HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The credenti
of E. b. Taylor, successor to E. N. Farfie
were objected to by Hurd, who stated that h
grounds were irregularity OF election OH ac-
count OF a change in the boundaries of the
18th district. Taylor was elected by Gar
fields old district after the limits of the dis
trict had been changed. Tayior's claim that
he was duly elected from the original district
was unsupported by precedent. The whole
trouble was with the Ohio legislature, which
passed a law whereby $4,000 people would
have Is representatives in the neXt congress,
while 100000 would Gully have five, without
providing for vacancies.
McIndiey held that if there was any force
in Hurd's argument, Taylor had priRaa .taciG
right to the seat, and the case should 60 to
the committee OH elections.
After further discussion Hurd withdrew his
objection and Taylor qualified, when the ere
dentiais were referred to the committee on
elections.
Grape introduced a resolution that the con-
struction of the inter-oceanic canal connect
ing the states of the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans by means of foreign capital, underline
auspices of or through a charter from any
European government, Is hostile to the estab-
lished policy of the United States, and is in
violation of the spirit and declaration of the
Monroe doctrine, and can not be sanctioned
or assented to by this government; that the
United States will assert and maintain such
control and such provision over any inter-
oceanic canal as may be necessary to protect
its natural interest and means of defense, its
unity and safety, and to advance the prosper
ity and augment the commerce Of the Attain
tic and Pacific states of the union. He de-

foreign affairs, did not much care what COM
mittee the resolution went TO. The foreign
affairs committee had reported already on the
subject, and the American republic was dis
graced because the American congress had
not acted on that report. Let the house NIX
some time to consider that report and notify
DeLesseps that the American people are still
alive.
! King (Louislana), chairman of the inter-
oceanic canal committee, moved that the res
olution be referred to his committee, and
argued that it was the proper committee to
which to send it. He now held that report
in his hand, and if permission were granted
would. now put it OF his passage.
This being out of order a vote was taken
on the finance bill, and the house by a vote OF
"a to Ga referred the resolution to the foreign
affairs committee.

Bycknell then called up the electoral count
resolution and demanded the previous ques-
ton. The republicans refusing to vote, the
house was left without a quorum. Roll call
was ordered. On its conclusion, Bycknel
said it was evident the house was in no bet
ter mind since the debate than before 1t, and
consequently would not now press the resol-
ution, but would bring it forward i'm January,
as soon as he could find AT democrats. On

The Telegram says the assertion Of
the STATESMAN that the Telegram, in its
opposition to Governor Roberts, does
not reflect the ''sober sentiment" Of
Harris county, is untrue. On the other
hand, the Ass, in noticing the same
assertion of the STATESMAN, says:

four to one. No man who win declare

THE "YARB.TEA, TREATMENT

The Galveston Neus has been hunt
ing all through dictionaries and ency-
clopedias for definition to be applied
to the policies of Governor Roberts;
and outside of them it stumbles across
"yarb-tes, and it is supremely happy,
and uses it nineteen times il one arti-
Gle. 1t says: 1.-THE Governor has been
trying 'yarb-tea' for some time on the
State of Texas" Again the Neans says:
He has dosed the state with unlimit-
ed quantities of an infusion about as
weak IS the alleged defenses which
some of his friends have made of his
record on the school question:" and
thus from point TO point it delights it.
self with stale criticisms. espe-
cially stale when the same ''yarb-
tea" is dlshed up to suit nineteen
tastes. In this article the Mes0s
starts off to show that the Governor
has no right or reason to express him
self upon matters of quarantine, and
when the question is summed up it may
be seen that the Neaos only enunciates
the Galveston proposition, that the
quarantine affairs of the entire state
shall be left to the consideration and
determination of the merchants ex-
change of the Island City. The law
has made the Governor the most inn
portant factor in the quarantine ma
chinery of the state, ana he is held by
law ana by public opinion directly re-
sponsible for its management. Were
Governor Roberts man after
the Nslcs' own heart, weak and
vascillating. and Irresponsible, and
probably corruptible, he would no doubt
secure the warmest approval of the pa
per in all things. Unlike Grant, he
has thought for himself, and has done
what he believed to be for the best IN
terests OF the state and its people, and
unlike Grant he has never given him
self over to any ring for the division of
spoils, and hence the Neacs has seen ig-
norance and incompetence in the acts
of our Governor, while it saw in the
would-be Cesar attributes almost di-
vine. 1t is useless to notice definitely
any Of the studied filings OF the Nsrs,
directed towards the Governor
and his supporters. The Neios is new

always led by interested motives, and
thereforeitis unnecessary to spply Iea-
son to its utterances. While the GAL

erts, then in Galveston, and it was

THE TRLKPHONE TURNED
PREACHER.

