Correspondence Of the .Nsw Orleans Bulletin.
WASHINGTON, February 90, 1910.

The House was in session last night until
eight o'clock, and the New Jersey Resou-
ton was temporarily disposed of before the
adjournment. The administration members
were discounted, and committed an act
which am sure will not soon be forgotten.
The proposition before the House was
Resolution introduced by Mr.. johnson, of
Tennessee warm party man--proposing
that the Committee of Elections report to the
House, who has the greatest number Of
votes, the Administration members or the
commissioned members. Mr.. Gilmore, Of
New York, moved to insert the word "LAW-
Full = before votes. The Administration
members opposed the amendment. The
Wings cnIled the yeas and nays, the result
was N1NETY-sIx AYES, and NINETy-sIx NOES !.
The Speaker rnted inthe affirmative, and the
amendment sras carried! The vote created
d,smay in the ranks of the party, and pro-
duced a result as unwe!come as it was unex-
pected The signs Of disappointment wore
too manifest TO be concealed, and when the
vote was declared, those who had been sml-
ling in the expectation and prediction OF a
different result, were quite chop-tallen.-
The Resolution as amended was adopted
the amendment, however, leaves the qnes-
ton in precisely the position it was before
the resolution Of Mr.. johnson was brought
before the House. The committee of cleo
tons had decided to make a report to tae
House, us soon as the LAWFUL votes could be
known.
The Administrations members were not
willing 10 await the reception of this legal
Testimony; knowing TINT the pure Van Bur
rem New Jersey claimants to seats, received
a great number of illegal votes. they voted
to strike from a resolution the word LAWFUL.
A holder and more unlustifable vote ;canno
be found in the whole legislation of Congress.

The spring has opened beautifully and the

| The New Jersey vote, Of which wrote
at some length in my last letter, alarms the
administration here. The Globe. has care
fully omitted The yeas and nays upon the
motion to insert the word .sLAwFuL, and in
serting, even to minuteness, every thing be-
lssides this vote said and done lin the days
Legislation. The omission shows conspicu-
ously tho character of the vote given. and
the feeling in relation. Amore unjustifa:
BILE vote am sure has never been taken in
the history Of tho government.
The Wings of the District, by an official
Ebul;etin, are threatened with punishment for
daring to lisp a wordagainst the administers

the official editor, that the Globe was the

Is one whichnneht have been made against
the Administration for series Of years for
while the one party have been marshailed,
