nAShiNGION, JAuuaTy 1t, 1oIU'
The interest in Virginia matters was CEN
tired in the proceedings of the House to-day,
where it was known q vote was to be taken
upon the Reconstruction Committees bill
and MIR. Bingham's substitute.
The apparent equal division of the House
upon the Committees bill heightened the
solicitude, which grew to excitement as the
time approached for taking the vote. Mean
time the diversion was enhanced by
parliamentary passage-at-arms between
Messrs. Wood, of New York, and Farms
worth, of Illinois--the former charging the
latter with bad faith to the committee in
failing to support their bill, which Farms
worth las chairman) had been instructed
to report.
This charge aroused Mr.. Farnsworth,
who explained his position, showing that
he was not necessarily bound to support q
bill because his committee had instructed
him to report it to the House.
He then animadverted upon the conduct
of the member from North Carolina (Mr.
Whittemore) for introducing to the House
the memorial of what he termed disap-
pointed oifice-seekers, mentioned yester-
day, and which Mr.. Farnsworth character
lied as that lying, absurd paper. He pro-
ceeded to defend Governor Walker from the
charge of attempting to release rebel pri-
soners, etc., and denounced it rs q libel-a
gross libel-a damnablc ibel-upon Go
vernon Walker.
Mr.. Farnsworth was very severe upon
| Porter, the member elect from Richmond,
whose trial for reasonable and seditious
actions he set forth, showing that Porter
had been tried and found guilty during the
war and sentenced to Imprisonment and to
wear ball and chain, and that his SEN
tcnce WAS approved by General Butler.
Mr.. Farnsworth paid high compliment
to a colored member OF the Virginia Legis-
latllrc who had advocated the adjustment
of test -oaths, &C., and concluded by saying
that he would much rather be guided by
the wisdom of that colored man than the
opinions and advice of the man who wore q
ball and chain.
The time for taking the vote upon the
various amendments arrived, and the
House proceeded, amid excitement and in
tense interest manifested upon the floor and
ia the galleries. The several amendments
being disposed of, the question was upon
the passage of Bingham's substitute, being
q simple preamble and resolution admitting
Virginia to representation Internationally.
Tie result was o majority of three In favor
of the substitute, the vote being So to 3d.
The question was then taken upon the
passage of the bill, which resulted in a
vote of l42 for and 40 against. Upon the
announcement Of the vote, there was gene.
raj applause throughout the hall.
The following is the vote on Bingham's
substitute
