the United States or in any officer of the House
OF Representatives only, and not of the United
States within the meaning Of the Constitution.
Mr.. Edmunds agreed with Mr.. Evarts in ad
miration of the men who framed the Constitu-
ton, but differed with him as to their intention,
80 far as related to the powers and functions of
Congress In the emergency under discussion.
AS he read the Constitution, it declared in plain
language that in every step in our election for
President and Vce-presdent. after the States
had acted, Congress was called on to be an I'M
portant actor and factor in the drama. The
early Congresses had in them members of the
Constitutional convention familiar with the
spirit and letter Of the governmental
scheme, in the light of their recent experience
and discussions, and those men, proceeding de-
hberately, first In one session and then in an
other, with every one of the aspects of the
guished senator from New York before them,
declared that Congress had the power, under
the Constitution, not only to provide that
the President of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House should carry on the gov
eminent until an election should be had, but also
provided that rev election should be had i'm
mediately, and no man had questioned it. Could
We suppose that our fathers, who were so wise in
framing the Constitution. became dull and ig..
norant the moment they came to execute III
Had they completely exhausted their intellect
and patriotism in framing an instrument they
had not the capacity to understand Itwas sug-
gested at the time, as had been suggested to-day,
that the President of the Senate and the Speaker
of the House were not officers, and in reply, the
clause of the Constitution was read which said
that the Senate shall have the power to choose
the President pro tenn and other officers" and
the directors were asked to explain what they
meant If it did not mean that the
President of the Senate was the officer
referred to, recognized and named in the Consti
tuition. AS far the scheme of the Constitu-
ton went, as explained and expounded by the
men who made it. it was agreed all hands
that it was within the competency of Congress,
and was its imperative duty, to provide that
there should be an immediate election when
those vacancies occurred, and now for a century
almost, had stood that law which the fathers
who made the Constitution and enacted, while it
was fresh in the minds of all, that law which
we now proposed to hold had been an entire mis-
take

to strike out the clause of the bill that dis

The Debate on the Rules-Speeches by Messrs.

WASHINGTON, Dec. E-Mr DibbIe of South
Carolina, asked leave to introduce joint reso
ton proposing constitutional amendment. 1t
provides that in case of the removal from Office

of the United States, the Office of
President shall devolve upon the Second
Vce-prssident, who shall be voted for on

manner, and for the same term as the President

the several States. The second Vice president
shall preside over the Senate in the absence of

Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, said that he
had like measure which he would like to go
with the proposition of the gentleman from
South Carolina
Mr.. Tucker, of Virginia. saw no reason why
the measures should have any precedence, and
he objected to their introduction.
The subject of the rules then came up for dis
cussion, MIR. Morrison, of Illinois, stating that
he would try to close the general debate at 4
o'clock to-day.
Mr.. Long, of Massachusetts, agreed with the
gentleman who demanded the largest parlia-
iueDtary Irceuom tHo representatives or the
people here, but he had been taught that liberty
was of value except as regu-
lated by law, and parliamentary rights
were Of value except as regulated
by parliamentary rules. There was only one
way in which the House could have absolute lib
erty, and that was to abolish all rules and all
committees and all restriction debates, and
to remand itself to the condition of a debating
society. Nobody proposed to do that The sim

to cure the evils under which it was suffering, il

and distribute them among eight or nine other
committees. The result would be friction and
delay, and possibly combinatiors. He yielded
to no member in criticism of the abuses under
which the House had been suffering, bnt he

AN ELOPEMENT FRUSTRATED.
Miss Jennings and Her Lord Fly Over Seas
To Be Nabbed at the Dock.

NEW YORK, Dec 17.-There were two people
hanging over the rail of the steamship Egypt, of
the Guon iine as she came MP the Narrows
this morning, to whom first impressions of the
land of the free gave promise of bright future
of welded bliss and happiness which the laws of
England denied. One was Miss Fanny Jen-
nings, a pretty little brunette, with large dark
eyes, and who has since stated her age at eight
cen. She was clad so tastefully and neatly that
her occupancy of the steerage seemed singular.
By her side stood q man many years her senior,
but to whom she had chung throughout the voy-
age very affectonately. He gave his name as
Joseph Shape, a butcher of Birmingham, Eng
land and nextdoor neighbor of Miss Jennings,
whose father kept grocery store.
A detective arrested Shape before he stepped
ashore, on the charge of having abducted Miss
Jennings. Mr.. Shape seemed astonished when
confronted by an officer, and greatly concerned
for the good name of his companion. whom he
evidently intended to make his wife, despite the
fact that he already has one in Birmingham.
Miss Jennings was betrothed to a young man
named Davies and the wedding should have
taken place the day she sailed for America
The night before, however she was missing,
but left letter to her parents saying that she
loved only Shape, and had gore to America with
him to be his wife The Tilted lover cabled to
the police here ordering their arrest, and offer
ing to forgive and marry his betrothed if she
would return. This she decided to do to-day
when told that she could not be Shapes legal
wife. She will sail in the next steamer Mr.
Shape, however, thinks the broad Atlantic had
better roll on between himself and his better
half for some time yet before he returns.
