BEFORE the voting commenced, Mr.. Stephens ap-
pea.ed to the House in vindication OF his fairness

tons to adjourn to prevent closing the business In

strength for reconsideration. Pending one ofthese
ATTEMPTS, Mr.. Trippe Of Georgia explained bis
vote, ssyipg that new proposition had been IN
| troduced Of s character which ne did not under
| stsrd ill read at the desk. He wanted time 70
consider. and thought it looked like taking the

When the roll was about being called for the

t;c aide of the House snd asked who hsd objected
to his previous explanation.
Mr.. Gartrell replied that he had.

When order was restored, the call proceeded'
and an adjournment was carried by sort OF truce.
The vote was rot regarded as test. The motion
TO reconsider is pending, and if Southern members
who voted for the May postponement to-day stand
firm, It will be laid on the table tomorrow.
During the proceedings, Mr. English might have
been sesn yibroting between his seat and Mr.
Stepbe ns evidently receiving instructions, especially
after yielding the floor to Mr. Howard, accord
ing TO the understanding in the Conference Com
nittee. when motions for postpOnement began
multiplying.
Secretary Cobb was ou the floor until after hll-
clustering commenced. Senator'S Green, Blger
Tocmbs, and other wire pulers, were constantly IN
attendance.
An interesting scene occurred in the Senate on
tis SUBJECT
Mr. Green rose to make report from the Con-
ference.
Mr. Stuart objected, on the ground thst the bill
itself was not in the possession of the Senate but
in the Hou'e.
Mr.. Green arrogsntly objected to this interven-
ton.
While Mr.. Stuart was on the floor, the bill was
brought over from the House aud quietly laid on
Mr. Green's desk.
Mr. Broderck immediately rose and said that he
was informed by Member of the House that the
bill had been surreptitiously obtained from the
Clerks Office and sent to the desk Of the Senator
from Missouri.
Mr.. Green inquired if the Senator charged that
| he had suIreptitiously obtained the bill.
Mr.. Brcderick replied that he stated the fact that
it had been surreptitiously procured.
Subsequently, after remarks by others, Mr
| Green sgan got the floor and said that the bill haC
been brought to bim to compare data with hi
report. A very remarkable coincidence, but it diC
not mi.lesd snybody.
| Nr. Broderick answered that he had been in
formed by Sir. Harris of Illinois, that the bill haC
been improperly obtained and that he held himsel
| personally responsible for the statement
| TIE facts of the case appear 10 be, that Mr. En-
| elish was in the Senate when Mr.. Green's move
| ment was made, and seeing his dilemma, immedi.
| a.ey went to the House and sent Mr. Hackney,
| DOoIkeeper, for the bill, with message
| that be wanted to examine it. Mr.. Barclay,
one of the Clerks who had it in charge, at
first demurred, but rejecting that Mr.. En-
| gish was Chairman of the Committee and hav-
| ing no suspicion for what he intended to use
it, allowed it to go. Sir. Allen, the Clerk,
came in afterward, and hearing the circumstances,
feared trap, and started for the Senate, where
msetiDg Mr.. Harris he related the facts which
we're communicated to Mr.. Broderick, and thus to
the Senate. No comment is needed except this:
the transaction is a consistent part of the whole
policy of the Administration and its agents.
