The Commissioner flakes a Few Cliur acicri-otic lteiuarks About Sffis Klec tiou. "I have not read Mr. Follett'8 resolutions," re marked Commissioner Butterworth tills rnornini , to a Star reporter, "and only know in a genera way what they are about. I don't care to say any thing in regard to them until I know what exactl; | Is aimed at, I have no objections, however, to say intf that I am in favor of honest elections and every thing that conduces to a talr and proper detcrmi 1 nation of the will of the people. I know of no on In my district that was prevented from voting th democratic ticket. Mr. Lot Wright Is an hones man and a brave soldier, and I don't beileve tha l.e would be - uilty of any Improper act. As to Mi Follett's st atement that he had received more vote . than at the election two years ago, when he de icatedme for Congress, I have a letter from Mi Foliett, in answer to a congratulatory letter fron me at t he time. In which he states that it was no [ his victory so much as defection from me on accoun of my position on the temperanco question. Th vote polled at this election was fuller than it wa even four years ago, and hence M r. Foliett can shot a larger vote for himself, comparatively. The re ' turns, however, will show that I carried all th > wards by a greater majority than Mr. Foliett, ex cept In the river wards. There Mr. Follett's mei had absolute and unchecked control. , "I remember,' continued Mr. Butterworth, "tha four years ago a great howl and cry was ralsei over ray election, and a committee was sent out V make an Investigation. They went out, made th investigation, and returned, but never made a re port. The evidence did not materialize as it dl< here among the orators of Congress. I would hav given," added the commissioner, bringing his han down on the desk, "a month's salary to have beei on the floor of the House yesterday; but I neve answer a speaker from a crowd. He has the fiooi and the interrupter has not," "It seems to me, however," he went on, "tha the object of tills resolution, as I understand it, 1 to bring into question the utilization of C. s. mai shals at the polls. They have always maintains that the government nad no right to have such ofll cers at the electtons. I have always maintalne the contrary. In 1878, if you remember, the claimed that we members of Congress were simpl ambassadors sent by the states to take part In sort of conference held at the national capital. Th party has held that view in the past, and I suppos still continues to hold it, and this resolution wli ? serve to give ground lor legislation upon the sut ? ject and discussion." P i?> Ti?e Surgeon lienernl'* ISeport* - what he pats of cholera prevention, etc. r Surgeon General Hamilton, of the marine hospltr > service, in his annual report for the fiscal yea ended June 30,18S4, says it is estimated that ther will be a deficiency of at least one hundred an . seventy-five thousand dollars in the fund forth t support of the service by the end of the presen 1 fiscal year, caused by the abolition of the hosplta - tax by Congress Of the new hospitals authorize by the act of August 7, 1882, those of New Oriean and Cincinnati are nearly ready for occupancy, tha at Cairo Is under contract, and for that at Bait; more an excellent site has been secured. Referring to the existence of cholera abroad an the precautions taken against its introduction lnt this count ry. the Surgeon General says: "Quarar tine measures which are effective against yeiloi fever are not equally so as against cholera, and a quarantines should be conducted as inspection an - dislniectlng stations In addition to proper lnolatlo of the sick. But quarantine measures, howeve efficient, will not alone suffice to prevent an ep ; demlc of cholera in this country If it should one pas>3 the outer barriers. Prompt Isolation of th j first cases and municipal cleanliness are absolatel . necessary factors in the prevention of epidemics.

A MESSENGER FOR THE COMMITTEE ON MILITAKV ' I- AFFAIRS. t i, Mr. Logan obtained unanimous consent and of- !i !- fered a resolution to appoint a mos-'-n^r for the < , ; committee on military an airs.

I An amendment offered by Mr. Conger was agreed " , to Including within the scope of the Investigation leases of lands in the Iiaiiau reservations. i Mr. Plumb, referring to Mr. Vest's criticisms ! r made yesterday upon the course of the Interior . department, said that the present Secretary of the v Interior was only following tlie preccd a's -et i his predecessors. Much of the lands held by the Indian^, Mr. Plumb continued, were lands that they did not and would not need, and which were lit lor agriculture, it wis becoming a question '' for Congress to consider whe'h^r. owing to the rapid exhaustion of the public domain, some or r these lands should not l> > opened for settlement. 1 He hoped the investigation new contemplated . wouid result in su^treating' a plan which would t reconcile th" needs of the settlers and the Indians. 0 The resolution was then agreed to.

There is comi iera)!r* t ai-v in lavor of biinging up tlie tariff qu?*stion .t oucc, but the tariff refomen are by no tncuns man.mous upon that matter.

He will make t..e fig at with all his iuigh% .nd believes he will succoed in reducing the icvnue.

But the Spanish treaty wlil have many ardent ujjporters and sou:bitter opponents, and the delate will occupy much time. Mr. Herbert is an arnest advocate o.' the abolition or the marshal ystem.

Mr. Stocks;ager,or Ind.,says he thinks that there ri.I beyond a doubt he an e:i art made to reduce the evenue at once, lie thinks lumber, salt and o:u will be put on the free list, and the duty on ugar reduced one-half.

He says that lumber, alt, and many other nece^sartes of llie sliould go n tUe iree list.

The indlcatlOHs are that the democrats will call caucus to decide unon the cour.-e to be followed. Ir. A. S.
