Houline Work- — Hayes Denies Havmjr Committed ILmaclf to a Southern Policy-Staten Kivhls Dicisiou i>y the Supreme Court. 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 in tho Treasury, $90,250,000 : currency, •9,125,000. 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.” Col, T. L Casey relieves Geu. Bab cock as District Engineer. Gen. Bub- : cock is ordered to duty ns Engineer f j the Fifth Light House District. Col. | Dank I McClure, Chief Paymaster of the Department of the South, is re lieved by Major W. b. Rochester. In the Supreme Court, the Granger cnees were decided to-day adversely to railroads and the light of the State Legislatures to regulate rates of freight accorded.

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 copy until he denied it.

When the iobatv wa, iib ut half through a page from the Senate came into the House s ib tin return, lie took it t Mr. H' *ilt. but Unit gentleman d< elided to l,v « ive It. The pag- dacliin <1 to s'ate w facie be go' it an 1 wfa , blm with It, to whom be was lirntrurtcj |, u( | » ! l», "I «•-> tiling COOlie ■*,, | with i'i» lusi iy of the 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.

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.

Agtud to. 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 -1 ties of Geo. Watson Carr, of West Vir ginia ; J. S. K.e maid, of Georgia; Jno. M. Haden, of Tex is, aud G. H. Holmes, ; of North Carolina, were taken up and passed. 3lr. Morton Serenaded- He Explains Hayes' Southern Policy -Proceed ings of the Democratic Caucus.
