ed to address the House, or rather to force
himself upon the House, but was not per-
mitted. Mr. Peck, of N. Y, told him, that
instead Of obtruding himself into the Hall,
he had better make his speech to the Ro-
tunda! Such personal remarks have been
made by the score today, and the effect Of
them in body almost equally divided, you
can not imagine. A more irritable body,
with greater diversity Of opinion, hardly
ever came within the walls Of the Capitol.
The scenes enacted to-day have been dis
graceful. Much, however, was dona ID the
adoption of the resolution Of Mr.. Wise, and
much more in an important vote, deciding
that the N. Jersey Wing members should
not be allowed to vote upon preliminary
questions. The vote was 122 against their
right, and III IN favor Of 1.-THE N. Jersey
members voting, congressional members and
claimants both. The next vote was more
important one whether Mr. Naylor should
be allowed to vote or not. Mr.. MAYORS
claims were sustained, 119 to 112. A vote
was then taken upon Mr.. Ingersoll,s right
to seat. l58 voted against Mr.. Ingerson,
and nobody in his favor!!! The result OF
these two votes promise an organization b.
.and by. Idare not say when.
Subsequently to the loss Of Mr.. Wise,s
Resolution, Mr.. Rhett, Of s. c., submitted
An important one, which WAS sustained by
the majority. First, that the New Jersey
members be notallowed to vote. Secondly,
that Mr. Naylor Be allowed to vote. Third
II, that the names Of all other members Be
4 quorum 70 sit upon tho contested seats.
