WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Hous
met at II o'clock in continuation o
Wednesdays session and tho Wyomin,
admission bill was again taken up 10
consideration.
Mr.. Outhwaite, Of Ohio, opposed thu
bill, basing his opposition upon tho In
sutllcicncy Of population in the proposed
State.
Mr.. Buckalew, Of Pennsylvania. also
antagonized the measure, declaring that
It was bribe held out to Congress by
the local oflice.seeking element in the
Territory. 1t was intended to pack the
United States senate-a Senate already
having eight new Republican seats, six
fairly held and two stolen.
Mr.. McAdoo, Of New Jersey, said that
the Constitution Of Wyoming, II not the
worst constitution ever adopted, was
abreast OF the worst. There was In that
constitution every thing bad in politics,
morals aud economics. The only rood
thing In 1t WIS tho clause which allowed
It to be amended. 1t held out to the
European syndicates an advertisement
that Wyoming was the Mecca to which
they should hasten their steps In order
to gobble up the public lands.
WHAT MR.. SPRINGER "THINKs."
Mr.. Springer, OF Illinois, commented
upon the small attendance Of members
when bill Of this Importance was before
the House. The position which he had
taken in regard to the territories was an
advanced one. In the last Congress lie
had favored the admission OF the four
new States. At this session he had in.
troduced an omnibus bill, because he
thought that all the territories should
be treated fairly and equally. The Wye.
ming bill gave women the right OF sui.
frage. The Idaho bill deprived the Nor.
mon men and women OF the right to
vote. The reason for this was that in
the Mormons voted the Re-
publican ticket, while in Idaho it was
suspected that they voted the Demo-
cratic ticket. Mormonism was no objec.
ton to the admission OF State when
the people having that belief were sus.
pectcd OF having desire to vote the
Democratic ticket. He believed that il
the Aformons OF Utah would vote with
the Republicans, the settlement on the
other side would railroad bill through
the House for the admission OF that ter
ritory as Il State. /
It was said by the majority as an ex.
cuse for the small vote which bad been
cast for the constitution, that there was
4 driving SHOW storm aud tremendous
gale, which had kept the people from
the polls. He created much mcrriment
and applause on the Democratic side by
quoting from the meteorological returns
to show that the tremendous gale which
had kept the people from the polls had
been gentle breeze Of one mile an hour
aud the driving snow storm had dwind-
led down to small furry.
TIE BILL PASSED.
Mr.. Grosyenor, Of Ohio, said that the
Democratic party since the fall OF slavery
and since it ceased to admit States in
order to keep up the policy Of slavery,
had always opposed the admission Of
States. A hostility, either open and de.
clared, as now, or covert or insinuated,
rs in the Fittieth Congress, had always
been the policy OF the Democratic party.
At o'clock the previous question was
ordered. After several dilatory motions
the bill was passed-yeas 130, nays l27.
This was a strict party vote, except that
Mr.. Dunnell, OF Minnesota, voted with
