HOUSE OF REPREsENTATIyEs.

The journal OF Saturdays proceedings
having been read, Mr.. Crisp of Georgia
objected to its approval, on the ground
that il states that the gentleman from
West Virginia Mr. Hogg, entered a
motion on Saturday to reconsider the vote
by which the previous question was or
dered on the Thobe. Carlisle election case.
He thought that there was some mistake
about that. The gentleman from West
Virginia had entered motion to recon
slider the vote by which the Perkins reso-
luton reopei.ing the case had been de-
feated, but the chair had declined to
entertain it, on the ground that it was
not in order. The gentleman bad not
entered the motion to reconsider the
vote by which the previous question had
been ordered.
The speaker prQ ten. stated that his
recollection was In conformity with the
statement in the journal.
Mr.. Hogg stated that when he moved
to reconsider The vote on the substitute
the Speaker had stated that the motion
would not be in order until the vote by
which the previous question had been

Mr. Crisp thercupon withdrew his OBJ
lection, and the journal was approved.

lspccial Correspondeuce

DINwIDDIE G. H., Va, January 90
The regular term OF the County Court
for Dinwddie county was held at the
Court house Monday the 10th Instant,
Judge b. J. Epes presiding There being
but little business before the court, Il was
adjourned early in the day.
Tne crowd in attendance was large,
and held a meeting protesting against
the extension of the charter of the Vir-
ginia and Carolina Railroad Company.
The general impression of the people OF
this section is that an extension of the
said charter only retards the building Of
the road, which is much neeted-as much
for the protection Of our county roads
as anything else--a great deal Of the pro-
duce from North Carolina IL wagOned
through our county 10 the Petersburg
market. II is nothing unusual 10 see
from fifty TO one hundred heavy wagons
in one day passing down the "old Peters
burg and Boydton and Plank roads,
heavily loaded with cotton and tobacco,
grown in North Carolina, which would
be transported by the Virginia and Caro-.
lima railroad if completed.
We are having an unusual bad spell OF
weather the ground Is covered with
sleet, which makes travelling almost i'm
possible. DINwIpDIE.
