HOUSE.

Another Precious Day Wasted-The
Yates Martin Case Discussed and
Fought Over.
The post route bill was reported and
reCOmmltted.
Mr.. Speer, at the expiration OF the
morning hour called up the contested
election case of ! Gates VS.. Martin.
Mr.. Conger inquired whether this was
a question of higher privilege than the
question before the House yesterday.
lie had understood the Chair to decide
when other questions were up that he
could not imagine question OF higher
privilege than the one which in
voved the election OF President
The Speaker replied that the Chair
had not been asked. to recognize any
member upon that question. The gen
tleman in charge OF the resolution was
not pressingit
Mr.. Conger remarked, sarcastically, il
there was need of any urging from his
side of the house he was ready to urge
it.
The election case was then taken up
and Mr.. Speer argred IN favor of the
contestant. The discussion was pro-
traCted.
Mr.. Keiier presented the case of con.
testee Martin, and az the conclusion OF
his speech warned the Democratic party
TIA! if it didn't place the seal Of
disapmoyal upon such practices as
had been resorttd to in this case
the day was coming when it would be
swept from the halls OF Congress by the
American people. Mr.. Russell also
warned the Democratic party that 1t
the reasOnings of the Committee on
Elections were adopted, some fifteen or
twenty men from the South in the next
Congress wOuld walk some morning
and give place to men who had been
counted in whether elected or not.
A DemUcrLt-We will see about that.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Russell :
speech. Mr.. Springer demanded the pre-
vious question, and the Republicans re-
iusing to vote, the House was LETT with
ont quorum. Adjourned.

Democrats to be Cheated Out of Their
Seats in Congress-The First Move,
WASHINGTON, January T.-The Re-
publ!cans are evidently determined to
make a wholesale raid on the Democrat
ic members of the next Congress, es-
pecially irem the South, in order that
they may have larger majority than
the returns give them. In number OF
ways they are endeavoring to create a
public sentiment against certain Demo-
Gratis and in favor OF their Republican
contestants. They are after seats, and
they apparently propose to have them,
no matter what may be their rights in
the matter. One Of the most glaring
cases Of dishonest electioneering lodges
is that OF Congressman Richardson, Of
South Carolina, whose seat is to be con-
tested by negro named Lee. Tuesdays
Washington Republican published dis
patch from Warren X. Marshall, as.
sistant United States Attorney for
South Carolina, stating as follows:
I'VE succeeded yesterday in con-
victing w. l.. Webb, who stuffed TWEEN
ty tissue ballots for Congressman Rich.
ardson into the box at Sampitt poll,
Georgetown county, at the recent elec-
ton" The fact is that Webb is a Re-
publican, and that the tissue ballots were
headed with the names of Garfield and
Arthur, and that all the names on the
ticket were Republican, except Richard
sons. The explanation OF his name be-
ing there Is very simple. Lee, his oppo-
nent, was man OF no character, and
many OF the Republicans were opposed
to him. The tissue ballots were printed
Tor the purpose of carrying South Caro-
lima for Garfield, and as they were to be
voted by persons opposed to Lee, they
were printed with Richardson's name
on them. Now the Republican mana
gers see an opportunity to use their own
fraudulent ballots for the purpose of
unseating a Democrat and seating Re-
publican, and an Assistant United States
Attorney lends himself to the scheme
by sendinga lying dispatch to the coun-
try, stating that he has convicted a
Democrat for stuffing ballot box with
Democratic votes.

TO hold formal reception, but owing TO
the Senator's physical condition it was
thought best to give it at his

people, without regard to political pre-.
dileCtions, is immense. 1t is one OF the
grandest demonstrations ever witnessed
in this city. The two city bands are

lighted W with fireworks.

pirate manner. Speeches were also made

becoming very doubtful whether Ma

years longer reign among the flesh pots.
