it a success, he had received the cooperation
and indispensable support of his colleagues
(referring to Aid. Grace, Griggs. Rhodes, MIR.
Murray and the other friends OF the enterprise),
and thanks were equally due to all of them.
The speaker then called upon the Hon. j. s..
Prince to address the party.
In response to the invitation, Mr.. Prince said
that while he had once expressed doubts as to
the success of the undertaking he had given up
the old notion and was glad to see the struc-
ture a success. He hoped that it would be a
monument we'll worthy of the enterprise of the
city and an honor to the State.
MIR. Murray then spoke of the contents of
the box which have been fully noted above.
Aid. Allen was recalled and spoke of the
anxiety and labor which had characterized the
preliminary work. He had looked at the old
and dilapidated market house and thought
that as the town had merged into city, it was
about time to erect first class editice COM
mensurate with its growth and future prospects.
In conclusion he hoped that, while the build
ing was subject to scrutiny, Judgment would
be suspended until the edifce was completed,
when all would be satisfied that the work had
been done in business like manner, and the
city had received full dollars worth for their
money.
DR.. Murphy was called upon and rising up
in his buggy he made few pertinent remarks,
which were received with applause, and with
this speech the ceremonies concluded and the
caowd dispersed.

In the House.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Mr. Manning offered
under instructions from the committee on
elections, resolution for an investigation into
the facts relative to the reception by Mr..
Springer of an anonymous letter relating to
the case of Donnelly VS.. Washburn.
Mr. Brown inquired if it was intended to in
vestigate the conduct of somebody who was not
a member of the House, by committee OF the
House and at the expense of the people.
MIR. Manning replied that the resolution was
quite clear. 1t did propose to investigate the
authorship of an anonymous letter which on
It's face purported to have been written in the
interest of a member of the House-whether
written by the contestant on contestee was a
matter which the House ought, of course, to
determine. If written by the man who asked
the seat he is an unworthy man, and no men,
Der would vote for his admission. The reso-
luton was broad. 1t was intended to be So
It was as broad as the merits in the case requir-
ed. He hoped there would be no objection to
the resolution.
Mr.. McLane moved to lay the resolution on
on the table. He did not think it presented a
question of privilege. Rejected, A to 80.
The resolution was then adopted, log to 55.
