Meeting Of Congress-, Monday.

The Republicans were permitted
to organize the lower House of Con
gress last Monday without opposi-
ton from the Democrats. Keifer
received one hundred and forty
eight votes for Speaker, Randall
one hundred and twenty-nine, Ford
eight. Mcpherson was elected Clerk.
The session was prolonged so late
that the Presidents message was
not read. The committees will not
be completed for several days. Many.
objections were made to swearing in
some of the Democratic members,
but when the Democrats turned the
tables and objected to the admis-
sion of some Republicans, all objec-
tons were withdrawn and members
having prima facic rights to
seats were admitted. Several anus.
ing and mirth-provking scenes oc-
Cured. Two are reported by the
telegraph as follows:

mented With fashionable suit, close
cropped hair and gold eye glasses
fastened to the lapel of his coat,

see-made a laughing stock of him.
self. When Gen. Chalmers present
ed himself to be sworn in Mr..
Moore, instead of merely saying 81
object made aspread eagle speech,
protesting in the name of humanity,
law and justice and of the Amer
lean people, against it. Afterward,
when Moore's turn came, Bragg, of
Wisconsin, solemnly protested in
the name of humanity and of Casey
Young, Moore's predecessor, against
Moore's being sworn in. Moore
returned to his seat crestfallen
mortified, while the Democrats and
Republicans joined the immense
audience in uncomfortable laughter.
When King objected to swearn g
in Van Vorhls, Of New York, the
latter lost his temper, and walking
toward King, saidithat he had object
ed to him because he believed the
people of Louisiana prevented fair
elections by fraud and bulldozlng
honest voters, and he meant to do
al he could to put stop to it. Gen.
King told the New Yorker that he
was liar and cur, and would not
permit remarks of that kind to be
made to him. Van Norhis said he
thought he was speaking to a gen
tleman, King replied. "You are,
sir, but l am speaking to dog. l
will not allow you to SANDER my
constituents to my face" Van Vor-
his looked savagely at King and
muttered something inaudible as a
member stepped between them, and
Van Vorhis walked away and after
ward withdrew his objections to
Kings being sworn in. King then
withdrew his objection to Van Vor
his.

A Rem arkab1e COMM

w hoh1>HfoN3 ISts ftHs
A remarkable communication was
telegraphed from this city some
time ago to the Boston Herald and
was published by that journal over
its correspondents own initials. 1t
would have attracted little attention
here, perhaps, but for the fact that
it was reproduced in the National
Republican a day or two later. This
has made it a subject of general
comment. The communication in
question arraigns the dead president
for his conduct towards Messrs.
Conkling and Platt, justifies the
course pursued by those gentlemen
in resigniLg, and practically asserts
that President Garfield was assassi-
mated because he appointcd Mr.
Blame to be Secretary of State,
charging that the latter inspired and
procured Robertson's appointment
as collector of the port of New York.
Indeed, the writer declares in so
many words, that with "safer and
wiser counsels (than Mr.. Blaine's. }
President Garfield would have been
alive and in the executive mansion
TO day"
1t is IL subject Of general comment
among members of congress who
hayc arrived that a responsible
Washington correspondent should
have written such letter. and that
the Boston Herald should have
printed it; but it is still more sur
prising that paper which aspires
to be understood as speaking for
President Arthur's administration
should gleefully copy an article
which distinctly attributes Garfield's
murder to his action in connection
with the New York appointments.
1t was generally supposed that
above all things this was the impress
sion which every friend Of the pres
ent administration desired to Grad
icate. Mr.. Scoville is trying to pro-
cure Guitteau's acquittal on the
ground that he was insane. The
Washington correspondent of the
Herald and Gorham would appa-
rently take the shorter cut of justi-
fable homicide, because President
Garfield dared to appoint Mr.. Blaine
Secretary of S ate and Mr.. Robert
son collector of the port Of New
York.

Senator Davis Views.

Senator Davis was summoned az
a witness in the Guiteau case. He
knew nothing about the prisoner
but gave very freely his views about
the two political parties. He was
questioned and answered as follows:
Question--From your knowledge
of the. political difficulties Which
grew up last winter and spring, and
from your knowledge of the Ameri~
can people, what, in your opinion,
was the probability of their diff
culties disrupting and destroying
the Republican party?
Answer-That is far-reachino
question. The Republican party
has not been destroyed, and yet
there have been breaches in it.
There is only one way in which the
Republican party can be destroyed.
Question-In what way is that
Answer--Disruption Of the Dem
0cratic party would destroy it,
Laughter
Question--Is it your honest opin-
ion that the difficulties between
branches or factions of the Repub-
lican party have been OF are in dan.
ger of absolutely disrupting the Re-
publican party?
Answer-That is a mere matter of
opinion. l cannot understand this
line of examination. The Republi
cen party is an extraordinary organ
ization. l do not believe it will die
until the Democratic party is dead.
Laughter.
Question-What is your opinion
on this poitt. whether the success of
the Democratic party at this time,
or at the next presidential election
would lmperil the existence of the
republic.
Answer do not think that the
success of any political parry would
imperil the republic. 1 do not be-
lieve that az all.
Question-Do you believe that
the success of the Democratic par
ty would tend in any degree to
bying on another civil war?
Answer-No; do not. l think
that the Southern people are the
last people in the world to desire to
go into any war. If there he any
war it will come from somewhere
else than the South.

IFS OBJECT.
/. The object of this Association is to al
ford pecuniary aid to young men when they
assume the responsibilities Of married life, a
time when, above all others, they generally
need such aid and, subsidiary to this, its
purpose is to promote industry, economy
and morality.
CHARTERED.
2. 1t is chartered for ninety-nne years
under the laws of the State OF Louisiana,
and has perpetual succession. Its officers
and directors are prominent and well known
citizens whose high character and eminent
standing in both business and social circles,
is an ample guarantee of the good faith
and fairness with which the affairs of the
Association will be conducted, and they are
determined that it shall be a benefactor to
society. Its officers are bonded.
THE PLAN.
8. 1t differs from other mutual insurance
organizations chiefly in this: The policies
are made payable upon the marriage OF a
member, instead OF upon his death; and, in
order to place the benefit of the Association
within easy reach of all worthy young men,
it is divided into three classes, and upon
the marriage of a member all the others
contribute to the payment of his policy,
each one according to his class
CLASS NO. ONE.
4. In class No. l the minimum policy is
$500. and the maximum policy $1,000. Ii a
member who holds policy in this class
marries at any time after the expiration OF
six months from the time he became a
member, his policy will aggregate so per
month for every month of his membership
until it reaches its maximum, $1,000, when
its growth will cease. But if he marries
within "a months, his policy will amount
to $50 per month from the time he became
member to the time of his marriage, when
he will cease to be a member OF the Associa-
ton.
5. The following tabular statement will
show how the plan works in this class:

piration of six months from the

endorsing the declarations of the

being to put Democratic members
on record in favor of the plank in

which, if it did not prevent the
complimentary nomination Of Speak

The resolution was supported by
