THE MOB STILL WRATHFUL.
There was little or no cessation to-day
In the interest or excitement aroused "
the extraordinary and disgrscefui pro-
ceedings in Congress on yesterday
MORBID APPETITE.
As it was known that the discussion
would be resumed to-day on Buffers
/ motion to refer TO q committee his reso-
/ luton proposing to ceEsure Wade for his
| decisions in Joint convention, large
/ audience assembled in the House gRlie-
/ ries some time before the hour Of meet
1 ing, and by pm, there was neither
standing nor sitting room within the
hall. BY order Of the Speaker even the
| floor was cleared at one time OF the IN
/ terlOpers.
sHELLABARGER,
| of Ohio, opened the dizcussion day,
which lasted until 4:S0 pm. He opposed
/ Butler very bitterly, declared that some
of the latter's positions we're simply
! revolutionary, an1 accused him OF want
/ ing the Senate TO do the counting or the
vote-just what he had insisted the
House should BOG 90.
A CASE IN POINT.
The venerable Thomas, of Maryland,
then followed and said that it was his
fortune, thirty-three years ago yesterday,
to be named, in conjunction with gen
tlemAn from Tennessee, to count the
votes for President and Vice-Presidento of
the United States. A difficulty similar
to that of yesterday sprRng up. The
State OF Michigan, without Congress au-
thorizing It, had proceeded to organize
State government; but, said Mr.. Thomas,
looking at Butler az he spoke, Calhoun,
who was the mischief maker Of that day.
only succeeded in getting nine votes to
oppose resolution in the case OF Miehi-
gan similar TO that passed by Congress
IN the case OF Georgia.
JUDGE WOODWARD,
of Pennsylvania, made the first speech
on the Democratic side, and was listened
to sttentively, membe OF both parties
focking around him. He did not regard
the Michigan and Georgia cases as at all
analogous.
ELDRIDGE,
OF Wisconsin, declared that the concur.
rent resolution passed IN the Georgia
Gaze was unconstitutional, and all others
that virtually repealed the law under
which the electoral votes were counted.
AN OLD sCOkE.
Mr.. Bingham next took the floor on
the Radical side, and flew at Butler like
a tiger. The fire Of their old quarrel was
rekindled. He reiterated that Buffers
position on this question was the doc
trine Of secession and the spirit Of revO-
luton. The members gathered around
him, and the galleries tingied with sp-
plause as he hurled this epitbst again
and again at Butler, who g5ood before
him in affected dramatic attitude,
sCHESCK
Then made a long speech, sustaining
Butler.
sMILER TAKES A HAND.
Mr.. CoIfsx came down from the
Speakers chair and three times replied
70 Mr.. Schenck, and defended his order
Of yesterday in joint convention for the
arrest Of disorderly members.
A RANDOM SHOT.
Mr.. Garfield succeeded Mr.. SChcnck,
and like the rest OF the Ohio delegation,
but ths latter sustained the ruling of
Mr.. Wade on yesterday. As Mr. Gar
field sat down he moved to lay Mr.. But
ler's resolution on the table. The mo-
ton was unexpected, and, as it cut off
debate, created st once Intense confusion. /
DISTINCTION on ACCOUNT OF COLOR
From AN USEXPECTED SOURCE.
Mr.. Butler screamed out, looking at
Garnsiu, TnaJ Is UUe mEauesU tuIng
white man ever did in Congress- The
distinction on account Of race and color
provoked great laughter.
GARFIELI CRkWFISHES.
Finally Garfield was overwhelmed
with protests and Withdrew his motion.
BUTLER GOES FOR EN-.
Mr.. Logan got the floor, but yielded to
Butler, who replied to Bingham, Rccus-
ing the latter Of persistently repeating
his rhetorical eilGsions to the war and
the growth OF the common law as the
gathered wisdom of a thousand years.
This brought down the house in roars Of
laughter.
BREATHING SPELL.
Finally, at 4:30, the House took re-
cess on this matter till to morrow, when
Mr.. Logan, OF Illinois, proposes to speak.
IMPEACHMENT OF WADE.
Butler & Company have been seriously
considering the impeachment OF Wade,
but there are enough Republicans with
the Democrats to table the pending resO-
lutiOns.
JOHN c. BRECKINRIDGE
will leave Baltimore for New York next
week, and thence returning, will meet
his children at Gen. Lees college, Lex
ington, Va. He will then proceed di-
rectly TO Kentucky.
ANNIE SURRATF.
The Board Of Trustees Of Baltimore
rejected the application of Annie Sur
RAFT for the position OF teacher in the /
public schools. She is educated, and !
competent for the place, but the Board,
it is stated, are prejQdiced against her
