THE HOUSE.

Twenty-eight members, including the
Speaker, were present when the House met
at IL O'Clock. The purpose Of the early
meeting was to afford more time for dis
cussion. OF those present but ten sat on
the democratic side of the chamber.
The call Of committees for reports was. at
the suggestion Of Mr. Burrows CAich), dis
pensed with. and the federal election bill
was taken up.
Mr.. Hainer CNeb) concluded his speech
in opposition to the proposed legislation
He criticised the state election laws in
vogue In some of the southern states. and
asserted that in North Carolina a negro
had been disfranchised because his wife
had eloped with a white man.
The object of the laws which It was now
proposed to repeal was to secure free and
fair elections.
MIR. Hicks Opposed the Bill.
Mr.. Hicks Pa.) opposed the bill BY the
repeal Of the federal election laws the DEM
ocratic party would abridge the rights Of
citizens to vote without regard to previous
condition of servitude. He then referred
to the silver question. The President, he
said, had called Congress together in extra
ordinary session for certain purpose. The
House had accomplished that purpose; but
the Senate. by it's delay, had become the
laughing stock of the country. Now Con-
gress was kept here for the purpose Of en-
tering upon partisan legislation, which had
not been the purpose of the President when
he called these bodies together Was not
this movement intended to humiliate the
President? The repeal Of the federal cleo
ton laws was of more Importance to the
democratic party than was the relief Of
the people.
Mr.. Cummings on Repeal.
Mr.. Cummings On. " denounced the elec-
ton laws (and in this denunciaticn he de-
precated the idea that he was speaking
for the people of the south or for the great
city Of New York;. He was speaking for
the people Of the United States. and he de-
nounced the federal election laws as an ul-
Ger and a mildew on the statute books of
the country.

Greeting to Ex-senator Edmunds

Ex-senator Edmunds was on the floor Of
the Senate this morning for about an hour
AS his old colleagues learned Of his pres
ence they flocked around to shake his hand
The first to discover him were Senators
Morgan and Harris, and they sat on his
either hand on a sofa on the republican
side and compared notes of health and
weather and politics until they were dis
couraged by the dozens of hands that in
terrupted their conversation. Senator Al
lison had a long and earnest conference
with the Vermont statesman. Judge Ed
munds appeared to be in most excellent
health.

AMSTERDAM, Oct 6-The Handelsblad
OF this city says that the officials who are
trying to unravel the mystery surrounding

eminent physicians will try the experiment.

ONEIDA SUPERVISORS WORKING TOWARD HAV
ING GOOD ROADS.
The question of good roads is now being thor-
oughly discussed in Oneida County ana many
prominent and influential men of the county are
hopeful that good Will result from the discussion
and Oneida will adopt the system known as the
'county system" in the production or nrst-cIass
roads On Thursday a resolution was introduced
In the Oneida County Board Of Supervisors by
Superyisor Robert McCreary, and made the specia
order Of business for next Wednesday. in when II
was declared that II having been demonstrated
that the county system practicable and feasible
and conducive TO the welfare and prosperity ~, ol
the taxpayers the system should be adopteu py
Oneida County and put into efiect IN 1881 as Pio
yided by the statutes relating thereto =
one OF the arguments offered by the friends OF
the resolution is that Oneida. one or the most
beautiful heaithful and progressive counties IN the
state would. with the added benefit OF good roads
become extremely attractive 10 summer Nlsltorss
or those desiring country homes. besides being OF
inestimabe value 70 the farmers ana owners oI
suburban homes. The Oneida County League ior
Good Roads. which is composed OF a large nuTp-r
of property owners is heartily in favor OF ana
WORKING for the project. .
a large attendance is expected at the meeting of
the Board of Supervisors on wednesday. ana II Is
thought that 1t may be decided to adopt the sys.
tenn II not as a whole at least as an experiment
and object lesson.