The Telephone calls on many Demo-
cratic papers, some fifty in all 1t says.
with the Tele0ram in the lead, to know
what they are going to do in August,
when o. IL. Roberts will most probs-
bly, be nominated for governor. 1t
says these papers have wsaed war, not
against the state administration, but
against o. n. Roberts, with bitter
ness unparalleled, and, continues the
Telephone, "a thousand times In q thou
sand different ways these journals, with
the Telegram, leading the van, have
preached to the people-of Texas the
misfortune of having such q man as
Roberts for governor" How consist
ency is gong TO tolerate radical changes,
In support of this very man in the fu-
ture, is difficult problem for solution.
Again the Telephone says, "And clear
ly, TOO, if they do not support him,
they will ba set down as suspicious
characters in tue Democratic camp aud
feel the party lash. they cannot affect
silence or indifference concerning the
issue" Clearly the Telephone Is very
proper paper to preach to these
fifty other papers. Not long ago
it was about whore the Telegram
now is, doing a deal of person
al leading against o. NJ. Roberts,
but it saw the political clouds of Au-
gust lowering over it's devoted head,
and its political editor" so it an
nounced "retired, "snd there was a COM
plete absence for weeks OF political ut
tersnces In the Telephone touching state
affairs. With reviewing political life
it places itself in line to support Gov
ernor Roberts or any other candidate,
when without the retirement it could
not have done so. Therefore, taking
the preacher as proper example for the
flock, which is good logic except In
Plymoth church and some others like
it, the STATESMAN would advise these
fifty papers to retire political editors,
and put themselves In line for change.
The course of the papers supporting
Governor Roberts has been very differ.
ent from these opposing him. They
have not bent their energies to
wards uncompromising complica-
tons. They have endorsed the sd-
ministration of Governor Roberts,
but at the same time, while they have
also regarded him as the proper man
for the coming Democratic convention
to nominate, they have recognized the
worth of other men, and should Gov
ernor Roberts be defeated, which we
think hardly probable, these papers,
more than hundred in all, would be
found ready to support the party nomi-
nee, whoever he msy be. The STATES
MAN has endorsed Governor Roberts
official acts, and it regards him as the
proper person to whom should be en-
trusted tie administration of the state
government In 1881 and 1882. but its
course has been IN this direction alone,
not in decrying the character of his
opponents, and should he be defeated
for the nomination, the STATEsMAN can
give earnest and conscientious support
to Major Sayers, or to Col. Lang, or to
any dark horse that may move success.

that PLATFORM.

A good deal of space is devoted, to-
day, to the Republican platform, adopt
ed by the Chicago convention. Its
author was Mr.. Pierrepont, of New
York. 1t ls, In q great degree, an
empty piece of brsgadocio, in which a
great deal is claimed for the Republi-
can party, which does not belong to it.
It boasts of the party having achiey-
ed the present prosperity of the coun-
try, when it is known that this is due
to revival of trade, and to confidence
in commercial circles in both Europe
and America. If legislation had any
thing to do with the altered condition
of monetary affairs in this country the
fact could more readily be claimed as
credit to the Democratic party, which
has reduced expenditures of govern
ment, and has certainly instituted re-
forms in the revenue service, even
sginst the work of hostile president.
This platform claims, too, that the Re.
publican party alone has the credit Of
emanclpating 1000, 900 blacks, and
leaves no credit to such Northern Dem
ocrats as Gen. Hancock, who fought
the South most bitterly to the last. and
without whose aid the war would not
have ended as 1t did, and whose valor,
as much as that of Grant or Sherman
or Sheridan, achieved freedom for the
blacks. But we do not propose to con-
tend with the Republicans for the
honor of African emancipation. They
are welcome to it, and we only speak
of this to show the character of their
declarations. The platform illustrates,
from beginning to end, the cheek and
shan of the party. Even the New
York 7Imes Gntensely Republican, says
of it that it contains some truths
ssfeebIy stated,p and that it carries
conviction to none and 'slessens the
force of what there is in 1t that may be
true" We print the platform in full,
because we nften expect TO refer to il.

THE Henderson Times is an earnest
supporter of Governor Roberts. 1t in
s,sts that quotations of our bonds in

fact that the great State of Texas has
an antedeluvian governor whose crotch
cts upon the public free school ques-
tion, the iOancial question, the immi-
gration question, etc., operate as a stay
upon the wheels of progress. The
Governors policy has specious ap-
pesrsnoe to the guileless people, says
the Times, however much the profess
sionsl politicians may be disturbed by it.
