MIR. VauX's Speech.

MIR. Richard Vaux, the picturesque Re
preventative from Philadelphia, occupied
the attention OF the House of Representa-
tives yesterday nearly an hour with most
Interesting constitutional argument against
the federal elections bill. The substance of
mis- opposition to the bill IVES that it ia Ut
constitutional and although the constltn-
ton provides that elections shall be held it
does not undertake to say in what manner
they shall be held. He denied the necess;-
tg for such an unjust and undesirable meat
ure, and suggested that in the event CT the
ates falling or negleciiDg to provide the
manner of holding elections, then it would
bo time enough for congregational interior
ence.
Shaking his finger at the members clustered
around him, he said he wauted to tell them thst
by this bill the power 10 chose their Represents
tives no longer vested in the people, but In y
federal election officer bought to do the bidding oi
him who appointed him. And in order to give
further respectability to his a. pOlntment the 4
provided that tho circnit court judges were to DO
the appointing, and the judges were to be brought
into the dirt and filth of partisan politics. But
gentlemen on the other eide said there were
frauds, and We must have pure election WIS
he to be taught at this late day that the necessity
to correct frauds imports into the constl utlon an
Interpretation OF the word manner" He want
ed to tell his friends that the democrats OF the
North would see that Maine was one of the first
places where this law sbould be carried out. If 1t
cost $3.50 ,000,O0) they would see IL carried out
in the North, and every dollar wrung from tho
Western farmers would be the seed OF angry re-
publican votes.
he was frequently interrupted ty republican
questions and his replies were invariably point
ed and witty, calling for enthusiastic applause on
the democratic side. His notes, rs he flashed re-
ferring to them were deposited in his old silk hat
which lay upon his desk. At the conclusion OF
his speech he tackled his papers under his ARM
put his bat on his head and left the chamber
amid erast enthusiasm on the democratic side.
