Moran , in the circuit court , yesterday ,
denied the application of May Sam ,

ing his opinion on the revltvd statutes
which permit only white persona and

this is in harmony with the rulings of

the committee of the whole , appropri
ating $200,000 for establishing coaling

minutes the house .vn called to order
ts Monday's session , resulting in the

On motion of Mr. Warner the house

itrncting commisuonars on the part of
the United States at conference to be
called to adopt a common ratio be
tween gold aud silver , to agree to no
adjus'ment which does not recognize
sliver colu as a psrt of the money sys
tem of governments joinii.g said con
ference. Said amendment was in con
flict with the original proposition au
thorlzlng the appointment of commis
sioners.
Separata votes were taken on appro
priations for the payment of expenses
of oonteited election cases , aud all
were allowed except McCaba's , who
contested Orth , ana WiUon's contest
ant from Iowa. The bill then passed.
Considerable time wai occupied In
submitting reports and unimportant
buslneea. Most of tbe reports were
tn&dd by the pension committee.
Mr. Reigan then moved to suspend
th rules and take op the river and
harbor bill from the speaker's table.
The motion was agreed to by 175
to 46 , tro thirds voting In the affirm

h > en ses 'i.iU l. Bu .irgued that un
til that bmL.ess waa disposed of the
house could not go to tbe table except
by suspension of the rules.
The speaker said there was no
doubt that the apportionment bill
was unfinished business , and the
main question had been ordered , but
it can scarcely be considered as ordi
nary unfinlshedbuslness in view of the
cord tion of the bill , for by consent
it was waived , and five gentlemen
from each side wnre appointed to con
sider the subject , besides that gentle
man in charge of the bill.
Pending discussion on tbemotlon to
take np the apportionment bill Mr.
Conger moved to take a recess until
9 o'clock.
The motion wai rejected , although
this evening hai been assigned for the
Wood ceremonies. This bill is re
garded as the beginning of a fight on
the funding bill , and for that reiaon
the motion was resisted.
In order to consume time the rol
was called , and on a motion to ad
journ by Mr. Conger neatly everybody
voted against It , and at 6:35 : the
house took a recess until 8 p. m.

field.ssys :
Gen. Garfield and family arrived at
the depot at Mentor at 12:45 : , and
were received with great enthusiasm
by the throng of friends and neighbors
leathered there to receive them. A
thousand or more citizens of the vicin
ity had ventured out through the cold ,
raw wind which was blowing and occa
sional snow flake , and cutting to the
very marrow , to do homsge to their
neighbor president. A very credlta-
} le brass band from Lane , a little
neighboring town , did the honors of
; he occasion. The people who stood
patiently in the cold w nd , for an hour
or more , waiting for the General'd ar
rival , were at length rewarded by his
appoaranc3 , and received him with
.ho greatest enthusiasm. There wi ,
first , a long speech by Mr. Tinker ,
and a shott one by Gan. Garfield ,
cheers by the crowd , a snatch of music ,
a rush for the train by the reporters ,
and wo were off.
Tfio time of starting was promptly
at 1 p. m. Mr. Tinker , in a speech ,
congratulated Mr. Gtrliold on being
called to so honored a position i po
sition honored by Washington and
sanctified by the life blood of Lincoln ,
tie reminded him that his selection to
the poaitiou was au honor greater than
even thu ordinary honor of this land ,
'or he was selected rather than H
mm who had baun honored with the
; ruatost honors , civil and military ,
, hat the nation can beatow He ex
pressed the hope that he would receive ,
n carrying out thn duties of the occa
sion , tlmt higher aid upon which ho
lad always placel reliance , and which
could be the only hope of success.
Gen. Garfietd replied as follows :
"FELLOW CITIZENS : I thank yon
or this cordial and kindly farewell
greeting. You have come from homi-s
; han which there are no happier in the
country homes on this beautiful
lake city , full of everything that is
needed to make country life comfort
able and happyto give me your bliss-
Inn and a kind farewell. You do not
know how much I am leaving behind
of friendship and homo happiness ,
but I do. I feel that to you I am
much indebted for your confidence
and kindness a confidence and kind
ness both politically and personally
that It is the lot of few men to ex
perience. You have , I feel , no
higher political desire than the gcod j
of yonr country. You have no schemes
or enterprises that are not wet thy of' '
the best citizens of a republic ; and if
I were to search all the world I would '
Bud no better models of political and
moral Integrity than here among my
neighbors and supporters in this county - ,
ty and district ; and daring the eighteen
years I have known you , I must es
pecially thank my neighbors of Men
tor and thh county for kindness to
me , which haa been constant and un
tiring. I go supper ted by a sense of
yonr confidence and love. Friends ,
neighbors , constltutents , farewell. "
