THE FIRST VOTE.
The first man who voted in the House
cast his ballot for Mr.. Calhoun, end re-
ceived a storm of Kisses. Mr.. Norwood
then got vote, which was followed by the
first for Gov. Gordon. 1t was cast by Mr..
Atkinson Of Coweta, and was applauded to
the echo. Another Calhoun man voted
and was hssed, and SO was the next and
the next just as they had been in the SEN
ate. Whether Mr.. Calhoun's support
eTs were discouraged in the beginning,
or whether they felt oppressed by the feel
ing that the crowd was against them, it
was noticeable fact that they nearly all
voted in such a subdued tone of voice that
the clerk had frequently to call upon them
to repeat, in order that their choice might
be recorded. This could not be said of Mr..
Sihley, whose reply, when his name was
called, was sharp and quick.
MIR. GRAVES COURSE.
Mr.. Graves of Newton stated that, having
been so instructed by his county, he voted
for Emmet Wommack, and when the bal
loting was finished and Mr.. Wommack had
no other vote but his. he said that having
been convinced that his county's candidate
could not be elected he felt at liberty TO go
to Gen. Gordon.
Mr. Parker of Thomas did not VOTE He
asked unanimous consent and was excused
He was the only member to take such a
course Several others who had anti
Gordon instructions aud anti Calhoun con-
victions contemplated similar action, but
finding Mr.. Norwood's name still before the
assembly voted for him instead. That Mr..
Calhoun should have secured such trifiing
vote in both houSes was a surprise to the
general public, only equaled by that result
ing from his nomination Thursday night.
CHEERING OF THE CROWD.
An interesting effect was produced by the
cheering of the great crowd outside the leg
islative hall. AT first every Gordon vote
was cheered promptly. long ana loudly by
those within, and as the names of Gen.
Gordon's supporters we're thickest in the
earlier letters Of the alphabet, these
manifestations Of approval were
very frequent. By and by things settled
down and decimal system was adopted,
each tenth vote only being cheered. 1t
took about half minute for the news to
get on the outside, and just as the cheers OF
the more fortunate few died away they
would be answered from the multitude with
