Armng of Southern States monopoised attention, and
every speaker after having expressed his views briefly
IN the subject, called to order for speaking
dill pending when not before the House. This move
nent is evidently prominent in the mind of every
member. Garfield was unwilling to adjourn until his
party friends in the South were armed Washburne,
recognised as Grants "organ" in the House, disap
proves the measure, on the ground that within ten
lays these would be in the hands of the rebels

the President would sign veto all bills pending"
The Speaker announced that the President had signed
he tax bill, with protest. Boyden of North Caroli-
Ia protested against sending arms there; they are,
,r were not, needed and would only tend to create
strife and excite passion, which he thought it was the
luty of Congress to assuage, and if possible to pre-
vent. Devices, from North Carolina, made wild
speech, appealing for arms and using belligerent Ian
,uage, saying, in effect, "Come on Come on! The
representatives of four millions of people, though they
lad dark SKINS would be in the front 7! This speech

ion case for Pile, and adjourned. w

lent had said their governments were illegal and their
otes could not be counted and the President had the
urse the sword and the Senate far heard from.
Congress adjourned, every Southern State would be
arried for the Democratic ticket. Butler believed it,
