Wa£KISOTo.n, Iduicii I.—Recets hav
ing expired at teo o’clock, the Semite ;
reassembled at that hour, but no legis
lative business could be transacted.
The objections in the Vermont case |
having been disposed of last night, the |
Senate awaited the action of the House
on that matter.
In the House,all bills recently passed
by the Senate removing political dis
abilities was passed.
A call of the House was moved for ;
the purpose of delay. The Speaker
counted the House and found a quo- !
nun. A roil call was demanded to j
verity the Speaker’s decision.
The House scorns perfectly uncoil- !
mdlable. The miuority demand their
Vermont paper and the Speaker rules
i hat the motion to suspend the rules
is in order and refuses to entertain ap
pi als. Ail tlic members are on their
fret except those who are on tie it
desks.
Kami-ill has just, said the chair is de
termined that gentlemen shall take
their seats. It will not submit burner
to this disorder. | Applause.) Hut dis
order continues. The Mace officer lias
paraded over the House. Members are
seated and the Speaker has ordered
visitors frofn the floor.
Speaker liandall, after having the
rules read, said: 'The Chair is reso
lute. The Sergcaut at-Arms will do his
duty.”
The cloak-room, and all approaches
to the House ate cleared.
The vote is uow progressing, on a
motion to suspend the rules and pro-J
ceed with the count.
It is quite likely that the House, in- I
stead of certifying the lb-turning
K uin! of Louisiana to court for putt- j
ishment, they will be turned hose.
Two hours’ debate on Vermont coin- j
menced. After which, proceedings for
the production of the missing paper i
from Vermout will lie in order.
On motion to suspend tlie rules and
suspend the reading of the journal the |
yens were 175, nays 85. Gen. Gibson,
Col. Levy and Capt. Ellis, of the Lou- ;
iaiumt delegation, voted yea. This call
is pieiitniuary to Poftpleton’s motion i
regarding the Vermont, returns. The I
further count may bo delayed several!
hours unless forced by a us <luti. >u to
proceed i»c passed under the suspen
sion of the tules. It lias transpired j
that a duplicate return from Vermont j
was flled with the Clerk,of the Court, j
whoso duty it was to forwaidit. The :
minority insist that the Senate shall 1
meet and open the certificate from that ,
State tendered now or send for one |
which, by legitimate procedme, should I
be in Terry’s box.
Speaker Randalljrules that Ferry, iti i
refusing to read, but carrying away |
with him a duly authenticated paper
affecting the election iu Vermont, acted 1
wrongly, aud it is competent for this’
House to demand a return of t lie pa
per. A resolution to this edict is
pending.
Thejdcbt. statement slews a decrease
during the month of $2,000,000; coin

The Conference Committee on the
Legislative Appropriation bill had u
long session, without progress. The
Conference Committee on postal affairs
seems hopelessly apart, on subsidies.
The Star says: “Ex-Governor R. F.
Powers, of Mississippi, who has just ,
arrived in this city, stopped on his way j
and had an interview with Gov. Hny»s
as to life probable Southern policy. |
Gov. Hayes assured this gentleman j
that lie lias not written a syllable uor
authorized any to indicate what course
he would pursue iu the South, in the
event of ids inauguration, further thun
was set forth by Ids letter of accept-j
mice, atul that all reports relating j
thereto are unauthorized, so far as he I
is concerned.”

In the House, during the debate on
Vermont, Hewitt stated that he re
ceived a package officially addressed
to Ferry in December, with a letter
stating that a duplicate had been ad
dress'd to Ferry by mail. Hewitt in!
no and übt Feiry bad had his m u

