WASHINGTON, March 20.-The point
raised yesterday by Reagan, that there
were no rules governing the house, none
having been formally adopted was discuss
ed at length. The speaker said under
rule l47. the rules Of the preceding house
were the rules of every succeeding house

The chairman fnalIy overruled the point
raised by Reagan and holding that the sec

the decision sustained by l25 to 107. A gen.

While Michael DAILY was at work on
Western avenue, about two miles from the
city of Lynn, Mass, ON the 9th, he saw
little way off what he supposed was huge
chunk Of wood, but on investigation it
proved to be trunk from which a human
hand protruded. The trunk was tied with
large woolen string, and on opening it a
horrible spectacle was presented, being that
OF the body of young woman about "a
years old, in nude condition, with the
arms and legs twisted about in every con-
ceivable shape. Her nose was entirely cut
of. The trunk contained besides the dead
body, two champagne bottles and several
bricks. An autopsy was held, and it was the
opinion of the doctors that she had been
dead two or three days.


Miss Laura Teed, of Franklin, Mass, has
been missing since the 2lst ult. Although
her age does not correspond with that of
the girl found in the trunk, she was fully
developed and might be mistaken for one
Of "a years. The description given by su-
perintendent Adams, of the Boston police,
OF Miss Teed, answers the description of
the murdered girl.

A CURE FOR BURNs.--The follow
ing is one of the best applications for
burns or scalds, more especially
when large surface is denuded of
skin. Take one dram of finely
powdered alum and mix thoroughly
with the whites of two eggs and one
teacup of fresh lard; spread on u
cloth and apply to the parts burned.
1t gives almost instant relief from
pain, and excluding the air prevents
inflammatory action. The applica-
ton should be changed at least
once day.-Am. Manufacturer.

At the regular service last Sunday morn Ing the Rev. Mr. Anderson preached from the second verse of the third epistle Of JOhn,-" wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." He said that health, wealth, character and mental acquire ments and cultivation were conditions of bodily prosperity; the same features lap piled spiritually were conditions Of spirit ual prosperity. Could the preacher with safety address the wish of the text to his audience? He was afraid if he wished them worldly prosperity in proportion to the prosperity Of their souls, and the wish were gratified, they would soon need a physician for their bodies as they now needed a physician for their souls. II was their duty to attend To the osperity Of their spiritual nature.

 The lesson was attentiveIy listened 10 by the little congregation who are SO faith fui in their Sabbath attendance. The audience is respectable in size but noi as large as IL should be.

not alter the question at issue. The
new doctrine, If maintained, will re-
suit in consolidation of unchecked
and dtspotic power in the House of
Representatives,.


A bare majority of the House will
become the government. The Execur-
tive will no longer be whas the famers
Of the Constitution intended, an equal

duty of the President to exercise his
discretion and judgment upon all bills

government.


To say that a majority Of either OF
both of the branches Of Congress may
insist on the approval Of bill under

Executive that share Of the legislative

second section of the seventh article
of the Constitution. Itstrikes from the
Constitution the qualified negative of
the President.


DANGEROUS VIOLATION OF THE cossTIrU-


TION.


The people of this country are un-
willing to see the supremacy of the Con
s,itution replaced by the omnipetence
of any department Of the government.
The enactment of this bill into law
will establish precedent which will
tend to destroy the equal indepen-
dence of the several branches of the
government. An
act of Congress to protect elections is
now the grievance complained of. But
the House may, on the same principle,
determine that any other act of Congress
treaty made by the President will! the
advice and consent Of the Senate, a
nomination or appointment to office. or
decision or opinion of the Supreme
Courts grievance, and that the
measure of redress is to withhold the
appropriations required for the sup.
port of the offending branch of the
government. Believing that the bill
is dangerous violation of the spirit
and meaning of the Constitution, am
compelled to return it to the House in
which it originated without my approv-
a..


The qualified negative with which
the Constitution invests the President
is trust that involves duty which
he cannot decline to perform. With a
firm and conscientious purpose to do
what can to preserve unimpaired
the constitutional powers and equal
independence, not merely Of the
executive, but of every branch of
the government which will be i'm

The Republicans in our State should

They must do so if they expect to sue

ple who would much rather have seen

ty, peace and prosperity even If 1t in

to power than to have it torn to pieces
by sectional animosities and jealousies
and divided into solid south against

belongs to the Southern Bourbon De.
mocracy who in o,der to seize the polit-
ical reins Of the Government inaugura-
ted reign of terror and blood in the
South, which prevents one party, com,
posing one half Of the people of the
South, from having any voice whatever
in making the laws. That solid Dem
ocratic South has resulted in solid
Repu blican North, We have but to look
at the results of the elections that have
been held in Maine, California, Colora-
do, Connecticut, Ohio and Iowa, which
the Re publicaps have carried with their
old time majorities. 1t is all right that
these States should vote as they have
Just voted, but that they should be i'm
PEELED to do so in order to counteraet
the evil influence of a solid South does
not promise a happy or secure future
bat it has been forced upon the North
against its desires, Just as the civil war
was forced upon it. Nothing conld be
worse for the Republic than that it
should be sectionally divided by poll
tics, for the section that is defeated in a
national contest is left virtually without
representation in the national govern
ment. The South, however, as soon as
it obtained control of the Southern State
governments, resolved to crush out Re.
publicanism in that section even though
it had to be done by bloodshed, and she
has etfectually done it. If the Repub-
licans were permitted to vote at the
polls there would no. be so much
cause of complaint even if they were
defeated, but SO completely have they
been stamped out that they dare make
no attempt to re-organize without jeop
ardizing their lives. All this has re.
suited in bringing into activity the old
feeling against the South, as is fully
shown by the elections that have al
ready been held. In 1866 the northern
states that voted for the Democracy
were Indiana, New York, Connection
and New Jersey. Since then all but In
diana have given large Republican ma
jorities, and should the same ratio o
Republican gains be kept up as they
have done in this fall's collections, In
diana will join the solid north. There
has been quite too much solid south in
the mixture of Democracy with which
it was proposed to govern the Union. Ii
was meant to do one thing and it has
done the other. 1t proposed a grand
victory for Democracy all over the
Union and it has ended in a grand de-
feat except in the solid South.
