out to-day without the trouble OF resigulng To-
gan presented the case against him very forctbly.
which, In word, WAS that the man who had been
declared by the Honse guilty Of PenItenna1y
offence might properly be excluded. Fa.nsxorth,
Schepck, and Poland srted to have the subject rr-
fcrred to the Judiciary Committee, but Logan H.
sisted upon the previous question upon preamble
setting forth the character Of the offence and ac-
non Of the House thereon, and resolution ex-
cluding Whittemore and directing the return Of
his credentials to the Governor Of South Carolina.
The previous question Was sustained tF 81 to 81,
about thirty Republicans voting in the negative
some because they desired farther debate; some
wiahing to receive him on the ground
that 1t Was his constitutional right to be
admitted, even If the House exercised
tts constitutional right OF expel1lnR him
Immediately afterward, upon the direct vote OF
exclusion, the yeas were 151; na}s n. The fox
lowing voted negative: Arnell, Aver, Rail {Aasa),

FRAxEISa BILL
The Ftank1ng bill went overheard In the Senate
to-day, By two majority, and Immediately there
after delegation OF its supporters and It's orpo-
uents went across to whstney's corner to mingle
their tears over its unttmely taking OF. The pro-
ceenings In the Senate on this measure constitute
the bsoadest farce Of The season There are not
more than dozen members Of the body who think
It would be wise to abolsh the frankng privilege,
And the principal effort has been to save the law
By making speeches and giving rotes against it.
The game EaB nice one, and 1t took five days to
play it out; hut the majority has nerer intended
to give up the fzanIng II the way coud be devised
for keeping It. Governor Ramsey, Of courEe, will
call up tho House hill aRatn, before the end Of the
session; but the Senate will laugh at him, and he
will take the defeat with all the cheerful rcsgna-
Ron Of philosopher.
