all sides rose to their feet; others crowded
to the area near Stevens and Crawford;
the greatest excitement prevailed, and at
one time it was feared there would be Il
collision
Mr.. Morris, of Illinois, the time for gem
osity has passed, order must be enforced.
After few moments, the members seated
themselves, several gentlemen proposed an
adjournment.

be stopped, and there is no power in this
House to stop it. (Applause.) Adjourned.
WASHINGTON, Dec: Z.
HoUsE.-Mr. kellogg rose to privi-
legged question, and caused to be read an
article from the N. Y. 7rJiuns Mr.. Kel-
log wished to show the false position Mr..
Greeley holds to the Republican party.
planned of him, then it would be time for
the gentleman from N. Y. to complain
Mr.. Greeley had said in the dispatch
quoted, that his (NIr. Kcllog's) motion
to adjourn, which prevailed by the
help of the entire Democratic and South
american vote, was condemned by
two-thirds of the Republicans. If the
Republicans have any regard for their
own dignity, they will rebuke those who,
by treachery, prepare papers for others to
sign. When the struggle in Illinois COM
menced, SIr. Greeley and others met in
the parlor of Senator Douglas, and plan
ed to sell Illinois and Missouri. He (Kel-
log) knew it, and could prove it. He neY-
er loved a traitor. The idea was to make
Mr.. Douglus Senator, to re-eect him, and
it was done. Mr.. Douglas, in the mean
time, was declaring that he was Demo-
how, 4 r
Mr.. Greeley did say that Mr.. Douglas was
free soiler, good enough for him. He
kellogg had not knowledge or recOllcc-
ton that he signed the recommendation
for the Helper book! lie never saw it
There was not man: in his district who
would trample on the constitutional rights
OF the South. The North is becoming less
and less Democ ratio, and the South strong
or and stronger Democratic, and the time
would soon come when the great majority
of the people would be'Republican.
Mr.. McClermand replied that if such
consultation occurred, how came his COL
league (Kellog) to know it? If the con-
Sultation was privateJh he, as an individual,
would have scorned to reveal what was
said. 1t was strange that such charge
should now be made, after it was known
that Mr.. Greeley had endeavored to defeat
Mr.. Douglas reelection, employing I'M
sorupulous means. Money, too, to that
end, was raised in New York.
Mr. kellogg inreply, said he was not at
the conference, but what he had stated
was the fact
Mr.. Ducll offered a resolution which was
adopted, to invite the clergymen of the
city to open the House with prayer.
Mr.. Morris, of Illinois, wanted to know
from his colleague the authority for the
statement alleging IN agreement between
Douglas and Greeley such as had been
charged.
Mr.. kellogg did not think proper to make
the declaration ~.
Mr.. Morris replied if he had had de-
tailed private conversation, this was the
first time had heard that charge; he be-
lieved there was not one iota of truth in
it. Douglas was elected by the Democrats
of that State, which had adopted him as
its son; he said few more such scenes as
those of yesterday and we should hear the
crack of the revolver and see the CLEAN of
the Furnished blade.
The debate was continued till late
hour, when second ballot was taken as
follows: Sherman lO7, Bocock 50, Gilmer
