4 Rule THAT Favers 1,obbyists.

NEW YORK, March 9.-The Herald's WASH
ington dispatch says: "The new rules for the
House of Representatives went into operation
to-day, and one of them proves to have been
made very clearly in the interest of lobbyists,
because it not only grants to certain class of
this profession, those who are ex-members of
Congress; the fullest rights to the floor, but to
disable the press from interfering with these
favored lobbyists it vigorously excludes all
members of the press, not merely from the
floor, but from the large room which has of
late been fitted up at considerable expense
back of the hall for the use of members as a
lounging and smoking room. Thus the Demo-
cratic members of the House have contrived
by an ingenious and apparently harmless rule
to pave the way for all kinds of lobbyists and
jobbing, and at the same time to thoroughly
cripple the press in its efforts to discover the
tricks of lobbyists, or get intelligent and salts
factory information concerning the business
of the House,
The Porter Relief Bill
The Republican senators held caucus to-
day and agreed to continuance of the debate

Erred.

AuGtsrA, Mar. 9.--On the 4th of March the
committee on investigating the count by an
unanimous vote sent the following letter to
Governor Garcelon and each of his Executive
Council for 1879:
AUGUSTA, March 4, $780,
Sir,-I am directed by unanimous vote of
the committee on investigation into election
returns and expenditures and appropriations
of public moneys to inform you that the COM
mittee has investigated into and taken testi-
mony upon the subject matter committed to it
by the Legislature, including the acts of the
Governor and Council upon said election re-
turns and the appropriation of public moneys
under their control, and that an opportunity
will be offered for you to appear before said
committee on Monday, the eighth day of
March instant, at the Capital in Augusta, to
tiers before said committee. Parties appearing
before the committee will be allowed the usual
fees for travel and attendance.
Very respectfully yours,
GEORGE ID. BIsBEE,
Clerk of the Committee
A copy of this letter was mailed FRIDAY
morning last to each member of the old
Council, with the exception of Mr.. Parker.
who lives in Aroostook, and he was tele-
graphed.
The committee had session Monday after-
noon and evening, and as Governor Garcelon
and Council did not appear in person. or send
any response to the letter, the committee voted
that summons be issued at once requiring the
presence of Governor Garcelon before the
committee on Wednesday evening at O'Clock.
The document was sent this morning to Thos.
Little6eld, sheriff of Androscoggin county,
who will serve it on Governor Garcelon.
Charles L. Woodward, clerk of Perkins
plantation, appeared before the committee this
afternoon and was shown the return for sena
tors. He knew the handwriting of the select
men. He had filed in the heading, but the
body of the return was made out by one of the
selectmen. He testified that the words and
figures "Whole number of ballots 27'' was not
in his handwriting, but must have been writ
ten in after reaching Augusta. The return
gave George R. Fernald (Republican) 10
votes Rodolphus p. Thompson Democrat) IA
| majority. According to the rule established
| by the Governor and Council the return would
have been thrown out had the blank not been
filled in. The county was very close and was
carried by the Republicans by five majority.
John Haley, clerk OF Rangely, brought his
records, showing that he had recorded Rodol.
plus P. Thompson's name with an extra
thus "Roldolphus." The return conformod
to the record. The return is correct and Mr.
Haley says it is the original return.

The Fall River Spinners.

FALL RIVER, March 9.-At meeting of the
spinners this evening the ten per cent advance
by manufacturers was considered. A resolu-
ton was adopted that while they admit the
generous spirit of the employers they feel that
the manner in which the advance is.about to
be restored is far from being satisfactory as
they would rather have it at the rate of prices
they were paid when the two first ten per cent
reductions were made. 1t was voted that it be
left in the hands of committee to adopt the
best steps to procure meeting between the
Board of Trade and themselves, to see il they
can settle the differences. 1t was voted to
send 800 to the Quincy Granite Association
and to solicit in all the mills for the same.
