MONDAY MORNING, FEB. &c, 1874.
TWENTY.FIRST RULE.

1t will be seen by reference to our report of the
proceedings of the House, that the entire sitting
Of Saturday was occupied with the consideration
Of this never ending question. The morning
hour has been occup ed with it almost from the
beginning of the session, and on Saturday Mr..
Dromgoole, who was entitled to the floor, moved
a substitute for the Report of the Select Com
mittee in the shape of a new code Of rules,
changing Sigh ly the phraseology Of the twenty
first, or twenty-ffh, as it now is. What objec
this acute tactician has in view, I'm ess to keep
The discussion open od infnitum, we cannot con-
ceive. Mr.. Schenck, to his great praise be il
said, made an effort TO bring the House to di
rect vote on the only point really at issue, The
abolition rule; and as long as the voting was BY
yeas and nays, there seemed a fair prospect that
the effort would be successful, but the mouen
a division was called, VIII CHI admitted chance
fir skulking, the whole matter was brought,
back again to its original position.
Mr. Cave Johnson has an amendment pending,
to receive these petitions and lay them on the
table wi hout debate, in reference to which, we
understand, there will be caucus held tonight.

LOCFOCO CELEBRATION OF WASHING
TONS BIRTH-NlGiiT IN NEW YORK.

SIXTH WARD.-The +" Old Sixth" true 10 her
long-esablshed character. was last evening the
scene of ano her small pc iticall row. The Con
Donoho party met at Dunn's, pursuant to call.
The schoolmaser, and all the other aids of the
Governor, were on hand in good season, and pro
ceeded to organise by choosing Shivers Parker,
Esq, chairman. Matthew Conlan, vice president.
and William Sinclair, jr., secretary. The Web
ster party, or rather the more orderly portion OF
the Van Burenites, had previously met at John
McMahon's, and organized Van Buren, Asso.
clation--but most Of lhem out Of curiosity, w emf
into The Governors meeting, "just for the fun Of
the thing.
After the meeting last evening was organized,
Mr.. William Nealis, an officer Of the newly
formed Van Buren, Association, took the stand,
and attempted 10 speak, when up rose the Gov
ernor and interrupted him. This was The signal
Tor q row; and one or two of the Governors
aids mounted Nealis, and dragged him to the
hoor. Immediately. the fight became general
throughout the room, which was crowded with
all sorts of people-from the humble and unpre-
tending street sweeper and hod-carrier, 10 the
learned and eloquent schoolmaster fresh from
the boys Of old Ireland But it was OF short du.
ration. Several of the friends Of order seized
Governor Con Donoho, who had recovered from
the effects OF his scald on previous occasion,
and hustled him head over heels down stairs,
4uiehc' AdH he COulO say saint Patrick. :"
Others laid hold Of his leading satellites, and
served them the same sauce, and thus cleared
The room Of every disturbing element. The
orderly portion then retired, and closed the doors
OF the hall; and after some little wrangng in
The street, the multitude dispersed under their
several leaders. Donohos men took drink al
Captain Dunn's bar; and the victorious party.
giving three cheers, retired in good order to
John McMahon's, and went through the same
operation.
The amount of the whole matter is, that Con
Donoho is Governor of the Sixth Ward no long
er. He was essentially licked and driven from
the field where he has for long time held su.
preme control. This result must be peculiarly
gratifying to the quiet and orderly citizens Of the
ward, who are usually prevented from attending
the primary meetings of the party by the ruff
hanlsm Of Donoho's tools and dependents.
