Tbaddeus Stevens.
General o. o. Howard was introduced, and

We're lot out of the woods, nor was the work

not even conversed with any of the

from what he had heard, he was con-
WINGED that some of the persons he
should choose would be opposed by
combinations of influential men in the

because they e unfit or personally

Grant Speaks.

Messrs. Morton, Wilson and Pruyn,
the committee appointed to notify
General Grant of his election, waited
upon him at his headquarters, in
Washington, on Saturday morning at
half past ten o'clock. Senator Morton
made a formal announcement in an
appropriate, complimentary speech,
abiding to the qualities which had de-
termined the country in its choice,
and to the expectations that men en-
tertained of the name in which the
trust would be discharged.
General Grant, after replying form
ally to the compliments conveyed, and
saying that he should try faithfully
and earnestly to discharge the duties
of his new position. said there was
one subject to which be desired to 81.

Mr.. Scott, of Warren, thought the
bill had not been fully and fairly dis.
cussed. He wanted an opportunity to
do so, before the bill was to be brought
to4a final vote. He, therefore, desir-

Mr.. hughes, of Butler said the
whole day had been spent in offering
and discussing amendments. He
wanted al opportunity to speak on
the bill before it was brought to e.

and desired to give his reasons for ia
voring its passage.
Mr.. Walling thought it strange now
that the friends of the bill sought
more time. The consideration of the
bill had been forced on the House to-
day by the friends of the bill. All
the amendments offered to-day were
in good faith and to perfect the bill.
He wanted it settled now.
