The Ohio Representatives.

4 fl.AN ~ lNSEAI AENbEkS Of
CONGRESS.
Dr.. Il. E. Bradford, OF Cincinnati who is
closely intimate with Hon. Milton Sayler, ar
rived in Washington this morning. He says
that Mr.. Sayler is strongly advised by leading
democrats TO contest the seat OF his successful
rival, ButterWOrth. Senator Beck is persistent
in urging that Sayier should take this course,
and the senator moreover holds that the CLERK
III the House OF Representatives would be JUS
Eti1ied in leaving off the rolls OF the House all
membeTS-elcct in whose districts the super
visor law was taden advantage OF. There is a
plan on foot that the next session OF Congress
the democrats pass resolution directing the
Clerk, in making up the list OF memberS-elect to
the FOrty-SlXth Congress, TO drop those who
had taken advantage of the supervisor law. The
effect OF this would be, of course, to take away
the prima facie right Of certain successful re-
publican candidates, just how this is to be
done, however. in view OF the constitutional
provision that each House shall be the Judge of
the qualifications of its own members, IS not
manifest. The FOrty-fifth Congress can hardly
put an inhibition on the FOrty-SiXth Congress
and prescribe the qualifications of its members.
