. from Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May "a closed my nc
count OF the House proceedings at half
past IL, and from that hour until this
morning, when the body adjourned over,
until ~ NJ. there was no progress made ar-
parently either in reaching vote on the
Ryan amendment or in seconding the call
for the previous question on the bill; and
yet the protracted session was not without
its amusement as we'll as hardships, for
members who are usually iudicially digni-
fed became under the soothing influence OF
cold tea as bright and as humorous as COM
! mon people. Even Conger tried to be
| funny in a grim way, and would every now
and then ask to be permitted TO speak, pre-
tending to be outraged because be was not
granted the privilege. Messrs. Robson
and Hurd, two among the best lawyers OF
the body, were as gay as the gayest, while
even Reed, OF Maine, attempted comedy.
Some OF the members went up among the
correspondents and enjoyed the merriment
that prevailed there. Among these was
Governor Tom Young, OF Ohio, who, look
ing down upon the House said, See Gene
raj Johnston there; he ought to have been
chairman OF the Military Committee, and
Randall! should have had the pluck to have
done what the whole country would have
approved" Said Republican correspon-
dent, 81 heard General Sherman say when
Hood superseded Johnston that it was
worth thirty thousand men to the Federal
side" Your correspondent observed that
all during the night, while many members
| were sleeping on sofas or at their desk,
that the representative OF the Richmond
district sat up rs erect as il in church, look
ing at the proceedings from serious rather
than frivolous standpoint.
A FEDERAL BRIGADIER EXPRESSES HIS con-
TEMPT.
Att O'Clock this morning, when every
body were tired and looking their worst,
General DIcCook was brought in, and on
being asked the usual questions by Mr..
Blackburn, Speaker pro tenn, replied that
he bad thorough contempt for the whole
proceedings. and that the country shared in
the feeling. This outburst made things
suddenly lively, one member moving TO fine
him $50, another 500, and a third General
Manning) $1,000. General Garfield and
other Republicans, seeing he had put his
foot into it, gathered around him and got
him to explain. Subsequently, at the regu-
lar session, he made frank, full, and manly
apology, Withdrawing his remarks. This
caused applause on the Democratic side, and
the suggestion Of General Manning that the
colloquy be omitted from the Record was
concurred in unanimously. To be dragged
at 7 O'Clock into the House, to sit among
sleepy, unwashed members, was a great
provocation, and due allowances should be
made for General McCook. ~. ..-s+...
THE DEADLOCK BROKEN THIS AFTERNOON.
The morning hour was again exhausted
by dilatory motions on the part OF the Re-
publcans, and the bill prohibiting the re-
moval Of cases from State to Federal courts
again went over. The nights session was
not without its fruits, however. for it had
left both sides tired and sleepy, and hence
in condition for a compromise. There
fore, when the silver bill was taken up at
LOO O'Clock to-day General Warner and
Mr.. Garfield in few minutes came to an
agreement, by which the Ryan substitute
for the whole bill should be voted upon.
Then if that were adopted that General
Warner should have the privilege Of offer
ing an amendment TO it. The Republicans
on their part further agreed to stop ilbus-
tering. The roll being called, the Ryan
amendment was lost-aycs, 60; noes, 1877;
and sweet smile settled on the counte-
nance OF General Warner. The bill amend
| ed, as have indicated in previous dis
patches, then passcd-ayes, ia; noes, 81.
The result was received with great applause
BY the Democratic side. All the Yirsinians
voted AYE" General Warner was much
congratulated, and was the happiest man in
Washington. But for the persistence OF
the Democrats last night in refusing to
yield to Conger & Co. without positive
understanding, the bill would now be before
the House and in danger Of being defeated.
There must be more in it than the bard
money men admit, or why was it so stub
bornly fought by the Republicans and the
Administration It's advocates say it will
pass the Senate by q decided majority, but
they fear it will be vetoed by the President.
The Republicans say 1t will be vetoed.
! THE VETO TO COME IN TUESDAY.
| The veto Of the legislative bill! is not only
all ready to be sent to the House, but it has
been critically examined and approved by
the stalwarts. 1t will therefore be sent in
at - O'Clock sharp Tuesday, and then the
Democrats will be in condition to hold
caucus and determine on their future line
Of policy on all the various questions now
