Her Agents Think She will Soon be Iemd
lst ''sEg From.
New YoRH, Jan. 3O.-The agents of
the National Lincsteamship Erin, which
asiled from this port for London nearly
a month ago, express strong hopes that
the vessel will soon be reported as hay-
!!ng turned up at the Azores, or Western
Islands. =
They say that her boats were picked
up by the Creole about 900 miles north
west OF the Azores, and at point sew
eral hundred miles to the southwark of
the course which the National Line
cleaners usually take. This, they say.
would indicate that she had broken her
machinery and had started under sail for
the Azores. '0..-'- > ~ y
The last seen Of the Erin was when
she was sighted OF Cape Sable, on De-
cember 81, by Capt. Robinson, OF the
steamship Canada. She then appeared
to be all right. Her agents say that She
had six feet Of iron combings around
each OF her matches, which fact would
have tended to increase her safety. The
general Impressions in shipping circles.
however, is that the Erin will not be-
heard from, although it is admitted that
there is slight chance that the theory
of the National Line agents is the cor
rect one. ti5rg=l ''g -

CHARLESTON, w. VA, Jan. 3O.-At
ESQ the joint session reconyened and
Senator Morris resumed his argument.
He said: I desire for moment to refer
to the treatment that the minority re.
port has received. Colonel St. Clair
says there are two mistakes in the mi:
nority report to one in the majority.
His arithmetic is good. He says 20" Is
"E," 1.-TWO" is I"Twe." "Twe" is
"Twelve." We defy anybody to point
out one mistake from our standpoint.
Beyond the naked declarations, where is
the proof that Goff was not elected by
40 majority. When Mr.. St. Clair went
out Of his way to violate proprieties, to
manufacture evidence, he knew that he
was doing what no court would permit.
| DEFY any man to point to the evidence
that proves his statements. Find
It, and ! will vote to seat A.
B. Fleming as Governor Of this
State. The witness says he never said
what St. Clair puts in his mouth con.
cerning Charles Polk and his offer Ia
vote at Mill Creek in Mercer county,
He does not say it is the same Charles
Polk, and we say it isn't. The witness
says distinctly that he "learned from
heiesay," and this he said, not in this
case, but in the Alderson-AIcG Ginnit
case. Why don't these attorneys, who
have had opportunity to read 4the law,
why don't they read it and discuss the
case from the point in view Of the law
Now we affirm that it must be showr

Spaulding's issued TO themselves eighty
thousand dollars worth OF stock sub.
scribed by them without having
paid the amount represented by tho
certificates; that they misrepresented
the company's losses likewise rs to tho
payment OF eleven thousand dollars Of
bills; that they improperly disposed Of
an issue OF one hundred thousand dol.

fully cancelled nine thousand dollars Of
stock; that their management has been
ruinous, unskillful and negligent; TINT
they have continually drawn from cor.
porate funds for their own use such
amounts OF money as they saw proptr
without accounting therefor, and that
Charles II. Spaulding's failure to keep
proper books Of account was wilful and
for the purpose Of concealing from other

There is feeling OF amazement in

legal proceeding as this against Tho

tonlshlng accusations should have been
granted ex parte by Judge in chambers
without notifying or hearing The other

BRECKENRIDGE RAISES pRpLAM,

Mr.. Mckinley then proceeded with
his argument. This question he said
was important in every aspect, not only
to the majority but to the minority. Ii
was OF sufficient Importance to demand
members to pause and consider it un.
moved by passion and unbiased by
prejudice. 1t was as the gentleman
from Kentucky (Mr. Carlislc) had said a
constitutional rather than u parliament
tary question. The Speaker had right,
he continued, to proceed to note that
thirty or thirty-flve members, who had
refused to vote on a roll call, were pres.
ent and in their seats. 11 IN
iHa M'ElNLEY's SPEECH. a-
All that was involved iu the appeal
was simply a question Of fact. Was not
the Speaker correct9 Did any gentle.
man whose name was disclosed by the
count rise in his place and declare that
he was not present? Not one. The
constitution did not declare that ma.
jority Of the members who answer to
their names should constitute quorum,
It was decided how the question OF mu.
jority should be determined. That was
left to the House, and the House left il
to the Speaker. Under general parlia.
mentary law the Speaker had a right tc
count the members, and il there wat
no quorum to stop all business. The
principle was distinctly estab
lished that the presiding office,
might count, and 1t was his duty to count
the number Of members who might. be
present to constitute a quorum. The
gentleman from Kentucky, MIR. Car
Isle, had declared that under the
Speakers decision one representative
could pass a bill with lG7 members sit
ting in their seats In silence. So ht
could, and 60 he ought to. II 1877 mem
bers sat in silence and refused to vote
when their votes would defeat the prop
