THE ROLL OF THE NEXT HoUsE.-Tne
| CIelk OF The House OF Representatives has
| made up his official roll of the mem ber5-elect
OF the next House. He has pnrpcsely de
| layed this as long as he conveniently could,
on account OF the many points ne has been
| called upon to decide in making ii up. He
| The names OF both Belford aud Patterson,
| a ID 10 leave the state unrepresentei until
| after the House itself shall have decided
| wIeiher Mr.. BeifOrd is entitled 10 his seat.
| Of the votes according to the orders OF the
| supreme court of that state, putting on the
rolls Davidson, democrat, in the first dis
| trict, aid Bisbee, republican, in the second
| district. Tie first count gave Purman, fe-
pablican, 29i majority. The second count
| gave Davidson, DEMOCRAT, $40 majority.
| Bisbee, republican, had majority on both
counts in the second district. In deciding
the question of who shall represent the
fourth and sixth districts in louisiana Mr.
Adams excludes the kellogg certificates on
the ground that they do not comply with the
law, and admits the two democrats ELAN
and Robertson, on the Nichols certificates
The Lou lsiana delegation will therefore be
soiidly democratic. The Certificate of Pa
checo, republican, of California, Is not Vet
received, but he is known to be elected. The
one contested case In Missouri is still in the
courts, and is not likely 10 be decided ID. e
yious 10 the meeting OF Congress, SO that one
district from that state will not be represent-
ed In the organization.
