from the Nineteenth district of Ohio,
president-elect Garfield's district.
Mr.. Hurd, OF OHIO, the credentials
having been read, objected TO Mr.. Taylor
being sworn in, and moved that his Gre
dentials be referred 10 the committee on
elections
Mr.. Mckinney, of Ohio-On what
grounds?
Mr.. Hurd stated that on May Is, 1878,
law had been passed by the Ohio leg
| islature, creating the Nineteenth district.
| General Garfield had been elected from
| the Nineteenth district as it had been
composed under the law of 1873. In
| 1880 life law of 1878 had been repealed,
| and u new district created. The ground
upon which Taylor rested his claim was
| that the vacancy which had been created
/ by the resignation of Garfield from the
old 10Th district might be filled by an
election held within the territory which
| had formerly composed that district.
This claim lie submitted was without
foundation. GaIfield's resignation could
not occasion vacancy in that district,
| and therefore on the face of the certili-
| cate il was patent that Taylor hadn't
the right to sit in the house.
After some further discussion Mr..
/ Hurd withdrew his objection, and Mr..
Taylor moved that the credentials be
| referred TO the committee on elections.
| Agreed to.
Mr.. Grape introduced resolution de-
claring that the construction of the inter
oceanic canal connecting the Atlantic
aud Pacific oceans 10y means of foreign
capital and under the auspices of a
through charter from "a European gov
eminent is hostile TO the established pol
icy of the United States, in violation of
the Monroe doctrine, and cannot be
sanctioned or assented TO by this govern.
ment He desired to have it referred to
the committee on foreign affairs. But
this motion was opposed 10 by several
members who desired 10 have it sent to
the committee on the inter-Oceanic ship
canal.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, chairman ot
/ the committee on foreign affairs, did MOI
, care to what committee the resolution
went. The foreign affairs committee hat
reported already a resolution on thi:
subject, and the American Republic wa
disgraced because the American con
: gress had not acted upon the report. LIE
9 the house fix some time TO consider tina
report and notify De Lesseps that tn

Mr.. King, of louisiana, chairman q
the inter oceanic committe, moved tina
the resolution be referred to his com
ln;ttee 4 somewhat similar resolutiol
had been reported to the house by tina
committee, and it was to the shame c
: the American people that no action ha
been taken on it.
