considered by the jury. The defend
ant insisted that his promise was void
(Code, section 1852, as promise TO pay
the debt of another. The plaintiff was
allowed to prove by the defendants
witness the custom of keeping books.
In that section, where goods are fur
nlshed at the request of a third party,
When the third person is landlord of

The competency of this evidence is the
principal question in the case We
think the evidence was corroborative,
and, in that view competent The
plaintiff had testified positively, and
the defendants evidence tended to i'm
peach the plaintiffs testimony; and the
usage and method of keeping accounts
In such cases were circumstances which
might aid the jury In arriving at q just
conclusion. Such custom and usage
told the jury that, il the defendant au-
thorized the selling to the son, the
PLAINTIFF could recover. although the
goods were charged to J. Il. Trip in
the manner stated in the case. He al
SO charged the jury on the law of prin-
cipal and agent. ana that If the credit
was given to ]. b. Trip. with Joseph
would not be liable. There Is nothing
IN these instructions of which the de-
PENDANT can justly complain. The
promise, as the jury have found it TO
be. under the charge, is not required
to be In writing. The liability of the
defendant depends upon his agreement
or promise to the plaintiff and not up
on the manner in which the plaintiff
stated the account on his books. he
latter was evidence properly before the
jury, under the circumstances and for
the purpose already stated. Affirmed.

expulsions from Congress.

The Roberts case" in Congress has |
excited intense interest throughout the !
country. The sentiment of the House |
OF Representatives seems TO be as
strong AS public sentiment, generally.
that the Utah mem Der elect should not
be permitted to occupy the seat. but it
is somewhat divided as to whether he
should be excluded altogether, or AL
lowed to take the oath as a member
and then be expelled.
Although the constitution gives an
unlimited power to each house of Con-
gress, with the concurrence OF two
thirds, to expel a member" the right
has been exercised but once by the
House OF Representatives. In 1861, John
B. Clarke, of Missouri, was expelled for
having entered the Confederate army.
The Senate expelled Jesse d. Bright
OF Indiana. in 1862, "for disloyalty,"
and it also expelled Senators Polk and
johnson of Missouri, and Senator Brock
enridge of Kentucky, who had been
Vice-President, for joining the southern
Confederacy. With these exceptions
the only instance Of an expulsion of a
member by the Senate was in 1897,
when William Blouut of Tennessee was
expelled by a vote of y TO one, for
conspiracy to deliver New Orleans to
Great Britain, and to instigate the
Greeks and Cherokees to assist the
British ia conquering the Spanish ter
ritory of Louisiana"
Thus in the whole history of the gov
eminent, there has been but one case
of expulsion save in connection with
the Civil War, and that one case was
more than century ago, and the
offense was treason.
There have been many narrow es-
capes from expulsion. The vote in the
case OF Senator John Smith, of Ohio,
suspected of completely in the Aaron
Burr conspiracy. was nineteen to ten
against him. One more Affirmative vote
would have made the necessary two
thirds. In repeated instances commit
tees OF both houses have recommended
expulsion, but the punishment has
been changed TO public censure. In
other cases members have resigned
when they saw that expulsion was in
evitable.
1t is creditable to Congress that it
has never abused its unrestricted power,
amid the temptations presented by the
stress OF party warfare. Com
panion.
