Mr. Me- Millnn presented resolutions from ihu legislature of Minnesota regarding sheer booms at railroad bridges across tlio Mis sissinpt. Bills introduced : By Mr. Cullom To provide for the acceptance by the United States of the Illinois and Michi gnu o.inal from Illinois. 15y Mr. Ingalls To provide for the appointment of a commission to investi gito railroad transportation. By Mr- Logan To consolidate the bureau of military justice and corps of judges advocate of the army The bill creating now standard time for the District of Columbia , passed. Mr. Van \Vyck ollered a resolution calling on the secretary of the interior for information as to how much land has been certified or patented for the benefit of railroad companies since the decision of the supreme court in 187" , which so 1 construed the indemnity clause of the congressional grant as to allow indemnity lands only in lieu of lands'originally included - -cluded in the grant , but which was after wards sold. Laid over till to-morrow. The senate resumed consideration of the unfinished business , the rules. Mr. Fryo withdrew his call for the years and nays on the substitute for the clause of the first rule relating to the three days limitation of authority of vice- presidents. The clause was then rejected , whicl leaves the rule about as heretofore , bu when the rule comes up in the sonatt when not in committee of the whole tin subject may bo renewed. The second rule was read as follows : Tlitf senate may elect a secretary , cliio clerk , principal executive clerk , chaplain , sor- geant-nt-arins and assistant door-keoper , t < continue in ollicu. until successors arc chosen , each of whom shall take the oat prescribed by law before entering nu the dutie of the oliico. The secretary and serRoaut-at anna shall each appoint the employe.- ) hi : department , unless otherwise directed. Mr. Fryo said this simply formulate ! into a rule what had heretofore boon tin practice of the senate. Mr. Garland thought there was no no cesstty for such a rule. Mr. Bayard considered the rule opci to objection. Ho said hohad a stron ; belief in civil service reform , and , if In did not much mistake the temper of th American people , they intend to liav such reform , and are not going to be con tent with men elected to office by vena machinery. In other words , the countr ; was not going to bo run by political ma c'n'nes built upon and supported plitical offices. "I do not want , " In "ntinned , "to see offices filled witha so of men who are nothing but office brok ers and wire pullers. " The second rule was disagreed to. Several eral new rules wore agreed to after som o amendments in details. A clause in th o fifteenth rule gave rise to debate , Messrs , Bayard , Beck , McPherson , Shermai i , Ingalls and Jones participating , and the clause was finally rejected. The senate then took up the house concurrent resolution for a holiday re cess , which was amended so as to make Monday , January nth , the date of re assembling. As amended , the resolution was agreed to and rotuinod to the house. After an executive session the senate adjourned. IIOUSK. Mr. Scales presented the certificate of election of Mr. Hkiimur , representative- elect from the First district of North Carolina. Mr. Koifer offered a resolution refer ring Mr. Skinner's credentials to the committee on elections , with instructions to examine all the facts pertaining to the vacancy Ho contended there could bo no vacancy in the district Mr. or claimed to represent. To admit him ino would leave one county without representation oYO sentation , while another would have two representatives. Mr. Scales urged that Skinner repre sented an invulnerable prima facie case. Mr. Springer contended that the elec tion of Skinner was in accordance with lie laws of the state. Mr. Mills defended Skinner's right toe a seat. Mr. Belford said that in the blazing ? light of the 19th century ho thought the , republican and democratic parties could afford to bo honest. Each endured as the fortune of parties alternated. A large number of political outrages had been practiced on both sides , and it was idle to conceal their commitment. Now the gentlemen came to this house claiming U 7 be tl 3 representative elect from Nortl Carolina and bearing the certificate ol the governor of the state. It was his deliberate liberate judgment that the gentlemtii should be sworn in on the prima facie case whether ho was a democrat , green backer or republican. lie thought tin position of the gentleman from Ohu ( Keifor ) unsound and could bo ovoreomi with purely logical reasoning and if tin house set itself up to repudiate cortifi- cites of the governors of the respectiyt states it was commiUiiifjamostwoful mis tago into which ho for one did not pro POM to drop. After a long discussion Mr tcifor having withdrawn his ri-no rJutioii3 Mr. Skinner was uirorn in , Mr. Keifor renewed his resolution , IJu Mr , Iliscock offered a substitute for tin immediate swearing in of .Skinner , nd reference of the main question of thocasi to the committee on elections , with in atructions to report quickly. Mr. Hiacoik said itwas dangerous to < question the prima facto right of a nai to a seat , and warned the republican that if Mr. Keifer's reaolution nu adopted , the result would bo that no re port would bo made before the end of the session , whereas the committee on elec tions could in n short time report on the questions involved in his substitute. Mr. lliscock's substitute was ngrood to yeas 117 , nnys 103. The bulk of the democrats voted in the negative , and the republicans in the ntlirmativc. The original resolution , as amended , was