances; but now, when he
has surely won IN the construction of
the Mortonized and thus bull dczed
grand commission, Mr.. Hayes should
talk again.
