Chtruhic smile, gracefully smootbed down his
silver locks. The other Republicans were In
ecstacies. Before the clerk had half concluded
calling the roll a sufficient number OF Demo-
cratic votes had been secured to refuse to recon-
init the bill without instrucing the committee
to strike out the enacting clause. The vote
stood ca to As. The motion to strike out the
enacting clause was carried by vote of 70 to
%; of the yeas 81 we're Democrats.
THE SHATTERED RANKS OF THE YOUNG DE-
HoCRACY.
On the announcement of this vote dismay and
CONSERVATION were pictured on the faces of the
Young Democracy. This vote settled the fate OF
the three bills pending in the committee; bat
Mr.. Herman, taking the bull by the horns,
single-handed and alone-for there was no other
orator to help him-determined to fight till
death. He changed his vote for the purpose OF
rec0nsidering and requested that the motion lie
on the table, in order that the bill might be
perfected at some future time. But the unre-
lenting Hustled, who led the new combination,
refused to show the Young Democracy any quar-
ter, and again, aided by his traitorous allies
from the Democratic side, frightened his grip,
and killed Mr.. Tiernan's motion by a vote of 40
TO Az Mr.. Herman, on hearing this announce
ment, raised his eyes to heaven, and said that
within the last twenty-fou hours
THE DESTROYING ANGEL
ha6 passed over the house of Israel. Mr.. Jacobs,
humiliated at seeing the Democratic party dis
graced by unprincipled scoundrels, turned to
Husted and sarcastically asled him, as the
leader of the new majority, TO do him the favor
to permit the House to adjourn. The Repuol-
cans responded by derisive roars of laughter.
MR.. JACOBS ADDRESS AT THE GRAVE.
When the name of John o. Jacobs of Kings
was reached, that gentleman said he deprecated
the position in which the Democratic party on
this floor had placed themselves. For seventeen
years the city of New York had been burdened
with odious Republican laws. Now she asks a
Democratic Legislature to relieve her from the
incubus. The people of the State had asked the
repeal of obnoxious laws, but we see here to-
day that their expectations and their rights had
been betrayed. He warned
DEMOCRATS TO BEWARE
how they tri6ed with the people. If they did
not now stand true to principle 1t wonld be a
long time before the people would again intrust
them with power. The city of New York
through her delegation, had asked for these
bills, and it was our duty to pass them. But
what is the result? Democrats are voting with
Republicans against abolishIng these commits
sions. 1t was disgrace. He saw that there was
no further use of voting upon these bills. He
could see by the cheerful faces of his Republican
friends here how they were enjoying their tr-
umphs. He suggested that no further votes be
taken on these bills, as 1t was given out they
were to be killed. Jacobs spoke with unusual
warmth and earnestness.
Peter Mitchell denounced those Democrats
who had voted with the Republicans, and charged
them with
SELLING THEIR VOTES.
He wished them JOY in their new associations
". y Sun today.
