SeryatiyeS Over the Administration.


HlsuNGrcN, D. G., March 1.-The Arlaa-
sGs question was the principal topic before
ale House to-day. The attendance of tho
members during the morning was scauty
&Dny Of them being completely worn out
.silh tic long and wearing session Of the pre-
JieBs night. Mr.. Jasper d. Ward held forth
IA hour il an exceedingly prosy manner,
arguing for the overthrow by Grants army of
Size State government of Arkansas. Mr. Say
ier, Of ONO, spoke next, 1T Il bad tmo Of the
NY. being near to the usual dinner hour
Ais speech was a most careful. logical, and
exhaustive argument in support Of the doc
lrinr of nOn-!nterterence.
fudge Poland was moro lucky, ana had his
opportunity in the evening, when both the
galleries and the house had been filled up
His speech was mixture of logic and good
sense, and humOr, and soon secured the I'M
divided attention Of the House. His sallies
s.. dry humor provoked continual laughter.
amt the speech was really one of the most
tectiyo aud successful that have been de-
2sered At this session of Congress-
II vas very apparent as he went on that IN
fss something could be done to break the
iorce Of the speech tho House would sustain

Ply The previous question had been ordered,
5.niler wanted to move to suspend the rules,
p IS to let Hynes make his speech but the
4Nhafr ruled this out OF order Mr. Butler grow
ny very Wrathy at the decision The vote
ssls taken amid good deal of excitement, but
She FIRST few responses indicated that very
aJge majority Of the House were opposed to
aa revolutionary programme fixed up 10y
layton and Endorsed by Grant and Jasper
Nayh.
The significance Of this action is very great
i was generally believed that, unless the
house signitied its disapproyal of the Execu-
ave policy IN most emphatic manner, the
1rst thing after the adjournment would be a
Nbeliion gotten up by Brooks in Arkan sas,
3iyii war, and the destruction of the existing
State government by the armed forces of the
United States. The action Of to-day is such
an emphatic rebuke to Grant that he Will
saTdly nov dare to go forward in the bloody
programme he he'd marked for himself This
'osnlt will probably not only secure peace in
Arkansas, but help to deter Grant from out
ages clseWera, such as he has asked Con
5ress to authorize III this case This is also
Gle first clean and permanent victory won 10y
ne moderate Republicans. The defeat is |
kcenly fell by Butler, Shanks, and their |
'hole gang OF miscreants, and will greatly |
enhance the rage they now feel toward |
speaker Blaine.
