WASHINGTON, ID. c., 21--The Credi
Mobiiier proceedings in the House to-day
although Of Il more important and strk;n
character than those of yesterday, did no
seem to have as muc. interest for the pub
liz, yet the galleries we're fairly full, an,
the audience was well dressed and intel
ligent one. The ladies were not perlBitte,
ON the ilour, and tn, rules were understoo,
to be very strictly enforced, but they were
sot, and the order of the House was mate

in rear of the members seats. The pre-
/ limInaries were soon over. the journal
being short, and the Chaplain's prayer
unusually brief. lie did not, honever,
neglect to ask the Lord, which was very
/ appropriate, by the way, to remember the
infrmitie5 Of man.
/ The resolution to expel Ames and
Brooks came over from last night, and it
was arranged that Poland should close the
/ debate in an hours speech, and that the
voting should then begin. Amcs was in a
front seat, with large and handsome
bouquet on his desk, a compliment from
Mrs. Gen. Sherman. This makes three he

ordinary one. lie favored the expulsion Of
all. Townsend, Of NeY York, who has
been here 80 little since his election to
Congress, that he is not known to half the
officers of the House, ml'.c Il feeble speech
also. Fernando Wood misqnoted his refer

Potter ana Speer also spoke, the latter
making Il cred table argument. Sargent Of
California, then presented substitu Tor

place of expulsion, i, absolutely condemn,

want any further discussion.

Massachusetts, to the surprise and indig4a
sun OF the House AM galleries had the
c;frontcry 10 vote.
The 81 lbstitute of Sargent was then,taken
up. AMI T. flood Of questions of order, parlia
mentary inquiries, and appeals to the Chair
poured in. Speer, Democrat from Penn,

Hooper No.
The vote for the censure o. Brooks was
nearly the same in character but SMALLER
