THE NOS STILL WRATHFUL.
There was little or no cessation to-day
in the interest or excitement aroused ty
the extraordinary and ~disgrsceful pro-
ceedings in Congress on yesterday.
MORBID APPETITE.
AS 1t was known that the discussion
would be resumed to-day on Buffers
motion to refer to q committee his reso-
luton proposing 70 censure Wade for his
decisions In Joint CO nventiOn, q large
audience assembled In the House galIe-
ries some time before the hour OF meet
ing, and by . pm, there was neither
standing nor sitting room within the
hall. By order of the Speaker sven the
door was cleared st one time OF the in
tetlopers.
sHELLABARGER,
Of Ohio, opened the Discussion { o-day,
which lasted until 4:30 pm. He opposed
Butler very bitterly, declared that some
Of the latter's positions were simply
revolutionary, an1 accused him Of want
ing the Senate 10 do the counting OF the
vote-just what he had insisted the
House should Eot do.
A CASE IN POINT.
The venerable Thomas, of Maryland,
then followed end said that it was his
fortune, thirty-three years ago yesterday,
IN be named, in conjunction with q gen
tlemRn from Tennessee, to count the
votes for President and Vice-President of
the United States. A difficulty similar
20 that OF yesterday spraDg up. The
State Of Michigan, without Congress au-
thOrizing 1t, had proceeded to organize a
State government but, said MIR, Thomas,
at Butler as he spoke, Calhoun,
who was the mischief maker Of that day,
only succeeded in getting nine votes to
a resolution in the case OF Michi-
gan similar to that passed by Congress
n the case Of aeorgiA.
JUDGE WOODWARD,
u Pennsylvania, made the fist speech
IN the Democratic side, and was listened
o Rttentlvely, members OF both parties
around him. he did not regard
he Michigan and Georgia cases IS at all
analogous,
ELDRTDGE,
Wisconsin, declared that the concur
ent resolution passed In the Georgia
ase was unconstitutional, and all others !
hat virtusily repealed the law under !
which the electoral votes were ooun ted. ]
AN CLG 0LOhh.
Mr.. Bingham next took the floor IN :
ae Radical side, and flew at Butler like =
tiger. The fire of their old quarrel was
esindied. He reiterated that Buffers .
Osition on this question was the doe. /
rine Of secession and the spirit Of revo- /
ltiOn. The members gathered around Q
i'm, and the galleries tingled with ap. Z
as he hurled this epithet again
nd again at Butler, who stood before
i'm In affected dramatic attitude.
sCHENCK
hen made a long speech, sustaining F
.utler. (
sMILER TAKES A HAND. I
Mr.. Colfax came down from the '
peaker's chair and three times replied
) Mr.. Echenck, and defended his order
Z yesterday In joint convention for the
OF disorderiy members.
a RANDOM SHOT. n
Mr. Garfield succeeded Mr.. Schenck, N
nd like the rest OF the 0hlo delegation, q
us the latter sustained the ruling OF p
lr. Wade on yesterday. AS Mr.. Gar B
cid sat down he moved to lay Mr.. But j
resolution On the table. Ths mo- II
on was unexpected, and, as 1t cut off III
ebste, created at once intense confusion. y
ISfINCTIoN ON ACCOUNT OF COLOR &c
FhOM AN UNEXPECTED SOURCE, ~
Mr.. Butler screamed out, looking at n
+erf1eid, THAT is the mssnest thing a @
.hite man ever did In Congress-" The te
on account of race and color hi
revoked great laughter, II
