WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The House
Committee on Elections to-day decided
by q majority of three votes that Mr..
Skinner, Democrat, of South Carolina,
was not elected from the right district
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Mr.. Pool, Republican. Then without
stopping to take breath the committee by
q majority of one vote decided that mas
much as Mr.. Skinner had been elected
in a district at an election held in ac-
cordance with writ issued by an
acting Governor OF North Carolina, he
ought to be permitted TO retain his seal.
1t isintimated that at a future meet
ing of the committee this absurd vote
may be rescinded. If Mr.. Skinner was
not elected from the proper district, in
accordance with the laws of the United
States and North Carolina, that ends
it, and he has no right to sit IN Con
gress al the representative of district
In which no vacancy had occurred.
The fact that the old district was Re
publican by a safe majority, while The
new district is Democratic, was plainly
the reason why the Lieutenant-Gover
nor Of North Carolina, in the absence
the Governor, issued writ for an cleo
ton in the new district to fill a vacanc!
in the old district. This consideration
may have governed the majority Of tn
committee to-day in its vote on tn
second proposition.
Two Republican members of tn
committee were absent, one of whom
thought to labor under the impression
that he was placed on the committee q
an ornament rather than with the ide
that he would attend to his duties.

Advice to Mr.. Morrison.
New York Herald.


Look here, Mr.. Morrison, do you re
alive what a des ructive measure your
Tariff bill will prove to be?
The law framed last March admitted
spices free and placed nutmegs on the
free list. This extreme aud uncalled
for measure struck at the roots of that
important industry of Connectlcut-the
manufacture of wooden nutmegs,
Many factories were compelled to shut
down, while in others shor, time and
reduced wages had to be enforced. Now
you come and propose to admit lnm-
Der free. This will crush the life out OF
the wooden nutmeg industry. The raw
material ought to DO taxed.
Then, too, there is the baked bean
industry of Boston, which employs We
do not know how many men and pays
them from one hundred to two hundred
per cent. higher than is paid to the pau.
per labor of Europe. Your bill viii
cause every bean establishment tc
close its works; the laborer nus be dis
charged, the balance Of trade will turr
against this country and our specie
will be drawn hence to enrich the for
eigner and ruin US. The pie industry
stands in like position.
Go slow, Mr.. Morrison. These ar
but few examples Of the incalculabl
evil which your iniquitous and revolu
tionary bill will produce We beg o
you to consider well the awful conse
quences of your act.

A CLOSE CALL.
A Passenger Train Narrowly e.
cApNs Going into the Greek


The passengers on the accommoda-
ton train, which left this city at I. 90
o'clock this morning for Philadelphia,
Experienced terrible fright when the
train arrived at the railroad bridge over
the Brandywine creek, by the sudden
Earring of the train, caused by the en-
CINE leaving the track while going over
the bridge, when many Of those on
board supposed they We're doomed, and
a panic was alone prevented by the
GOODNESS and presence Of mind of con-
Of brakemen, who informed them that
there was no imminent peril.
The particulars of the accident, rs
CLEANED by REPUBLICAN reporter,
who was soon upon the scene, are
about as follows: The train, composed
of three well.f led cars, left this city at
1850 o'cl eek, drawn by engine No A.,
with Edward Il McCOnaghy rs engineer.
The train was going at its usual rate OF
speed, and when rounding the curve at
the foot of Seventh street, the engineer
noticed that the signals on the bridge
were up against him and he imme'
diately applied the air brakes and re-
versed his engine.
The brakes, however, refused to work,
and the engine went sliding along the
tracks towards the bridge, and passed
along until the draw was reached,
when the engine left the track and pro.
ceeded along the ties nearly the entire
length of the draw before II came to a
stand still.
The draw was being turned off for
the purpose of letting the tug boat
Claudia through, when bridge tender
Smith heard the iran. approaching. lie
quickly reversed D." rurn w Of the
4 draw and endeavur, ~ LrL " III posi-
tion, but was unsuccessful, as the en-
CINE struck it and went bounding over
the ties, when it lacked about foot of
being in proper position. The engineer
stuck bravely at his post, but was
somewhat nervous after all danger had
passed.
The trains escape from being plunged
into the water below was almost mi
raculous, and credit is due the bridge
tender, engineer and conductor for their
GOODNESS and presence of mind, which
alone prevented what might have been
a terrible calamity.
AS soon as the accident happened
word was sent to the depot, and Colonel
Brisen repaired to the scene to super
intend the replacing Of the engine on
the track. Several shifting engines
were summoned, the train pulled back
to the depot and the unfortunate loco
motive re- placed on the track and taken
