WASHINGTON, February II, 1869.
THE LATE DISGRACEFUL SCENE IN
THE JOINT CONVENTIONAL CALM
WADE AND BUTLER.
In expectation Of a repetition of the ex-
citing debate in the House an immense au-
dience filed the galleries Mt an early hour
to-day, hut the excitement-seekers were
somewhat disappointed, for whilst there
was n good deal of earnest and some heated
Discussion on tho pending resolution of
Butler. there were no occurrences that,
like those of yesterday, may be charnc-
terized as diarrncrful: and excert Mt one
period, when about twenty members were
nj the same moment seeking the r~ecogni-
ton of the Speaker. there was no tumult.
As anticipated in nv dispatch last night,
the storm in the Republican sky has blown
over, and there only remains the rumbling
thunder Of the Wade and Batter elements.
Even Buffers wrath towards old Ben Wade
say to-day that he loved, respected, and
gave support 70 the man who yesterday
choked him OFF the floor nf the House. The
controversy is now dwindled into compare
lively small proportions, there being left
but the cold argument upon the constitu-
tionality Of the twenty-second rule and the
subsequent joint resolution relative to
counting the Georgia vote. Nevertheless,
there is grave difference of opinion exist
ing among the Republican members, espe-
cially among the great leaders Of the party.
The Democrats arc generally dieposed to
let the Republicans fight it out among
themselves in the hope that, like the
Kilkenny CATS" they will destroy each
other.
ACTION OF THE WAYS AND MEANS
COMMITTEE.
The Committee of Ways and Means to-day
passed n resolution requesting the President
to open negotiations with the Canadian Co.
vernment for the free navigation of the
river st. Lawrence, the protection Of the
fisheries, and for general commercial inter
course.
RECONSTRUCTION CONMITTEE-MIS.

siaered the Mississippi report to-day, and
