House OF REPRESENTATIVES,. Feb. 20
In the House Mr.. Stevens reported,
from the Committee on Reconstl uction,
q joint resolution, that in order TO close
agitation on a question which seems
likely to disturb the action OF the Gov
eminent, rs we'll 81 to quiet the uncer-
tainty which exists in the minds Of the
people Of the eleven States which have
been declared to be in insurrection, no
Senators or Representatives shall be adj
mitted into Congress from either of the
said States until Congress shall have de-
e1arod such states entitled to such repre-
sentation. Mr.. Grider presented a mi
nority report, which, after considerable
objection, he obtained leave 10 read and
which concluded with a resolution de-
claFing that the State Of Tennessee is
entitled to representation, and that her
Representatives be hereby admitted to
seats IN Congress On qualifying them
selves according to law. Mr.. Stevens
sa!d there had been an earnest DISPOSE
ton until the day previous referring to
the reception OF the Presidents Veto, to
inquire into the subject, and see wheth-
er they could admit the State of Tennes-
see to representation in Congress but
now such q state of things existed as to
place it wholly out OF the power of the
Committee to proceed further, without
abandoning a great principle, and sur
rendering the rights of Congress to the
usurpations of another power. He then
demanded the previous question, Mr..
Rogers of New jersey protested, amid
cries of "order" against the passage of
the resolution under the "gag rule. y
Great excitement then ensued, several
members on both sides Of the House
earnestly entreating Mr.. Stevens to
withdraw his demand for the previous
question, and allow time for cOnsidera-
ton and debate for SO important ques-
ton. Mr.. Stevens exclaimed, 1--WE are
standing on an earthquake, and | dare
not yield" Messrs. Eldridge, Johnson,
Chandler, Fink, and others, finding en-
treaty in vain, endeavored to stave off
action on the subject by resort to par
liamentary tactics, and succeeded in so
doing until seven O'Clock in the even
ing, and until after it was announced
that the Senate had failed to pass the
Negro Bureau Bill over the Presidents
veto, when the minority yielded the
contest and the joint resolution was
passed by vote Of one hundred and
nine 10 forty. The House then adj

iafeiaperate R0GicaI Talk.

The Washington Str, Of Tuesday
afternoon, speaking Of the scenes in the
Senate Oh the Consideration in that body
OF Mr.. Jo'inson's veto OF the Ereadmen's
Bureau bill, says:
The ieverishness about the halls OF
Congress today has surpassed anything
witnessed there for some years. The eX-
pectation that ga exciting debate would
spring up on the question OF the Presi-
Dental veto ct the Freedmen's Bureau
bill drew throngs to the Capitol; and
the balls oVernowed into the Hobbies ants
passages after 4 sort reminding one OF
the Old field days in Congress, when HE
Iitans OF debate took part in the cen
test.
The bail was opened in tie Senate,
something sooner than expected by the
introduction during the morning, by
Senator Wade, of 4 resolution to amend
the Constitution making the President
Of the United States Ineligible ior re-
election. Mr.. Wade pro eeded in very
Incorporate language to advocate his
amendment, the whole purpose OF It's
Introduction being evidently to enable
wrath against the President. BY impli-
cation-almost in SO many wertls1he
spoke Of the President rs no better than
a rebel and d traitor. Tie overshot the
mari. sensibly by the violence and pas
sion Of his utterances, and not only rot
nasynpatfetae response from his friends
IN tlle galleries, but on sitting down
ready to be congratulated b. his Radical
brothers, no member OF the Senate adj
vaneed to do him honor. Heseelnee, in
fact. IT, have uftnaskod the Radical bat
