Il
| WASHINGTON, April 27.-Towpsend (Ohio)
submitted conference report on the bill to
promote the efficiency of the life saving SER
vice, and encourage the saving of life from
ship wreck. The conference report recon.
mends the adoption of the senate amendment
adding the pensioning feature to the bill.
Adopted.
| The house resumed the consideration of the
contested election case of Lynch vs. Chalmers.
Mr.. Lynch, the contestant, was accorded
the floor, and as he rose to speak at the desk
formerly occupied by Garfield, he was greeted
with some applause from the galleries. In
concluding his argument, he said he regretted
to be compelled to say it seemed to be the
settled determination of the Bourbon party at
the south, that if 1t could not destroy the gov
eminent in one way 1t would in another; for it
was an incOntrOvertible and indisputable fact
that the sanctity and purity Of the ballot was
the chief pillar of our government structure:
Destroy that pillar and the structure must
necessarily fall. He spoke not in behalf of
his party, but III behalf of his country.
Chalmers (Miss.), the contestee, followed.
| Referring to the speech of Lynch, he asserted
that it was but a repetition of what had been
| said time and time and again by the contestant
and his co-conspirators, who had, through
the public press OF the country, endeavored to
destroy the reputation Of the white people of
Mississippi.
In conclusion he said: eff reason and shame
lave fled to british beasts, If sacrifice OF
Democrats is to be made and am to be the
first victim, then I say to you, go ahead
you have the power. II you choose to exer.
else 1t you will regret 1t more than l."
You may drive me from my seat by force
and place another in it. Whenever you look
at him you will be reminded OF this days ont
rage, and il conscience be not cankered In
your breast, In the stiffness of night, 1t will
haunt you with the recollection that truth,
justice and law were inundated and that you
were the high priests that of1ciatedlat the un-
holy sacrifice. (Applanse on the Democratic
Demott, Qnd.) made an argument In favor
side
of Lynch and the matter went over till to-
morrow.

amble and resolution which was adopted:
