The Wealth and Brains of the Country for Him. MISSOURI EDITORS FORAGING. Atchison County Enthusiastic for John A. Martin. HOUSE. Washington 3Iay 20. The majority of the resolutions presented declare William E English duly elected member of the Forty eighth congress. Converse spoke iu sup port of the claim contestant, and Hart pre sented grounds on which the contestce bases his claims. Lowcry advocated the claims of the contestant. He alluded to certain language made by J. S. Wise of Virginia, when the Ferrcll Paul case was under consideration to the effeat that the Virginia bourbon was riding into congress on the back of ono of Harnum's Indiana mules. Ho supposed that remark was rounded upon the legend that chairman Itanium had once telegraphed to Indiana concerning some mules. In view ot the spectacle which the gentleman from Vir. ginia presented on the tloor, he apprehend ed that if ISaruum had been telegraphing to Virginia for an animal of the lower or Jcr, ho would have telegraphed for one still more brutal iu its instincts than a mule. Wise, who bad been out, came in and aked that the words be taken down. The speaker said that tbc proper time for that request had passed. Wise said, 1 waive all points and reserve the privilege of pergonal explanation hereafter. Lowcry thcii proceeded with his argument. In the course of bis remarks he referred to Thomas Hendricks. Perhaps some of his republican friend had heard of that gentleman as hav ing been the successful candidate for the vice-Presidency in 1870. He disclaimed any knowledge of the gentleman in that connection and Lovvery retorted by inti mating that Hcndricksmight bo beard of as elected to some office in lt&l in connection with the great heart of the Democratic party, Samuel J. Tildcn. Hiscock sug gested this disenssion should be carried on in cipher, which suggestion was received by sundry ejaculation of tattooed from the Democracy side. Pctidor spoke in support of the claims of setting member. Pending further debate the House adjourned. House committee on judiciary ordered favorable report on Delegate Monzeanares. Joint resolutions providing for the suspen sion on all laws, acts and joint resolution passed at the 26th session of the legislature of New Mexico, which began February 18th of this year, be suspended, pending the in vestigation now being made by senate com mittee on territories. The house sub-committee on naval affairs to-day reported to the full committee a bill providing an appropriation of $40,000 for the relief or officers and crew of the Unit ed States sloop of war Cumberland, and the Uniteil States steamer Monitor, who were engaged in action with Confederate steamer Merrimac, in Hampton Uoads March S and 9, 18C2. The report accom panying the bill says, the claim to prize money must be rejected, but while this is true, evidence presented the committee abundantly proves most conspicuous gal lantrj and devoted patriotism as well ai extraordinary services rendered by tho officers and crews of these ships, which, in the opinion of your committee, entitles them to generous and gratctul recognition by their country- Lewis was insirucieu uy iuu uuusc lie lands to day to report obinits the sec- f fur- THEYAREFOR ARTHUR. Chicago May 20. Telegrams signed by presidents of first and second national bank, by John V. Farwell, T. D. Armour, Henry Kup, A.W. Totter and represen tatives of large commercial and financial interests was sent at length to business mens' meeting in New York in behalfof President Arthur's renominatlon. The Dispatch expresses appreciation ot the im portance of the 'calf, and believes that President Arthur should be renominated in justice to the welfare of the entire coun try, and to him who has made so good a President. BEECHER FOR ARTHUR. New York, May 20. The great mass meeting of citizens and business men call ed express approval ot the administration ot President Arthur, and urge his rcuora ination for a second term. The mass meet ing was held to-night at Cooper Union. More orderly, and intelligent assemblage than that which crowded the great hall was never before seen in this city. At half past seven every seat in the building was occu psed. and one-half an hour later when C. X. Itliss, of Bliss, Fairburn A Co., called the meeting to order, not another person could find standiug room in tho hall, though they still continned to pour into the doorways, until finally at S:10 the com manding police gave orders to close the doors. In tho audience were a large num ber of ladies. Seats were provided upon the platrorm for about sixty people. Among the prominent person who occu pied them were C. X. Itliss, Frederick S. Winslow. Henry Ward ltcechcr. Itenj. II. liristow, Ed. Peirrji, Assistant U. S. Treas urer T. O. Actim, Surrogate DG. Itolling. C. It. Agncw, Legrand B. Canbon. Jesse Scligman. Salem U. Watts, Sam Slocum and Parke Goodwin. Cornelius N. llliss called the meeting to order, and in brief stated the ob ject lor which it was tailed. He fcild it was taiieu. iiu e-iu n was the unusual thing for business men to ' have it word in choosing a candidate for the presidency, as this was tho work of those who were supposed to be better posted in public affairs. Political papers had en deavored to depreciate the efforts of the business men in the present instance, and insinuated that at the present time it would I be better tor the business men to attend to I their own business and look alter their I stocks and bonds and merchandise, instead or meddling with politics.

President Arthur was certain to carry Xew York State, which could not be said or an other candidate. He asserted that men or all classes were calling upon president Arthur, and that this was uot a class meeting but a meeting or all the citizens. Itesolutious in favor of the president signed by some of the most prominent business men . S.

A Topeka special to the Journal, last night, says that the Democratic love feast held last Saturday it far reaching in its effects and is the subject of much consideration amoBg the elect even yet. While many members of that party deny it, and some even goto far as to say Judge Martin was made a chair of, the rea fact ii he took thelaembers by the noses and led them up to the trough and made forty-one of them drink their twill, only three breaking away. And these three rep resent a considerable element in tuts city and county. Judge Martin told them iu convention that be was a tried and true Democrat before thoy were weaned, and, in substance, all thev had to do was to walk un to tbc polls and vote, keening their mouths shut in presence ot their elders; that there were old and gray headed Dem ocrats (pointing to his ovvn hair) who would do all the thinking, and bad no need to seek advice of sucklings. Keverting to tbc past, he stated that twenty-nine years ago bo hud upheld Democracy in Uie State ol Kansas, had aided in making the party what it then was, and had always followed faithfully the rules governing that party. There was a spirit of rebellion manifest iu the convention, but only three out of fnrt v-four dared declare their independence at the time, though they had no hesitation afterwards. One, Mr. Greene, a young man of decided opinion, struck a keynote iu declaring himself free Irom any taint of the blind subjection so notlceabla in many of tbc Shawnee county Democrats, and thai he was not bound to swallow any dote Judge Martin might sec lit to prepare for the Democracy. There is a tendency In this party, as far as this section is concern ed, to pay some attention to the younger men who duTlnc the last-twenty years have prevented it bcingTorgotten.

Come'' is a good word to use iu tLis case, it first shows where the aforesaid c. c. stands, in spite or the Atchison Patriot, which calls him o Itepubllcan. One sen tence in Judge Martin's speech last- Satur day evidently galls him, as It does many other vounir Dcmocraf-s. Said the judge: i "I wns in the harness as a Democrat before vour younger members or the party were out or their swaddllug clothes.
