wish any of the bills pushed to the detri-
ment of the business of the House. He
claimed that the movement made this
morning by the Democratic side of the
House was for the purpose of delaying
the consideration of the apportionment
bill. He was ready to meet them on the
question of ballot reform, and claimed
that the Republican party was for pure
ballot and fair count, but he was op-
posed to this motion.
Mr.. Doty regarded this as most i'm
portant question, and one upon which
gentlemen owed duty to their constitu-
ents. He claimed that the Republicans
were not doing their duty in the matter,
and that they were trying to evade the
consideration of these bills by putting
them off till it should be too late to legis-
late upon them.
Mr.. Brusie reminded the gentleman
that the majority just won for Mr..
Gould's motion to unearth the bills from
the depths of the file was won by Re-
publicans, and warned him that he might
not find gentlemen of that party SO will
ing to vote with the Democrats if they
must submit to such lashing on the
floor of the House. He, himself, had not
stopped to consider, in voting for meas
ure that he believed right, whether the
Democratic minority was opposed to it
or not. He hoped he should not be
obliged to consider it.
Mr.. Galbraith and Mr.. Lowe both took
the ground that, while they were in favor
of ballot reform, and intended to support
it, they were not willing to be led in the
matter by a Democratic minority, and
would take their own time for consider
ing the matter.
Mr.. Mordecai spoke in support of the
motion, as did others.
The motion was lost by vote of q
ayes to 80 noes.

The debate in the Senate yesterday be-
tween Mr.. Carpenter on the one side, and
Messrs. MCGOWAN and G. j. Campbell on
the other, on the bill to make telegraph
companies common carriers, was the
sharpest that has thus far characterized
the proceedings of that body at this
session. The latter gentlemen favored
the bill, and the former bitterly opposed
it. He said that whatever evidence had
been presented in support of the measure,
must have been presented to individual
Senators. outside the committee-room, as
none had been offered there when the bill
was under consideration.
Mr.. Campbell seemed to discover in
this remark something peculiarly often
sive, for when he replied to Mr.. Carpen-
ter he labored under unusual excitement,
and intimated that the latter had covertly
insinuated that improper influences had
prompted the Introduction and advocacy
of the bill. The debate was very lively
one while it lasted, and it lasted quite
long enough.
The notice by Mr.. Hamill, who voted
for the bill, that he would to-day move to
reconsider the vote (21, bare majority
by which the bill was passed, will doubt
less have the effect of reopening the dis
