mission all testimony taken by the COM
mittees Of both houses. Mr. Payne refused
to allow the amendment to be offered and
moved the previous question. Then an
effort was made by Mr.. Southland to get in
en- amendment which he had suggested in
regard to Colorado but was met with loud
calls for the regular order and Payne in
sisted on the previous question. The pre-
vious question wal seconded and the main
question ordered. Payne having the lual
hour to close the debate yielded a portion
of his time to Walker of Virginia who de-
clared be would give the bill bis cordial
auppott. He had been requested by his
condiments to vote for it and on this oc-
casion the constituents and representative
we're in accord.
Mr.. Lawrence of Ohio opposed the bill
as creating a tribunal unknown to and out
side of the constitution. He enumerated
eight constitutional objections to tie bill
and s,il the refusal on any pretext to re-
ceive electoral votes that bore evidence Of
legality on their face was one of most fla
giant, palpable, monstrous and dangerous
disfegards of the constitution that ever had
been or could be invented or conceived.
Mr.. Blackburn opposed the bill because
there was no proper subject matter Of ar
bitration, and because even If that were
not true the tribunal proposed to be erected
was extra and anti. constitutional. 1t
robbed the house of its constitutional PIE.
rogative to protect the popular right.
Mr. Jones OF Kentucky opposed the bill,
he would never consent to yield the just
%prerogalive Of the house to elect the presi-
dent in certain contingencies to any tri-
bunal whatever.
Mr.. Field of New York thought il was
PROFESSIONALLY within the power of con-
gress to pass the bill, and was sure it was
a just and honorable settlement, and the
best method of escaping from an impend-
ing calamity.
Meesrs. Brown of Kentucky and Gibson
of Louisiana also su supported the bill.
Mr.. Payne, chairman of the committee
which reported the bill closed the debate in
a brief but earnest speech, in the course of
which be said although the danger of civil
war had been flippantly sneered at, there
had been danger of such a war with which
no war in ancient or modern republics
could have compared.
The debate was closed and the speaker
announced that the vote would now be
taken on the final passage of the bill. The
clerk proceeded to call the names of men,
bers amid most intense interest and excite
mcnt. The speaker announced he would
exercise his privilege and vote as 2 repre-
sentative from Penn. He directed the clerk
to call his lame and his response aye was
greeted with applause. Finally the coun.
was completed and the result announced as
follows-yeas 10l, nays Sc. There was
but q slight manifestation on the announce
meat and then the spectators left the gal
leries and one Of the most important and
exciting sessions of house closed at 5.15.
