read them. He W anted to know by what right
that intruder (neaning the clerk) had interrupted
him. The Clerk was mere creature-he was not
Clerk of-the House. The fshmongers of Paris in
the days of the revolution never violated the liber
ty of speech. The Constitution says thatis cannot
be done. 4 -ss
The Clerk. finding it next to impossible to call
the roll ceased, amid cries '.Whatdid you
stop for ?"
Mr.. Toombs conquered" partial t'peace, the
disorder somewhat abated, and he concluded his
remarks by saying Before my country and my
constituents, ask you to render back what you
have taken away that peace and justice may reign
in this republic Until that time let discord reign
He then resumed his seat. ss = fE1
After few words from several gentleman and
the Clerk as to the condition of business, the cal

when. s@
Theresult of the vote was then announced
yeas 81, nays 120 so the house refused to rescind
the resolution.
Mr.. Stanton, of Tennessee, now submitted the
proposition which he sought to introduce at the
commencement of the days proceedings. viz:
ResolOed That the House will proceed imme-
diately to the election of Speaker, ptUa voce; };
and if after the roll shall have been called three
times, no member shall have received majority of
the whole number of votes, the roll shall again be

largest number of votes, provided it be majority
of quorum, shall be declared to be chosen Spea-

Mr. Holmes Immediately moved that the reso-
luton be laid upon the table. Let it be seen who
will vote to violate the Constitution And he ask
ed for the yeas and nays.
Mr.. Stanton was going to propose that the con-
sderaton of the resolution should be postponed un-
til Monday.
Mr., Root insisted that the question should be
put on the motion to lay the resolution on the
table.
Mr.. Vinton moved that the House adjourn.
The yeas and nays were demanded
Mr.. Jones moved that when the House adjourn,
it be to Wednesday next
Messrs Stephens, Jones and Williams made q
few remarks; and the question being taken, it was
decided in the negative. .s=.
Amendments and substitutes were then offered
by Mr. Kaufman, of Texas, and Mr.. Giddings, which
were rejected.
The resolution of Mr. Stanton, as above, was then
adopted by vote of ID to 106.
Mr. Stanly said: Mr. Clerk, with the permission
of the House, l wish to make a statement relat-

tion-which earnestly hope will lead to an organ

the members of each party should vote for their
favorite, and we have reasonable hope. most
but earnestly express the wish that

him who is decidedly the fayorite of the Wing
party as shall. ..-.s.

commenced calling the roll.
