The matter now stands that the basis of
representation shall be two delegates for
each senator and two for each member of
congress, and two delegates for each terri
tory and for the District of Columbia.
The committee then took a recess till
1880 p. m.
At the evening session Mr.. Lodge, of
Massachusetts,, moved to reconsider the
vote adopting Logan's substitute. AS he
had not voted with the majority, his right
to move to reconsider was not recognized.
Mr.. Chandler, of New Hampshire, from
the subcommittee, reported the following:
The Republican national convention of
1884 shall consist of four delegates at large
from each state and two delegates from
each congressional district. The delegates
at large shall be chosen by popular dele
gates to state conventions called on not
less than twenty days'published notice, and
held not less than thirty, nor more than
sixty days before the time for the meeting
of the national convention. Republicans
of the various congressional districts shall
have the option of electing their delegates
at separate popular delegate conventions
called on similar notice and
held in districts at any time within twenty
days prior to the meeting of the state con-
ventions, or by the sub divisions of state
conventions into district conventions, and
such delegates shall be chosen in the latter
method if not elected previous to the
meeting. In state conventions all district
delegates shall be accredited by the officers
of such district conventions. Two delegates
shall be allowed from each territory and
from the District of Columbia, similarly
chosen. Notices of contests may be given
to the national committee, accompanied
by full printed statements of the grounds
of the contest, which shall also be made
public, and preference in order OF hearing
and determining contests shall be given by
the convention according to dates of the
reception of such notices and statements
by the national committee.
The report was adopted without dis
cussion.

ventionare to be fxed,be set for the 18th of

Thermal Power of the Breath,

Or. Clark in Louisville Medical Herald.
Being asked few days since by a
friend, to show him how temperature
is obtained, placed the thermometer
under my coat-slceve and breathed up
on it for about five minutes; on TAX
ing it out, was very much surprised
to find it registered 1882. Thinking
the thermometer might be wrong, [
fried it again with the same result
Continuing the experiments, on some
occasions l found the mercury would
rise no higher than 1867 or 1060, and
at other times could not possibly get
it above 1852. One evening on men-
tioning the fact to Prof. Bailey, he, by
wrapping the bulb OF the thermome-
ter in a wooden cloth and breathing on
it as statedFabove, brought the mercu-
" up to 1693e. l have spoken to sew
e.al concerning it, but have as yet re-
oeived no satisfactory explanation.

Bedford presented memorial for the es
Enlistment of railway communication
with Central and South America. Re
ferred.
On motion of Mr.. Brown, Chas. T. Dox-
eymas was sworn as representative from
the Ninth Indiana district to succeed the
late Mr.. Ortiz.
Mr.. Rice, of Massachusetts,, called up
the special order, being the joint resolution
providing for a new mixed commission in
accordance with the treaty of April %,
1866, with Venezuela. The joint resol1-
ton requested the president to open cor
respondence with the government of Ven
ezuela with view to the appointment of a
new commission to sit at Washington and
consider evidence submitted to the former
commission. and directs the moneys now
in charge of the department of state re-
ceived from Venezuela on account of the
awards to be distributed pro rata III pay
ment of the same.
After consuming an hour and a half in
reading the report on MIR. Bice's resolu-
ton, pending discussion, Mr.. Pettibone,
of Tennessee, submitted the unanimous
of the claim of J. L. Game to be admitted
as the delegate from Utah and Mr.. Caine
was sworn IN.
Mr.. Rice then resumed his argument ap-
pealing to the house to pass the joint reso-
luton.
Mr.. Blount thought that congress should
view with care and suspicion the claims of
American citizens against the republics of
South America, instancing the Shipherd
claims.
Mr. Williams said the honor of the
country required that everything of which
Venezuela complained should be investi-
gated. It had been Investigated by the
committee on foreign affairs, and this reso-
luton was the result of that labor.
Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia, made the
constitutional argument against the
power of congress to legislate upon
this question. The joint resolution was
a manifest encroachment upon the treaty
making power, and he protested against
its passage.
The joint resolution then passed.
Mr. O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, presented
the memorial of the tin plate manufactur-
ers of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Missouri, asking for retention of the

AAaA AIAoOAHS ouAOL'
Senator Stewart yesterday admitted that
he suggested to the Republican caucus
that it prepare an ultamum. They did 10
and followed Senator Stewards advice.
What right had either branch of the
Legislature to have an altimatum There
should be no ultimatums. Legislation
means conference. Conference means
argument and discussion. Ultimatums
admit of neither.
Senator Stewart therefore is in the
position of putting his party in the Senate
in the attitude of a refusal to legislate
with the House of Representatives. The
House has no ultimstum. 1t ought to have
none. The only ultimatum any honest
legislator should have is that the oonstitu-
tion shall be obeyed.
Senator Stewart says there shall be no
legislation except as a Republican caucus
shall determine. This position means
anarchy, and it is we'll the people Of
Pennsylvania know to whom they are
indebted for such q condition. Senator
Stewart carries heavy load in the Re
publican ultimatum.
As returning prodigal Senator Stewart
out. Herods Herod and like all converts
goes to the extreme Of partisanship. The
cost of his conciliation with Stalwart rule
is %, 600 day.

The governor at the last moment has

We do not know the reasons which
moved him, sfter mature consideration,
to approve this bill, which we consider
unconstitutional in some of Its features
and i'll conceived in others. 1t is said that
the governors desire to have some fruit
from the extra session induced him to
approve the judicial apportionment,
though we cannot believe that this was
his ruling motive, as it would not he a
sensible idea to take a bad bill rather
than no bill from the extra session as a
means of making it sweet in the nostrils
of the people. We have 80 often declared
and 30 firmly believed, that the extra
session was fully justified by the man

renewed apportionments to he made that
we cannot conceive that Governor Fat
tison, who called 1t, can think that it
needs anything further In the way
of legislation to justify its having been
called. OF course it needs legislation to
make 1t profitable to the people but for
that purpose 1t needs good legislation.
A bad spportionment will not win credit
for those who made 1t. The Legislature
and the governor must be judged and
justified by the quality Of the work they
turn out. Any sort Of work will not do.
