WAsHINGToN, June 26th.-Tbe commit
tee appointed under Delegate Voorhees,
resolution to investigate the allegations OF
abuse by ex-members of the privileges of
the House met this morning. Delegate
Voorhees, made a statement TO the commit
tee substantially the same as that made by
him in the House in April last, to the effect
that he had repeatedly encountered on the
floor l.. d. NJ. SWEET, an ex-member from
Maine, who had appeared before the COM
mittees as an attorney for the Northern Pa

allowed to serve their clients there
Ex-Congressman SWEET was then exam

of the Congress that had granted the

to look after its interests in various depart
ments. He declared that be had never
violated the letter or spirit of the House
rule extending the floor privilege to ex-
members. When the resolution proposing
certain inquiries to the Northern Pacific
Company had been introduced, he had
gone to Delegate Voorhees, and asked him
for information touching the scope of the
resolution (as il had not been printed), in
order to facilitate the preparation of an
answer. SWEET admitted that he had made
a statement concerning the Northern Pa
ciic before one of the House committees
and had been on the floor on one occasion
when member had requested him to fur.
nish some statistical information touching
the Northern Pacific; but he had de-
clined to do so while on the floor, although
he had promised to give it to him at hi:
(the members) room. SWEET also stated
that he had given some employment tc

How TO GET RID OF RATs.-A writer in
the Scientific american says be cleared his
premises of the detestable vermin by max
ing whitewash yellow with copperas, and
covering the stones and rafters in the cellar
with it. In every crevice in which rat
might go he put the crystals of the copperas
and scattered in the corners of the floor
The result was the complete disappearance
of rats and mice. Since that time not rat
or mouse has been seen near the house.
Every spring the cellar is coated with the
yellow wash as purifier and as rat ex-
terminator, and no typhoid, dysentery or
fever attacks the family. Never allow rats
and mice to be poisoned in the house
they are apt to die between the walls and
produce much annoyance
