WASHINGTON, D. G.. Feb. 26.-At the opening
Of the House, to-day, there WAS By many hun.
dreds smaller audience in the galleries than
there was yesterday, but, before the hour oi
noon arrived, there Was tho same crowded
throng, packed closely on every scat, filing the
aisles aud doorways, and extending far into the
halls. When tho Crodit Mobilier proceedings
| began, there WAS an appearance Of about the
| game brilliant assemblage as Witnessed the dis
cussions yesterday, excepting there seemed to
! be fewer ladies present to-day. The reporters
gallery as usual, was jarnmed with a nondesc1ipt
regular reporters, and blocked up the commu-
nication between not only the sun and air, but
the outside world. The diplomatic gallery WAS
running oyer with ladies', among them being
Mrs. Fish, Mrs. Blaine, &c Gail Hamilton, g." Mrs
Williams, and many ladies OF the 81 foreign 1ega-
such ladies as could not obtain places in the GAL
leries to occupy seats upon..the floor was again
made, but WAS defeated By tho action Of the
most popular Of the young bachelors of the
who was crowded out of his seal
yesterday. The opposition to this courtesy to
the ladies came mostly from the Democrats, who
had been deprived of their places yesterday.
AS to those implicated in the Credit Mobilier
transactions, they we're early in their seats, and
watched the proceedings with unusual anxiety.
Mr. Brooks Was little tazdy, as be was yester-
day, in taking his seat, and no change was OBJ
sefvable in his appearance He struck every
physical prostration. Cakes Ames quito appro-
priately sat with Chaplain Newman, in his OBJ
SQUIRE seat On the right OF the Speaker, having On
the desk in front OF him handsome bouquet OF
1aponicas and heliotropes, presented, IS is aaid,
by lady who WAS overcome by his touching
speech Of yesterday. On the desk OF nearly half
the members of the House we're stacks OF law
books and documents. and it Was little aston
iBhing to see how studiously members we're en-
Gc.,-an operation which led the galleries
to believe that the question was to
be settled on sound principles, and not
by sympathetic personal appeals and
sophistry. The journal OF the House to-day
was very short one, and go the audience did
not have to wait long for the discussion which
they came to hear. Mr. Poland WAS first on his
feet, and desired to have some arrangement
made as to the discussion, and the time OF vot- |
ing. He said he would call q vote at O'Clock,
but this was subsequently arranged so that the |
beginning Of the vote without argument would |
close in one honr from the expiration OF the |
morning hour tomorrow. 4 young Maryland !
member, Mr. Ritchie, offered substitute to the |
Of severely censuring Ames, Kelley, Garfield, and
the whole lot.
1ir. Bingham. an implicated party, OBJ
1ect. Then the first speech was in order, and
reclamation is fdgety and exciting, and he vns
not in an argumentatiYe mood He denounced all
Of the participants in the stock Of the Credit
Mobilier, but could see no difference between
auencing the bribery by Ames, and laid the re-
to the Republican party. His was
he first partisan speech yet made On
The subject and was generally regarded
ls unworthy OF the man. Tho next speech Was
hat OF Voorhees,, who began at II o'clock. Ow-
fn thu fart that hiH ramarkH nf 4 rnra4v !
egI character, and devoted to close analysis
# the testimony Of the Poland Committee, he
lid not impress the audience with his oratory as
N previous occasions: His fine voice, however,
Toorhees made the mistake in defending Brooks.
he had little to say on the
eneral question, but all his strength was
1pended in the cause Of his special friend.
nj ii Mr. Brooks had been lia client before a ,
nry. The defense Of Brooks indeed Was his OBJ
ct in speaking. His idea Of the purity OF John !
. Alleys character was not shared by his listen
rs.. He made his case very satisfactory to the |
lause when be sat down. It was now after i {
clock, and. while these able lhwyea1s we're ex-
ounding the law to the members OF
le House in their character as jurymen, {
III the jury had vacated their boxes to
,nerous1y spread by an officer OF the Houee, | I
1t this did not deter A1r. Stevenson, Of Ohio, c
ON making the wickedest speech Of the dis a
[ssion. Ho made 8 great hit. Although, as
nses, i ~ and lis powerful Toice compelled a b
tient hearing. BE did not speak long, but his r
marks we're fearless and original Stevenson +
an enemy Of Blaine, but whether, as claimed c
the Speaker, he became so on &C. t.
unit Of Committee disappointment or g
: other reasons is not known, but he c
mly believes that the Speaker is not what be &
ght to be, and his fall Is not far distant Bis b
marks, therefore, very unjustly, we're framed p
make points against Mr. Blaine: Among his Il
ngent remarks was one in which he charged Il
1t the House Of Representatives was like an in

Ms had been disposed OF under the Speakers ri
MINER than in any other place on earth. Thus j
s wormwood to the Speaker. ME- Stevenson il

nmittee in casting their net had caught ri