A p-si lotion was then off red by J.
Proctor Knott, that the duplicate from
Vermont should be i peurd by tLe
Fieri lent of tbe Senate in tile pres- j
erce of the two Houses, and i? found
to be a genuine certificate, that the
same, together with ali the certificates,
shall be teferred to the Electoral Com
mission; that if the Senate p fuse to
meet in j- int convent iou for that pur
pose, that the House notify it that it
will not be ready to receive it until it j
does. The yeas aud nays were de
manded, and the resolution was lost
by - yeas, 116; nays, 148.
Mr. Hopkins, of Pennsylvania, then
introduced a resolution directing that
the President of the Senate open tin*
certificate. It, was in ali reap, cts the
same as tbe resolution just voted
down, with the exception that the
words, “That the House wiil not meet
the Senate until it acquiesces therein,”
were omitted—yeas, 116; nays, 148.
Lane moved to reconsider the vote.
After discussion, the Speaker ruled the
motion to reconsider in order. Hale
moved to lay it ou the table, upon
which the yeas and uays were ordered.
Au all night session is indicated.
No Southern nominations to-day.
The Senate is still in session, waiting
to he culled to the House to proceed
with the count.
in the House, duiiug debate, Mr.
Stone, who was one of the tellers,
stated he saw the Secretary of the Sen
ate throw a package under the table
among the rubbish. Stone notified
Hewitt. He subsequently saw the
recretury take a package from under
the table and put it in his pocket.
In illustration of the character ofjthe
debate, Wilson, of lowa, said if the
House intended to execute the law, it
would be absolutely necessary to adopt
a resolution cutting off all fillibuster
iug.
Walling replied - Wb< n fraud is law,
Illlibustering is patriotism.
Hancock, of Texas, said—'Traitors
never practice put kuisin.
The Senate and House are still in ,
session.
The fobbed Vermont, returns are
bandied shrewdly by the irreeoueil
ables. Nothing out their formal pro
duction by Mr. Ferry, which Mr. l-Vt
ry’s friends think would be disgraceful,
will satisfy them.
The Star intimates that the President
will not accept as conclusive any it reg
ular count. and proclamation by the
Senate. If the election fhw fails, he
will not. allow Mr. Ferry’s doubtful
powers to nv. rt the hazard of a choice
between.Conkliug aud Morton, follow
ed by anew election. The outlook is
j dreary.
The low price of gold is shrewdly no
i eouuted for by a hypothesis that in the
depressed condition of trade uo oue
i will want it.
In the House a vote was finally
; reached that the vote of Sollaee should
1 not bo counted, by a vote of 210 to 22,
j the Republicans deeming it the best
j policy to vote for it.
No* prospect for a joint session for
I some hours.
Vermont is Counted for Hayes—Wis
consin Objected to.
| The House, at last, at. 9:30 p. m„
; reached a v t.- a Poppleton’s reaolu
i tlon as amend'd by Wood’s substitute,
j that is, the vote of Sollaee be uot
' counted.
Mr. Walling endeavored to interpose
, further delay in the shape of a request
j that he be excused fretn voting, which
I the Speaker refused to entertain, and
j an appeal from the ruling of the chair,
which the Speaker also refused to en
j tertain, and so the roll call proceeded,
j and it resulted, yens, 205; nays, 26. So
j that the decision of the House was
that the vote of Sollaee be not counted.
Most of the Republicans voted with
the majority for the purpose of bring
ing the question to a close.
11 p. in.—'Veiniout lias been counted
for Hayes, and objection is raised to
; Wisconsin.
At II o’clock the contest was over in
the House, the final vote taken and the
Senate notified. The Senate then came
| to the House and the votes of Vermont,
Virginia and West Virginia were 1
• counted. Finally the last State was
reached, the State of Wisconsin, and
‘ objections arc cow being made to the
certificate.
LaTkr—The Senate, at 11 :25, retired
to its chamber so the Houses might
separately determine the question.

after the vote not to count Soli ace's

had allowed every legitimate legisla

Senate of the division is mandatory.
Several propositions were overruled,
when O''x said : “There is no use en

The committca.after explaining what
they were required to do under the
resolution, say that there arc two ways
; in which the right of suffrage may he
abridged. One is to d«ny the legal
voter the privilege of depositing his
ballot, and the other is to refuse to
■count the liaiiot after it is deposited.
By different |>arties it is claimed that
! both of tli- se methods’have boon pur
sued within the State of Louisiana,
flic allegafi -;t as to the last, cannot he
controverted. The laws of Louisiana
authorize its tribunals, under certain
conditions, to rej <et from the count
not only the entire vote of a ftrecindt,
imt the entire vote of the parish.
In conclusion, the committee says
that the testimony taken is not suffi
ciently complete to enable it to sky
positively what, would have been the
result ot the election in this State if
intimi'lation had not been ompl yod at
all. But organized intimidation is
charged against seventeen parishes of
th' State, against forty acsuoli oluugcs
arc made. In. those huty pig-wliesTbe
coi .-red registration numbered 57.4W19:
white registration numbered 72.937,
leaving a maj riiy of colored voters
registered of to 9tV». Those forty
istit's returned 07).747 R ‘publican X'otes
and 59.3512 TVi«<*or«tk* votes, so "that
in that part of the S.*re whore in'im-i
--da'ion is not charged, there was a Re
publican majority o! S.SSSvotes,
i It is not pretended that the same
arguments were employed in the forty
pslishes that were ortijtoyed in the
other seventeen, but the results are
veiy different. In the seventeen par
ishes sdd to have been iniin idatedt-he
c lored registration was £7.385' and the

