], This result created profound sensation. Son
u who had voted against the bill did not intend i
8 defeat Mr.. Howard of Texas who had steadil
opposed it, was greatly alarmed, and immediatel
4" moved reconsideration. The Speaker decide
that it was not in order, being second reconsi
u Grafton. Mr.. Howard appealed from the de,
IN sion, and the House adjourned-a wise moveme
C. for the friends of the bill II allowed time
the scrip holders, for the marshalling Of forces
n reverse the Speakers decision, for patriotic a
z peals to patriotic members-for influence fro
n high quarters.
s. Friday September 9Th the question of appe
o. from the Speakers decision coming up, the Spea
l. er stated clearly the grounds of his decision
= showing that the principle OF it was sustained b
A. precedents, and he therefore must adhere to
a, MIR. Howard persisted in his appeal, and tt
i votes that followed showed that on all point
where members could vote without being held |

' In favor of promoting Indirectly the passage {
the bill and its amendment. First, motion

analysis Of this vote is given from the washington
Union on cur first page
Our readers will not be surprised to see amonl
the nays the names Of several members who, II
preliminary and side votes, had favored the bill
and the amendment whenever IL became neces
: sary, and they could do II with safety. Thes
manruvres we have endeavored to expose. Their
is any amount of eye-service among politicians
II will be remembered that, while two-thirds o
the Wings from the free States voted against tn
bill, nearly two-thirds OF the Democrats from tn
, same States voted for IL.

on our first page, presents full and correct view
we believe, Of the action Of the House on tn
