The SCENE in the House yesterday while the
governors veto of the " civil equality" bill was
under discussion was rather an unusual one. Or
ordinary occasions the bar which separates the
lobby from the floor Of the house presents but
long row of black faces ald woOllyIheads of corn
neld darkles. come TO gaze at the strange aDd DE-
tirg side by side with white gemmen," aud
having equal rights TO talk about laws and
vote upon them. The inside of the bar, too, is
usually lined with colored {" frens OBJ de men,
bers,n who, with rather stuck-up air at the
reflection on their superior privileges, look some
what disdainfully on their brethren outside, peer
ing curiousy the railing, and having TO strug
gle even TO get place at that.
But yesterday it was different. The crowd in
the lobby was three or four times as great as
usual, but more than half of them were white
men, who were determined for once to see what
the much talked of Legislature looked like. The
inside Of the bar was also very full, there being
great many white men and any number of
colored men. The House had been very noisy
during the first part of the proceedings, but when
the discussion of the veto commenced, perfect
quiet reigned throughout the spacious hall and
every man gave bis serious, earnest attention to
the debate. As the discussion progressed it was
curious to watch the change of countenance of
the members as one colored member after another
announced that he indOrsed Gov. Wsrmoth's
course, and as one white Radical after another fol;
lowed in their wake.
When the colored men themselves spoke IN fa-
vor of the bill the same strict quiet attention was
given. One colored man, Hail. spoke from notes,
sDd another, Holland, of Tensas, read his speech
from manuscript which lay on his desk. But one
Democrat, Mr.. Pratt, of Claiborne, spoke to the
veto. Two white Radicals spoke for the veto and
against the bill. When the roll was called, and as
member after member answered to his name, the
faces OF the advocates of the BILL they saw the
chances of its success slipping away, became
more and more lowering, and those OF its oppo-
nente brighter and brighter.
When the final result was announced by the
spesker-"Thirty-two yeas to thirtytwo nays,
and the bill does not pass"-a slight stir went
around the hall, an attempt at applause. quickly
stifed by the speaker, and the crowd who had
occupied the lobby and floor turned to depart,
while the House proceeded TO other business
Those of our readers interested in the matter will

JUDGE COOLEY requests us to state that it was
not Gerard who was the registrar that refused to
register his name, after taking the legal oath.
Hanmore was the individual. II makes no differ
ence ss TO the mere name in the legal proceedings;
but it is due to Gerard that he should not bear
too much of the opprobrium of Baker and his
cabal. The registrars obeyed the order of Judge
Leaumont and registered Judge Cooley. We
presume Baker took the snubbing coolly.
