I'm saying that he referred to the amend

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Chalmers OF Mississippi, obtained
the floor and made aspeecb in defence Of
the Presidents southern policy, and Of the
Louisiana authorities in the matter OF the
Returning-Board prosecutions. He said :.
g It is claimed that Anderson should not
have been prosecuted because the lives OF
traitors were spared. The man who takes
up arms In defence Of constitutional
principle Is not more traitor than he who
robs the people Of their elective franchise.
III We were fraitors we met you In the open
field and staked our lives on the justice OF
our cause. Iii the Returning Board and
their abettors were traitors TO republican
liberty, they, with perjury on their lips,
with forgery on their hands, and usurpa-
ton in their hearts, under cover of dark
ness, stole away the priceless Jewel OF con-
stitutionai liberty, and will go down in his
tory linked in iDfamy with the blacklist
traitors in the tide Of time. This is Re-
publican assault on the southern policy Of
the President, but we are satisfied, and will
stand by him az long az he has the manli-
ness to stand by himself
He humOrousiy described the Wormley
conference as meeting OF dipiomatists
giving to each other renewed assurances Of
distinguished consideration, making no
bargains as to what should be done. He
said ii he was Governor OF Louisiana he
would pardon Anderson and Wells after
conviction, but not before He was opposed
to the punishment of tools and dupes for
the services which intellect and power had
sanctioned, il not inspired.
He referred to the presentation Of the
picture OF Abraham Lincoln signing the
emancipation proclamation, and said those
who venerate him for this act OF humanity
to the blacks OF the South should initiate
bis spirit OF justice to the whites OF the same
section. He related an incident of Mr.. Lin
coin on the field of Gettysburg, when he
said: s'The men who held those heights will
be remembered forever: but the men who
charged up those heights will live in his
tory, too, and shall always he proud
that they were my countrymen." Mr..
Chalmers concluded '.The red and the
white rose have blended their hues in Eng
lands glory. Let the bue and the gray be
united in common heritage OF American
yalor."
Mr.. Butler, OF Massachusetts, then made
an hour-and-a-half speech in advocacy Of
what he called 'The American system of
finance and the payment Of all public and
private debts in the silver dollar"
Mr.. Steele, OF North Carolina, from the
Committee on Agriculture, reported a bill
appropriating $4,000 for the expenses OF
a commission to ascertain The best means OF
destroying the army cotton-worm. Refer
red to the Committee OF the Whole.

cREEmsAcK RESOLUTIONS.

AT q meeting OF the citizens Of
Kirkville the following preamble and
resolutions were adopted and order
ed to be forwarded to the county pa.
pers for publication:
In view of the utter ruin and bank
ruptcy of all business and industry,
caused by the continual contraction
of the currency by Withdrawing from
circulation the paper money Of the
nation, and by demonetizing silver
thus unjustly increasing the value Of
the dollar and all fixed securities, and
decreasing the value of all lands and
labor and the products thereof, work.
ing, as q result, the pauperization of
millions of our people therefore we,
the citizens of Kirkville and vicinity,
irrespective of party, demand that
the following resolutions be enacted
into laws by our National Congress
and executed:
Resolved, LIST, That we demand the
immediate and unconditional repeal
of the specie resumption act.
I'd, That we favor the immediate
restoration of the silver dollar of
412h grains weight, to be full legal
tender for all debts, with free and
unlimited coinage.
Sd, That we favor the withdrawal
of the national-bank notes and the is
suing of q volume of United States
legal-tender notes sufiicientin amount
to meet the wants of the business of
the country.
4th, That the United States notes
be legal tender for all debts, public
and private, except where coin has
been expressly stipulated in existing
contracts.
9th, That we favor the payment of
all United States bonds in exact &C.
cordance with the law under which
they were issued, said bonds to be
paid as fast as possible.

sng Journal that on the 14th Of No
vember last q laborers in the mines
Of the Kingston Coal Co., named
Richard Coons, was 90 seriously in
jured whilst at his work that death
ensued the following day. Mine In
spector T. M. Williams brought suit
against Daniel r. Davis, the mine
boss, for neglect of duty in not seeing
that the roof was properly timbered
and supported, by reason of which
neglect it was alleged Coons was kill
ed. Under the charges of Mr.. Will
liams the grand jury found a true bill
against Davis for violation of the
mine law, and the case was tried re-
Gently. The jury returned verdict
of guilty, but recommended the pris.
oncr to the mercy of the court. At
date Of report sentence had not been
pronounced. This case is important
as fixing the responsibility Of mine
bosses, who are charged with the du-
ty Of watching the ventilation and
timbering Of mines and providing
for the safety of the men employed.
We believe the effect will be most
beneficial, and we congratulate In
spector Williams on being the first in
this as in many other cases which
have have had for their object, and
have secured, the greater safety and
welfare Of miners.
Yours. &c. w. II. RAMSAY.

a Question for Discussion.
AVERY, Monroe Co. Iowa, !
EahruArv 1878.


EDITORS COURIER :-SIRs As the
next subject to be discussed (by the
members of the Institute) is to be
ventilation, l give the following ques-
ton, % taken from the Coal Trade
Journal:
I'm mine having two shafts, each
26O feet deep, the ventilation being
due to the furnace at the bottom of the
up-cast shaft, and supposing that the
average temperature in the down-cast
shaft were So degrees, Fahrenheit,
and lao degrees in the up-cast shaft,
and that the barometer indicated 291s
inches at the bottom of the shaft, il
2265O cubic feet of air per minute
were flowing through the mine, what
would be the difference of pressure
of pounds in the two ventilatine
shafts and how many horse power
would be employed in the ventilation
Of the mines ?"
Again-Supposing that there b.
10000 cubic feet Of air per minut,
flowing through an entry, said entr!
