WASHINGTON Jan. 23-When the House as
kcmbled this morning 1t was easily apparent 'hao
the Democrats were in a state of extreme anA-
iety and nervousness. One or two of the leaders
stated that they had quorum OF Democrats II
attendance but nobody seemed to be authorized
70 saw that all the Democrats present would vote
on the allabsorbing question. There was pretty
strong sentiment the Democratic side
when the House adjourned Saturday in favor OF
reopcning the Thobe- Carlisle case. That sentiment
grew and at noon to-day probably one-third OF
the Northern Democrats were ready TO vote 10
reconsider the vote by which the substitute OF
Mr. LYMAN to reopen the case was rejected Ihere
was o short debate over the question as TO the
approval Of the journal which showed that inc
motion of Mr. Hogg Of West Virginia to reconsider
was properly entered. The ruling OF speaker
pro TEN Cox on the question OF order raiseu oy
Chairman Crisp against this motion showed tna'
Mr. Carlisle and his friends were stlil ntenS upon
their determination to pass the resolution uccii
inc him entitled to the seat VI course ope"hel
pro tenn Cox declared that the motion 70 ~,
consider must be entertalheo' ~ e''i ''-'"
oo The House was then brought at once, there,
fore, 10 the issue. Mr. Carlisle had deterllnSg ,
that there should be no opportunity Tor the WORK
ingmon's candidate to present the merits oi LIS
case by the aid Of witnesses. AS the roII-cah on
Chairman Crisps motion proceeded IL became eVl-
dent that The Democrats alone could not muster
ouoIum. and certain Republicans generously came
10 their relief There were seven OF thenn ~
non. Post and Rowell of Illinois, Cooper OF mo
Davenport of NewYork. Mckenna OF Oaii os no.
and steele OF Indiana. who voted IN favor OF the
resolution and seven Repuhlicans-Baker OF
Illinois. Brewer of Michigan: Chcadle and Hovey
Iowa and Iaidlaw Of New-Yorll. who voted
aninst If. The Democrats have 16s members
including Mr.. Carlisle. and only 10, were pi C
and voted to-day. Messis SGwoeh n .i ~ ~ -,
minos withdrew their votes, the conduons OF
their nairs recurring that they should not vote
unless necessary to make quorum. ,c,.
When the resolution was announcennIoi ON " the
,here was a feeble attempt at applause on inc
democratic side which was so contagious as 70
set three men to clappng their hands ms Tt.r
a glorious victory. The Nlndlcai9n VI IL e
Carlisle was complete II was neither so Wlue as
n church door nor so deep as Well out ~ was
enough in the opinion of hmsen anu t inio os e
The Democrats with two exceptions, 30 rr I"l ~
known had been whipped INTO iihe' us VI
ccntions were Messrs. Foran. OF ONO, ana "SaNvi'
of Iowa and yet there were at least loIIH 80
crp Democrats who voted as they ana WIN lea az
and trembling and who will be extremely slao 10
consider n resolution which perhaps may NC
offered in the face OF the aoVerse Nv. "0u'ol %
of the House to-day asking for an lnyestigaIIGn oi

il is not difficult TO put the case so that n the ne
nositon of the Republicans in the House shall be
fairly understood. Suppose that Mr. Ihobe hau
received the certificate OF election ana had taheh

iieve that Mr.. Lodge, Of MassachusCtts' NJ! NJ. Ly
man of Iowa Mr.. Reed, of Maine Mr. HIT OF
