N OAH 625 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, GooDs! & 2 s-veral Congresses, her of the elections committee, says that durin ius period of service | On: man contested from the pd dts | trictaseat In three succeeding Congresses. He Was allowed, in each cas¢, a Meral Dill for ex- | penses, but on tie last occasion, after having | positively ascertained that he gad never hada | ¥ «lid elakin to a seat, but hail really made his con- , tests because they were profitable to him, the committee warned him that any future contest must be at his own cost. “He never con- | tested again,” added the Senator, “and if I had had my way he would hot have received a dime of allowance for his last contest.” The committees having charge of con | tested cases secfh to become imbued with a spirtt | of sympathy for the min whom they are bound to | deny a seat, and they recommend a Uberal allow- | uses asa balm tothe poor | jow's disappolntment, There have been cas°s in which the majority took for its party a seat it Was not entitled to, aceordiny to the evidence and the votes Phe majority would then attempt to repair t one to an individual by giv- ing hima good sum out of the Treasury. The Tecommendations of the committees, in these cases, are usually adopted, as the whole body, be it House or S-natA@annot very well examine in‘o the merits of the claims. There fs not an in- siligent member of the present House, perhaps, who will not xdmit that one-fourth, to say the least, of the election contests it has had to deal’ with had no merit, and would not have been en- tered upon had th» contestant knuwn that defeat ‘would entail the costs upon himself. — —<o>—____ Senator Jones, of Nevada, has made public a statement, embracing both facts and oplnion, of an old Russtan employe of the Alaska Fur com- Pany, in relation to the Jeannette expedition. ‘This person, a Captain Nerbaum, was the last who supplied the Jeannette with such things as they required for their pertlous venture in the Arctic seas. Captain Nerbaum thinks De Long and his Party lost their lives through ignorance of the means by which he could move through the coun- try. This man’s statement fs not only of interest s revealing the mistakes made by De Long from & want of that knowledge of the country through Which he was seeking to make his way, but {tno doubt throws light on former failures of similar expeditions. The knowledge De Long and his Party lacked could only have been acquired by Practical experience in the Arctic regions; by a Yesidence there long enough to stuly and become Secquainted with the habits and customs of the People. Itis not any reflection upon De Long to Ampute this sort of ignorance to him. For instance, Captain Nerbaum maintains that De Long’s great- mistake was in allowing his dogs to be killed to leave him, and in falling to take tnstead of rifles, = sutta- for killing birds. These dogs, trained as they are in that region, are the chief dependence Of the people, espectally cut off, by any means, or shot-guns, | and fine assortment of Ladies AFFORD THE SEEKER AFTER HOLIDAY PRES- ENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SELECT AN ARTI- WHICH CANNOT FALL TO BE A LASTING PLEASURE.
