WASHINGTON, December 10.
Worse and worse! We have in the House
to-day s'the confusion worse confounded,'
the confusion Of tongues and regular
Babel. The most exciting day in the House
during the nine days session has closed,
and as the result of it, ! am happy to inform
you, that some progress has been made
Several votes of importance have been ia
ken-all leading to the conclusion, which
ultimately must be aimed at, prior to an or
ganization Of the body.
Mr.. Duncan did not canclude his remarks,
for the reason that he was not in place in
the House at o'clock. The membersstait-
ed for his majesty some fifteen or ts4epty
minutes, when they took a question upon

of the previous question. Mr.. Adams de-
cided the other day, that the regularly and
commissioned members we're alone entitled
TO vote, and no others. His appeal was ta-
ken upon that decision by Mr. Vanderpool
and this morning, by vote of ia to los,
the House decided against the decision of
the Chairman. The effect of this motion
was not settlement of the claims of the
members by any means, but merely dec
laration that the House had the matter again
in their hands.
The next most important decision made
during the day, was vote upon motion,
submitted some days since by Mr. Rhett, Of
South Carolina. Mr.. Wise had introduced
a resolution similar to the one brought for
ward last week, by Mr.. Graves and Mr..
Adams that the certified members from New
Jersey be allowed to be enrolled. This
resolution Mr. Rhett moved, ssdo lie on the
table, the motion was lost to-day In favor

members did not vote upon either of these
propositions-neither the certified members
or the democrats. Upon motion to ad.
journ, however, three of the democrats voted
and three of the commissioned members.
These two votes, important as they are to-

last named motion, got into another exciting
debate. Mr.. Naylor, of Pennsylvania, vo

ministration members, who commended tina

caused, and the House adjourned, ll6 to ll3
upon a motion not to allow Mr.. MAYORS vot,
to be counted.
i Mr.. Naylor became great deal excited
and challenged the right of any member t
deny his right to vote. Mr.. Smith, of Main,
half challenged it; and said he should turl
Mr.. Naylor over to Mr.. Ingersoll, his oppo
nent, who has seat in the House of Rep
resentatives. Mr.. Naylor showed his cert
icate of election, and challenged the mem
Der from Maine again, to prove his owl
claims to seat. This momental persona
discussion became general, and ended in th
adjournment.
