Last Day Of the Struggle.

The Washington telegraphic correspondent
of the Baltimore american of the Sd, gives tn
following synoptical account of the last strue
gle in the House of Representatives over til
proposition to change the rules OF that body
| To-day has been the most exciting OF tn
present session, and the result is victory 70
the moderate Republicans over the extremis
on their own side and the Democratic tiibus
tiers OH the other. The Democrats were yer,
| much out OF temper, and some very sharp col
loquys took place between various member
and the Speakers during the course of the pro
ceedlngs. Almost Immediately after the day
session mad begun, Beck and Randall charged
! the Speaker for recognizing General Butler ant
| his supporters to the conclusion of their sids
OF tn louse. Speaker Blaine, with somt
warmth OF n1anier, repealed the accusation
declaring, with perfect truth, that that side llau
always had more than its fair proportion o
time. General Butler, carly in the course OIL
the proceedings, endeavored to get Through
the resolution which had buen twice defeated
On yesterday, to suspend the les in order to
allow the Committee on Rules to report at
once, but failed to get the necessary two-thiru.
vote. Randall then made the satirical inquiry
whether it would not now be in order to slls-
pend the rules and rush the Appropriation bill
through without debate. Gen. Garfield of the
Committee on Rules, then moved to suspend
the rules and put upon its passage the rule
submitted by Hale, OF Maine, on yesterday =
Gen. Butler, who was in one Of his surly
moods, objected to tile portion of the rule re-
curing tWo-thirds vote to order the previous
question on the same day that the etsiire was
first considered, and announced that as it was
not amended to suit his views he would oppose
the rule. Gen. Garfield refused to accept the
amendment, and tue question being put, the
motion was defeated, the necessary tWo-thii DIS
hot,
Democrats began TO brighten up, as the eyisl,l-
| tive day OF Mollay had been prolonged into
to-day, for the express purpose OF gettiag the
new rule before the House u:ller Il suspension
of the rules, which precluded tilibustering.-

pension OF the rules can be moved Sener, of
Virginia, although the Republican Of this city
had as the organ Of the Southern Republicans
denou iced him as IL Judas Iscariot, still sided
with the Democrats, and it seemed as if the
Republicans would fail in securing two-t thirds
vote. In the meantime, however, messengers
had been sent for absentees, and every posi-
biz effort made to present the full strength Of
the party. Kasson, Of Iowa, then renewed
General Buffers motion allowing the Commit
tee on Rules to report forthwith, and it
was carried by a vote OF Isl to 80, just
one vote in excess Of the necessary two
thirds. On the result being ANNOUNCED the
Democrats made another exhibition Of their
mutinous temper. In the midst OF g great
deal OF confusion. General Garfield, of the Com
mlttee Oh Rules. Immediately reported the
rule before introduced by Hale, OF Maine. The
noise and confusion was now greatly Increased
by the action OF Cox and Randall, both OF
Wno!n rendered their designations as members
on the Committee on Rules. At this speaker
Blaine forcibly remarked that the gentleman
from New York (Mr. Cox had the right of res
ignation, but to bring it up for dramatic effect
only, he thought, would suggest itself even to
Mr.. Cox as being simply trifling with the
House. The Speakers sharp manner ana the
Use of the words "dlasnatic effect made a
great sensation in the House, and dozen

feet, some one on the Republican side re-

protesting against the action Of the Speaker,
and declaring that a gentleman taking the
floor should not be subject to ridicule and
/ sMeers. Speaker Blaine made a few qlletin2
remarks in explanation of his language, and
the matter was passed over. Debate then pro

ing in vehement declamatio S, while the Re
publicans confined themselves to argument
with the exception of General Butler, who
urged cN RENE views, and was opposed to any
concessions to the minority. The exigencie:
OF the present, he said, demanded a specia
rule. Speaker Blaine, in a brief speech in sup
port OF the rule, during which he confused
