| ~ W tile QeSK dHV saw GQG vote
yeas, 130 nays, 1873. Several Demo-
Gratis saw it at the same time, and the
utmost confusion prevailed. The re-
publlcans had won victory and were
waiting for the announcement to give
vent to their joy. The Democrats
were in state of CONSERVATION. Con
sultations were held in every direc-
ton. Men who had not voted were
looked for in vain. Some who had
voted grasped at the forlorn hope that
they had not been recorded. Mr..
Maish was one of these, but he was
reaofled Nothing could change the
result of that vote. The reeapitula-
tion was had and the Speaker fan
nounced the vote-130 to 1873. The
House refused to adjourn.
THE Widest SORT OF SCENE
followed this announcement. The re-
publicans stamped their feet, clapped
their hands and cheered. Cheer aft
er cheer they gave, and shouts of de-
rision were heard. The Democrats
were all on their feet in state of
bewilderment. Cox, Randall and
McMillin each sought to lead and
each failed to do it. Members crowd
ed about Sowden to get him to change
his vote. Randall. it is said, was the
only one who could influence him.
Randall was begged to see Sowden.
He did, but to no purpose. Mr..
McMillin tried to make a motion, but
he could not be heard. Cox tried
with no better success. The two con
suited in the tumult
Mr.. Mc.Millin moved a call of the
Honse. This was jeered at by the
republicans, and was beaten by
uiaUa voce vote. Mr. McMillin de.
mandad division Then he saw that
it was
A MISTAKE.
He and Cox consulted at the top of
their voices, and it was decided that if
this motion were allowed to be beaten
another motion to adjourn would be in
order, with the hope of a different re-
suit. They agreed to vote their own
motion down. But all the party did
not understand it, and many started to
vote the wrong way. The "leaders"
waved their arms like wings of wind
mill, and shouted, Down. Sit down =
They dropped one by one until but
one democrat stood, looking about him
in bewilderment. He sat down as
soon as he could comprehend the stu
alton, and the whole House, both sides,
voted against call of the House.
Mr.. Cox then moved an adjourn
ment, and all joined in calling for yeas
and nays on the motion. The rolEcall
thon proceeded, meanwhile both par
ties had been
SECURING ABOUT FOR VOTERS
and recruits were had on both sides,
but the Democrats had got the most.
Sowden still voted with the Republi-
cans, but the House decided by vote
of 148 to 1877 to adjourn. The house
was adjourned. The deadlock was
broken; the eight-day old Wednesday
ended. For five minutes members on
both sides waved their handkerchiefs,
bundles of papers or anything they
could lay hands on, and shouted. The
two parties twitted each other in every
way wit could suggest, and every one
shouted at once at the top of his voice.
Hardly word could be distinguished
but there was an often repeated cry
that sounded like:
SURRENDERED To THE BRIGADIERs -
The tumult was deafening. As it
was after II o'clock, Thursdays ses-
sion was lost.
Thus the ilong dead lock was brok-
en-. The direct tax bill is only de-
layed. 1t will be again discussed next
December.
An attempt will be made in the
House next Monday to pass the Riv-
er and Harbor bill under suspension
of the rules. Senator Ransom has re-
ceived petition from prominent citi-
zens of Wilmington with reference to
needed improvements in the Harbor
of Wilmington. Senator Ransom will
probably be able, on account of the
very great influence he has both in
the Senate and with the President, to
carry out the will of these petitioners.
Senator Vance made a strong point
in favor of refunding the cotton tax,
while the direct land tax bill was un-
der discussion.
North Carolina has been created a
diocese in the Roman Catholic Church
with the Rev. Leo Haid as first Bish-
op. He will be consecrated July 8th
by Cardinal Gibbons who was at one
time Vicar-apostolic of North Caro-
lima.
The discussion of the tariff bill be.
