WASHINGTON Nov. 23, 1877
THE ANTI-REsUMpTIoN BILL-sOME DETAILS
OF THE VOTE ON ITS PAssAGE-ITs PROS
Poets IN THE SENATE. s
The patience OF tho House mad been nearly ex-
hausted when the yeas and nays were at last called
on tho passage OF tho Anti-Rcsumption bill. Pre-
vious votes had shown that nearly forty
members were abscnt, and most of them were
paired II was not until vote was taken on Mr.
Wards amendment requiring that all debts due
laborcrs and after the LIST OF January 1872 shall
paid In such coin or notes shall be legal tender
that test vote had. This so close and the
members changed their votes frequently that II
look fully fifteen minutes to make up the
lally sheet. General Butler sent for and in
II the last moment, voting against it. General
Wright, Of ennsylvania, who was In doubt how to
lot his vote be recorded changed It from nay yea
and yea TO nay SO frequently that the House was
thrown into spasms OF laughter as tho
srable member rose to that he
had concluded to change his vote again.
Finally General Ewing labored with him to
such effect that hc stuck fast for few minutes and
the vote announced defeating the amendment,
the yeas being l27 and the nays 12a ON the Hnal
vote The total number 253, with sixteen pairs and
Tx members absent not voting. General Butler,
answer to his name. Mr.. Smalls, OF South Carolina,
vas unavodably detained in jail In Columbia. Gov
srnor Swami did not respond to his name, and Messrs
Darral Of LOUISIANA, Strait of Minnesota and Bright
Tennessee completed the list OF absentees or
.hesc four-Messrs. Swami, Darral, Strait ana
smalls-would have voted against the re-
peal and Messra Bright and Butler were
counted in favor Of the repeal. Tho majority
on the final vote was thirteen, that the House
stand
vote but eleven majority. Not from New
England, New York, New Jersey, Mich, gan or Cali
lorna was cast in favor OF repeal. Mr. Sleichcr was
the only member Of the Texas delegation who voted
against the repeal The result OF the vote
did not awaken any enthusiasm among
Tho friends Of the measure Mr. Fort had tho
satisfaction Of knowing that was his and not Mr.
Ewng's bill which succeeded. Immediately after tho
vote was announced nearly fifty members applied Tor
leave OF absence the remainder OF the session. Mr.
Wood said that with the present absentces and those
who desired leave thcro danger Of the House
being lett without quorum, ana he must object to
this Wholesale lleavetaking this juncturo in
legislation. IL was finally agreed that members who
we're obliged to be absent account OF illness or
business requiring their immediate attention should
be excused but no others, and, at SIX o'clock, the
House adjourned till Tuesday next
Mr. Chittenden, OF New Y ork, who has been the
most active and untirng leader Of the hard money men,
obtained the door this morning by general consent
made last reply to MI. Ewing, and in It made a
happy hit when he said, "The gentleman from ohio
talks great deal about the debtor class, pleading
their cause, he says but what he know abou,
thor interests Nobody owes him any money -
whereat there were shouts OF laughter.
The debate certainly lesscned tho strength Of the
an,i-resumptionists greatly. In full House they
would have had eleven votes for tho Fort amendment
whereas, whom Mr.. Ewing first brought in his own
bill, there general belief that II he had got II TO
vote It would gone through, evon without the
Fort amendment by heavy majority.
The bill it stands this moment pretty strong
In the Senate and the Vice President reported as
uaying that, in his belief the Silver bill will pass
The Resumption bin will 80 very getting ma
Iorty Also But both bills will have ihll discussion
In the Senate, and the debate will only show
men now counted for them are against them
but It Will tend, as In tho House, to weaken the sup
port fthe bills
THE SOUTHERN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS RE-
SUITS OF THE CONTEST IN The SENATE
REPUBLICAN EFFORTS TO BULL-DozE MEssRs.
PATTERSON AND coNovER.
II IS probable that when the Senate Genes to vote
on the case Of Butler against Corbin Mr.. Butler
VIII DO seated with the help OF a consider
able number OF republican votes Ii the case
oil Eustis follows he also will probably got some re-
publican votes. The Sponord elogg is tho ono
which will be most desperately contested, and IN
Monday renewed efforts will be made by tho repub-
cans to give this case precedence tho
other two. There seems to be no doubt
that Spo1ord viii harder ,imc than either
Butler or Eustis to get his seat but he will probably
be seated in the end
In the republican caucus to-day it was generally
agreed not 10 adjourn until the nominations have
acted on by the Senate.
As the excitement increases here false rumors and
abuse increase also IL circulated to-day, Tor In
stance, that Senator had said that resident had
told him to vote Tor Kellogg This is undoubtedly
false hessrs. Patterson and Conovcr have also been
The objects Of abuse all day turncoat but the fact
that Mr.. Patterson has always tanned that Mr..
Butler entitled 10 tho seat ana the extra ses-
sion no defended Butler against some attacks made
upon his character As TO Mr. Conover, he openly
declared his mind upon various matters IN opposition
10 the carpebag and bloody shirt policy ut tho last
session. IL Is not creditable to tho republican Sona-
tors that these whom they have always defended
Guile they could use them now heaped with abuse
by thon,.
