wAsHrseroS. Feb 81 The public ex.
citement over the proceedings eff the
House was very great to-day, and the
crowd had diminished very little up to
the late hour of adj6urnmcnt. The
battle between the isobstructio ionists"
and "submisssonistsY commenced at
two O'Clock, immediately on the
assembling of the House, and was
waged with great bitterness for several
hours, the only intermissio on being during
the meeting Of the joint couuention,
when the vote ofSouthC hCarolina was coun-
ted. Speaker Randalps ruling had the
effect TO cripple very much the efforts Of
the filibusters, but they were still left
with sufficient resources to enable them
to consume much time. As anticipated
last night the effort to compel the read
ing of the South Carolina testimony was
defeated Overwhelmingly About darkthe
| fill busters relented temporarily in order to
allow the re-assembling of the joint con-
vention, although they still had 1t In
their power TO protract the contest for
several hours longer. "%''' '''tiu @e"n

equally determined in ignoring the voci-
ferations Of Mr.. Spring ,r, who continued
to shout at the top of his voice until the
Senate had left the hall"i'G fRw bio .eiI

the objections. The House took recess

hope tonight that the count may be com
pleted tomorrow, and it win be unless
the Fl ilibusters again rally. iD a'H "vis
