WASHINGTON, April 9.-"The Civil
Rights bill is the law of the land, the
objections of the President 10 the con-
trary, Notwithstanding" was the an
nouncement made by the Speaker of the
House, this afternoon, after brief, but
very exciting session. The notice given
on Saturday, that vote would probably
be taken to-day, attraeted immense
crowds to the Capitol. The spacious
galleries Of the House were overcrowded
by the time the session convened. The
floor of the House was also well filed
with distinguished spectators, including
number Of leading Senator'S, promi~
nent among whom was Mr. TrnmbuIl,
author OF the Civil Rights BILL While
there was little or no donbt of the com
ing result, the immense crowd seemed
even more excited and impatient than.
over the similar scene The Senate on
Friday. The Speaker several times
suspended business until the House
could become quiet. 81
At one o'clock, Mr.. Wilson, Chair
man of the Judiciary Committee, stated
that, as forty speeches had been. made
on the bill when on its passage in the
House, he was ndtsdisposed To allow any
now on the veto, and appealed to his
friends to sustain bis demand for the pre-
vious question. The Democrats then
commenced to make dilaiory motions
70 adjourn; to postpone it; during which
the Speaker made an elaborate parlia-
mentary decision that "a motion to lay
the bill on the table was in order. THIS
motion was therefore mad o. but AoaI, J,
thus developing atramendoUs majority
in favor of the bill over the veto. The,
Democrats then agreed to ct the ques-
ton come to VOTE ~ By this timet the
crowd was SO great that the reporters
were nearly driven, out of their seats by
the ladies, while Oh Ihe4 floor every
available bit Of space was occu-
pied. The yeas and naysl were taken
directly on the ,s4ne stioRs OF passing
lthe. bill, aud, as 5eserys name was

tested to hear the ragSonses. There
was a murmer of=excitsment as Davis

for the bill and against the veto. The
