cidl)-Generdl James a. NdihtTf Nhc ~
publican who represents the Ninth Dis
trct Of Virginia. in the House of Repre-
sentatives. made a display, and very
discreGitable one at that, OF his PARTISAN
ship to-day. The contested election case
OF Johnston Republican, against Stokes
Democrat. OF South Carolina, was re-
ported on from Elections Committee, No
g. Representative Jenkins Republican,,
Of Wisconsin, made the majority report
in favor Of Stokes. the Democrat. Rep
resentative Overstreet, OF Indiana, made
the minority report in favor Of Johnston,
the contesting Republican, in which he
was Joined by Walker of Virginia, and
Thomas. Of Michigan. Mr.. Walker trans
ferred himself to the Republican side Of
the house, and began a very bitter and
slanderous attack on the election laws
of South Carolina, in the course OF which
he rather reflected on the Republicanism
Of some Of the members of the Elections
Committee. This brought Representative
jenkins to his feet. who said that he was
a Republican and a Union soldier, when
Mr. Walker was on the other side; and,
that he had been a consistent Republican
a recent convert, ard like all new con-
verts, was over-ZealOus.
MIR. jenkins paid a high compliment to
Representative Jones. OF virginia, and the
other members Of Elections Committee.
No. 3, for their fairness and impartialty
in all the cases that had come before the
committee. He administered a well-de-
served rebuke to Walker for his assump-
ton of all the Republicansm that was in
the committee.
Mr.. Walkers time being up. he asked
that his undeliverod remarks be allowed
TO be printed in the Record. This could
only be done by unanimous consent. and
Mr.. KEN, Of Nebraska. the great director,
objected so that Mr. Walkers attack on
South Carolina will be consigned to the
waste-besket. Later. he had quite a
lively spat with jenkins and other Repub-
leans. in all Of which he came out Sc
