HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
NEW JERSEY MEMBERS

This subject came up for decisive vote
andiwitl the expectation that it would be ta-
ken to-day
An attempt was made TO lay upon the la
Bile report from the Minority of the Com
mittee on Elections, s,-prepared, believe, by
Mr.. Smith of Conn. and signed by him and
Messrs. Crabbe of Alabama aud Bolts of
Va. The House refused to suspend the
rules. 116 to SO.
Mr.. Petrken's preamble and resolution,
proposing the admission Of the five Ad-
ministration members then came up for
consideration. The Previous Question
was moved by Mr. Petriken AMI seconded
by majority of members. No debate was
allowed, therefore, and it was impossible
to obtain a call Of the House.
The Main Question was ordered, and the
vote stood ayes l13, noes 64.
Mr. Smith of Conn. then moved that the
whole subject be laid on the table. The
yeas and nays were ordered, and the vote
was 1l3 against laying on the table, and 80
in favor Of the motion.
The next question was the important one.
'Shal the members claiming seats be ad
mttedP The yeas aud nays were ordered
and several members refused to vote. After
the yeas and nays had been called, but be-
| fore the result was announced.
Mr.. Russell of N. Y, called the attention
ofthe House to the subject, and after some
remarks resolution was submitted that
John Quincy Adams, John w. Allen, and
Edward Stanley, be compelled to vote.
These were but to their members who
declined answering to their names. They
would not vote for the reason that they con
sidered the whole question grossly uncon-
stitutional.
The resolution compelling members to
vote was received by the Chair, and de-
cared to be in order.
Mr.. DTomgoole, of Va, appealed from
this decision, and called upon the country
to witness the conduct of the refractory
members.
Mr.. Stanley, of N. c., called upon the
country to witness the violation of the
Constitution which the majority in the
House were now perpetrating.
The vote was then taken upon the appeal
from the Speakers decision, and the decis-
ion was reversed.
| ne fOtc was tueH dHtlUuUCeu upon LnR
amendment, the decisive question of Mr..
Petrken. The vote was Ill to 90.
The next vote was upon the resolution as
amended. a
Mr.. Monroe, of N. Y, said that he had
no objection to ovoting against the resolution
before the House, except that he consider
ed it gross violation of the Constitution
ofthe United States. Mr.. Monroe was not
lalowed to vote.
Mr.. Habersham, of Georgia, asked leave
to record his vote in the negative. He was
unfortunately absent, he said, when his
name was called. The House refused to
allow him 10 vote. -
| Mr.. H. eaid that. many extraordinary
things were done in the House. and he did
not think mis- motion extraordinary.
/ Mr.. Bolts, of Va, has at this moment
submitted a motion thatthe minority report
of the committee on elections be received
and another motion has been submitted that
the House adjourn.

The WORK GOES oN,-The advancement
Of the cause Of Harrison and eform is no.
where more apparent than ip Pennsylvania.
The workings Of the principles of Van Bu-
renism have operated with more than their
usual destructive effect upon the people of
that state, and the Locos are suffering from
divisions in their own ranks, caused by the
heartless measures Of their party traders.
The honest Germans are declaring their
preference for Harrison, and an honest en-
tbnsiasm hitherto unwonted is taking pos
session OF their hearts. Large meetings
have been holden in many of the counties,
and more public recantations Of Van Buren,
ism have taken place within few weeks
than would have been believed possible at
any previous time. The work does 90
bravely on, and it is at this moment recei-
wing more aid from the blind madness Of
Van Burenism, than from any other cause
except itsownintrnFic merits. The growth
of the cause has been astonishing to the
wings, and is 90 disproportionate to The

The DISTRIBUTING OFFICE AT TOLEDO
There seems to be great difficulty in ma
king the distributing office stick at Toledo.
1t is well enough understood by the depart
ment, that the Office is not needed, and
there is continual influence from the hon.
est agents of the P. M. General operating
against its continuance. To counteract
this, there are certain other matters which
would well pay for looking up, and which
may, in future, receive justice at our
hands.

SMUGGLING THE MAILs.-The captain o.
New Haven steamboat lately discovered
cart load of odd looking packages done up
in cotton bagging, gong on board his boat
at New York. Curiosity and dread of q
contraband operation induced him to exam.
inc into their contents, when, to his surprise
he found them to be nothing else than the
great eastern mail in the disguise of freight
bound for its destination. In pity to the
bankrupt department, tho agent of the boa,
ordered the packages to be carried free ol
charge.

