Cheers In tho House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2G.-Thc Senate
met at noon in continuation of the leg
islatvc day of Thursday last, the pend
ing question being the rcsultion to
amend the rules by providing a method
for closing debate.
Morgan resumed the floor ana con-
tinued his argument he began Saturday
i'll opposition to the proposed rule and
to the election bill, both of which meas
ure he claimed Con the authority of the
New York Times) to be for the advance
ment Of llarrison's project for a re. cleo
ton.
At | 30 Wolcott asked Morgan to
yield the floor to him so that he might
move to take up the apportionment bill.
Morgan said that he would do so
although he was at very interesting
point in his speech which he trusted he
would never have the opportunity to
resume.
Wolcott then made that motion and
Dolph moved to lay it on the table.
The point OF order against the latter
motion was made OH the Democratic
side, but the presiding officer ovcrruled
1t and held that the motion was in order.
The vote was proceeded with amid
great excitement and there was much
confusion and some i'll feeling in rcla-
tion to the pairs.
Daniel said that he had been paired
with Squire. but as he was informed by
the Senator from Nevada (Stewart) that
the Senator from California (Stanford)
was in favor Of proceeding with lie
business he would transfer Squirrels pair
to Stamford aud would himself vote.
Aldrich objected to the proposed
transfer and insisted that there wa. no
authority for it.
Stewart admitted that he had no direct
authority to pair Stamford with the SEN
ator in favor of the proposed rule, but
said that Stanford told him before leav-
ing the CITY for New York that he was
in favor of taking up the. superintendent
bill.
Aldrlch asserted, on the contrary, that
Stanford had told him distinctly On sew
cral occasions that he was in favor of
the pending resolution and Of its con-
slderation, and he (Aldrich) lntimatcd
that the proposed transfer would be
taking an unfair advantage Of Standlord's
absence.
The controversy developed some acri-
monious feeling on both sides, but the
matter was settled by Daniel saying that
if there was any doubt or dispute about
it he would let his pair with Sqeire stand
and that was the upshot Of it.
Some question also arose as to the
pairs Of Shoup and Moody but the final
result was that the pairs stood as fol-
lows: Pierce and Brown, Plumb and
Gibson, Pettigrew and Pasco, Squire and
Daniel, Shoup and Colquitt, Sanders and
ingalls,, Chandler and Blodgctt, Moody
and Hearst, Higgins and Voorhees,.
Stamford stands as absent and not
paired.
The result was announced as: Yeas
81. nays 35. So the motion to lay on
the table was rejected.
The announcement was greeted with
applause on the Democratic side and in
the galleries. This was resented by
Edmunds, who insisted that the chair
should enforce the rules of the Senate,
and that if there was any repetition of
the disturbance the galleries should be
cleared.
The following is the vote in detail:
Yeas-Aldrich, Allen, Allison, Blair,
Carey, Casey, Cullom, Davis, Dawes,
Dixon, Dolph, Edmunds, Evarts, Far

The vote was then taken on Wolcott's
motion to take up the apportionment
bill and it was carried by 4 like vote
yeas 35, nays 34-the only divergence
beng that Pettigrcw's pair was trans
fcrrcd from Pasco to Call.
There was no distinct outbreak Of
applause at the final success of the
movement against the election bill and
the proposed rule, but tho feeling Of
jubilation was no less great on the
Democratic side and Blair intrrposed
that was the time to get up, aud so now
this was the time to take up and pass
the education bill. Cries Of "Orlcr"
from the Democratic side.
The resolution for the amendment of
the rules having been thus displaced and
relegated to the calendar Gas the election
bill had previously bcen) the Senate pro-
cceded to the consideration Of the appor-
| tionment bill,
The reading Of the bill and the report
continued till 3 o'clock and the bill was
then laid aside till tomorrow at 2o'clock
when it comes up as unfinished business.
| The Good News In the House.
| When the vote was taken III the Sen
ate the House was taking vote on the
same question, and the Clerk had called
| but few names when Mansur and
| Heard, returning from the Senate side,
spoke few words to their Democratic
colleagues, whereupon Rogers rose, and
intcrrupting the call, informed the House
that the force bill had been defeated.
