THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1881—SIXTEEN te for the consideration of the Bicknolt wor sattants they could not be taken up It alt ithe Republicans and Greenbackers should refuse to yotu,even If all the Democrats were present. ‘The Deméeratic tenders are making “gtrenttous efforts to bring all their followers to Wasliington, but their success fs doubtful. Somb of the Vempernts who wera not re- elected appear to have lost all Interest in tho sproceciings of the House, aud several are re- ‘ported tu have emphatically refused to como to Washington fur the sike of what they profanely eall ‘“A D—D AnsTRaction,” These men are reported to have replied to allappents: " Whiatis tho uso? Gurlieid {4 elected, and thatis tho end of tt. if we were to adopt the Becknill resolutions, it would make no difference, so far ns the counting of ‘the Hlectoral_yotes this winter is concerned, Tand tho next Iouse of Representatives beta : Republtean, would promptly renenl the res- Solutions, 13 they would lave the power to rdo.” Meanwhile, tha Republicans remain rot in the determination they formed at tho Tbeginning of this session, not to allow tho resolutions to be adopted if they can pre- vent It, E THEY WAVE TWO GOOD REASONS for maintaining this altttude. In the first ‘place, they aro onposedt to the creation of ‘stich a precedent as the adoption of these “resolutions would establish. ‘Chey ilectaro that tho resolutions go much further than the old ‘I'wenty-second Joint Rute ald, whieh “was mailo to meet an emergeney caused by ithe Rebellion, aud whien was, therefore, : distinetlvely a war measitre, In the second tplace, the Republleans say ‘that the Demo- etats would not attempt to force tho adoption - of the resolutions now, were it not that they . havo some witurlor purpesa in view with re- #ard tothe counting of the Electoral yotes -hext month, Of course, THE DEMOCRATS DENY any such purpose, but their record for politi- ent honesty fs such that the Republicans are afraid to trust them, ‘Chere are signs that tho Democrats will make an attempt, as soon as the Refundiag bill and one more appropria- * tion bill are disposed, to call up and pass the Electoral count resolution. ‘Thuy will find the Republicans on the alert to provent it, if * they can do 80, HOW ANSENTERISM AFFECTS THE QUESTION. . r since the Democrats have had a nia- jority in the House of Representatives they have suffered from absenteclsm. ‘Chere were times In the Forty-fourth Congress (when they had a majority of eighty) that it was impossible to gota quorum, Republicaus of course refusing to vote, Before tho recont recess the Democrats made earnest efforts to pass the Bicknell joint rule for regulating tho Electoral count, but lacked a quoruin for that purpose. They had hoped that, after the recess, the evil would be cured by the re-. - turn of members, but a roll-eall on Wednes- day showed 110 = members —_nbsent or not-voting. There are now at least 100 « members absent, alarge majority of whom are Democrats, It has been decided, In this . emergency, to hold : é , A CAUCUS to-morrow night to devise some means of compelling the absentees to return. One of the plans suggested ts to grant no more leaves of absenca except for sickness, nid ‘bring back any man now absent whe ts ab- sent without leave. This remedy {6 In ac- cordance with the rules. ‘The Demoerntic leaders begin to fear that thoy will not only not bo nble to pass the Bicknell resolution, but will perhaps tail to pass other measures oftiecessary legislation, and thereby make . an extra session unavoidable. ‘his they are EXTREMELY UNWILLING TO DO, ns they would lose the patronage of the Huuse several months earlier by such 9 Dlunder, ‘Tho system of “pairing” ty re- sponsible in Inrgo part. for this ovil at the . bresent thme, ‘Thera are forty-eight pairs. One of tho objects of. the caucus iy to do away with “pairing ” for tho rest of the ses- sion. Sixty-two of tho absentecs, however, are not “paired.” Almost all of them were away withoutleave. Some of these absentecs are rarely or never seen here, New Jersey hos three Democratic members, The Demo- ernts of the Stato ro renily represented by ‘one, Oneoft them’ is trying to keep out of the Penitentiary, Dickey, of Ohio, has not been here this session; nelther hap Elam, of Loulsiann, nor Ewing, of Ohio.
