THE NEW HOUSE OF REPRESENTA-
TIXES.

-
Mr.. McPherson's List Made Up-'rhoro Are
Two vacancics-One from Mississippi
and One from Virginia.
The clerk Of tho house of representatives
has completed an unofficial but perfect roll
of the now house. There are two vacancies
in tho list-one each from Mississippi and
and Virginia.
Mr.. Manning, who received tho certificate
for the second Mississippi district, has not
filed his certificate with the clerk, and it is
unoflcially stated that he will not do 80 nor
claim any benefits from its possession unless
the house shall act adversely upon the claim
of Mr.. CHAIN ers to the seat. Mr.. Chalmers
has filed with the clerk afiidavits and certif-
Gates of officials designed to prove that by
reason of clerical error the vote Of Tate
county cast for himself was recorded as hav-
ing been cast for J. r. Chambliss. Among the
papers is the statement of the official who
made the error acknowledging that fact un-
der oath
The Virginia vacancy is caused by the
resignation of John Paul, who has been ap-
pointed to dudgeship. This seat was con-
tested by O'Ferrall, the democratic opponent
of Mr.. Paul. and the vacancy, it is under
stood, is not to be filled until the house shall
have acted upon O'Ferralrs claims.
With the election OF Mr.. McPherson'S sue
ccssor as clerk of the house of representa-
tives, that gentleman will have completed an
incumbency of the office covering period OF
fourteen years He was clerk of six success
sive congresses, and then after an intermis'
sion of six years was reelected at the begin
ming of the forty-seventh congress. The
longest term of service of any of Mr.
McPhcrson's predecessors was that of Matthew
st. Clair Clark, of Pennsylvania, who held thu

length of service was little moro than thir-
teen years.

TO SUPPRESS PoLYGAMY.
The Joint Resolution Which Will BE Of
fered by Gen. Roxecrans.

Gen. Rosecrans, member of congress elect
from the San Francisco district, has prepared
the following measure, which he will intro
duce in the house of representatives at the
earliest possible opportunity after its organi-
zation:
A JOINT RESOLUTION proposing an amendment
to the constitution of the United States prohibit
WRercas, In pursuance of our duty to guard the
development of TINT larger and more rational
liberty for every unit of society and that higher
civilization which consists In tho domination OF
reason and justice over the passions, by needful
constitutional amendments and provisions, we
have forever prohibited such things as reason aud
experience have shown to be hostile or impeding
to such development, and among them the slave
trade, and even slavery itself; and
Whereas polygamy, condemned for its contra
grading influence on the character of the female
sex, its brutalizing effects on the male and its
general repugnance 10 the spirit of modern free
dom and progress, has always been considered so
unlikely to be tolerated among u.s. that no consti-
tutlonal prohibition of it has hitherto been
deemed necessary TO prevent its growth under the
protection of state ana territorial law and
Whereas the absence of such prohibition has
enabled designing men, under pretense of Il new
revelation from heaven. TO appeal TO the Interests
and passions of poor, ignorant people mt home
and abroad and to teach them that religion sane
tions and the United States allows the practice of
polygamy, and to dlfiuse the poison of this bar
barian practice through the territories of Utah,
Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho, Montana, and Wyo-
ming, TO the great injury of the future wel-being
and liberties of the Inhabitants thereof and to the
interests and good name of the whole people;
therefore,
Resoved By the senate and house Of ofrepresentdtiues
Of he United States Of America M congress- assem-
bled, That, pursuant TO the provisions of article
five of the constitution of the United States, the
following amendment to said constitution be, and
the same is hereby, proposediOr ratification by the
Legislatures OF the several states TO Wit:
AMENDMENT XVI.
Sec. /. Polygamy, being incompatible with our
civilization, is forever prohibited in the United
States and all places under its jurisdiction.
Sec. 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this
by appropriate legislation.
Resolved, That the secretary of state shall
promptly forward authenticated copies of this
Joint resolution to the several states.

A stock Company for Crematory.

ERIE, PA, Nov. Or. ]. Cummings, of
Conneant Ohio, is in this city to form stock
company for the purpose of erecting crema-
tory similar to DIR. lie Moyne's, at Washing
ton, Pa. He says the cost of the crematory
will be $1,000, and proposes for $50 share to
give each stockholder the privilege of burn
ing one body. The idea Is not meeting with
much success. but Mr.. Cummings says he will
build one himself in some town between
Buffalo and Cleveland. This, together with
DIR. Lovet's embalming process, which is
located here, gives western Pennsylvania
great prominence in the matter of disposing
