A Quorum.


The death of Mr.. KELLEY. Of Pennsyl-
vania, member Of the national House of
Representatives, recently raised the ques-
ton whether the number of members
requisite to q quorum in that body had
been changed by that fact. There are $50
members in full House, of whom 166 con-
etitute a quorum. Is 165 a quorum now
that Mr.. KELLEY is dead and his successor
has not been elected? 1t is understood
that Speaker REED answers this question in
the Affirmative and we infer from what we
have read in the papers on the subject ahat
The Democrats of the House of Representa-
tives acquiesce in his decision. The Ian
Cuage of the Federal Constitution is:
"A majority of each thousel shall consti-
tute q quorum to do business"
The same question has been raised in the
Virginia Senate in consequence of the
death Of MIR. EASILY. That body consists
Of forty members and the State Constitu-
ton provides as follows:
"A majority of the members elected to
each house shall constitute a quorum to
do business"
II is evident that the trainers of that
provision had the Federal Constitution be-
fore them iwhen they inserted the word
"eleced" in the Virginia Constitution. In
the Virginia Constitution of lS29-'sO the
word elected" does not appear. In that
instrument the language of tho Federal
Constitution is strictly followed-namely
"A majority of each house shall consti-
tute quorum to do business"
Why was the word elected" added9 1t
was added that there might afterwards be
no room to raise a question on the subject.
Whatever, therefore. the provision means
as it stands in the Federal Constitution it
must mean as it stands in the Virginia Con-
stitution that majority of a full House
ehall constitute quorum to do business.
Otherwise, the word elected" would be
deprived Of all meaning, and the Virginia
provision would DO exactly the same as that
contained in the Federal Constitution.

CONGRESSIONAL Elections.

The Republicans in the national House
of Representatives are never afraid TO DO
whatever their party leaders call upon
them 10 do. II the Democrats controlled the
House, the Republicans would not hesitate
TO stay IN the cloak-rooms whilst vote WAS
being taken, rather than allow themselves
TO be recorded as present in order 10 make
mp quorum Of Democrats. They would
not be afraid to pass any bill which might
promise TO secure to their party the con-
troll Of the next House. SO we are not at
oil surprised to learn that it is their desire
TO pass q law requiring the next elections
for members Of the House of Representa-
tiyes to be held in the districts as these now
stand.
We do not know why there should1be
any doubt as to the power of Congress to
pass o national election-law properly
guarded and intended only to secure fair
elections for the House Of Representatives.
The Supreme Court of the United States
has decided that the present national cleo
tion-laws are constitutional. These put
our congressional elections under the con.
troll Of Federal supervisors and Federal
deputy marshals. who are authorized to see
that even the registration of the voters is
done in the proper manner. Some of these
Federal officials have the right TO DO in the
room with the judges of election at proper
times. &C., &c.. &c. 1t is suggested that
though these laws are constitutional. yet o
law such a. Mr.. HoAa and MIR. WIcKHAM
have proposed would DO unconstitutional
because II would be in effect districting
Of the several States for the election of
congrcssmen- power denied to Congress

Funeral Reform.

The Religious Herald for this week contains
nm excellent editorial on funeral reform.
The following Is only one of number OF
good points;
"There il one custom connected with
funerals which we would gladly see aban-
doned. We refer TO the habit of wearing
black as q mark Of respect for the dead. 1t
is Ruskin, we think, who calls II that
strange custom Of tho Church of God 1t
is indefensible. IL we are to notify the
public in any way that we have recently
suffered bereavement, let us do it in some
other fashion. IL our dress is to proclaim
it. let us choose some other color besides
that which nature almost absolutely alb
juros. But. in our judgment, we ougnt
not to constantly advertise our private
criefs and sorrows. The general public are
not interested in them. Our friends ana
kindred, who are prepared to share our
sorrow, need no reminder. Many other
reasons weigh strongly against this Gus
tom, such az its expensiveness. It's al
legged unhealthfulness, and not unfre-
ouently It's manifest incongruity with the
manner and bearing of the wearer."
Year in and year out some families are
forced by custom or fashion to wear 1.-THE
babilaments of woe" We might all say
with HAMLET that though we are TO the
custom [mannerl born it Is TO us custom
which We think would be more honored In
tho breach than the observance. 1t Is an
expensive custom, and one that has no.
thing to recommend it except to desire to
defer to public opinion, or, in other words.
TO be fashionable even in our funerals.
DIR. Franklin once said that he dressed to
please his neighbors and not himself. SO
in this matter many persons follow an un-
wise precedent of long standing because
they fear TO offend Mrs. GRUMPY.
The Herald protests against dispensing
with funeral sermons, and has almost made
a convert of us on this point. And yet
and yet-when we recall how often the
clergyman breaches the funeral of DIR.
JEKYLL whilst Mr.. HYDE is in the minds of
the hearers-how often the clergyman
draws picture which though he really
believes it to be true to nature, his hearers
know to be precisely the reverse-how Of
ten, in word the preacher is imposed
upon, though nobody is guilty of an inten-
ton to deceive bim-we cannot but think
that there is good reason tor the rule fol-
lowed in this city by the clergy of one or
more denominations. which rule is that on
funeral occasions there shall be only the
singing of hymn or two and reading OF
the Holy Scriptures.

Apeaf Mnte,s Curious Story.

Quite sensation has been created at
Lima, Ohio. over the testimony of j. b.
Showalter, deaf mute employed OF the
Standard-0il refinery, given at the inquest
being held by the Coroner. Showalter
stated that the morning before the explo-
sion, which killed one man and injured five
others. he was at work in the still-house
when strange man approached him from
behind and tapped him on the shoulders
He looked around and the strange man
motioned for him to follow him. He did
him that everything was fixed, and that
when he gave him the tip to look out. Sho-
walter was frightened and did not work tho
next day, when the explosion took place.
The strange man he had never seen before,
and the supposition is that the explosion
was the work of some one as revenge
against the company.
