The Scene in the House.

WASHINGTON. February 1.-The day In
opinion Of many the most important and i'm.
prc>sivc IN the history OF the country. This
evening, in conversation. Senators. Repre-
sentativcs, Judges, and others remarked
that, as they sat listening to the peaceful
rea,fing and formal and legal documents, the
thought uppermost in their minds was one of
gratitude at the adoption of the electoral bill,
but for which very different, a very turbu-
lent scene. probably leading to violence,
would have signaliZed the day. Among the
most interested spectators to-day was Gen.
Sherman, who Is known to have been from
the first extremely and constantly anxious
for the framing and adoption OF the elector-
al bill, and who hailed with the greatest sat.
isfactlon and delight Its passage after the
debates, to which he was close and con-
slant listener. Gen. Sherman has natura
~ means OF knowing the spirit OF the coun-
try and OF all parts ut IT. and it is known
here that no one. unless it be the President
himself. was more solcitous for the passage
Of che bill. His satisfaction with the work
vas very great.
Mr.. Charles O'Coner was also among the
spectators. A number OF Senators and Rep
resentatives, respecting his pre-eminent ge-
faius and requirements az a lawyer. were
very curions to know what he thought about
the constitutioraty OF the electoral law.
ABOUT which Mr.. Sargent and some others
nad such grave doubts. The question was
accordingly put to Mr.. O'coner during the |
day, who replied. In his deliberate and forci- |
Die manner: II is constitutional. il is clear |
~ constitutional. In my Judgment 1t is con-
stitutional beyond doubt.--N. r. Herald. /
