The National Legislature is still in state of dis
organization, The hopes and expectations which
i entertained in my last letter, respecting the course
of events at the Capitol today have not been real
lied. The Convention of Representatives. has not
yet GENE to decision upon the main question OF
the New Jersey case. and that contamination, so
devouty to be wished. is still, to all appearances,
as far distant ever. The Convention has done
literally nothing today, but dispute bout prelimi-
nary forms, and matters wholly ire eyent to the
question at issue. Mr. Duncan of Ohio one of the
DULLES of the administration, and fit associate of
Vanderpoel, who was so soundiy castigated yester.
day, had the floor this morning, and has kept the
House in an uproar all day. 1t would seem that
some of the Locofccos are fully determined that
the House shall not be organized unless the New
Jersey me IN bers consent to waive their rights and
give them certain majority the election of
Speaker. Else why do they still obstruct the usu-
al course of business, and still oppose every plan
proposed by their own party, or by the Wings, de-
signed to bring the members directly to the ques-
tons before them? As have remarked before,
there must be something exceedingly ''rotten in
Denmark" when men will thus consent to throw
aside all regard for personal character and disgrace
themselves forever, for the purpose of preventing
Investigation into their manag cement of national

Mr. Vanderpoe Of N. Y. said he should vote a.
ganst that motion. MIR Dickerson had as much
right to address the meeting as any gentleman
from New Jersey then present.
MIR Wise of Virginia, said if Mr. DIckerson per-
sisted in addressing the members, he should call
for his crcdeatiais If he could show the legal and
constitutional evidence Of membership, from the
Governor of New Jersey, he might speak, but if
he could not, he protested against granting him
that privilege This was decidedly a poser, and
the gentleman from New Jersey Immediately sat
down, has kept his mouth closed ever since.
