the House this morning, after the Senatorial de-
noeument yesterday 1t was feared that the IN
usual feeling which pervaded the other branch o<
Congress, and the community generally. would in
fuse itself into this branch. But TO the contrary
the House came together calmly and 10 good order.

WHITES 70 olution proposing Committee d
tyentyone 20 consider and report upon the "ex-

Of the emotions which prompted Mr.. WHITE 70
make this movement, patriotic though they doubt

peuds on the passage OF this measure or that. NOR
