WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-lhe House spent the al

last week by Mr.. KuOtts committee. The most no

that the nights of the States and of To-

against legislative encroachment or Executive
interference. As to the methods of the last election
and the testimony taken by both parties in the
Southern States Prof. Seelye said: "As to some of

He declared himself unreservedly in favor of the

Prof Seeye closed as follows: "The report of the
Joint Committee shows patriotism so lofty and so

1t would be glory shed upon the opening year OF

THE FIFTH JUSTICE.

STRONG OBJECTIONS TO CHOOSING JUSTICE DAVIS.
rBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-If the compromise scheme
goes through there will be serious objection urged
TO the selection of Jadgc Davis as the NTH member
from the Supreme bench. His name is constantly
mentioned in connection with the Democratic nomi-
nation for Senator in Illinois, and disapproval
has come from him. this circumstance, taken IN con-
nection with his candidacy for the ST. Louis nomi-
nation for the Presidency is held to make
him unavailable. 1t is conceded that the
fifth Judge must necessarily be man
with some political predictions, but there
would be an obvious improperly, 1t Is argued, III
selecting any person identified with the active move
ments of the Democracy and hoping for preferment
from that party The selection, if the consideration
of seniority prevails will fall upon Justice Swayne

Of his residence in Ohio then it is likely that JUS
