WASHINGTON, January l7.-Iiouse /:
a feature In the House proceedings to.
day was the debate on the resolution
for the arrest OF the mbers of the
Louisiana returning board to answer
ut the bar Of the House for contempt.
Banks, of Massachusetts,, declared that
the State OF Louisiana should yield the
paper called for except to superior
force, and that it should not permit
them to be taken from there. Cox, of
New York, closed the debate, and de.
picted the wasted and crushing condi-
ton OF the State OF Louisiana, and de-
clared that now her voice was poten-
tial on the decision of the Presidential
question; that voice had been given
her for peace, for liberty, for Democ-
racy and for Tild5n, and that ii must
