Beyond a struggle, during the morning hour, TO
get recess, or an adjournment, with California ad.
mitted ana supplies to the Government, or not as
suited Members desires, severaly, this has been
blank day Ia the House-no, it has been far worse
than & blank day a. we shall see.
Mr.. OLDs Of Ohio, as you will have learned oy
telegraph made another effort to ge' IN MS reso'u'
ton for recess from August GO to November l.
There was scene Of decided disorder enacted In
connection with this movement hr. JONES oil
La said he would 20 for the resolution II were
changed so as to provide for final adjustment
Mr.. WENTWORTH stretching himself to his iou
length exclaimed that he would 60 for 1t II some
.n.,.n,ee oould be secured az to the admission
~ California in the meantime. "Order, order !"
rang through the hall, and these suggestions
were ruled out--the House being under an order
of the Yeas and Nays at the time. Some one de-
sired to put question TO the Chair, as TO the state
which the question would be made TO assume, in
the event Of this or that result Of the vote about 10
be taken-thus anticipating as,too often done, with
the aid Of the Chairman! Mr. DUER raised point
Of order. The Chair ruled JosKs in order. A good
deal Of confusion prevailed, and some irregular
debate was INDUCED in. JosEs of Tennessee
wished TO ask whether pay and mileage would go
ont Laughter, and "order order l'-of course,
that being delicate question
A resolution by Mr.. VAN DYKE was then passed,
THE only thing done TO day. directing the payment
OF per diem and mileage 10 DANIEL II. MILLER,
the Iowa contestant
Next came a resolution from Mr. WENTWORTH,
providing that there shall be no adjournment until
I'll M M nd
the appropriations for the support Of the govern
me ut were passed. The House refused TO sus pend
the rules to receive this resolution by vote Of SO
TO 90, by yeas and nays. This vote was taken as
well az the noise and confusion would allow aud
twas my de,ign TO have transmitted reliable an.
nal, sis Of it. But az the telegraphc report will
show, the Journal was kept so constantly in the
hands Of the reading clerk, as TO utterly preclude
all opportunity TO correct the erroneous cstchngs
Of my uDassisted ear.
Next came resolution by Mr. hoBISsoS OF mo
declaring that the only way TO make sure oil the ad
pis.ion of California and the passage OF the Ap-
propristions would be 70 fix day Tor the nnai al
pufpment Of Congress " This was lost without
contest Then came resolution py Mr. HARRIS
of Tenn to adjourn sine de on the hrst Monday In
September. The vote on this gave yeas 80 10 ~
Nays. o..
The House then went into Committee on Cali
forpia After an effort Of BAYLY TO set aside that
order, the debate on the pending amendments pro.
eeeded. The proceedings IF proceedings they
were, the telegraph will indicate) were soon ar.
rested by commencement Of the threatened use OF
"nschinery OF legislation " by the South. For the
balance Of the day, there was nothing but the most
abs mful absenteeism making numerous calls OF the
roll necessary. The Committee finally rose, and
then came the same "tom-foolery." Frequent mo.
tons to adjourn were made and voted down by
yeas and nays which delectabe process is going
On, amid much confusion as close, at o'clock.
When the House will adjourn, if at all to day, is
very uncertain. SIGMA.
