,pourst for delay, and would offer subSti-
tute. Sure enough. when MIR. Knott re-
nor,ed the Ladd bill, Mr.. Robson drew
youminouS Substitute and commenced
rcodinr It. The preamble alone contained
Radical patriotism enough for = Fourth-of-
Ju,c spcech, and the bill, while following
n some extent the text OF the Lodd bill,
made it so general as to take all the point
ont OF il. Then the additions were Robe
sonian, and the comment OF North Caro-
)inian was that it was stronger than the
bill Hayes vetoed. After the demand for
the previous question Conger wanted to get
in an amendment to the Ladd bill, but the
Democrats would not let him. This made
him yenomously mad, and it was clear that
he meant some attempt at mischief. The
call for the previous question being sus-
tanned, and the substitute by Il party
vote defeated, the Ladd bill was
engrosScd and then put on lis final
passage. The Speaker here made Con-
ger again furious by ruling him out Of
order, 20 AZ 10 put the House in 4 roar OF
laughter. When the names OF the Republic
cans were now called they refused to vote,
and there was no quorum. Conser smiled,

THE PRESIDENT WILL SIGN THE BILL.
Well-informed Republicans tonight at Il
O'clock say the President will sign tht
Ladd bill. and they speak with conf
dence, while the Democrats are in high
spirits at the attitude in which the Re
publicans to. day by their votes in the
Mouse placed themselves before the coun'

bate on the use OF troops at the polls, when

THE SENATE AND THE PRESIDENT.
The Ladd bill goes to the Senate, and will
pass that body as soon as the Democrats de-
iermlne to press a vote on it by the sitting
out process. The majority OF the Repnbli-
cans cay Mr.. Hayes will veto ii, but many
OF them express a contrary opinion. The
Democrats are strong in the belief that
he will sign the bill, and pave the way for
