Again and again the Speaker, who Is evden'ly
law and oyder man, called upon the oicerS 70 c'e"i

ho srootsr and members Of the Senate entered the
uorsa The President Of the Senate took the chair,
,ho niles of tho House were adopted for the governs
uest of the Joint body, and the Clerk commenced
collino The roll At this instant there was 30 much
noj,e and confusion in the rotunda and about the
door, some time elapsed before the Clerk could pro-
coed further At last order restored, and as the
pames of members were called each one named his
fsvorite candidate Republicans voting for Simon
Cameron and the Democrats voting for Charles X.
Buckalew.
There were symptoms of fear among some of the
Democratic members, noticed in their tTemuons
voices for the mob surrounded the Capitol building,
and did all in their power to mold tue decision In
favor of their candidate. When the name OF Mr..
Scholfeld was called, he said I" Since the offer OF
100000 wae Of no account, he would vote for
Charles r.. Buckaew." He was hailed with Kisses
and laughter, and calls to order. The Speaker of
she House gave bis vote for Buckalew, and vas
loudlr cheered. The vote stood as follows: Cbas.
A. Buckalew, G7i Csmerois 65; Kelly, /. lbave
been assured by men whore Judgment is authority,
that several Democratic members voted for Bucka-
lew with great reluctance, and were Influenced to
do so by bodily fear for their personal safety, know
ing they were watched with wollsh eyes by men
who had been hised to whip refractory members
iuto the haruess.
Il the wsr Democrats who voted for q peace Sena-
tor had boldly avowed their purpose Of sustaining
the nlau of their choice, they would have been pro-
teced in the exercise Of that right but unfortunately
for them aud their constituents, they were timd
to cut themselves loose from their alliance with the
anti.war Democracy. Mr.. Laport, who voted
for Kelly, expected second vote, in the event Of
which be intended TO vote for Cameron; but, like
many others who decline 10 do exactly right the fra,
time, lie lost the opportunity Of doing jus,ce to his
own choice, and without aiding Mr. Kelly, did more
than any other man 10 defeat Mr. Cameron. Mr..
Schofe! "a. tho chose TO be the trumpeter OF his
unpurchssable virtues, made a laughing-stock OF
hiui.elf by the proclamation of his unmarkeisble
Democracy. Justice to Mr. Smith, who made the
singular remark in caucus Monday night, demand
me 70 say that lie voted for Mr.. Cameron.
As before limited Mr.. Buckalew was selected on
the first ballot and before the result could be an-
nounced from the chair the exultant democratic
threw up their hats in ecstsciss Of delight shouting
and cheering vociferoutly in the House. Sooa the
mob outsde responded in yells that made the welAn
ring. Al the Wheeler House tho Senator elect met
biz friends and made speech the tenor OF which l

A prominent politician the editor Of a Democratic
paper, who has occupied high position in the State
Government assures Inc that no DemocFal voting
for the Republican candidate would have been per-

member when the Clerk called the roll in joint bal