ment on her head was wreathe OF orange
flowers, and small diamond pin, bywhch
the nupta veil was fastened To her halr.
Her train was of white satin, with deep
fringe of lace, and she looked the personIfi-
cation of dignity, gentlencss and love, as
she advanced upon the aisle to the altar.
The endanis.--Immediately around
Her Malesty's char, were her twelve maids
of honor, attred in virgin white, while in
The centre sat Her Majesty, "the leading
star of every eye." Prince Albert stand
ing on her right, and Her Royal lil6 hness
the Duchess of Kent, on her left. A little
further to the left, stood the Duke of Sus-
sex, the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Mel
bourne, the Lord Chancellor, and the other
great officers off the State.
The Ceremony.--The Archbishop of
Canterbury having advanced to the rails,
Her Majesty and Prince Albert approached
him, and the service commenced.
When his Grace came to the words,
Albert, wilt thon have this woman to thy
welded wife, to live together after Gods
ordinance in the holy estate Of matrimony?
Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor, and
keep her in sickness aud in health; and for
saking all others, keep thee only unto her,
SO long as ye both shall livel
His Serene Highness, in firm tone, re-
piled, 81 wil.'
And when he said -
Victoria, witt thou have Albert to be thy
welded husband, to live together after Gods
ordinance in tho holy estate of matrimony!
Wilt thou obey him, and serve him, love,
honor, and keep him in sickness aud in
health; and forsaking all others, keep thee
only unto him, SO long as ye both shall
live2
Her Majesty looked up affectionately in
Prince Alberts face, and. replied, loud
enough to be heard IN every part Of the Cha
pei, al will"
The Archbishop then said,--
Who giveth this woman to be married to
this man?
His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex
advanced, and took Her Majesty's hand,
which he placed in that of the Prince.
The service then proceeded.
Prince Albert then placed the ring on
her finger, repeating
With this ringI thee wed, with my body
thee worship, and with my worldly goods
thee endow; in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.
The Archbishop then concluded the ser
vice.
Lihple .Niceties. While the service was
proceeding, Her Majesty was observed to
look frequently at Prince Albert, who was
standing at her side. In fact, she scarcely
ever took her eyes off him till she left the
Chapel.
Full Possession.--After the ceremony,
the procession returned through the suite of
apartments, Her Majesty and her iustrons
consort walking hand IN hand, and acknowl-
edged with gracious smiles, the cheers with
which the walls of the ancient Palace now
re-echoed.

THOMAS COR WIN.

The annexed complimentary notice of
Mr.. Corwin is from letter written by
gentleman in Washington city to the
conductor of public Journal in the East.
"Mr. CoRwIN, Of Ohio, followed Mr.
Goode in the defence of Gen. Harrison, and
made one of those speeches, which he alone
is capable of making, and which may be
ranked among the legitimate specimens OF
legitimate eloquence. With Mr.. Corwin's
politics, have nothing TO do; and, Of
coursc, what say in reference to the man,
need rot be supposed to have any basis,
from the relation he holds to the politics of
the day.
Mr.. CoRwIN, permit, me to say, is the
abest, best, most eloquen: and succe g.
full speaker in the American Congress:
his manner and his matter, are purely orig
inal; they hold no alliance or affinity with
the eloquence of Webster or Clay; and Mr..
Corwin, Of course, in his career, as a states
man, or as an aspirant for parliamentary
fame, does not come in collision with either
of these eminent men. He is remarkably
well read in the light and polite literature
of the age; is an elegant scholar, without
being pedantic:a happy ard good natured
irony and satire plays through all his par
iamentury efforts; and he probably more
resembles Sheridan than any man since the
palmy and. brighter days of that, at one
time, pride and boast of the British House
of Commons. Mr.. Corwin makes up the
largest portion of his speech with attic salt
and refined humor; but when he suffers him
self to roar in the higher regions of pathos,
he is pathetic beyond conception; and moth
ing can excel the majesty and beauty OF his
bursts Of passion; OF the severity Of his
chaste and withering invective.
He made his first appearance in Congress
aboGt ten years ago, but never spoke till the
year 1884, to my knowledge; since that pc
riod, he has spoke, impromptu, lie won b.
his efforts reputation that might well be
cavied-a fame that will PROBABLY be far
more stable than that which falls to the lot
of most American sta esman. He is ex-
cesslvely modest, and notwithstanding he
has been many years in Congress, he real
izes very great embarrassment ON first la
king the floor; and it is only by aid of the
most pressing persuasion, that his friends
can get him to speak at al.
Mr. Corwin, in his defence of General
Harrison, replied at length to Mr.. Crary, Of
Michigan; and though he manifested great
courtesy towards that gentleman, he prob
ably rendered him now and thea little un-
comfortable. There was nothing. 'howev-
er, in the debate to which the must fastdi-
Gus stickler for order could take exception
As soon as Mr.. Corwin had concluded,
the House adiourned."

A gentleman who holds high Office in

dusky Democrat, gravely informs the edit
or, that he was at the trouble Of counting
almost all the people who were present at

vey tho idea that his enumeration was al
most complete, though, like the negro, he
owns that there were some that he did not
count.
"Jack,' snid gentleman, "have you
counted the pigs this morning"
gan but one on 'em, Massa."
Gone, of them!-but why didn't you
