K H crease the dlQiculty The professed purp030
K B of federal control was to secure a fair negro

K H for the republican party Tlio proposition
K B was such a menace to the rights of the pee
K H pic that it must meet with the condemnation

ute nil party differences to that end ami pur-
pose There was no safety for them in

cnticus was called to order this evening by
-Honderson of Illinois Speaker Heed
entered Into-a detailed ox-planntton of the
changes proposed to boinndoln tbo old rules
The greatest harmony characterised the
proceedings It was evident , however ,
according to Reeds stuteuiont , that the
new code could not bo made rnady for
the action tf ) tbo house for several dayB to
como even should it be desirable to report it
cnrllor Morover , tboro was an opinion
entertained by many memlwrs to the effect
thut more positive progress could bo achieved
in the disposition of contested election cases
without , the rules than with It
was felt by some of these members
that after u safe working majority
had been secured under the operations
of general parliamentary law the rigidity
nf the new cede ml Lilt bo relaxed with
benefit and tha republicans might thus bo
relloved from the necessity of enacting a
cede which , In time , might perhaps bo felt by
themselves In full force Having thus
prncticallv reached a decision thnt election
cases shall bo considered before tbo
cede ot rules was adopted , tha ques
tion of ways n-fd moans nroso nnd
there was n long discussion , which
was simply a rellox of Individual views ns to
the possibility of securing una maintaining a
quorum of republicans to meet tbo demo
• cratlo opposition , which , it was expected ,
would take thn shape jif a refusal to vote It
was llnnlly determined that at least four re
publican members could not bo rolled upon
to answer to their names If tbo democrats
came to the conclusion to I filibuster Two
of these nro absent on account
of sickness , ono on nccount of
slclcness in his family , end ono
absent without letting his whereabouts bo
known According to this count , if every
thing favors the majority , and if no member
falls ill or is called tuvuy , they will have a
bare quorum Nevertheless , the election
case of Smith vs Jacksou will bo called up
Wortnosdiiy nnd fully debated from a double
motive first , to lay the foundation for n
speedy disposition of other contests , nnd ,
second , to gain tlmo in which to secure the
uttendailco of absent members
A resolution by Howell wns adopted , to
tbo effect that every republican member
should remain in the city except in cisa of
sickness , nnil nil should remain in the hall
during the timotho iiouso was in session un
less prevented by sickness
There was sotuo show of opposition to the
proposed changes in the rules which tend to
