The Supreme Moment.
There were scenes in the house
never before witnessed in New Eng
land. The supreme moment came
when the assistant clerk refused to
put the motion to adjourn, and Mr..
Hale, standing up on a chair, put
the motion himself, followed by deaf
ening applause and the immediate
withdrawal of the Republican inem-
hers. How amid so much excite
nent and intense feeling good order
could be preserved was marvel.
The Republicans held second eau

Confusion Worse COMPOUNDED,
In the House the Speaker invoked
good order and minated that the
scenes enacted yesterday by outsid.
ers would not be repeated. He had
scarcely finished speaking when the
doors we're opened, the windows
thrown up and the impatient crowd
rushed in. After the people entered
quiet was restored, but at one time
trouble seemed imminent. The rec
ords OF yesterday were read and
showed the fact that not more than
" votes were thrown for any candi-
date voted for.
