marks might be heard. He said that he did not wish
"a retarI the organization OF the House, and as 9

lccoriingly, when Mr.. Grow Withdrew. fearing that
Z a second ballot should be taken to-day, enough
intiLecompton Democrats might so over TO Sherman
10 ensure his election. \ scene Of great, though
somewhat suppressed excitement ensued, aud the
democracy began the usual flctious tactics for crea-
ing desy and preventing another ballot until the

posing some general remarks upon the qualifications

creased in intensity, and Republicans freely (though

a mere trick to eyade the rules, and achieve a dis
honest advantage.
