Afer these proceedings, commenced small
.;,ed contest 20 see whether the House should
adjourn over till Thursday, according to the under
standing. Mr.. Jones of Tennessee objected, aud
the House was constrained in squeD;e OF there
being no quorum p,eseDt, to adjourn over TILL To-
uorrow. We like the determination and peril
pacity of Mr. Jores in trying TO hold the Ho ise to
its duty. though in this case it seems to amount to
nothing but vexation. But why should not the
House be held to its duty BY what warrant do
txo.tbir6s of its members rush off in the middle Of
its session to attend p. sdeDt-making Conventions
IL this the business for which the country pays them
eight dollars day This week is to be lost in this
oeeupation. Mex. week is to be partially, andper-
haps wholly, thrown way in similar proceeding.
And the week after is to be devoted outright to the
ike object tits all wrong and should DC condemned
and amended II is an irksOme and an iDsidiOus
task for any member to stand up aud resist the cur
rent of Improperly, and he gets nothing but the
satisfaction Of having discharged his duty for his
pains. To be sure, it may be alleged that the OBJ
jectipg member does it for the sake of nOOrety,
bat IL is hardly fair to mpute this motive in such a
case az the present For one, think Mr. Jones,
IN the most of his rigid and uucOmprOmising pro-
eeedings in the House. is deserving of credit and
praise; and that it would be far better for the cOun
try If we had equally independent and upright
legislators. OF course, except his conduct where
Slavery or it's vOtaries are concerned. Here the
.obliquty of lis mental vision, like that of every
other Pro- Slavery man. s chronic as it is marked,
and totally incapacitates every Individual of them
ali for anything like fairness propriety of action
Demoralized by the example, in Congress, the
voters of this city fell to quarreng at the polls TO-
day, at their municipal election; and it is said an
Irishman has been shot in the melee. The reason
for 1t is good those which rule on Capitol Hull.
The Irishnen were too strong in iairplay con-
teyt, and so their antagonists gave them foul.
Everybody's eyes here are strained toward Gin
cipDati-the Presidents especially. The latter has
played the traitors part, but he will not get the
traitors pay If the Convention does not send
him back to Obscurity, the people will. But it is
to be feared that the latter will be cheated of the
opportunity TO express their judgment upon his
signal per6dy. J. s. p.
