Without expressing any opinion as to
the merits OF the contest between Messrs.
ELLIS and HousroS. we will say that the
senator's are clearly in tho right who con
tend that no oct OF Assembly can deprive
the Senate Of its right 70 inquire into
the titles OF its members 20 seats in that
body. In the BUrrERwoRru aud other
cases in the national House OF Repre-
s natives, Mr. CARLISLE took years ago
the following position;
81 mean to say just this: that under
the Constitution Of the United States
this House has the absolute right and IN
controvertible power at any time and
under any circumstances 10 INQUIRE into
and 10 determine the elections, returns,
and qualifications OF is Own members +;
and that the act of Congress 10 which
the gentleman from Ohio alIudes IS a
mere practce-act, IL may use the express
sion, which prcscribes the nicholson pro-
cceding in certain cascs-that Is. IN cases
where there are regular contests in re-
spect TO seat on this floor, but that
legislation does not. and in the nature Of
thugs could not affect Unconstitutional
power which belongs to this House, and
which belongs inherently to every legis'
lative body, to judge Of the elections,
returns, aud qualifications of its own
members"
On such question Mr.. CARLISLE Is
high authority.

TO the Editor Of the DiSpGtch:
If State-Senator Edmunds, in the in
surance bill offered by him on the 7th
instant, desires to enforce the payment
of a policy, lost or not lost, simply be-
cause a premium representing that
amount has been paid, he is opening the
door to the biggest scheme OF rascality
that can be devised, because every in
centive to arson and incendiarism Is of
fered He certainly folgetS that the
cardinal point between insurer and in
sured and the moral principle sought for
IS indemnity simple and pure, not profit
No other representation exists in truth.
However, he may be safe to offer the
bill. If enacted there will be a disturb
ance. can only refer to the State of
New Hampshire, that has been without
insurance over year past The compa-
MES all left, and they will do it here un-
der the valued policy cause, for they
Just cannot stand it. The business now
is improbable without adding to its
risks.
The towns of the State would have to
quit business. Where would Danville
be to-day, burned up as it has been !?
Who would loan on real estate or mer-
chandise?
l am not in the insurance bust
ness myself, bat understand some of
its workings, and only desire TO call the
attention of those concerned. W.

The Vtrtue of Rest,

There is no better preventive of ner-
vous exhaustion than regular, unmarried
muscular exercise. Ii We could moderate
our hurry, lessen our worry, and increase
our open air exercise, large proportion
of nervous diseases would be abolished.
For those who cannot get sufficient
holiday the best substitute is an OCCASION
al day in bed. Many whose nerves are
constantly strained in their daily voca-
ton have discovered this for themselves.
A Spanish merchant in Barcelona told
his medical man that he always went to
bed for two or three days whenever he
could DO sparedfrom his business, and he
laughed at those who spent their holi-
days on toilsome mountains. One of the
hardest worked women in England, who
has for many years conducted large
Wholesale business, retains excellent
nerves at an advanced age, owing, it is
believed, 10 her habit of taking one day
week in bed. II We cannot avoid fre-
quent agitation We ought, il possible, to
give the nervous system time TO recover
itself between the shocks.

The fusion in the State Senate between
eight Republicans aud eleven Democrats
as a combination against sixteen straight
out Republican senators is even worse
than at first reported. II has been ex-
tended to the committees and we have
the extraordinary-and indeed unprece-
denied spectacle of the working infu-
ences in branch of the Legislature con
trolled by minority of the dominant
party. This is neither fair play nor po-
ltical wisdom. Cincinnati CONNER
ci0t- G0zcttc.
In other words, all your foolish talk
about suppressing negro votes and nul-
lifying the fourteenth amendment has
not alarmed even the Ohio Republicans
in the slightest degree. They are only
too glad to form an alliance with these
same Democrats who are, you charge,
in collision with rebels. These Ohio
"rebel sympathzers are the men you
denounce; but it seems they are good
enough for more than one third Of your
Republican State senators.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
4 FRIGHTENED GIRL CAUSES rNJuHIEs
TO SEVERAL PERSONS.
An Appeal to the Supreme Court-country-
men Taxed as Wood
Peddlsrs.
,co,r..rorsopco Of the Richmond Dlspa,ch.l


PETsRsBURG. January I'D, 1888.
A colored girl employed rs nurse IN
the family of Lieutenant Il. L. Berry,
on Lombard street, accidentally ignited
her dress last evening. She had the
baby in her arms at the time, which, IN
her fright, she let fall to the floor, IN
turing the child quite badly. In her
fipht from the room the girl ran against
Mrs Berry's mother, Mrs. Hughes, an
elderly lady, knocking the latter
down and setting fire 70 her clothes and
causing painful injuries. The eolored
Qirl had her clothes nearly burned on her
person But for the prompt assistance
rendered by the neighbOrs, who were at
tracted to the house by the screams OF
the parties. it is thought that serious
and perhaps fatal injuries might have
been sustained by two or more persons.
A daughter Of Lieutenant Berry was
quite painfully burned in her efforts to
save others.
1t is understood that an appeal will
be taken from the recent decision
rendered by Judge Hancock IN the
suit of the Taxpayers OF Green
Vile county to restrain the BOARD
of Supervisors from issuing the county
bonds in aid Of the construction OF The
Atlantic and Danyille railroad. This
cnse was tried in the Circuit Court
of this city last week, and a de-
cision rendered in favor OF the
railroad. One of the points to be raised
before the Supreme Court will be this:
That Judge Hancock rendered his opin-
ion after he had adjourned his court IL
was expected that he would take the
papers in the case, with all the references
quoted. into consideration and give his
decision at the next term OF his court,
and counsel were much surprised that he
did not.
Application will he made for bail in
the ease of John o. Pierce, the Young
man charged with the theft of money
from the person Of his friend Herbert
Vaughan, and doubtless bail will be al
lowed. His friends claim that the money
was tnken while he was under the effects
of liquor and without criminal intent
A number Of citizens Of the adjacent
counties were before the mayor tins morn
ing charged with violation OF the city or
dinance relative to the sale and hauling
of wood. These farmers send wood
here on the cars from which they clam
to deliver it to customers in licensed
carts. The regular wood dealers allege
that they are required 70 pay license on
their yards Ms well as carts, and were thus
placed at disadvantage After hearing
evidence and argument, the mayor de-
cided that the defendants should pay
special tax as wood pedders to enable
them to carry on their business legally.
