WASHINGTON. April 15.-The House Committee
on Elections, of which Representative Springer of
Illinois, is chairman. met this morning and organ
lied. regular meeting of the committee will be
held tomorrow. and it has been informally agreed
to take up the case of the Iowa claimant who pre-
vailed $50 of his friends to vote for him Rep
resentatve in Congress from the IXth District at
little election held by him one dav last Novem-
Der. 1t is understood that no testimony Will be
taken in this case, and it is thought that, as the
question is a purely legal one, it can easily be
decided. as majority of the committee are men
to whom legal questions Offer few difficulties
which craftsmanship cannot readily overcome. Two
thirds OF the committee arc Democrats ana they
are all known as intense partsans, while not one
OF them distin guished for his ability as lawyer.
1t will be remembered that at the beginning OF this
session Representative Springer brought forward
the case of this Iowa claimant and
did his utmost to dignity it as con-
test for the seat of member who
was elected by 5000 majority in a district where
about 80 900 votes were cast. In view Of this and
of the manner In which the committee is con-
structed it would not be surprising If report
should be made that the sitting member IS not en-
titled to his seat in Congress.

lBY TELEGRAPH To TRIBUSEI
WASHINGTON, April 15.-It is very much to be
hoped that members of either house of Congress
who propose to make long set speeches during the
remainder of the debate now in progress will mani
fest some llberality in submitting to interruption.
The passage through both branches of Congress
without amendment of the two appropriation
bills being forcgOne conclusion, the professed
and only object in their further discussion Is to
lay before the public the reasons which may be
adduced by either party in justification of its cause
There are stock arguments upon either side i'll
abundance, which apparently convincing in
themselves, but which have been repeated ad nau-
seam. One honorable Congressman speaks to
his constituency and to posterty upon one side of
the question to-day, and makes very pretty
argument as it appears by itself in The Record He
is answered by another gentleman the other side
tomorrow. The speeches do not appear in tho
same Record. They are too long for general read
ing, and as they contain nothing new, they have
not even been listened to by the speak
er's colleagues or the audiences in the CALLER
les. Posterity is, therefore. the only beneficiary.
This process is unspeakably tiresome and profit
less. The need of the hour Is not that the well
arguments should be further repeated. but
that those which conflict should be brought to-
Cether that they might destroy each other III so far
they are not well founded and the truth prevail
Senator Beck's best points would have been swept
away like chaff had he submitted to Interruptions
to-day.
There are seventy speakers already named in the
House, while in the Senate the debate on the Army
bill alone is expected to last three weeks To say
that nothing new can be said, even upon the Army
bill would betray want Of appreciation of the
genius which VIII be called into the debate but
that repetition will be, ii has been, the main
lance ofmany of the speakers is not to be doubted,
and something is certainly due to the galleries and
TO the cause of truth,

A BRITISH EXODUS.
BRITISH wORKMEN DETERMINED TO GO ABROAD
RATHER THAN ACCEPT LOWER WAGES.


A dispatch to The Times from Newcastle states
that number of miners who possessed of q
little means appear determined to permanently
quit the Durham coleries. Immigration agents in
Newcastle aud district are busy sending men to
the United States and the colonies The main tide of
the emigration seems to be toward the mining dis
tricts of the United States. There is also
n considerable migration to British America. At
meeting of the Durham masters at Newcastle to-
day it resolved to again offer a reduction of 10
per cent underground and 7i2 per cent surface
labor and to refer the remainder Of their demands
to arbitration. This offer had been previously re-
jected by the men.

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE IRIBUSE.I
WASHINGTON, April 15.-Mr. Chalmers made
very manly speech to-day when he asked for an
investigation Of his alleged connection with the
Fort Pillow massacre, and unquestionaby
had the sympathy of both sides of the
House. At the same time there was
great force in the point General Garfield
made against allowing the House to 60 into in
quiries in regard to the personal character of its
members so long as the acts alleged do not affect
their characters as Representatives and even
against establishing precedent for the inyestiga-
ton of the military records of Confederate
officers. II every Confederate in Congress, who
during the war was accused of ,unsoldicrly
or cruel conduct is to have the right TO demand vim
dcaton at the hands of Congress little other busi-
ness will be transacted. 1t is very natural that a
hgh-spirlted man, whether he fought on the North
err or Southern side in the war; should smart under
unjust accusations, but Congress is not the place
where such questions can properly be settled.
