till ten tomorrow and that at one o'clock
I q vote shall be taken on the main question,
but there we're objections to ii and scene
of uproar and confusion ensued lasting for
several minutes, in the course of which Mr.
Blackburn exclaimed that Friday, hang
mans day, bad been ushered ina fit day
to witness the consummation of the viii
lainy and scandal of this proceeding-and
Mr.. O'Brien designated Mr.. Wood as the
high priest of the republican party aud was
himself designated by Mr.. Harrison as the
small priest of the filibusters.
Mr.. Wood then declared that II his prop
osilion were not assented to he would never
leave the hall until the count was finished.
AT one o'clock the two hours debate on the
objections commenced.
Mr.. Mills made a speech in favor of his
resolution, in which he characterized the
representatives of the American people as
co wering in the dust. The people dare
main'ain their rights but the peoples rep
resentatives dare not do so.
Mr.. Blackburn said to-day is Friday. on
that day the SAviour of the world suffeIe
crucifixion between two thieves. o. this
Friday, constitutional governmei t, judicial
honesty, fair dealing. manhood, dec, ncy,
suffer crucfixion among a number of
thieves. 1t was on that day this presiden-
Il fraud received his nomination at the
hands of party convention. 1t was thai
day, as it REQUIRED that every determination
reached by the bistered, peIjured miscre-
ants who constitute majority of this
commission have been promu 6 tied. 1t is
on that day you propose to consummate
your iniquity, but the people will at length
rise to punish, even perhaps in blood, the
perpetrators Of all the scoundrelism and
vilainy of this proceeding.
Mr.. Williams replied to MIR. Blackburn,
saying there was no day more fitting than
the hangman's day and no hour more fitting
than that which the graveyards yawn for
gibbeting to death the bastard party of po-
litical reform which had vexed the eyes of
good men for the last twelve months.
Notwithstanding the speeches of Mills,
Blackburn and Williams the best of good
feeling prevails among the members as in
deed it did through all excitements of the
day. There is very full attendance and
the galleries are still well filled.
$3.50 a. m.-The debate having closed, a
lane I;onnaa;nv eo no
which Mr.. Mills resolution should occupy
1t was suggested by Mr.. Wood that if 1t
were withdrawn and offered hereafter as
an independent proposition he would vote
for it, but that as a substitute for the reso-
luton in regard to Wisconsin he should
have to vote against it. That course would
only be accepted by Mr. Mills if the house
would agree to vote upon it before
the senate came back. That was
objected to on both sides, and was
counted by Brown, Harrison and others
that it was in contravention of the cleo
toral commission law. Finally the reso-
luton was excluded on point of order with
an intimation by the speaker that Mills
might afterwards move its adoption under
| a supervision of rules, but some democrats
remarked that it would be after the election
Of Hayes was proclaimed.
The vote on Wisconsis was then pro-
ceeded with.
