Much 10 the astonlshmcnt of all parties
the House this afternoon passed the pro.
posed Amendments 10th Constitution as 4
came from the committee Of fifteen. Upor
the call, 'Shall the main question be put p
seven Democrats and few Conservative
Republicans voted with the Radicals, thus
cutting of an amendment. Upon the final
vote the whole Republican strength was
cast In the affirmative, and all the Demo-
Gratis voted In the negative, thus the Joint
resolution was carried by 1873 TO 81.
The vote was taken amid great excite
ment. Its announcement was received by
a perfect storm of cheering. Mr.. Stevens
closed the debate in savage speech, scout
| ing the idea Of striking out the third sec
tlon, Without which, he declared, the whole
amendment would be worthless law for
which he wouldn't give snap of his fin
ger. lie said he would never sit side by
side with men whose clothes smelled of the
blood of his kindred.
Among the Democrats who voted with
the Radicals, on putting the main question.
were Rogers, of New Jersey, Chandler, OF
New York, Harding and Others, of Ken
lucky. The object of these Democrats In
thus voting was TO put the measure before
the people Ia Its odious form and thus sel
cure Its ultimate defeat.
The other Democrats deprecate this ac-
tlon, and are much annoyed at what they
regard rs q weakness Of judgment on the
part of their brethren.
L understand that General s. Il. Cary
Will not be confirmed as Collector of the
second District of Ohio. Already the
friends of other candidates are besieginp
the President on behalf of their favorites.
Maxwell L. Gaddis seems to be the favorite
IN case of the rejection of General Cary.
. Wlth few unimportant amendments the
Senate passed the House bill providing for
the coinage of tlve-cent Pieces. The bin
requires the Withdrawal from circulation
OF the three and five-cent postal currency.
The House bill to impose tax of twenty
per cent, dd drlorenl, on live animals
horses, mules, cattle, sheep, hogs, &c, inn
ported from foreign countries, was passed
to-day by the Senate, with proviso that
live animals In Canada now, bona fde,
owned by citizens of tho United States,
may be imported free of duty within ten
days after the passage of this act.
The Senate took another pull at the Post
Office Amendment restricting the Presi-
dents appointing power, but throughout
the whole discussion, as was the case yes
terday, the real matter IN issue was not re-
ferred to. The debate to-day was but
another installment of generalities and ir-
relevent issues.
