Donnelly VS.. Washburn.
Especial to the Courier Journal. !

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The vote in the
House Elections committee to day, declar-
ing the seat now occupied by Mr.. Washburn
to be vacant, excites some comment, as II
was not expected. Two votes were taken in
the committee to-day, the first on the ma
jority resolution which declares that Wash
burn was not elected, and is not entitled to
a seat in this House. This was carried by q
majority of one, as follows:
Yeas-Messrs. Weaver (Greenbacker), Phis-
ter, sawyer, Armfield, Coleric and Manning
Demo sraus).
Nays-Messrs. Keller, Overton, Field and
Caikins CRepu> ncans), and Speer Democrat
Mr. Springer on this vote was paired with
Mr.. Clarke. of New Jersey, who, like Mr..
Speer, would have voted to seat Washburn.
Mr. Beltzhoover Dem was paired with Mr.
Camp (Rep.l
The scond vote was on the resolution de-
claring Donnelly entitled to q seat, and this
was defeated by vote of eight to four, as
follows:
Yeas-Messrs. Sawyer, Armfield, Colerick
and Manning.
Nays-Messrs. Overton, Weaver, Field, CaIk-
ins, Keller, Phister, Speer and Springer.
A Democratic member of the committee
said tonight that by the principles OF the
election law, bribery proven on q party to q
contract makes him ineligible, and subjects
him to criminal prosecutions; besides, where
the elecLOn nds Oeeu procured Dy 1rauu, the
number of ballots so affected are to be de-
Quoted, and il they are numerous enough to
give the contestant majority, the latter is
elected. Applying this rule to the present
case, Donnelly should be entitled to the
seat. The committee will report the case to
the House, when there will be both ma
jority and q minority report and it may be
that there will be third report, in which
case the final disposition of the question
becomes problematical.
This vote is q curious commentary on the
talk which has been going the rounds of the
press that the attempt to Gust Washburn was
for the purpose OF stealing his seat for a
Democrat. Washburn's successor Is for the
people of his district to choose, and may be
q Republican yet. There Is a general feeling.
even extending to some Republicans. that
Washburn is really guilty OF bribery. and
has been justly dealt with by the commit
tee.

The CONGREGATIONAL Amendments

To the Editor Of the Sentinel:
SIR-Suppose the total number of votes
polled to-day in this State was 400 600; that
only $4,000 persons voted for and against
the amendments; say 1se.0 yes, and no.
600 no. Are the amendments adopted un-
der the law and constitution? 1t seems TO
me to be plain question, and the answer is
no! 1t will be seen that the law does not
say that q proposed amendment is to be
deemed adopted If there are more persons
voting yes than those voting no. ut SAYS
that il a majority of electors shall thus
ratify any of said amendments the same
shall be q part of the constitution"
Our State constitution, in regard to amend
ments, provides that they shall be submitted
to the electors of the State, and if a ma
jorlty of the said electors shall ratify
the same, they become part
of the constitution. How many electors
have we in Indiana to-dsy2 Say 400 coo
at least for that many voted for trustee.
Then it will take POI, 600 affirmative votes to
ratify an amendment.
Possibly. if the amendments had been
submitted to a special election, for that pur-
pose and no other, the number of votes cast
at such an election, however light the vote
might be, would be decided by the courts to
be in legal sense the whole number of
electors IN the State. But this vote on the
amendments is had at the re gular April cleo
ton for township officers, and the total
number of votes east for such officers is to be
taken as the whole number of electors in
the State, and no one of the amendments is
adopted unless it is voted for by a majority
OF all the voters at the township election.
Suppose, In a total vote OF 400 000, there are
100 600 yes votes and none mo-" main
tain that the amendment is not adopted,
because 100, 900 is not ma Ority OF 400, 600
the whole number OF electors

If the Democratic party Is TO win victory
next November there must be compromise
harmony and good feeling in April. To this q
cool and correct appreciation of the merits
and the defects OF the party leaders under
whom the existing dissension has come to pass
is absolutely essential. The party must judge
such leaders for itself and not take the esti-
mates set on them by their personal follow
ing.-New YorK World.
The Sentinel, for months past, has EN-.
phasized the importance of Democratic har
mony, and the disappearance of factions
and factionists. All that is necessary for the
Democratic party to secure victory is har-

More Importations.

To the Editor OF the Sentinel:
SIR-Some of the leaders of the Rep0bli-
can party are now making arrangements to
import about 100 North Carolina niggers
into our county. One of the leaders ap-
preached a Republican farmer yesterday,
and wanted him to take three of them. The
farmer wanted time to study and consult his
wife; when the leader remarked, no; agree
to take them now. as we want them to gaiL 8
residence; and l want you also to zee Mr.
-, and see how many he can take. So
desperate are they becoming that they are
not only willing to turn off every white
man on the farms, but want even to stock
our mines with them.

FALSE AND TRUE.
We extract from DIR. Railways Treatise on
Disease and Its Cure, as follows:
LIST OF DISEASES CURED BY

Chronic Skin Diseases Carries OF the Bone
Humors in the Blood, Scrofulous Diseases, Bad

Venereal, Fever Sores, Chronic or Old Ulcers,

Body, P1mples and Blotches, Tumors, Dyspep-
STA, Kidney and Bladder Diseases Chronic
Rheumatism and Gout, Consumption, Gravel
and Calculous Deposits, and varieties of the
above complaints to which sometimes are
given specious names.
We assert that there is no known remedy
that possesses the curative power over these
diseases that Railways Resolvent furnishes.

IT is really very amusing to read all the
talk about Democratic sspirants for the

thoroughly-to get rid of factions and
solidify. This done. and victory is certain.
