some trouble after all in distributing the "Old

While Gen. Grant started in with 304 votes and
received SOC on the final ballot, the votes which
made up the 800 were recruited and added to
the original 3e4. For instance, in Maryland
Grant, through all the ballots except the last,
never had less than I votes In the delegation,
whereas on the final ballot he had only 1, los
ing 5 of the so-called 'Old Guard" which loss
was made up elsewhere from Mr.. Blaine's

votes he never received In any previous ballot
and so did other states which did not go to

CONGRESSIONAL
House.

WASHINGTON, January 23.-Af,sr some
miscellaneous business. the committees
were called for reports Of o private ma
tire.
The House then went into . Commit
tee OF the Whole on the state OF the
Union, for listening to Horr's reply to
Cox's speech OF yesterday.
When Horr rose the scene was as
dramatic and as exciting as when an i'm
portant political debate impends. The
galleries were crowded with people and
the members gathered round Horr. who
spoke from his place In front Of the
Speakers desk. He stated that before
he commenced to reply to the eloquent
and able speech Of the distinguished and
weiehty gentleman from New York
(Cox), no would ask the Clerk to read
the speech Of . portion Of II which he
(Horr) had delivered q few days ago,
and which had occssioned that fearful
effort to which the House had been
introduced yesterday. The Clerk then
read as follows: "My genial little
friend" Loud laughter. Horr justified
himself for using the words "genial Lit.
tie friend" by explaining that they were
spoken In the heat Of debate. Laugh
teri He had spent his boyhood In
manual labor and hard work, and was
consequently sometimes embarrassed.
and In his extreme difidence dropped
words which he was sorry for after.
wards. Nothing had been further from
his mind than the idea OF belittling the
gentleman from New York before this
assembly. He knew the gentleman's
Weight and accomplishments. and far be
il from him to contest with him. After
quite . lengthy speech, during which
the House wal kept in an almost con-
slant roar Of laughter, Horr said he was
not Q poet, but q friend had written for
him an epitaph upon the gentleman
from New York. which no thought just
covered the case:
Beneath this slab lies the great Sam Cox.
Who was wise Is An owl. - brave % an OK;
Think II not strange-his turning 10 dust
For he swelled and he swslled till he final
ly burst.
Just where no has gone. or just how he
fares,
Nobody knows and nobody cares;
But wherever he Is. be he angel or elf,
Do sure. dear reader. he's putting himself.
Cox making no reply, the committee
arose aud the House went into Commit
tee o! tho Whole ON the private calendar,
Cox in the chair. After some time the
committee arose and . number OF pri-
vate bills were passed.
Adjourned until Monday.
