fnent, had fizzled. The indications are that
the vote viii be very close, and that the issue
will be forced before the Senate adjourus.
Senator Morton is speaking with the in
tention of holding the Senate in session till
it votes. The vote will be close. Those
who have watched the debate and the course
of the senators have little doubt Of the
passage Of some bill for the reconstruction
of louisiana.
The debate has been very bitter. The
Democrats and the Liberal Republicans have
so lar confined themselves to putting pun
gent questions to the members of the COM
mittees who offer different solutions of the
problem.
Senator, Morton, during his speech, recon-
mends mastery Inactivity as regards Louisi-
ana; that Kellogg Is able to take care of HIM
self, but il he needs assistance we know that
the President is ready and willing to give it.
The Credit-Mobilier committee have re-
ported resolutions expelling Senator Patter-
son. There is no resolution regarding Sena-
tor Harlan. The ommittee has no jurisdic-
ton over Vice-President Colfax.
A motion to tablethe Louisiana bill failed.
1t was made by Dir. Cole to facilitate appro-
priations.
House.-The proceedings in this body to-
day were quite sensational. The House met
at 10 O'Clock, and discussed the expulsion
resolutions until past noon. It then pro-
ceeded TO vote on substitute offered by Mr..
Sargent, OF California, for the resolutions,
and this was carried by majority of four.
Then Mr.. Sargenps resolution, absolutely
colndemlilig the conduct of Ames and
Brooks. were adopted by vote of five to
one.
Another resolution. by Mr.. Sargent, to
discharge the committee and thus end the
whole matter, was defeated by majority of
twenty, thus again throwing open the whole
subject.
Mr.. Speer, Of Pennsylvania then offered
resolution censuring the conduct of Kelly,
and THAT was discussed amid great excite.
ment Till the hour for taking recess.
/ If that resolution be adopted it will be
followed by similar resolutions in regard to
Dawes, Garfield, Bingham, and Schotield.

bled. and the CrEdit-Afobilier committee dis
