was dense beyond example. There stood The ANXIOUS
hrong' two mortal hours, awaiting the Veo-and they
were not disappointed A, IL O'Clock, precisely Mr.
Robert Tyler, tho private Secretary Of tho President
appeared at the bar Of the Senate all ewes were imme
diaely turned to him. Mr. Smith Of Indiana who was
speaking IN support Of the bill, yielded the floor and
proposed that the subject in hand be passed over, in
formally.
The Message and the BAL, forming two distinct par
GELS, were laid the Presidents table Presently the
Message was deliberately and distinctly read by the
Secretary Every portion Of the Senate and galleries
were 50 still that the drop Of pin could have been
heard. At the close, ! expected some applause but
II was so very slight that it could not bo noticed 1t
Is sad by some, that there one sgh, hiss in re-
sPonso TO the slight applause. Be that as may, the
general appearance and bearing Of the vast auditory
was that OF more than Roman gravity and impur,abi
iy. There was not motion, sound, an inmsiion, a
rnsing towards disorder,-as appeared 10 those IN
the galleries, who inien, on the great subject
brought before the Senate. But tho Senators, or at
least some OF them, heard awful and indecorous
clappng and kissing
Nh Benton rose, under much excitement, and de-
nounced the hissers,,he Bank rufians, &c, as we'll
he might If there had been any rufiansm IN it. But
a more respectable, orderly, more anxious
auditory than that which the galleries contained, on
this OCCASION before collected together in
this country, any, the most solemn occasion, and
mayhap, never will be again.
About an hour-some say an hour and half-were
consumed in a debate-on the question whether there
was row-whethsr the noise applause or Kissing
whether action on the subject should be taken or
not, and so forth In the whole Of this vastly mpor-
tant debate there single auson the subec,
just brought before the body.
Mr.. W alker did say that his Joy and gratitude at the
Proyldentia! dellverance of this People from inn
pending danger was so great that he could turn
aside TO inquire into the delinquency of those mseta-
BILE individual Bank hirengs
After lasting and dsheartening talk about this sill
y matter, it turned that some drunken fellow, In
the gallery, had applauded,-was arresed-confesscd
begged pardon-and was sent of. The one person,
who out OF thousands, was by supposed to have
hissed was not discovered but it is supposed that be
Kissed the applauder.
Mr.. Clay, after the delay Of an hour and half on
this natter obtained opportunity to say that the
great importance of the subject induced him to move
that it be assigned for tomorrow at IL o'clock The
usage, on such occasions, and the constitutional in
junction were plain and understood by every
VIZ that when the President shall return bill 10 the
House IN which 1t originated, that House shall pro-
coed 10 reconsider the same, If after such reconsid-
Grafton, ,wohirjs of tina, House shall agree to pass
the bill, II shall be sent, together with the objections,
10 the other House, by which it shall likewise be re-
considered and approved by two-,hrds of the House
1t Shall become a law. Mr.. Clay also moved that the
message be printed. His motions were agreed to-
The Senate then went into Executive Session
In the House, resolution was offered asking leave
for the Select Committee on Retenchmeui to sit dur
ing the recess, with power send for persons and pa
pers and leave to report at the session. On

Bile, yeas 1879, nays 40
The House then went into Committee on the Bank
rupt Bill, and the debate was continued by Mr..
Holmes of S. c. This gentleman is well known here
and highly appreciated for his moral and social WORTH
and he IS known to be well acquainted with CONNER
cial matters. lie had before him the example of
Hayne, and the broad ligh, which Haynes eloquence
had shed upon this subject. But, STILL as you will
he found it his duty to oppose Ats bill, and good
and strong reasons has he gwen for his course. Mr.
Holmes spoke with grea, eoquence and force on this
subject, and commanded the closest attention Of the
House
Mr. Jones spoke in favor fthe BILL Notwithstanding
its acknowledged inperiections
Nj Sergeant also, spoke, for three lourths Of an
hour, IN support OF the principles and policy Of the
measure.
Mr. Howard, Of Indiana also spoke briefly in favor
Of the bil and insisted that those who would dispute
its propuely would challenge the cons,,uuonalily Of
Al a very early hour, and without any apparent and
known reason, the Committee rose, and the House ad-
Jouned.
Mr. Holmes fastened the members TO their place
dunng his speech but afterwards, they dwinded pref
~ fast Al one lime, previous 10 adjournment, there
were twenty-five members IN tie Hall.
