CONGRESSIONAL.

Washington, Sept. 21.-After a short
passage between Mr.. Reed and the
speaker relative to the journal, the
approval Of the latter was deferred,
and Mr.. Catchings presented a report
Of the rules committee prOviuIng for
taking up the election law repeal bill
on Sept. % and final vote on Oct.
10. The yeas and nays were called on
ordering the previous question, and it
was Ordered-A.- to- 4. The house then
proceeded to vote on the report of the
committee on rules.
The report of the committee on rules
was adopted-yeas, 179; nays, 3. The
house then took up and discussed the
report Of the committee on accounts,
assigning clerks to SO of the 81 com
mitteeS.
By good deal Of effort the demo
Gratis barely succeeded in mastering
a quorum and the previous question
ordered, 175 to ~. Thirty minutes
were allowed for debate. Instead of
devoting the time to a discussion of
the order of the measure it pertained
to, ex-speaker Reed opened a debate on
the correctness of Speaker Crisp's rul-
ing yesterday.
In the senate Mr.. Platt, republican
of Connecticut, offered resolution for
cloture The matter went over.
Mr. PETER re-introduced the bill to
provide for bureau of loans.
The repeal bill was Len taken up and
Mr. White, of California, addressed the
senate, claiming that there were other
causes for the financial panic besides
the Sherman act.

also repeats the Sherman act and pro
vides that owners of silver bullion

put in the treasury, shall be coined

1878 which was read. When the chair
put the question on the resolution ap-
parently there was one vote in the af-
firmatiye. The repeal bill was then
taken up
The cloture resolution was then laid
before the senate and Mr.. Walcott
took the floor and made a statement.
Although he said that he would vote
against it, he declared that no facti-
tious opposition would be made to it,
and that vote upon it could be reach

repeal bill could be. If the senate de-

however. eloture was not necessary be-
cause there had been no factious delay.
In closing, Mr. WOlcott said that for
himself he would just as soon have the
vote taken on the bill at once and get
it all over with; but if his associates

the majority might see fit to impose.
The bill could be discussed until the
time for vote came. Any attempt
to impose cruel and unusual conditions
would be met by every obstacle that
the rules permitted, until those who
controlled the senate should adopt the

Obeying this request, Dennis left the
room with eager haste, evidently anx-
ious to do everything within his power
to expedite North's movements.
When few minutes later North made
his appearance on the steps of the hotel

which he had been so fortunate as to
secure from the Clement house stables.

The city clocks were Ginning the
hour of four the next day when North
returned from Evansburg wearied by
the trip and only half satisfied with its
results He had won partial success,
and he had every reason to anticipate a
speedy and complete victory; still in his
present mood of eager impatience the
slightest element of uncertainty, the
briefest interval of delay annoyed him
beyond the measure of quiet endurance.
As he went up the steps of the Glenn
ent house he was loudly greeted by
group of gentlemen, foremost among
whom was Warner.
at last ct lastl Here he isr' arose
the chorus; and one voice added:
'sWhere have you kept yourself for

posture. While his impulse was to spring
hastily into the carriage and give the
rein to the eager, impatient horses that
were chatting under Dennis strong
grasp OF the bits, be actually paused on
the pavement to exchange a little tri-
fling conversation with passing &C
quaintance (of Noll's) who greeted him.
Il 1t was while he was thus engaged,
standing with one foot on the carriage
step, that handsome victoria, driven
by liveried coachman, came sweeping
down the street, Ts:th an almost inn
perceptible slackening of speed as it
came opposite the Clement house.
North glanced up carelessly and became
vaguely conscious that Mrs. Maynard,
looking like queen in her rich velvet
costume was bowling to him graciously
| from the carriage Vaguely conscious
! of this, because in the same moment his
| glance fell upon the lady who was
! seated beside her; and all his carefully
assumed composure was swept away
| for an instant by the violent start that
he gave, the conflicting expressions
that passed in lightning transition over
his suddenly paling face. He never was
able to recall afterward whether or not
he returned Mrs. Maynard's salutation;
his only consciousness was of gazing
blankly after the vanishing carriage
with his eyes fixed upon that slight,
graceful figure at Mrs. Maynard's side
and his white lips murmuring insanely
the one name:
'sMyral Myrai'
He was rudely aroused from this mo-
his arm, and turning quickly he en-
countered Dennis O'Reilly.
ssWhat is the matter with you,
O'Reilly?" North demanded, sharply, |
shaking off the brawny hand that was
loath to relinquish its clutch Don't

way?"
Dennis scarcely seemed to hear these
words. His round eyes were extended
to their utmost capacity, his mouth was
wide open, his very hair seemed to be
suddenly electrified and on end with
wonder and delight.
