While that subsequent osnvaas would

sot feel at liberty to regard anything as

The Slate of Iowo being reaohed, the

memberswboie names appeared there.
TOf, had pretented certificates duly
signed by tha Governor, and the question
whether the election bad or had not been
held oo the day fixed by law was one
which Ihe clerk did not feel called upon
la decide; bnt which the Honsa itself,
when organized, could deoide.

that Mr. Hull be sworn iu. Mr. Frye
moved as a substitute a resolution resit-
iog that the credentials of Hall had been
annulled and made void by a judgment
of the Supreme Court of Florida, and that
the State board of canvassers had declared
and certified that Bisbee had been duly

Washington, March 18.—Tho Speaker
on taking the chair, aldressed the House
r.s follows:
Representaliccs—By your vote i am ele
vated for the third time to the exalted
office cf Speaker of the House. For this
evidence of y ur approval and confidence
I offer you my heartfelt thanks. The
responsibilities and duties imposed upon
me are heavy and difficult. With the
blessing of God I shall discharge them
without personal bias or ignoble partisan-
ship, observing strict impartiality as to
men, measures, parties and sections. It
will be to me unspeakable joy if I can
help to bring about that substantial, fra
ternal union which comos alone through
wisdom, moderation and justice. The
new Congress meets in its first session
under a call of the President. Owing to
the irreconcilable differences npon vital
issues, important and necessary appro
priation bills failed to pass at the pre
vious session. Then the politios.l senti
ment of tbe two houses was
antagonistic. It is now in complete
aocord. This House, freeh from the
people, brings with it their latest will.
We aro here for each legislation as their
necessities, welfare and honor demand.
That will as expressed by the majority in
calm and deoorous form, let ns hope wilt
meet with universal acceptance. More
over tho oonntry expects of this Congress
that it will wiasly and dsliberately legis
late to remove burdens that have too long
weighed upon the patriotism and prosperi
ty of tho people.and with the forvtnt hope
that tha spirit as well as tho letter of the
constitution shall be the osntrolling In
fluence in directing such legislation.
The caso of Oliver va. Cameron was

aho once lived a3 his wife,appeared la the
court room. She recognized him, but
claims that she was divorced. Letters in

