! A sense of gloom perveded the Ser

HOUSE.
The leaders were very anxious to get
the bill authorizing the President to
call out the volunteers through the
House and into the hands of the Pres-
dent at the earliest possible moment to-
day. In order TO expedite matters
therefore the conference met before
noon and arranged complete agree.
ment on the Senate amendments. AS
soon as the journal was read the House
went through the formality of agree
ing to q conference. Mr.. Hull chair
man of thesmilitary affairs committee,
then explained the imperative necessi-
ty of haste and what had been done.
Without even q formal ratification of
the informal action OF the conferees he,
thereupon, presented the conference re-
port. The changes agreed upon were
briefly explained.
There was no debate although Mr..
Dockery entered his protest against the
amendment permitting the raising Of
toree thousand men from the United
States at large. The report was then
unanimously agreed to.
The House resumed consideration
Of the Patterson. Carmack election case
and Mr.. Patterson was allowed to adj
dress the House for one hour in his
own behalf.
Mr.. Patterson read his speech which
was carefully prepared. 1t elected fire.
quent applause from the republican
side of the House. He sketched the
history of the issue which had divided
the democratic party and explained his
attitude toward the Chicago platform.
He had believed, he said, that the gold
standard was necessary to the main
tensnce of the public credit and the ma
tional honor. He believed the triumph
of free silver would be a catastrophe
to the country and so believing had
placed fealty to the country above par
ty fealty. He could not surrender his
convictions and he was willing to take
the consequences. Those who were so
anxious to retire him to private life,
he said, were not more anxious than
he. He was willing to allow the fu
ture to vindicate his course. He who
held first to duty as God gave him the
light, he believed, did not live in vain.
Mr. Allen, who followed Mr.. Patter-
son, said he had never before heard
more glowing eulogy to the patriotism
aud craftsmanship of any man than
Mr.. Patterson had just delivered upon
