But her memory. still. around my heart,
Like morning mists has hung.

And OF n soft and gentle hand

And that same hand that held my own.

And the Joy that sparklei in her eyes
Wben first l tried to talk
For they say the mothers heart Is pleased
When infant charms cSpauds--

For I know che is IN heaven. now

And then she used TO knecl with me,

And raise my little hands to heaven.
And tell me what to say.

And will hope in heaven Al last,

THE HOUSE DECLARES TnDEN ELECTED IN FLORIDA
D. d. FIELD TRYING To ORGANIZE BOLT.
lBY TELEGRAPH THE rRIBUSE.l
WAsulNGToS, Feb. 14.-There has been general
comment tonight over the action OF the House to-
day in passing the resolution of the Florida Commit
tee declaring Tlden elected in that State and over
the investigation by Mr. Fields Committee of the
question of the inelgbty of MrChaffee, an elector
from Illinois, when the votes of both Of those States
have been counted for Hayes by the Joint Conven-
ton.
One Interpretation Of the matter which possesses
considerable pausibility is that these things are
part of plan by which David Dudley Field aud the
more extreme Tilden managers hope 10 induce the
House at some stage Of the counting. IN case the
Commission decides Louisiana to be for Hayes, TO
declare that there has been no election OF PRESIDENT
and at once proceed to elect Mr.. Tlden. 1t Is GER
tain that a number Of influential Democrats here
still assert the right of the House TO do this at any
stage of the proceedings. They maintain that this
right being constitutional cannot be taken away by
the Electoral bill. The same class of men talk
about breaking up the Commission by the reslgna-
zion Of the Democratic members and the REFUSAL OF
the House to fill the vacancies. Republicans are
not in the least disturbed by these indications.
They feel confident that large number
of Democrats will steadily oppose such measures
A~"~ND~@J
the rule governing the count there is no species OF
fbusterlng possible that will not require major
ty vote TO carry it on. Increase of vacancies on
the Commission, the agreement in writing signed
by Senator Stevenson the part of the Senate
Democrats. and by Mr. Lamar on the part of those
in the House, binding their party in each house to
fill such vacancies would of itself make 1t mpossl-
BILE to carry the honorable men on that side for
propositiOn to take extreme ground.
1t is underst Ood that the next report to be taken
I'D is Mr. Morrison's, and that an attempt will be
made to give an opportunity in the House for all the
members to make the speeches they have prepared
and then declare by vote in case of Florida TO-
day. that the Tllden electors in Louisiana were
elected This course is expected Immediately after
the decision of the Electoral Commission. Mr..
Field went to-day taking testimony IN the
Louisiana case. The ground he is still trying to
cover relates 10 a question about which no one eX-
poets the Commission 10 admit testimony and this
persistence of Mr. Field helps strengthen the con-
vcton that the ultimate design of those acting with
him is to induce the House if possible 10 proceed to
elect Mr. Tilden President.
