TEST In this circle and all over the hall and
in the galleries. AS he finished Mr.. Cate
made his way through the circle and adj
dressing Hewitt excltedly said You have
pronounced the action of the commission
to be an infamous, gross betrayal of con-
fidence reposed In it. By what perversion
of right and justice do you now declare it
to be the duty of democrats to assist in the
speedy consummalion of what you pro-
nouuce an outrage2
Mr.. Hewitt say that will yield to it
because see no other course left but an
archy.
Mr.. Cate-I deny 1t, and assert that it
is the duty of the democrats to oppose It by
every means in their power 1t would be
cowardce to do otherwise. (Great excite
ment and confusion.)
Mr., Yates of North Carolina, forced his
way through the circle and with flushed
face and excited manner exclaimed, ad-
dressing Gate and the democrats who were
opposing acquiesence: "Thofe who de-
nounce us now as towards when the pinch
came fifteen years ago turned against u.s."
The excitement had grown so intense at
this time, reviving scenes in the house i'm
mediately before the rebellion, that the
speaker felt called upon to interpose and to
insist upon the restoration of order.
When he had succeeded Townsend of
New York took the floor and compared
the action Of the democrats to familiar
bargain between white man and an In
dian, the White man saying: 81 will take
the turkey and you will take the owl, or
you will take tho owl and will take the
turkey. Laughter. So If the commits
sion would decide in favor of Tilden the
democrats would stand faithfully by it, but
if it decided In favor of Hayes then they
would howl and resist. Was that the way
that honorable men discharged public du-
ties He referred to the saying of Judge
Grove OF the New York court of app, als,
that in Allegheny, when man was beaten
10 law suit, 1t was understood there we're
but two things to do; one was to appeal
and the other was to go to a tavern and
swear at the court. Laughter The
gentlemen from Kentucky and New \ ork
had exercised to-day the latter privilege;
they had sworn at the court. He believed
that was not the feeling of the people.
They had faith in the tribunal whether the
tribunal had decided right or wrong He
called on the other side of the house ir the
name of the country, of patriotism, of
honor, Of manhood, to do what the repub-
licans would have teen required to do in
case the decision had been against them.
Mr.. Beebe felt called upon to raise his
voice in solemn protest against the ia-
iquitous fraud which was being attempted
to be perpetrated upon the people of the
republic. The commission had been der
elicit in its duties and history would men,
ton it in terms of bitter denuncistion. He
would in humiliation submit to the decision
merely taking an appeal to the will Of the
people.
Mr.. Poppleton sent up and had read
amid much laughter the speech delivered
at Fremont yesterday by Gov. Hayes.
Mr.. Hoar replied to Hewitt's address as
postbumous speech prepared during the
Sabbath. Hewitt had the fullest means of
knowledge, by three days companionship
with him on the electoral commission, that
the right to 90 into the ascertainment of
facts as to who had been lawfully elected
was utterly denied. II that gentle
man were zane man with an
ordinary intelligence it was incredible that
he should have understood the matter as he
now professed to understand 1t. Prophecy
was not one of the exact sciences, but he
would venture the prophecy that there
would not be an event in the history of
the country which would be in the future
more gratifying to the American people
than the constitutional assertion of limit
between state and national authority which
cratic party under the excitement of to-
day, inflamed with eager passion for power,
disapproved aud condemned 1t, he would
appeal from the party, maddened, excited,
drunk in the present, to it's future and to
its past. applause on the republican
side)
Mr.. Springer closed the debate with an
argument against the decision of the COM
mission. A vote wa, then taken on Stin-
gers substitute for Kellys reso-
luton and 1t was adopted, yeas 1876, nays
10. So the house decided the vote of
Boggs should not be counted because he
was not appointed in conformity with the
constitution aud laws of Pennsylvania.
The senate was notified Of the vote and
of the readiness of the house to meet the
senate in joint meeting and at 8 IS the
senators entered the hail. The presiding
officer called the meeting to order, and the
action of each house having been read, he
announced that the two houses not having
concurred otherwise the vote of Pennsyl-
gania would be counted.
Mr.. Allison, one of the tellers, thereupon
announced that Pennsylvania had given
twenty whine votes for Hayes and Wheeler.
The certificates from Rhode Island were
then read, showing four votes for Hayes
and Wheeler. The presiding officer bsv-
ing asked whether there was any objec ton
to the vote of Rhode Island, Mr.. 0'Bhep,
on behalf of himself, Senators Kelly and
Gordon, and Representatives jerks, Mack
