the resolution, Its readngwas repeated and the words
Resolved, That IN the Onion OF this House the pre-
eedent established by WaAngton other Presidents
Of the United States in r&ring from the Presidential
Office after their second krm, has become by uni
vcrsal concurrence part Of republican
system OF government, and that any de-
parturc from this tnb honored custom would
be unwisc unpatrotic and raught with peril
70 our institutions" soulded like a death warrant,
which II doubtless will l. for the political future Of
some Of them During this second reading the repub.
got chance 20 dray breath one or then num-
eaEs lng TO his feet AMI moved 10 adjourn, but the
lid lost by i loud and icrocious '','on
tnat must have been lizard BY the people down
Pennsylvania avenue. The democrats quite
through with the businesslhey had In hand Revenge
was sweet They had tier opponents in chanccry,
and were gong 10 make al things even Adjournment
was out OF the question ioia few minutes Strangely
enough the demoralized minority ever compact and
cool In previous contests with tho other SIDE missed
their chance at this moment TO nlbustcr With the
motion TO adjourn lost TINY could have moved 10 nd
journ to particular tme aud have
sayed on vote kr the day f not in
definitely But the fact hey lost their head literally
and politically, for theii leader ex-Spcakcr Blaine
thought OF fsht .lan Of strategy and left the
rank and 1le TO their own resources Tho in the
group OF republican menlers had become painiul
to witness Environed by the democrats and watched
by the galleries the devoted band was the picture OF
despair and desperation. they eynced their anxiety
shifting uneasly from seal seat rising and going
about from one place TO another pursuit of advice in
twisting their boards, and in clutching OF the
hands. The roll call began dozen more broke and
to the cloak Al the Clerk reached the

deep momentary Stiffness The name was

pury form Of the gentleman from Maine being invis-
ibe to the thousands of eyes directed toward his
cant chair utter, laugh, and then broad gunaw
greeted the ingorious absence Of the republican cap
tain. Taking time by the foreock he had waited not
for tho announcement Of his distinguished cog
nomen, but as the Clerk had reached
General Banks among the BIS, the exSpeaker beat
rapid retreat to the cloak room and more
in the House until the little unpleasantncss over
General Garfield was among the panic-stricken
fugitives who at the first fire. but he recovered
his self possession, reformed in good order marched
back and the going of the roll for absensees
he vaantly recorded himself against a third
term. The agony was now nearly over. pause
ensued the clerk footed up the result and
232 votes against third term and Is favor OF third
term. The democracy are jubilant their triumph
and Springer is the lion of Washington tonight
as he doubtless will be for the rest OF tho session. The
eighteen third likewise but less gorously
conspicuous although many OF their republican
colleagues envy them their pluck, as day
OF reckoning must for all OF the
discounted minority who voted against
third term and win have to explain themselves at the
White House The spectre OF forfeited patronage and
revoked appointments peers from behind the record
Of todays vote. Tho happy eighteen need fear
in the long list of ofceholders
in their districts They can dictate to their
constituents what terms Of service they may choose
They Of various hues II is true but the fact will
to confirm the historical truth that the coored
troops fought noby." OF the uninching eighteen six
are of the bone OF the great contention.
The roll call of third termers is in brief as foows:-
Nathan Il. Bradley. Mich. Solomon L. Hogc s c.
Dudley G Denison VI Jay A. Hubbel Mich.
Jere HARRISON, Ala John A. Hyman " c.
John K. Lynch, MSS. Henry o. Pratt Iowa
c. d. McDougall n. Y. Robert Smalls, s. c.
Charles +. Nash, La Alex. S. Wallace s. C.
Horace p. Page, Cal. Josiah I. Walls Fla
Harris NJ. Plasted, Me. G. Wiley Wells Mss
John n. White, KY. Richard H. whiting Ill
Among those who voted against the third term were
H. O. Burchard, republican from Grants own tc wn
OF Gaena, III. The list of all the anti
third timers given in the press report of
the proceedings OF Congress will repay perusal and
reveal some singular Inconsistencies to people dwelling
under the shadow of the White House
At the termination of the voting Blaine came back to
his seat and was heard few minutes later in some
new matter. He frankly avowed that he had lodged
and explained that he could vote either way with
out appearing in the be ambitious OF being
Grants and in the other of displeasing his
friends Springer, when complmented his MASTER
piece of strategy and asked how he had to intro
duce the resolution, said
GENrLExRN--I am Methodist but am opposed to
third term. SO when Bishop Haven down there in
Boston the other day put Grant up for another term
thought would show the country that all Methodists
not for rant and wanted to just how Con-
gress stood on the same question.
These his words just about they dropped from
his lips in conversation the Speakers desk after
the adjournment One two OF those who
voted against the resolution say that they
did because they considered that the
House had business with the subject
at all, and that 1t nonsense The eighteen-or
rather the Northern part of them-have already begun
feel the force OF ridcule. There is no
doubt that tho fear of losing patronage con.
trolled the votes OF the white Southern rcpub-
lcans who voted against the resolution. The coored
members are probably either third termers or knew
that their constituents One Rainey OF South Car
ona voted for the resolution. He has third
termer