Mr. vifrii.-i.-e ,f Pennsylvania,
surd it would be seeu by the
substitute that the Senate occu
pied tbe field heretofore occupied by
the House of Representatives or, in
other words, it originated an Appropri
ation. bill as tbe substitute was anew
bilL The bill just passed by the House
proposed many changes, some of which
were vaiuable. Yet the Senate Com
mittee, by repor ing this substitute, re
fused co consider them, and the Repre
sentatives of the people, by this sub-_
e** «ri\, were n fused a hearing in the
S„ ...ne. The House had thoroughly
considered the matter of using the
army in Louisiana, but the Senate Com
rnictee, by its report, refused to allow
tbe matter to be considered in the Sen
ate. The proper course for the Senate
would be to examine each provision of
the H- use bill and adopt amendments
iu oases where it might be thought
tteceweaty to d> so. 'lUe substitute
fixed tue atftnv at 25,000 enlisted men,
instead of 17,000, a» proposed by the
House bill.
Mr. Davis, of West Virginia, moved
to reduce the number of men from
25.000 to 20,000, and said the adoption
of this amendment would result iu an
j annual saving to the Government of
| between three aud four milliun dollars
annually. He believed an army of
20,000 men was large enough iu times
of peace. The India ds were not so
troublesome now as they had been,
and no troops were wanted iu Southern
States, where a good many were loca
ted.
Mr. Logan, of Illinois, opposed the
amendment, and said, a- every session
of Congress there was some proposi
tion up, n an appropriati »n bill cutting
at the anuy. It was not an economical
uaeu-uM- to be constantly striking at
the private soldiers. . Why not say
there should be only a certain cumber
of officers? The soldier iu the army
was the cheapest part of ir. He did
r«ot oetteve our army was large enough.
It should consist o' 30.000 men, which
would give about 25.000 effective men
Au army of 20,000 would reave an
‘-flfective force of not more than 17.000.
If it was desirable to reorgauiz: the
army, Let a commission be appointed
to coasi U-r tae matter and report to
Congress.
Mr. id-due said tue proposi'iou of
the House was to reduce the army to
17,000 tueu. Thirty-five years ago,
when the Indians were nothieg Uire'so
bad as they are now, the army consist
ed of 12.000 men. The army was small
er now, considering the area of coun
try and the points to be guarded, than
it ever was before. He thought it
would be very imprudent iu the last
hours of the session to reduce the army
as proposed. Probably the army could
be reduced with safety, but no Senator
now bad any data upon which he could
say it could be so reduced.
Mr. Bayard, of Delaware, said it was
uot the cost of the army to which the
people objected so much as they did
to the employment of the army. ~ The
people of the country feared that the
army had been used for purposes dan
gerous to their liberties, heuce object
ed to it. It how seemed to be general
ly understood that the outgoing ad
ministration admitted that the use of
the army in the Southern States was
not successful. He hoped the day
would come when the laws would be
enforced by the military power, only
as a last resort, and then bv the militia
of the State, instead of the Federal
army. Ten or twelve years ago there
were emergencies calling for a large
army, which, thank Heaven, no lunger
existed. He therefore supported the
bdl <>f the House of Representatives.
Mr. Blaine. said he d;d uot believe
there was a lawyer on either side or
the chamber who would say that tha
President of the United States was the
Constitutional Commander-in-Chief of
the Army. In some instances he should
command the army, and iu others
should not.
Mr. Bayard argued that Congress
had full power to regulate the use ot
the army.
The ameudinent of Mr. Davis was
[ rejected. Yeas, 25 ; navs, 33.
Mr. Alcorn voting with the Demo
crats iu the affirmative.
Mr. Keroan (N. Y.) opposed the sub
-1 stitute, and concurred in the views ex
| pressed by the Senator from Delaware
i v 'ld- Bayard.) He argued that Con
; gress had power to say that money ap
propriated should not be used for a
certain purpose. It was competent for
Congress to disband the army entirely
i if it thought proper to do so.'
The substitute of the committee was
! agreed to—yeas, 32; nays, 23 —a strict
• “arty vote.
The bill was" then read a third time
1 and pissed.
Bills to remove the political disabili

M. Haden, of Tex is, aud G. H. Holmes,
