Potter's Resolution Adopted.

l
Indian appropriations bill were not con-
CURED In. The regular order was then
demanded by Potter and the question
recurred on seconding the demand for
the previous question on the Florida res
olution. On the standing vote the
speaker announced the result to be 50
In the affirmative and none in the neg
ative, and the usual point of 'sno quo
rum.v was raised by Hale. The Speak
er appointed Hale and Potter to take
their places as tellers. At the conclu-
sion Of voting Hale reported the vote
to be for the affirmative 122; negative
none.
An exciting scene took place between
Representatives Conger and Goode.
Conger made allusion to Goodies voting,
claiming that he was 'spaired" with
Loring. Goode resented what he re-
garded reflection upon his honor stat
ing that If Conger intended any insult
he would hold him personally RESPONSE
BILE. Hale insisted on the words being
taken down, and amidst great confusion
and excitement, mingled with applause
and Kisses on the floor, and in the gal
leries, the Speaker ruled that the re-
marks of both Conger and Goode, were
unparliamentary. Great confusion fol-
lowed this scene.
| At three O'Clock there was no change
in the situation. The doors remained
closed while the officers were in search
for absent members. E
After long and exciting debate Pot
ter finally moved to dispense with all
further proceedings under the call, sta
ting that he had been informed that
every member who could be reached
by the sergeant-at-arms to-day was now
in the capital. Agreed to; yeas 242,
nays 10. The question again required
on seconding the demand for the pre-
yious question, and Hale and Potter
resumed their places as tellers; as the
147th man voting in the affirmative
passed between the tellers applause
broke out on the Democratic side. Hale
then moved to lay the resolution on the
table. tsaEt IFF5
After another running discussion, a
vote on the order, ordering a vote on
the main question, was secured, and
resulted, yeas 14I, nays /. Before the
adoption of the preamble and resolu-
tion, Mills asked to be heard ten min
utes. The Republicans .assented and
the Democrats objected, and Potter re-
fused leave. The vote on the adoption
Of the resolution resulted, yeas 145,
nay 2. A motion to reconsider and
lay on the table was made, but
Withdrawn, and the House adjourned.
| From a remark made by Hale, it is
inferred that he will tomorrow offer a
resolution to extend the investigation
to Oregon, South Carolina, Missi ssippi
and other States.
| Regarding the scene when Alexan-
der II. Stephens wanted to speak in the
House yesterday. an eye witness says:
The bowling mob remained behind
his rolling chair, for even the revolu-
tionists did not dare to face him, but
howlrd him down with cries Of "regdS
lar order" and it is even said that those
who sat near could hear, in cowardly
undertones, cries Of make the old man
keep his mouth shut. y They did not
dare to have him open it. He was ST.

and by his own party. Alexander b.

was heard privately to say: But the
time will come when they VIII be glad
to hear me. The significance of that
utterance the Democratic leaders may

to this movement.