agreed to. Mr. Morrison ollered a concurrent resolution for n holiday recess from Mon day , December 2-lth until Thursday , January 5JJ. Agreed to , 111 ! to 21 , with the understanding that -business bo transacted Monday except Iho appoint ment of committees. Mr. Blackburn , from the committee on rules , reported n resolution for the creation of the following select commit tees , with the same membership as was accorded similar committees by the last congress : Civil service reform , law re specting election of president and vice president , payment of pensions , bounty iiud back pay , public health and ventila tion , and acoustics of the hall of repres entatives. Mr. Blackburn also introduced n reso lution for the creation of a committee on American ship building and the ship owning interest , to consist of seven mom- bew , which shall investigate the causes of the decline of the American foreign carrying trade. Mr. Uocd offered an amendment for the creation of a committee on the alco holic liijuor trallic. Mr. Mills expressed objections to sumptuary laws , and in quired whether congress could legislate on what a man should eat or drijik. Mr. Vance replied that it was not the object ot the amendment , which only 1 joked to getting information on a sub ject which interested every human being on the continent. The sentiment of tlio people should bo respected , and this congress ought to know the facts about intemperance , which wrecked HO many households in the land , lie hoped the representatives of the people would ac cord the friends of humanity , justice , mercy and happy homes the right to bo heard , and extend lo the people an op portunity to gather information on a subject of such tremendous importance [ Applause. ] It did not follow neces sarily that there should bo a prohibitory law. law.Mr. Mr. Bandell had no hesitation in stat ing that ho had voted for the creation ol a committee on the alcoholic liquor traf fic , llo never favored sumptuary legis lation anywhere , and did not know thai lie ever would , but there ought tobo _ the widest latitude in behalf of the right ol petition. People who are interested ii and agitate the subject have a right to bo heard , and to that extent ho was willing to take the consequences and vote in tl'o airinnative , in order that they might bo heard. [ Applause. ] Mr. Blackburn ovprcssed himself ii favor of the widest range of the right of petition , but that was not the ques tion presented. The question was whether there should bo a special committee mitteo raised to investigate the liquo trallic and for nothing else. Mr. Mills said ho was as much in favo of temperance as the gentlmon fron North Carolina and Pennsylvania ( Vanci and llandall ) , but was not one of thos < who believed in great.truths being propp catedlfy legislative decrees. "He ii bo < in the footsteps of the fathers who Jioli the cardinal fact that all great' improve iiients in apience , religion and moral come from the brain and conscience , am not from a whip on the back. The gen tleman from North Carolina oulpgizei temperance , and anathematized intern porance. llo would have drawn stronger parallel had ho told the glory the Christian religion. It had laid th track for the advance of civilization , bul would a member ask congress to delin orthodoxy ? Should it appoint a committee mitteo to enquire whether the Mothodis Presbyterian or Baptist was the ortho dox faith. The amendment WHS adopted , yea 1-13 , nayaSS. On motion of Mr. Willis an amem mont was adopted increasing the men bership of the select committees froi one to three members each over the las congress number. The original resolution as amended was then agreed to. Mr. Blackburn also reported resolu tions for raising the standing committee on labor to which shall bo referred meas ures affecting labor ; limiting the juris diction of the committee on education - and labor and providing it shall here after bo known as the committee on edu cation. Mr. O'Neal asked the house to dignify the cause of labor by creating a commit tee on thu biibject. It had bettor bo done or it might bo a vent through which the feelings of this element would reach the law-making pownr. Had any body over heard of the committee on education getting down and having sym pathy with working men ! Those upper air and solar-walking gentlemen did not . know what workingmen wanted. [ Laugh ter. ! Mr. Blackburn's resolution was adopted. Mr. Koifer , from the committee on rules , reported without recommendation a resolution for the appointment of a committee on woman suH'rago. Laid over till to-morrow , Mr. Calkins offered a resolution , which was adopted , calling on the secretory of slate for all communications , documents and papers in his possession rolatin'g to the conviction and execution of the late 'Patrick O'Donnull by the British ? government. The senate amendment to the recess resolution was concurred in. - The speaker appointed IJoblitxell Caboll , Wilson ( W. Vn. ) , Kasson and Long members of the special committee - on the centennial anniversary of Washing i ton's .surrender of his commission nn com- mandor-iii'Chicf of the army. Adjourned , - CAPITAL NOTKS. , Till : IIOUSB COJIMITTKKH , . WASHINGTON , December ! ! . A num ber of the friends of Speaker Carlisle , min . private conference this morning , though : - it best for the speaker to defer appoint' ing committees until Monday noxt. It was understood that the committees could bo named to-morrow , but by fixing hoity hey dnto of their appointment on Monday the speaker would have an opportunity to avoid all minor errors that might In made by an earlier announcement. As i result of the