the widow wo3 persistent in endeavoring
in having Mr. Camerons provide for her

Ltnchbuso, Va., March 13.—The
United Suites Come for the Western Dis
trict of Virginia commenced its seseioa
to-day. Judge Rives in his charge to the
grand jury on the snbject of mixed juries
and the indictment of county JudgeS for
failure to provide them, saiit ‘‘Prominent
among'these acts is tho one I now desiro
to give yon in charge, it is the act of
March 1st, 1875. It assures to ail. with
out discrimination of race or color, the
full and equal- enjoyment of accommo
dations and privileges of inns, public
conveyances, theatres and other places of
amusement, and provides exemptary re
dress for dental thereof; but it does not
stop here—these are the lesser matters ot
law, which indeed it scrupulously guards
and protects—hut it goes further, ana
embraces tbe great muniment of life and
liberty in preserving the trial by an im
partial jury, and confirms the grand pre
cept that no man shall be deprived of hia
liberty .except.by the laws of the land or
the jadgment of his peers. This act,
therefore, secareB bj its fourth clause, tq
the lately enfranchised race the inestim
able privilege of having their rights
and privileges tried by jurors not subject
to traditional kflaeooes and spirit of
caste. This is a great praotical good which
this law seek- to seoare, end as euoh de
serve your earnest attention ia the tn-
qiee: with whioh I now oharge you ; bat
it moat be admitted it* soope is broader.
It Is well for you to oonsider its language.
I s in these words: “That no citizsn
possessing all other qualifications wbioh
eie or may be presonoed by law sball be
disqualified for serTloe as grand or petit
jnrors in aoy court of the United States
or of any State on adoount of rare, color or
previous condition of servitude, and any
officer or other person with any dnty in
the selecting or summoning of jurors who
shall exclude or fail to summon any etti-
ejq for tne cause aforesaid, shall, on con
viction thereof, be deemed gailty of a
misdemeanor and De fined not more than
five thousand dollars.” It so happens
that nnder State lawn the duty of making
out and returning lists is devolved upon
ths judges of the county and corporation
courts.—(Code of Virginia, sec. 3, chap.
157, p. 1059 ) The act in qumtion has
therefore to deal with these officers. It
is at this point Congress intervenes and
constrains them by penalties to observe
the provisions which have naturaUy
grown out of the 14.h amendment. The
offense thne denounced conna'.s in the
exotualon by these offioera from their jury
lists of qualified citizens because of ttaeir
race, color or previous condition of servi
tude. Tne motive makes and constitutes
tne misdemeanor. It mav be difficult to
prove it. It is not given you to know
what passes in the mind of another, but,
like all unlawful intents, evidence of it
may ba found in the presumption of facts.
When this intent has been declared,
or when a demand of a lawful
jury, without this discrimination, has
been refased the offense wonld be clearly
mads ont, provided yon believe the wit
ness to the declaration or dental; bm
so oh indubitable proof may not often be
expeoted. You must look to the anr-
rounding oitcumstanoes of the case, and
tbe overt ae.s of the parties, to fix the fn-
tontioaof ths lat'er iu this unlawful ex
clusion. If it should appear to you that
such officer has, by a long and nnvaryiog
course, refased to admit to his lists the
names of colored persons duly qualified,
you would bo compelled to aocept this
conduct as evidence of bis guilt, indict
him for the offense, and giva b m tha op
portunity to repel those strong presump
tions of fao:s against him.
If, on tha contrary, it shall appear that
these officers have sometimes listed or
offered to summon, when asked, juries
without this discrimination of race, you
wonld scarcely be justified to'impute this
unlawful iutent to such occasional omis
sion. It is in my view tho habitual neg
lect or epecial'denial in civil or criminal
suits involving antipathies of race that
is aimed at by this act of Congress. I
trust it will be sufficient for the ends of
public justice that attention should be
attracted to this law by your findings.
caonot and do not sueptec
theso officers of obstinate or
dcterminrd;disobedlen3o to.law. That may
bo determined by the fature. It is tbs
observance of the law and not punish
ment fer its violation that is sought.
This inquisition has already taken place
ia courts at Danville.- It remains for you
now to proseents it in the-connties repre
sented on yonr panel, leaving the grand
juries of other courts to resume it in their
parts. If it sball be found here, as at
Danville, that soma obey and some diso
bey the law, you must needs chose ba*
tween them. Both cannot bo right. If
you excuse disobedience you reflect on
ths obedient. It is yonr duty to enforce
a uniform obedience and exact a univer
sal respect for the laws.
If this shall be faithfully and fearlessly
done thronghout my-whole district, it
will arrest future resorts to the Federal
conrts, for a denail in this respect of tbe
equal protection of the laws, and leave
tbe State courts in the full and free exer
cise of their appropriate jurisdiction; but
if this be not done, and a plain duty is
evaded under artfully devised and mis-
plaoed scruples as to th9 law, you will be
fomenting farther disorders and conflicts.
I am at a loss to conceive of any motive
on the part of the honorable and intelli
gent citizens to nndettske in any way to
obstruct the great organic measures to
which your faith as a people is plighted
in the most solemn manner, or thwart
the miB3ion of the general government in
all its departments to give equal protec
tion of laws to all its citizens without dis
tinction.
Calcutta, March 19.—The origin of
tbe tronble between the Bnrmeee and Brit

Fellow-Citizens on the Senate and
House or Representatives : —The fail
ure of the last Congress to make the req
uisite appropriation for Legislative and
judicial purposes, for the expenses of tho
several executive departments of the gov
ernments, and for tho Eupport of the
army, has made it neeessary to call a
special eession of the Forty-sixth Con-
gress. ,
The estimates of tho appropriations
needed which were srtt to Congress by
the Secretary of the Treaamry at the
opening of the last session, are renewed
and herewith transmitted to both the
Senate and the Homso of Representa
tive*. ,-
Regretting the existence of the emer
gency which requires a special eession of
Congress at a time when it is the general
jadgment of th- country that the pnblio
welfare will be best promoted by perma
nency in our legislation and by peace and
rest, I commend these few. necessary
measure* to your considerate -t iention.

