Eliminating Motions from the Journal
What the Democrats Win Do-Those
Garfield Funeral Bills Again.
THE HARpERs FERRY PROPERTY.
Special Dispatch 10 ne Reolar.


WASHINGTON, May 30. Things are get.
ting warmed up. To-day, after the journal
Of the House had been read, Springer, OF
Illinois, called attention 10 the fact that
several motions made by him on yesterday,
did not appear on the record, nor did the
appeal which he had made from the Speak
er's decision, and moved that the record
be corrected, claiming that the journal
should show correctly and truthfully, the
record Of the proceedings, even though
they condemned the man who sat in the
Speakers chair. This raised young war,
and dozens of members were on their feet,
with .ssgiieG GAGefa arrest but be stood his
ground and finished his remarks, although
a ludicrous tone was given to the matter
by Humphreys, a nervous little man, in
sisting that Springer should sit down or be
forced to, and adding: 81 can do it my
self" Springer turned round and
eyeing the excited individual, remarked:
1T would take larger pattern OF man
than you to force me down." and went on
with his remarks.
Knott then took the roor and made
clear, logical and unsnswerable argument
in favor of the right of member TO have
his motions spread upon the record, after
which Springer's motion was submitted to
avote and defeated.
Miller then commenced his speech on
the Mackey-O Connor case, when Black
burn called attention to the fact that the
journal had not been approved and de-
manded the yeas and nayes, and they were
taken, when Miller proceeded with bis
speech.
The Democratic members OF the House
have decided to submit a resolution the
first opportunity, which will recite the &C.
ton of the Speaker in refusing to entertain
springer's appeal from his (the SPeaker's)
decision, yesterday, and declare in effect
that in the judgment of the minority the
chair ruled arbitrarily, and in 50 doing
violated, not only the rules of the House
of Representatives, but the Constitution OF
the United States. u.

PErrsBr RGH, May 0.-The Leader IS
getting up boom for Hancock for Cover

ter and several interviews it says editorially
that while at first glance it would look as
though Hancock's acceptance OF such 3
nomination would be out of the question.
1t would be seen that, not only is it un-
likely that the candidate of great party
for the Presidency only two years agovouid
stoop to accept guberaatorial nomination,
but that General Hancock would be very
foolish to throw up life position OF honor
and good pay in the military ser
vice for four years seat with compare.
lively small pay and not great
deal of honor in aGovernor's chair. Forithe
first, however, precedent would be found
in Gen. Mcclellan, who, after being Presi,
Dental nominee, ran for and was elected
Governor of New Jersey. As to the latter,
there would possibly be more in il for Gen.
Hancock than appears on the surface. Han
cock is, without much doubt, the strongest
man that the Democrats could put
up for Governor st the pres,
ent time. His soldier record
would take the wind out OF Beavers and
Stewards sails-there would be no military
issue in the campaign, as Gen. Beaver $

WASHINGTON, May 3O.-The solicitor OF
the treasury in his report to Secretary Fol-
ger in reference to the government prop
erty at Harper's Ferry with view to its
sale or lease, gives complete history OF
the property and its advantages as a manu-
featuring site, but makes no recommenda-
ton as to its disposition. A local company,
represented by c. n. Dutton, offers to lease
the property for ninety-nine years at an
annual rental of $4,000, and the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
panv has made an informal
offer, TO start the property at $4,000. These
are the only pending propositions for the
property, and the solicitor does not favor
the acceptance of either. He says that the
property, both on the Potomac and the
Shenandoah rivers, has been in disuse
and subjected to exposure and deteriors-
ton for over twenty years, and as there is
no appropriation or means fer its protec-
ton, it must necessarily continue to deter
iorate the longer its disposition is delayed.

CLEVELAND, May 20.-The news that the

pointed and uncertain what course to pur'
sue, but manifest disposition to endeavor
to secure legislation OF similar or more
stringent nature, which will stand in court.
The preponderance of sentiment IN the
community seems to be satisfactory, Tor
both liberal and ultra-temperancee elements
were displeased with the law.
The effect Of the decision on political
parties is the topic of lively dispute.

Special Dispotea 10 the Register.
COLUMBUS, May 3O.-The decision of the
Supreme Court upon the Pond Liquor Law
passed by the last legislature, which has
created SC much feeling throughout the
State, was delivered this morning, the court
holding it to be unconstitutional and void.
The case has attracted more attention,
perhaps, than any one which has been ar
gued before the court for twenty years The
counsel on either side embraced the best le-
gal talent OF the State, the attorney general
being assisted by Judge West, former
member of the Supreme Bench, and later
the Republican candida ''
ana Thos. MacDougal, OF Cincinnati, While
Judge George Hoadley, the leader OF the
Cincinnati bar, and others about equally
noted in the profession, appeared in OPP
position. The argument was both able
and elaborate, and so nicely balanced did
the case appear to outsiders, that rumor
of a decision either way was readily be-
lieved.
The point at issue, and upon which
the Court held the law uncon-
stitutionalis: That the Pond law, requir-
ing as it does, a tax as prerequisit to
engaging in selling liquors, is license law,
which is expressly prohibited by the State
Constitution.
Of the five Judges who constitute the
Court, four concur in the opinion that the
law is unconstitutional, and Judge John
son, the fifth member, dissents.
The effect of the decision will be to rele'
gate the liquor traffic to its former condi-
ton, and will enable all those who paid the
tax under protest to recover the same.
Those who did not do so, it is thought, lose
the amount advanced. NJ.
