heartrending, all because those low

their families an extra pair of shoes.

XLIXth CONGRESS- FIRST SESSI on.
HOUSE..

WASHINGTON, April %.
The House met met today at IL o'clock for a
continuation of yesterdays session, and imme-
dately went into committee of the. whole on the

made and few moments before noon the COM
mittee arose.
The House then adjourned, and the session of
Friday was opened.
The Presidents message upon the labor troubles
having been read by the Clerk, Mr. Springer of
Illinois moved its reference to the committee on
labor with instructions to that committee to report
upon it by bill otherwise on or before the 18th
OF May
The message was not referred, however, until a
very general debate had taken place.
Mr.. Voorhees, of Washington Territory offered
resolution that the committee on rules be be IN.
or any other eX-member of the House who has
availed himself of the privilege Of admission to
the floor, under Rule "a, is interested as an agent
or attorney for any railway or other corporation,
or interested in any claim or bill pending before
Congress, and report to the House the result OF
such inquiry with such recommendations as may
be necessary. 1t had been an open secret, he
said that ever since the beginning OF this present
Congress a powerful lobby organized in the inter-
the Capitol, and that the rules of the House had
been openly, repeatedly and VIGOROUSLY set at
defiance by some members OF that lobby. He
protested against a continuance of that rank and
crying abuse. He did not intend to reflect upon
Mr.. Sweat, but he had inserted his name because
he personally knew Mr.. Sweat was attorney for
the Northern Pacific Company. Accepting the
suggestions by Messrs. Blount and Randall, Mr..
Voorhees, modified his resolution by emitting the
name of Mr.. Sweat and by providing that the in
quiry shall be carried on by select committee of
five members. AS SO modified the resolution was
adopted.
The House then went into committee of the
whole (Mr Hatch of Missouri in the chair on the
private calendar.
At 4.30 o'clock the committee rose, and the
House at 4.40 took recess until 7.30 O'Clock,

The State Fair.

One of the trustees of the State Agricultural
Society, Geo. E. Brackett of Belfast was in the
city yesterday returning from meeting of the
officers at Lewiston during which many important
arrangements for the forthcoming exhibition were
perfected and decided. Yielding to q strongly
expressed desire from the western section OF the
State, and especially Portland Odd Felows, the
date of the fair has been changed so as not TO
conflict with the Sovereign Grand Lodge at Bos-
ton, and it will now be held at Lewiston on the
Society's Park and in City Hall, Tuesday to Fri
day Sept 14th to 18th inclusive.
The premium list has been thoroughly revised
and will soon be in print and distributed. Some
important additions have been made to the list Of
offers Including sweepstake for exhibition of fat
cattle; also for fattest animals second class for
trotting stock stations and progeny; special
premium to boys for fattest pair of steers; and for
Orange exhibits, &C., &c.
1t is hoped to conclude arrangements with the
Grand Trunk Railroad which will induce our
Dominion neighbors to send in some horse and
sheep stock, running horses, &C., and last but not
least crowd of visitors to the fair.
The trustees have in contemplation several
specialties appropriate to the occasion which will
be duly explained and advertised when completed
