THE RETREAT

Were made by establishing a depot at
Cape Baird, IL miles 10 the south. Dav
after day the anxious men looked of
over Lady Franklin Bay expecting the
ice to open so that they might Commences
the Journey. Atlast, August 10, 1883, the
welcome news that the Ice was open was
brought. All had been made ready and
that very day the party embarked in
the little steam launch. Behind them
they left their dogs, as they could not be
taken. Foar barrels Of polk and some
seal oil were left for the animals. Lady
franklin Bay was crossed to Cape Baird,
distance Of thirteen miles, and then
the western coast of Grinnel Land was
followed south as far as Cape Hawkes..
Large quantities OF heavy loo were met
and there was extreme danger every
moment that the little launch would be
crushed. Several times all the boats
were nearly lost. The sufferings ofthe
men were great. They were now within
nifty miles of Cape Sabine. Striking
from Cape Hawkes. for Bates Island the
party was caught 10 the ice pack and
frozen in ten miles south on foes, suf

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRDUNE.l
OTTAWA, o. t., Jan. 1.-THE only important
feature of the speech delivered from the throne by
the Governor General on the opening of Parliament
To day was the reference made to the position of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, which fully bears ont the
view vour correspondent has taken for some time
past in regard to the affairs of the company. 1t
is now evident that the company will have to go
down on their knees and ask Parlian ent to make
further and more liberal concessions to enable them
TO 20 on with the work. The announcement made
to-day of the failure Of the company to float their
stock has caused considerable excitement among
those who in 1850 thought the railway had made Il
splendid bargain with the Government IN securing
The contract. 1t is generally understood that
Parliament will not only be asked to ralhy the
guarantee of the interest gwen by the Government
on the stock of the company during the recess,
but that it gives the Government power to return
the cash deposit to the company which was given
~ security for the guarantee. In this way the
company have locked up some $9,OOO,OO0 of their
funds which they now require TO meet current
expenses. in his speech the Governor General
congratulated the members of the two Houses that
the general condition of the Dominion was so
favorable The marked success attained by Canada
at the International Fisheries Exhibition in London

and one likely to prove widely useful in making the

fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEl
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE action of the House
Committee on Elections in the Manning Chalmers
case was great disappointment to the former gen.
teman and has provoked a good deal of hostile
criticism among Democratic Representatives. 1t
seems that Chairman Turner and Mr.. Lowery. of
the committee both Democrats, voted with the
Republicans against the resolution declaring
Manning entitled TO the seat by virtue of
his prima facie right. 1t is understood that
had Adams, of New York. another DEMOCRATIC mem
Der of the committee, been present no would have
taken the same side. The resolution declaring
Manning entitled to tho seat was lost by tie vote
in committee, but fair majority, had the COM
mittee been full, would have rejected the resolu-
tion.
Manning seemed much dsheartened, as
well as surprised. When the Democratic
caucus took up his case and a majority
decided to seat him at the begin
ming of the session. he showed considerable
coyness and talked largely of his design to refrain
from claiming a seat under title which seemed the
least bit cloudy He has entirely recovered from
his foolishness however and thinks il agreat hard
ship, that the people of Mississippi district shall
be left without any representation in Congress un-
til the Elections Committee and the House shall
have investigated and disposed Of the contested
on its merits.
1t is probable, however that the decision of the
Elections Committee that neither Manning nor
Chalmers has prima facie right to the seat will be
sustained by majority of the House.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Banks County
KuKlux are again before the country. On Tuesday
next counsel for the five convicted KuKlux, who
are now in the Albany Penitentiary, will be heard
before the Supreme Court of the United States on
n motion for a writ of habeas corpus. Solicitor
General Phillips for the Government will resist the
motion. To TRIBUNE correspondent to-day
Emory Speer, United States Attorney, who obtained
the convictions in Georgia, stated the legal bearing
of the efforts of the defendants counsel.
aTbe contention of the Defence" said Mr.. SpeeT
e is that the courts of the United States have no
Jurisdiction to punish a band of conspirators who
beat or otherwise iniure citizen for voting in a
Federal election If this be true the Incarceration
of the defendants is illegal and the Supreme Court
will order their discharge. This, 1t will be OBJ
served is question of the first Importance, and the
Government is confronted with the assertion
that 1t has no constitutional or lawful power TO
protect the citizen after he has voted. The Ques-
ton is presented, perhaps in the most distinct and
clearly cut manner possible, the constitutional
jurisdiction of the Federal court being the single
matter before the Supreme Court
"Counsel for the defence rely mainly on the
principles maintained in the Civil Rights case and
they say that as the action of the defendants was
that of individuals and not of the state the state
courts alone have jurisdiction. They base their
argument on the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments and the decisions hereunder, Now
the jurisdiction of the United States Court was
sustained in Georgia irrespective of the Amend
ments the court holding that under Article l.
Section A. of the Constitution, Congress has the
power to make and alter the regulations for the
fmes place, an manner Of elections for Represent
atives and that this implied necessarily the power
TO protect the citizens by suitable enacments from
injury for voting at such election. The denial OF
this proceeds / think. from the n.iscOncepton If

"There are other strong positions taken by the
Judge in Gee rgia. The right to vote is of course
given by the State. hut the law giving the rights
in Federal election, over which Congress has

the Senate in Executive Session to-day OH the ques-
ton of ratifying the Mexican treaty. The discus
sion was begun as soon the morning business was
disposed of, and lasted for nearly four hours The
speeches of the day seem to have been made by
Senator Miller of New-York who was strongly IN
favor of the treaty and the new Senator from Louis
ana Randall Gibson, who, as might have been ex-
pected, spoke earnestly against its ratification Ex-
Governor Colquitt, of Georgia, declared himself IN
favor of the measure, while his colleague, Mt
Brown, is known to oppose it.
Mr. Beck OF Kentucky, will probably vote for
the treaty regarding it in the light of step in the
direction of free trade For the same reason
nent protectionsts will oppose it. Altogether the
result is considered most doubtful The opinions rs
be derived under it seem to differ widely, and II
the measure should pass it would do so only 6y "a

taken Tomorrow.
