IN THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON. September 17th.-In the House
the Langston-N enable contested election case
came up and the Democrats resorted to the tao
ties of leaving the Chamber when the roll was
called ou consideration, but the Clerk finally
managed to note quorum, and Aaugen, of
Wisconsin, proceeded 10 argue the case.
Cheadle, OF Indiana, opposed the majority
resolution: and declared that the Fourtd Dis
triet of Virginia was reliably Republican, it
being carried by the Democrats not because of

the Republican party to seat the man who led
the bolt against the regular Republican caudi-

canism. He was copfident that there never
could be strong and effective Republican
party in the S7uth until there were
it stiong and effective Senator Malone and
the white men OF Virginia made the Republi-
can party strong in that State, and secured the
election OF six republicans TO Congress. Ignor-
ance could not dominate men and overrule in
telligence The Republican party in the South
could not be built upon negro votes alone. He
(Cheadle) could not unde- OATH and with his
knowledge of the case, vote to seat the con-

the House and the good name of the great
party to which he belonged, that there would
be enough Republicans voting with him to
retain Yensble in his seat. He eulogized ex-
Senator Malone, and predicted that if his lead
ership was followed Virginia in few years
would be as reliably Republican as Vermont.
When Cheadle concluded he was greeted with
went over until to morrow, Haugen stating that
he would call for the previous question at 2
o'clock.
The Speaker announced his signature to the
river and harbor bill, and the House took a
