This morning the house of representa-
tives of the Illinois legislature was again
the scene of disgracetul row, Inaugural
ted by the Republicans for the purpose OF
impeding legislation. 1t began by hepuo,
licaus attempting to change thelr Vo'es
and the journal of proceedings otyesteroay
On the Louisiana resolutions. "A protrac-

sion. interspersed with dilatory resolutions
made by the minority, occupied all the
forenoon session. The conspirators
gained partial, victory by managing to
waste the half day session, but failed IN

resolutions aud are nearly at the end Of
their resources. In all the wilderness Of
cross motions and points of order, not one

The sneaker called Mr.. Cummings to the
chair. and, taking seat on the floor, waited
his opportunity. 1t soon came and he
seized upon it. He took the floor and
made a most scathing and bitter speech,
denouncing corporations by name, and ex-
nesed the feeble and shallow devices ~
which it was proposed to prevent leglsla-
ton. 1t was apparent that Halnes was
walked up at last, and that he was fully
prepared to carry out the war as far as his
adyersaries desired. But the end was not
vet. for it remained for Mr. Haines to show
that while the plot of the Republicans was
| fully exposed in all its feebleness, he was
nrenared to meet and defeat them on the
ground they had chosen. In the mlost u

From the Springfield Register,
Beaten.

The Republican conspirators in the lower
house of the general assembly were very
handsomely beaten this morning at their
own game. We warned these gentlemen
several days ago that whatever else might
be said about Mr. Haines, his knowledg &c
of parliamentary law was not to be denied.
and that they would do well to assault him
with some other than parliamentary tactics
We told them plainly that their efforts to
entangle him in points of order, and other
legislative fustian, would but recoil upon
them, and the result has been reached
sooner than we expected. This morning a
majority and minority report from the com.
mittee on contingent expenses gave the
stupid, foolish Republican faction, as they
thought, the opportunity they desired to
show their contempt for the rules of the
house, but really the opportunity to break
their own necks. Upon the reading Of
the reports, all the conspirators plunged
wildly into debate, making motions and
cross motions, raising points of order and
as much fuss as they could,

Donaldson had supcr,titious repug-
nance against opening the valve OF his
balloon to let the gas ont, and rarely did
it, even in the most dangerous looking
descents. Ii was this popularity which
gives color to the theory, says the New
York Graphie, that he and his companion
may still he in existence. Whatever
might he the force of the storm, the bal
loon could no. be destroyed; sink it could
not, burst it was very unlikely to do I'M

pressure upon the bag. and a. long rs the
net held ont, the occupants of the ear
had only to held on, and were in danger
of nothing more serious than good
wetting. II there Is anything IN these
theories, Donaldson and his companion
shave probably dropped somewhere into
the pineries distant from telegraph. and
settlements; and as, when they landed,
they must have been suffering greatly |

ton factories are greatly effected by
Southern competition, that thcv are be-
ing driven out of the market 10y the South
ern spinners OF heavy goods, ana that
the time Is fast approaching when they
must close up or come South" The
Memphis Appeai sees the Courier and
goes 1t one better, by saying that South
crn competition in the spinning business
Is not only driving the Northern spinners
Of heavy goods out Of the market, but
also those Of the finer fabrics of cotton
aud wool. Nothing can be surcr than
that the Northern mills must "closc up
or come South" in the contemplation of
which fact we rejoice. for when the re-
lnoyals begin there can be nothing more
certain than that the mills will all be loca-
ted at Cairo. Our cityis easily and cheaply
acces -ible from all the best cotton grow
ing portions Of the South. it can supply
the mill man with cheap fuel and labor,
and furnish TO the laborer the plcasantcsi
and certainly the hcalthiest home in the
world. We will not gush on this subject
but rest calmly in the belief that in due
time the cotton mills of the North must
close up or come to Cairo.