conference it was decided that Colonel Morrison should announce in the resolution referring to the holiduj recess that when the house assemble * - Monday morning no busbies * shal bo transacted , but the list of commitcos shall bo read. As yet no authoritative statement as to the make up of the committees can be made. Spec ulation , however , is freely indulgedin by various members , Tito ways and means committee , these members say , will of course bo composed of men who enter tain the same ideas as Carlisle on the tarilf. Morrisonis acknowloilgedbyall to bo chairman of the committee on ways and means , llaudall continues to be the most prominently spoken of as chairman of the committee on appropriations. T'io speaker oncountersd some difficulty in determining the heads of the committee on foreign relations and committee on agriculture. It is generally believed that Cox , of Now York , will bo made chair man of the former and Hatch , of Mis souri , chairman of the latter. Carlisle , in an interview to-day , said the list of ommittecs being sent out by spccinlsare for the most part merely speculative. Till ! HOO'S PHK.SKXT AND FUTHIK. Mr. Curtis , a member of the commis sion appointed by the president to in- vestgate diseases among swine has re turned from thu west and submitted his report to Commissioner Luring , llo visited all the great packing houses in Chicago and also examined the condition of hogs on farms. Ho reports a great deal less disease among western swine than reported. So fnr as feeding is con cerned ho is satisfied it is conducted in a manner conducive to the health of the animals and declares that there is abso lutely no foundation for the reports cir culated to the effect that hogs are fed on offal from slaughter houses and farms. Ho expresses the opinion that two inspectors specters at each packing house will bo sufficient to thoroughly inspect all pork for foreign or domestic markets. The report states that western people were found extremely anxious for the adoption of an efficient system for the inspection of pork , so that they , na well as foreign markets , will bo protected against trichina- and similar diseases. Therefore they are willing to co-operate heartily with every attempt made by the government to give American pork a good reputation , based upon its thor oughly good quality. His suggested to Commissioner Loring that western hogs might bo improved by the infusion of now blood of good quality , as the close "in and ill" breeding pursued so _ many years , as is especially the case with Po land China hogs , tends to increase the production of fat and somewhat enervate the condition of thu animal. The full commission to investigate the diseases of American swine will be called together in the department of agriculture about the middle of January next. Commissioner Loring has no doubt that they will bo ready to report at that time. TllKATY AllllOllATIOX.

Chairman Pledgar , of Atlanta , called the the committee to order. Twelve slates and the District of Columbia responded to the roll call. The chairman Utcd cdm that since the mooting of the convention the civil rightii decision of the supreme court had caused considerable agitation among colored people , and this , no [ doubt , would incidentally aflect the dis cussions of the present meeting , but members should not lose sight of the main principles enunciated at the Louisville villo convention. Ho suggested that a sub-committee l-o appointed to draw up a memorial to the present congress , alsc ono to recommend a policy in regard tc politics. Fred Douglas came in during the discussion and naid the public mind was largely divided on the recent deci sion of the supromu court , and ho there fore would suggest if n nnanimiouf decision was possible by the committee , to endorse the dissenting opinion of Justice tico Marian , and it would be a graccfn thing for the committee to take such 1C- - turn.

The fight was between Flood and Sharon , who are anx ious to possess Iho mine. The election was the most exciting since the great Halo and Norcrosso light inelSOSlion shares in that mine rose to' $8,000. The capital stock of the Ophir nii'no is § 10 , . 800,000 , in shares of S10Q each. The real fight was to obtain possession of the milling ore , in which all the profits lay. I'ntil this morning the general belief was that Slmron had succeeded in cap turing the mine. This was strengthened by the known fact that Secretary - rotary McCoy , who married Sharon's niece , was ' going to vote his 1,100 proxies in Sharon's inter est. At midday the Novada'fbank block was surrounded by an oagfcr crowd , anxious to learn the probable result of the voting , which commenced at 1 o'clock. At 2:110 : o'clock , IMcliardson , of the Bank of California , appeared , hold ing Sharon's certificates anil proxies. Ho voted solid 47,105 shares for Sharon , and Morrow cnst 1,750 votes for .Sharon on the proxies of II. S. King , the mining broker. At this point of the balloting a great surprise- came , as one of the Flood party immediately reduced this vote for Sharon down to only ten by producing the other 1,7-10 shares of actual stock just purchased. Three sim ilar occurrences followed this dccoptini on the part of Sharon's followers. The treachery of his friends resulted , at five o'clock , fatally to Sharon in the great contest. The count of votoa at thathour showed that Flood had received f)0)22 ) ! ) , against Sharon's 49,751. Every share was voted except 127. The state law calls for seven trustees , and a inutuaT agreement prior to the contest was mad that four trustees vrcro to gpto the win ning side and three to tlio losing. E.
