The reader can scarcely realize the
intensity CT passionate feeling that was
manifest. In the closing moments of
this exciting scene not less than 100
congressman were on their feet, some
Of them gesticulating violently, and the
danger of personal collisions between
representatives and Senators, who had
been denounced as interlopers,"
seemed imminent. Perhaps it might be
best to let the members themselves
characterize 1t. s
Mr.. Butler spoke of it in the subse-
quent debate as an unseemly and dis
graceful scene, whoever may be respon-
sible for it, and also as {" a shameful
spectacle" Gen. Schenck spoke of it
as a very painful scsne." And Mr..
Garfield, quoting some Of the above
language from the Globe, said page
1104):
1t was language like this: it was a manner
and bearing Of unparalleled insolence; it was
the fell spirit of disorder-that spirit that pre-
fers to reign in hell than serve in heaven; that
would bring chaos into this sacred hall where
order and calm deliberation should forever
dwell. x And I believe that not only
the members of the House, but the whole
country, will recognize the debt of obligation
they owe to the Speaker of this House. who
threatened to use the constabulary force at his
command to preserve order in this hall
The Senators had not all left the
Representative Hall, after the official
annunciation of the resultof the cleo
ton by their President, when Mr.. But
Ter offered as a question Of privilege
resolution that the counting of the
vote of Georgia by the order of the
Vice President pro tempore was a gross
act of oppression and All invasion of
the rights and privileges of the House."
A debate of three days ensued OH this
important question.
= During this debate it was discovered
that, after all, in this memorable scene,
history had been repeating ITSELF" In
1921, despite Mr.. CLAWS resolution (of
which the Georgia resolution of nearly
a half century afterward was copy,
New England Representative (Mr. Liv-
ermore, of New Hampshire) objected
to the vote of Missouri being counted
at ALL The two houses separating to
decide the question, Mr.. Floyd moved
that Missouri's vote be counted. In the
debate that ensued on this motion,
Mr.. Clay declared emphatically that
" the two houses ought not to
have separated until they had con-
summated what had been stipulated
for" Mr.. FIoyd's resolution being
tabled, the two houses reassembled,
and the President of the Senate, amid
great confusion and excitement, having
commenced the annunciation Of Madi-
sons and Tompkins election, whether
the Missouri votes were or were
not counted, Mr.. Floyd, amid
cries Of Order" demanded that
he should state whether Mis-
souri, had been counted. He was
followed by John Randolph, Repre-
sentative from Virginia, who, persisting
in this interruption of the President of
the Senate, was called to order by the
Speaker of the House, John W. Taylor,
of New York, who required him to take
his seat. Mr.. Randolph, in reply to
this, demanding to know if he was not
in order, the Speaker ruled that every
thing was out OF order except the an
nouncement of the result, in accordance
with Mr.. Clay's concurrent resolution
There was great disorder at this de-
cision, but the President, amidst it
all, finished the official announcement,
and the Senators finally left the hall
while John Randolph was again at
tempting to address the chair.
