IN THE HOUSE.
WAsH1NeroN. September 5h.-To-day in the
House the Clayton, Breckenridge contested elec-
tion case was taken up.
Breckenridge was accorded the floor IN MS
own behalf He denied the murder in his dis
trict, as charged by the Committee on ectlons.
If there were political men who charged, either
on the floor or in the press. that the people OF
Arkansas, or any group OF people representing
that State, had ever shown sympathy with the
infamous murder of Clayton, or that he (Breck-
enridge) had any knowledge of 1t in the re-
motest degree, they uttered that which was
cowardly and mean and which they knew 10 be
false. democratic applause. He then turned
the return of the sub committee the Republican
members indorSed Mcclure for high judicial
position in Arkansas. Lacey OF Iowa, Chair
man of the sub committee, said he recon-
meDded Judge Mcclure in strong terms, believ-
ing him one of the best ard most competent
men in Arkansas. Breckenridge proceeded to
quote from the statement made by A. NJ. Black
burn Republican, to show the bad character
OF Mcclure. He criticised in severe language
the action of the subcommittee, asserting
that he had been denied witnesses after he had
been promised they would be accorded him,
No greater debauchery of free ballot had ever
been committed than that committed by the
committee. He said in conclusion: Come TO
your conclusion and viii take appeal to the
people, regardless of party, in the district have
the honor TO represent, on the broad ground OF
common honesty, and in November they will
reverse both your conclusion and the method
OF your conclusion" Democratic applause.]
DalZell of Pennsylvania read in detail the tes-
timony bearing on the theft OF a ballot-box at
Plummerville and said its theft was absolutely
necessary to Breckenridge's return. Yet he
stood here and asserted that it had been stolen
by Republicans-this Republican ballot-box
The House stood dumbfounded in the face oi
such sublime embodiment OF impudence.
He commented upon the backwardness of the
State of Arkansas in endeayoring to hunt down
murderers. From this desecrated SOIL the
blood of John NJ. Clsyton cried to heaven, not
for vengeance but Tor justice, and the members
of both sides were here as sacred ministers to
execute just DEGREES. Republican applause.
