Yesterday was th stormiest day witnessed at

one in the annals or American history, uariag
the day there must bare teen no less than ten
noxsand people el tnecapitoi.and many or those

The question before tot Home in tbe morn

After a day of wearisome delay, the original
proposition to reject the certificate or on ef tht

Before th resolution could be considered th
hour of 1. o'clock arrlred, and th House was
called to order as of Thursday's session.
j And the filibusters tried to resort to atrlek

Speaker Rakdall during the flllbusterlugea the
force bltlja the Ferty.Tbird Congress. That was
to read the Journal in txttnto. Tbe journal of
the House Is made up la a skeleton form. But If
iany member demands It, alt the papers presented
must be read, area tnoludlig tbe calls of the roll.
Thit was attempted tciay, but tee speaker
Hated mat ino journal naa not been made
dp snd could hot be read. As there was a dlspo
Iritlon to demand the reading anyhow, Mr. Wood
settled the question by dispensing wita the read
ing or tne journal under a suspension or the rules.
And then UACLriBU' resolutions were ruled t
be In order, and all the amendments allowable
baling been made, the Speaker ruled that the
debate must commence, but tbe flllbostiriwere
aot willing to go ahead without a strurgle.
c-nd then ensued one of the most exciting
uoeneeina. naeoTer taaeu piaco oa tne neoroi
the nous, ana it appeared at one time as though
there was to be a general icilmmsge. Among
large number who wer trying to catch the ere
Lf the SrKAKxn, and to be heard, was Mr,
UtEM (H, v.i, one or tne most eioitabie mea on
tbeflocr. Caclviild had appealed from ado

that he coma not no neara iromnii seat, no

Vted loudly for recognition. This bold stroke
was greeted loudly with applause from the Hem.
locrsts, but the galleries generally thought that
tne new yok memoir nau maae an ass or sum
Lelf, and so they hissed blm loudly,
J Auild the confusion some of the members de.
minded that tue lobbies in the rear of tbe seats
snd tbe galleries be cleared, because they had
participated la the applause. The first sugges
Hon was carried out. Tbe crowd on tbe floor
took refuge la tbe cloak; rooms, whence they
were drlren out by the officers or the House. Tbe
jillerks were not disturbed, la fact It would
hsre caused mueh confusion to hare carried out
that order, they were so much crowded.
TliearEAKMoore too disorder ana confusion
with the bestol temper for a long time, but he at
last began to lose patience, and said that he
would preserro order In such a determined man
ner, that he was greeted with arplause from the
jltiuDiican siue.
After awhile order was restored sufficiently
rcr the debate to proceed.
A question had arista as to what had become
Jif the sealed package which Mr. Hbwitt had
pre-cntcd to tho House, and It was
Plated that It had been carried ofl by the Secre
tary of the Senate. Hut a letter was read from
Mr. Uorham, stating that be had lea the paper
kn tho Clerk's desk. Subsequently, And while
Mr Tabrt, or Virginia, was speaking, Mr.
Hewitt Interrupted htm to say that tbe paper
a vl just been Handed to Dim by a messenger.and
Lit bo had refused to receive It, It seems that
a pag from th Senate bad tendered tho paper
to Hkmitt, He was standing by with th
document In his band. The SrsAnn suggested
tlat he would reeelT tho paper If there was no
objection, but there was objections from both
sidescfth Houses.
Tbe nest notable speech made during the af.
ternooB, was that of Mr. Litt, of Louisiana, who
while deploring the result oftbe Eleotorat Tri
bunal had th manliness to say that he would
acqulesc in th result
After tne discussion, the filibusters re
sorted to OTery expedient to defeat tho
manifest will of tbe majority of tho House, by
laying a long train of motions upon which they
could oil the roll. This they did by calling tho
yeas and nays on all the propositions presented,
and UenbymoTlngtoreoons'der, to lay on th
table, ;fcc la this way they secured ten or
twelTC roll calls, which occupied the time of tho
House until nearly eloren o'clock. Th filibust
ers had In th meantime flzedup an elegant
arrangement, (If It cculd bar been
carried out), which was to secure
anoth.r large number of roll-calls by offering
amendments to a resolution, if offered, to notify
the Senate t tat the House was ready to go Into
Joint Conrentlon again to continue the count.
Speaker Kahdail blocked that garaebyglT
log a decision as soon as tho final result was dt
clared, that as tho House had had erery opportu
nity to consider and reconsider Its notion, ho
would not entertain any rarthcr motions
for delay, Ho regaded the law as
mandatory that as soon as a resaltwas reached
the Senate should be notified, and that the Joint
Conrentlon should be again called to order.
That oourse was pormed and at fir minutes of
eleren o'clock the JolntOonventlon re-assembled.
Therote of Vermont was announced for Hayes
and Wheeler, Virginia and West Virginia were
passed la that objection. It was latended
to make a formal objection to the Tote
of Virginia, but tbe conspirators for dilay
Wire unable to get a Senator who was willing to
engaitelatbefarceby affixing, his signature to
, th objection.
Wisconsin was then reached, aa objection was
made, and the Joint Conrentlon again dissolved,
and the Senators retired to their chamber.
As soon as order had been restored. Mr. Mills
(Texas), as a privileged question, offered resolu
tions declaring that tbe time had arrived when
tho House should elect a President of the
United Statu.
The Speaker ruled that tho resolution could
be offered as an amendment toa resolution whleh
Mr. Ltxde had previously offered, that the vote
of the elector objected to la Wisconsin should not
be counted. Amotion was then made for a re
cess until 10 o'clock Friday, but was rejected. As
tho Speaker was putting tbe motion, a message
was received from the Senate, announcing; that
they had decided to count th rot or Wisconsin.
The announcement ot 4 smb. prompt ac
tion was received with loud applause
en the floor and In the galleries. The Democrats
were very much annoyed at th applause, and a
motion was renewed to clear the galleries, but It
was not carried Into effect.
The debate then proceeded, and at a quarter
of three o'clock the questions was .called oo tbe
several propositions presented.
At this hour tho galleries were still well filled,
a largo number of ladles remaining to see th
final result.

