10y TELEGRAPH TO THR TRiBuNkl
Vu,sr,DoroN, June 10.-A final adjournment was
A+1 ~ nine o'clock Tonight, with all the appro-
nratons bills Passed and no important business I'M
disrosed Of This was arrived at after two extern
sious of the hour fixed for adjournment and 10 spite
~ die frantic oppositon manifested by few carpet
beecers in both Houses, supported by small num-
her of other Administration Republicans of the most
superseryiceable stripe to delay in every way pos
sible the business. The outrageous amendment 10
put the elections in the control of the President
which was fostcd upon an appropriation blu on III
day night in shameless violation OF the eAphcl'
rule of the Senate, was the stumbng-block
in the way Of adjournment it was not
entirely removed, but was so whitfield away
by two successive notifications, that very
little that is dangerous left except the bad prn-
ciple of authorizing intemeddling by Federal au-
thority in local elections The last modification
was drawn 10y Mr.. Kerr Of Indiana, and provides
that the Federal supervisors shall have no power to
interfere with the ballot count, but shall merely
sit as witnesses at the polls. 1t was this amendment
Of Mr.. Kerr's that finally brought the two Houses
together and avered extra session. which was SO
confidently counted upon that the President had
his PROCLAMATION converting Congress not only
wntten but actually put in print last evening
Tho House met at o'clock to-day, and Mr.. Gar
field presented the conference report the Sundry
Civil Appropriation bill. The Democrats had
taken counsel together, and concluded that
they ought not to let the Force amend
ment pass even as modified by. the
conference They began fhbusterng with the evident
purpose Of keeping II up until noon when the session
would expire All hopes OF avoiding the threatened ex-
ira session appeared to have vanished, when Mr. Kelley

and cloouence into the scale favor Of fair play to the

got Into its present shape by tho practice OF
false pretenses, such as he had sent men TO
prison for when he upon the bench; the
Democrats had allowed the bill to 60 to conference On
the pledge Of q Senator (meaning Colo who had come
upon the floor and promised that the Senate should
recede from the Force amendment. Mr.. Kelley's bold
and manly speech, which delivered IN forcible
and impressive manner, produced panic among the
Administration followers, aud broke the back Of the
conspiracy for extra Nj. Garfield tried II

blow 10y denOuncing of the Democrats

ment. 1t was Of use, however Every unprcjudiced
man knew that it the Senate that had taken the
revolutionary course, and that the minority in the
House were only defending themselves against the
grossest deception and imposition
Bingham in fiery speech, went st further than Gar
field and declared that resistance TO the Senate amend

Unconstitutional and damning as that treason inaug-

sprang TO his feet and denounced Bingnams statement
as lie. Great excitement and clamor ensued. Bing-
