At first a few of Mr.. Cars Democratic associates

the subject by mentioning that the cleo

ocrats of Florida against the regular Republican
candidate, was elected Democrat and served
two terms as Democratic State Senator. Coupled
with his few remarks a gross insult to the Com

the result would be to PREJUDICE the case OF "a''o

the Commission under the Electoral law because
there was contesting return from Illinois lne'e
fore the question of regarding the challenged vote
would have been acted on separately by the TWO
houses and as the Senate would not have consented
to throw the vote out it would have oeeh
counted. Thus the only plain case OF dlsquanh-
cation of an elector at the time he cast his vote
which the Democrats have found would nave peeh

would naturally have been diminished. They couid
not well ask the Commission to refuse Wattss vote

LEGISLATION IN ARREARS.
GRAVE DOUBTS ABOUT GETTING rHRoUGH-A NEW
RULE IN THE HOUSE.
rBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrBUHE.1

RULE IN THE HOUSE.
rBr TELEGRAPH TO rRrBUsRl
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Just before the close of
the session in the House to-day the Committee on
Rules reported resolution providing that during
the Presidential count the House, when not in joint
session, shall proceed with business after ~ o'clock
of each calendar day though an actual adjourn
ment had taken place the night before. This resolu
ton was adopted after little controversy. Ii was
amended so as 10 provide that it should not be
strued in any way 10 interfere with the
business of the joint convention. This
luton has a history. The subject matter
has been for several days under consideration
by the Committee on Rules. Until this morning
there was an evident disposition among the Demo-
Gratis of that committee to prevent its adoption. as
they seemed TO fear that the result of any change of
the rules would be to give the friends of the Pacific
Railroad bills opportunity to get their measures
before the House for consideration and action. As
long as the legislative day of Thursday, Feb l.
tnues and morning hour is had, il will be impOs
sbe for any Of these measures to get a footh0d in
the House. This morning a sudden change Of policy
seems to have taken place aud the committee, by a
strictly party vote, directed Mr. Cox to report the
resolution. which passed.
Gen. Banks and Mr. Wilson of Iowa, members of
the committee were Of opinion that act of Con-
gress is required TO relieve the House from the en-
barrassments il abors under, and that the pro-
visions of the Electoral bill cannot be changed by
resolution of a single branch of Congress. The Re-
publican members Of the Committee on Rules also
seemed to fear that such change might afford the
Democrats opportunity for favorable rulings,
which might assist in the fibustering movement, II
one should be made after the Louisiana case has
been decided, and prevent the determination of the
Presidential count. There is need enough of faciii-
tating the public business in both houses of Congress
The general appropriation bills not nearly dis
posed OF, and if Congress should devote its whole
time to them, their passage would not be secured
any too socn prevent their failure by the expra-
ton of the term Besides this there considerable
other legislation which ought to be disposed of.
Some Of the oldest and most experienced members
of the House, who up to this time have invariably
expressed the opinion that the necessary legislative
work would be completed before the 4th of March,
now begin to have grave doubts. If any one of the
regular appropriation bills should fail to become a
law, an extra session of Congress would be neces-
sary. Such session would have to be called by the
new President, and as it probably would not meet
before early in April and would occupy considera-
BILE time in organization, It's adjournment could
hardly be looked tor before the LIST of July.
