presented the credentials of Smith the
member-elect from the Seventh Iowa Dis
trict to fill the vacancy occasioned by the

Follett, as a question Of privilege, pre-
sented the following preamble and reso-
luton:
/ do impesch Lot Wright, United
States Marshal OF the Southern District oil
Ohio, of high crimes and misdemeanors
l charge him with u%surpation OF power
and violation of law, i'll that he appointed
a large number of general and special
Deputy Msrshals to serve at the several
voting precincts in Cincinnati, at the cleo
ton for members of Congress on the 14th
day of October 1884, and armed said
Deputy Marshals with pistols and other
deadly said to be furnished by
the War Department of the United States
Government; in that a large number of
Deputy Marshals, those SO appointed
and armed, were notorious criminals
and men known to be of vicious and
brutal habits and reputation and
many OF them non-residents OF Cincinnati,
and the State of Ohio; in that the said
Deputy Marshals, acting under his orders
and directions, aided, abetted and encour-
aged fraudulent voting, intimidation Of
voters and gross outrages upon the cleo
tive franchise and rights Of honest voters
in that city in the furtherance OF the
interest of q political party and its candi-
dates.
Therefore, Resolved, That the Commit
tee on Expenditures Of the Department of
Justice be required and directed as soon as
the same can reasonably be done to inves-
tigate such charges and report to the
House.
Keifer made q point of order against the
reception of the resolution, but the Sperker
overruled it, and decided that the resolution
presented was q matter of privilege and the
House could determine for itself how far
the investigation should be proceeded with
and what committee should have charge OF
it. After q long discussion, the House
adopted Follett's resolution for the inves-
tigation of the conduct of Lot Wright,
United States Marshal of Southern Ohio
in the election.
The House then proceeded to the con
sideration of the Interstate Commerce
bill, the discussion OF which will run all
day.
Vest offered a resolution directing an in
vestigation into all leases of land in the In.
dian Territory for grazing or other nur'
poses by the Indian tribes; the number
of acres embraced in said leases, theiI
terms and persons or corporations be
coming ~lessees; also, the circumstance
under which the leases were made, and
the means used in obtaining leases and
whether authorized by law.
A Unique Proposition.
CHICAGO, Dec. Am open letter viii
be published tomorrow from Randolph
Brand, Democratic candidate for State
Senator from the Sixth District, to Henry
W. Heman his Republican opponent
Brand says, that, while he ran ahead Of hi
ticket elsewhere, and had reason to believe
he would do the same in the 12tt
precinct of the 18th ward. There il
is alleged fraud was committed, which
added 200 votes to Brands count. Yet, ii
Leman's claim to this effect ia correct ii
would show that he (Brand) ran behind
his ticket in that precinct. Still, from the
fact that the ballots in the box indicate
that Lemans father-in law, brother-in-law,
and other intimate friends voted for Brand,
he (Brand) is inclined to the opinion .thal
these ballots fraudulent. He therefort
proposes to Lemsn that they jointly can
vass the vote of the entire district and II
it is found that ballots of a similar charac-
ter have been deposited in other precincts,
the matter will be settled by the testi
mony OF the voters throughout the dis
trict on the question for whom they voted
