and he nominated General James Shields,
wounded Union soldier He insisted that
his motion was one of privilege. and that
il must be acted upon before the traiisac-
ton of any other business This was a com
plete surprise 10 the Democrats. Some of them
favored the election of General Shields, aud for
time it looked though the Southern Democrats,
who were so angry AT the removal Of Colonel Polk.
would take advantage Of this opportunity TO get re-
yenge. and would vote for General Shields in which
case he would be elected. Party discipline was
finally enforced on the Democratic side, and a vote
was carried 10 postpone the consideration of the
ouestion until next Monday. The purpose OF this
was of course to permit the choice OF candidate
by the Democratic caucus. which was to.neet this
evening.
While these proceedings were taking place In the
House. n little war OF words occurred between Cen
eral Butler and Mr. S. :. Cox. in which the latter
got decidedly the better Of the former General But
Ter was urging the claims OF the wounded soldier,
the hero of two wars when Mr.. Morrison, with more
of enthusiasm than he has shown on any subject
since this Congress assembled Indignantly inquired
if General Butler had not, when General Shields
came TO Congress many years ago with thousand
majority at his back, conspired to prevent him
from taking his seat. THIS talk was successful and
much Of the effect of General Buffers speech. was
destroyed. Then Mr. Cox took n hand in the con-
test, and asked if the two votes which General But
Ter had recently cast with the Democrats Indicated
that he was gravitatng back to the old party with
which he was formerly connected. Mr. Cox asked
whether as his HAIR grew silvered and he was
advancing in age, he was not seeking to return 10
his first love.
Strangely enough General Bntler was not as
ready with the oral' as he usually is, and old
habItues of the gallery have not seen him 80 mnch
embarrassed for long time. The only reply that
he made was that when he left the Democratic
party il was an honorable organization. and did not
choose one poor the scapegoa for its SINS as
prestige he might possibly come back.
