Your Committee appointed at meeting OF the Coun-
Gill; JAM 4th, to see that volunteers properly and
equally credited to the several wards would report

the Provost Marshal Of this District S2 estima-
ted quota under the last call for 200 00O is 49, whole

Extraordinary scenes in the House Of
Representatives.
The following account of an exciting scene
in the House of Representatives, is given in
THE Chicago Tribune, special dispatch from
Washington. The coppcrheads are being
unmasked. Strive as they will to keep
their real principles and intentions hid from
the people, the more unwary, in the heat of
debate, ''let the cat out of the bag"
WASHINGTON, April 10, 1864
Saturday was one of the most exciting of
the session. Immediately on calling the
House to order, without waiting for the jour-
nal to be read, Speaker Colfax, calling RoI.
Inns, of New Hampshire, to the chair intro
Inf 70 Of
for reasonable utterances in a written speech
on Friday afternoon. The language com
planned of was that the only alternative
before to to acknowledge the Southern
Confederacy, or to subjugate and extermi-
nate the Southern people, he (Long) preferred
the former Mr.. CoIfax supported his reso-
luton in brief speech, and was followed
by little Cox, who disclaimed for himself and
party, any sympathy with the sentiments
argued by Long, and quoted the words of
Greeley and others in 1861, and the apeech
of Conway in the last Congress, mostly in
defense of the right of revolution, which Cox
COMPOUNDED with the right of secession. Cox
declared that although the Democratic par
ty desired to conciiate by continually offer
ing amnesty to the rebels, they were for
the Union by any means, come peace, come
war. NOA ulu HIS very DSSI 10 ulNGIt dJteu-
ton from the direct issue.
Mr.. Kelly followed with one of his char
acteristic speeches
James c. Allen, with his usual dullness
argued the parliamentary point.
Mr. Garfield powerfully showed the vital
difference between the right of revolution
and the right of secession, and brought the
House back to the real question, eloquently
arguing that speeches like Longs were bet
ter calculated to give the enemy aid and
comfort, in the way they most desired, than
any thing else.
Harris, of Maryland, Fernando Wood,
Mallory Pendleton and several others rose
simultaneously at the conclusion of Gar
fields speech. The floor was awarded to
Harris, and members crossed over to that
side of the chamber to hear him, till the
House looked like town meeting with a
tall bald headed man making harangue in
the center Harris felicitated himself on an
opportunity to come to the rescue of one
VINO so nearly conceded with him in senti-
meut, and was exposed to the tyranny of a
frantic majority Warming up with his
subject, Harris began to gesticluate violently
denounced as liars all who affirm that slave
ry is the sum of all vilainies, and said he
Moulu never vote q indu OF d uOIldr Tor this
Internal war. He finally invoked Almighty
God that the South might never be subju-
gated.
At this point cries of order were heard il
several parts of the hall, and Tracy of Penn
commenced speaking IN loud voice, but
could not be heared 10y reason OF the confu-
sion.
The Speaker pounded violently ON his
i l. H. .l,ary L.
After order was partly restored, Mr.. Wash.
burne demanded that Mr.. Harris words be
