FROM c0LUMBUS,


CoLuKBCs, O., Jan. 81, 1864,
There was sensation in the House to-day.
Last week, Coppcrhead named Larwell, Of
Ashland, was ousted because he did not re-
ceivc rs many votes rs his opponent, who
was refused certificate Of felcction by Cop
perhead County Clerk. The South Carolina
representative protested against the action,
falsely stating that Larwcll had been refused
hearing by counsel to his protest. The ma.
jority Of the House yesterday passed q rcso-
luton, dsclaring It to be untrue. To-day the
Copperheads entered d protest against this
resolution, In which they used uudignifed,
, diecourteous and ungentlemanly conduct to-
wards the Union men. Tho protest went
upon the journal Is as required by the con-
stitution, but Mr. Delano, {Union) notified
the aforesaid Copperheads that the minority
had rights rs wellas a minority, and they had
better respect them.
Wnste paper Olds then inflicted On the
House speech terribly long and dull, but
an excellent plea for martyrdom. He begged
members to expel him, to ccnsure him, so
that he could be martyr. He could well
afford to be one; is he not getting up "a rev
church, which Of course must have saints, and
the quickest way to become eaint was By
road Of martyrdom, but alas for the would-be
saint, his truck was too plain, and the ma
jority allowed him to take his seat without
designing to make the least reply or take
notice of what he said. A more com
p1ete failure has. not occurred during
the session. It Is whispered around
tonight, that he will make another trial on
Monday. The coppcrheads are so much at n
