General Ga,iie.d's speech was. evidently
u surprise to both sides of the uouse. 1t
brushed away tho Republican nonsense, but
caused half panic on the Democratic side.
His frank acknowledgement that thcre
could be no objection to tho placius of a
rider on tho Appropriation bill surprised
his own side, his clear and incisve demons
stretion Of Mr. fuckers fatally false posi-
tion embarrassed tho Democrats, and his
discovery Of the effect oftheir proposition
caused CONSERVATION twbioh produced
immediate effect.
Mr.. New, Of Indiana, Democrat, rose to
offer an aWendmcpt, the first so far offered,

As If the Democrats had not received
sufficient damage during the day they began
TO ii!libustcr to prevent the reception of
this amendment, aud for IL while there was
a brief squabbIc. Mr.. Baker, who has u
cool head, maintained his position, however
IIo remarked that his amendment was
gcrmanc on scvcra, accounts, among others
because he thought it in the interest Of
economy After a persistent attempt on
the Democratic side to have it ruled out as
out Of order, it was left iu doubt, aud the
House adjourned until eleven to-morrow.