VioksNub# ,March 19.—A shcoting
ffair occurred last night between Capt.
W. F. Fitzgerald, on one aide, and W. L.
Andrews and W. L. Greene. Andrews
and Greene were killed almost instantly,
and Fitzgerald dangerously wounded.
The difficulty originated abont the Hi-
bsrnian meeting on Monday night, at
wbioh Andrews was eleoted president.
Fitzgerald claimed still to be president
of the Hibernian Society, and denoun
ced the election of Andrews as a farce.
Greene objected to Fitzgerald's remarks
and threatened to draw his weapon, bat
Fitzgerald drew first and shot Greene
through the heart. Andrews then shot
Fitzgerald, who, in tarn, shot Andrews,
the ball piercing Andrews* skull at the
top of the forehead. All were well
known citizens. Andrews was head • f
the firm of Andrews A Bro.,
and was president of the Ho wax!
Association afeer Mr. Rockwood'e deuth
last summer. W. L. Greene was a cUik
to Andrews* brother. Fitzgerald is a
prominent lawyer, and was onoe a Re
publican District Attorney. Andrews
and Greene were natives of Vicksburg,

London, March 19.—In his speech in
the Reichstag Monday Herr Liebkneoht,
Socialist, contended that Hoedel and No-
bltng, the wonld be assassins of the Em
peror, were not Socialists. The Social
ists, he said, were convinced that the
progress of bistory and the triumph of
their philanthropio programme, conld
not be impeded by tbe existence of any
Bingle individual. Their societies might
be dissolved and their journals suppress
ed, yet tuey would cling to their tenets.
The middle classes would Boon perceive
what they ready ought to decide was the
guvernment'a drilled barrack system. If
the government could prove thp connec
tion of German Socialists with ths at
tempts on the lives of the King of Spain
and Italy, he would aocept the anti-So-
cialists law. Government should itself
be placed at the bar for imposing a state
of siege rather than the Socialist The
remaining seated when the Emperor was
being oheered was no insalt, bnt merely
a dnty which the Socialists owed to their
political conviotiona.
London, Maroh 19.—The order for the
day passed by the Frenoh Chamber of
Deputies on Thursday, censuring the De
Brogho and Ronchebouet’s cabinets was
placarded throughout Paris yesterday.
President Grev< has returned to the
senders, the protest for the Ronchobouet
Cabinet against the vote of cen
sors passed on them, with a cart cote,
saying that he conld not receive it.
The Menittur of Paris understands that
the DeBrogbe Cabinet intends to contest
the legality for the vote of censnre be
fore the Connoil of State. The Times'
correspondent at Paris, states that it is
difficult to see bow tho Council could take
cognizance in the matter.
London, Maroh 19.—Tbs situation at
Szegeden gradually Is improving. The
population bears np bravely against their
misfortunes. The Emperor, Franois Jo
seph, and Hera Ttsga, the Hungarian
premier, passed through tho town ia
boats on Mocdsy. Eight thousand two
hundred ont of the ten thousand houses
in the town have fallen, and nineteen hun
dred persons have been drowned. The

Lahore, March 19.—There is no fresh

Washington, March 19.—Representa
tive Sparks, of Illinois, a member of the
House Committee on Appropriations, of
last session, haa been authorized by pro
minent Democratic members of the pres
ent Congress to sabmit to tbe House, at
the first practicable moment, the army
appropriation bill and call for its imme
diate consideration. The bill, as it will
be reported by Mr, Sparks, is identical
in its provisions with that passed by the
last House, and which failed of enactment
in consequence of the incorporation
therein of tho clause prohibiting the pre
sence of troops at the polls on election
days. It ia anticipated by prominent
members of the last Committee on Appro
priations that there will be little or no
delay at this time in securing tho passage
of tho army bill, including tho previous
objectionable clause. It iu stated on
good authority that tho present intention
of the former members of the committed
on appropriations aud leading members
of the House is to obviate the necessity
of organizing of tho regular committees
during the extra session by pursuing
tho course of the legislative, executive
and judicial appropsiation hiil which
also failed to became a law at the last
session.
