WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The galleries
of the House were crowded to their ut
most capacity long before noon to-day
by spectators anticipating resumption
Of the contest Of yesterday. Nor we're
they disappointed, for as the Clerk read
the journal, in the usual manner,
omitting the detailed vote by yeas and
nays, on the question of consideration
against the contested election case, Mr..
Breckinridge. Of Kentucky, rose and
demanded the reading Of the full vote.
After d moments hesitation the Speaker
directed this to be done. This having
been completed, Mr.. Breckenridge de.
manded the reading Of the names
of those not voting aud the Speaker
ordered this to be done also. Then
Mr.. Springer, OF Illinois, demanded
the reading in full Of the statement OF
Speaker Reed, giving the grounds for his
ruling yesterday and the Clerk pro.
ceeded to read accordingly.
4 The reading Of the journal having been
completed, Mr.. Mckinley, of Ohio;
moved that the journal be approved and
upon that motion demanded the pre-.
vious question.
Mr.. Blanchard, OF Indiana, was imme.
diately on his feet, rising to question OF
personal privilege relating to the Jour
nal, but the Speaker declined to recog.
nize him on the ground that demand
for the previous question was pending.
Mr.. Springer, OF Illinois, moved an ad.
journment and demanded the yeas and
nays. While the vote was being taken
on ordering them, Mr.. Springer stated
that his object was to allow the Commit

One hundred and twenty.four members
rose to demand the yeas and nays. The
Speaker declared this to be u sufficient
number, and directed the Clerk to call

his words were not fully audible to
many persons: "You are the meanest
|tyrant that ever presided over a legisla-
