THE SAME OLD TACTICS.
Filibustering in the House Still
Goes On.
STRONG DEMOCRATIC PROTESTS.
But the Speaker PurSueS the Even
Tenor of His Way.
THE HOUSE.

That the public at large understood the con-
test in the House was not ended by yester-
days republican victory was made manifest
by glance at the galleries this morning.
Half an hour before noon every nook and
Granny was filled with spectators and the cor
ridors outside the gallery doors we're crowded
with expectant throngs patiently awaiting an
opportunity to be admitted. The spectators
began to arrive at the Capitol as early as 8
o'clock this morning. On the floor there was
an air of subdued excitement, especially on the
democratic side, where Mr.. Carlisle was sur
rounded by a number of leading members OF
his party consulting to the course to be
pursued
THE BLIND CHAPLAIN's SIGNIFICANT PRAYER.
In his prayer the chaplain said: .'Grant US, o
Lord, that we fall not into any sin, neither into
any kind of danger, but that all our doings, be-
ing ordered by Thy government, may be right
The clerk, proceeding in the usual manner to
read an abridged journal (omitting the detailed
vote) Mr.. Bland (Mo.) demanded the read
ing of the document in full, and this was
ordered by the Speaker.
The clerk WAS proceeding to read from the
record the detailed votes Of yesterday when
MIR. Cultivate (Ohio) objected and demanded
that the reading should be from the original
document.
The Speaker said that the clerk was reading
from the record as matter OF convenience,
but if the gentleman objected he might have
his way and he instructed the clerk accord
ingly.
The reading of the journal was not completed
until 1880, and imme diately Mr. Mckinley of
Ohio moved that the journal be approved and
on that motion demanded the previous ques-
ton.
A QUESTION OF RULES.
Mr.. Springer interjected motion to adjourn,
saying that he did SO to enable the committee
on rules to bring in code Of rules.
The Speaker-The gentleman is not in order
in speaking on a motion to adjourn.
Mr.. Springer-There are no rules for the
House.
The Speaker-There are rules for the House.
Mr.. Sprmger-Where are they?
The Speaker-The rules that govern paria-
mentary assemblies and those rules distinctly
declare that motion to adjourn is not debat-
able, of which the gentleman is perfectly aware.
THE SAME OLD TACTICS.
The motion to adjourn was lost-yeas 1876;
nays 162, and the question recurring on the
demand for the previous question the yeas and
nays were ordered. The democrats again
pursued their policy of not voting and the
Speaker once more pursued his method of
jotting down the names Of members present
and not voting.
directed the clerk to enter on the journal the
names of several members present but not vot-
ing. Mr.. Bland Immediately arose and de-
manded that the vote be announced before the
names were read, but the Speaker calmly g
nored him and proceeded to call the names
Notwithstanding.

in which he declared that the Speaker might
be deaf to his appeal, but that it was on ac-

LOUD PROTESTS OF THE DEMOCRATS.
The Speaker (calmly)-The previous ques-

proval of the journal.
Mr.. Bynum Qnd. moved to adjourn, but the
Speaker declined to recognized him and again
put the motion on the approval of the journal.
MIR. BLAND SAYS IT Is AN OUTRAGE.
Mr.. Bland demanded the yeas and nays
(Which were ordered) and, pending this, moved
to adjourn. But the Speaker was deaf to this
motion, which called forth the declaration from
Mr.. Springer that this was tyranny simple and
unadulterated, and the further declaration
from Mr.. Bland that it was an outrage and that
the House could not be in more demoralized
condition than the Speaker.