Hendricks. The formal declaration In due form,
according to law, was then mad la favor of

This announcement was received without llttl
demonstration, th assembly evldentty rem em

clapped his bands. Above this there was
nothing, and the great crowd surged forth

est and most threatening t- struggle
for th Presidency that has taken place la tho
history of the nation. May we never know such

P. Jones, a superintendent of the Lehigh and
Wllkesbarro Coal Compeny, at Lansford, Carbon

that ho would havo confessed long ago had he
known how. He also says that he did not want
to commit the murder, but was afraid to baok out

cowardice attributed to him by his brother mem
bora of tbe Ancient Order or Hibernians. Tbe

California Crop Prospect
(By Telegraph to the National Republican)
Ban Frakcisco, March 1. Crop reports
from the interior are to the effect that through
out Sacramento ralley, tbe northern portion of
tbe State, and also la Napa and Soaora valleys,
tbe prospects are very flattering for an abundant
harvest with the usual spring rains, and fair crops
seem assured even with a slight rainfall fur the
remainder ofthe season. In the tower portion of
tbe San Joaquin valley tbe grain Is la a good con
dltlon, except in the highlands, where It has suf
fered from the lack ol moisture. In tbe Santa
Clara and Salinas valleys the crops are In good
condition, but rain Is needed. The same Is true
la a greater degree of the country around Los
Angelosandln the upper portion or the San Joa
quia vjlley, lathe Southern coast counties the
prospects are rather better than In the Interior,
la inanr places where grala Is at present
languishing, a good rain would put an entirety
dlderent face on attain. The weather througu
out nearly the entire State to-day is threatening
Wade Hampton.

clvlornd military ovation. Tho streets leading

from tbe Columbus barracks, tho Columbus
cadets, and the cadets from the Chlo Agricultu

bands furnished music. Tbe arrival of the party
was greeted by a great crowd of oltlsess, whsF
rent th air with cheers as th Governor and his
family transferred themselves from the carriages
to tbe special cars provided for them. In response
to the demands of the maltltude Governor Hayes
appeared on the rear platlorm of his car and do
llvendtb following l
MTriLLOWClTUEKSj-l appear to say a rw
worda la bidding good-bye to joutl understand
very wll the uncertainty of pabllo affairs at Wash
lagton,l understand very will that possibly next
week I way be with you again to resume my place
lath Governor's office, and as your fcllewcltl
sea bat I alto understand that It Is my daty to bo
at Washington, prepared to amirae another posi
tion, bltiierandsaore responsible, and with more
difficult duilei. 1 have thought, as I looked upon
thli great audience, and as to-day 1 gated on Hie
people who threiigod our route lo this depot, of a

with a thoisaad men, to paaa to the Xatt, and to tbo
South, todowhatweeouldtorcetora the Union of
the Bute, and reeitilUh the autueriir or the.
Conciliation, (Cheers.)
In that work we wereemlnentfy successful, so far.
as It was noffhlble to be successful, br force of arms.
I am not Bereto aaya word tn disparagement of
what waa accomplished by tbe brave men who weat
out with me from alfiUent parte of th coaauy, of
mr comrades oae third and over never ritaraed to
their boniest they perished la us discharge of tbelr
datlrs that the KepubU snlakt live, fiat thero was
something force could not do. We would hare our
Union to be a union of heart, aad we would have
our CoiaUtuMoa obeyed, net merely beeauae of force
that compels obedience, bnt obeyed because the peo
ple lore tbe principles of the Constitution, Long
contlnaed applause,
And to-day If I am called to the work to which
Abraham Llocola waa called sixteen years ago, it
lsnudertbe brighter skies and more favorable aus-

that by the all of dcvlne providence, we may do
sonretuingiBtnifldByerpeaeeroy woraeor peace,
towards re-establlsbing la tbe hearts of our country
men a real and a hearty attachment to tbe Conelltu
tlon as It la, and to tbe Union as It lo I Lour con
tinned applause, which was only stepped by tbe ap
proach ralocvmotlve, watch moved slowly down
to take the car away.
Of course a resumption of the remarks was In
possible, and as th trala moved away the air was
rent with tho shouts, which the Governor ac
know led ged. by bowing. As tho trala emerged
from the depot a number of locomotives on the
sidetracks drowned th voices or the multitude
In resounding toots, certainly a good by suffici
ently hearty.

hearty greeting. The Governor was escorted to
be rear platform, and was kept busy for some
moments In shaking hand, as the people pressed
forward with great eagerness for recognition. The
enthusiasm was unbounded, and wishes for suc
cess ol tbe new Administration were showered
upon the Governor. Calls were made for a speech,
but the Governor bowed In aeknow lodgment, and
la a moment the train was gone. Alter the train
