which iKeuied not to bo misplaced. He rulad
that the substitute was iu order, but
st the same time recognized the fact thnt
another objection h.-td been made to it by Mr.
Wilsoa si Iowa, BBS of the ablest parliamentarian?,
in the House, upon which he dasiied to give an
opinion. Thin object un, waa ba??*d on a ruling mude
some days Ago. that it was not competent for th"
House acting alone and BtadsB its ralas to refer any
question whatever to ?in outside triluinal. and that
auch r?f?rence could only be made by the two
house*, acting concurrently in Ji--nt ( ?invention.
This point va? promptly instslnail by Sjieaker iCan
dail. The Sinaki-r's niling, there is reason to
beheve, w.is not only approved by the Republicans,
but by a majority of the Democrats. Only a law,
the um ist of w horn originally S-?B-*-**BOdtteCeiBp-*oi-ias
bil! and who desired to n.ake the proceed m es ante
it as ridiculous as possible, would have voted for
Mr. Knott's aubntnute. The majority of the
Speakers party asboclates were greatly relieved
by having the necessity of placing thei?.
aivi-s on record on this matter removed. The
?Speaker? ruling ia considered by many loading
Republicans as Ihe most important one in its far
leachiii- efleet of ttxTJ h?* has made this session. If
Mr. Knoit'" substitute bad been r-ceived. it would
havoi-e-.ed the door lo a very dignified and ye:
larly affective mod.* of lilibustenng. Not onlv miL-lit
ev? ry decsion of the Joint Conimission, of what?
ever tiature, be returneil to it for further considera?

Bddi?t*ed tbe must pomied uttuck? toward the
stbei. Yet the controversy throughout was ?v?n
ducted with great dignity and decorum, and undi
ViUed attention wan given by all. The speakers
wart- m tbe main among the liest on e?_cb aide. The
Republican? were Messrs. Mil rnry, banks. Fry?,
Ihinii? ii. and Kaason. The Democrats wtire M<*vo s.
lutkn. >pnnger, Hurd. Carr. Walk-r, and Fiald.
Theajifxrneij were concise, and as a whole much
above tar aierage force and point at those usu?
ally fieaid in Congressional debata.
Ihe unexpected sensation of ihe day waa the
Speech of Mr. Carr of Indiana, the successor of
?%ssater Kerr. Ee has said hule tin-so his election.
His scst ia on the Republican aide, wll back.
Ppeaker's extreme left. He thus sisike acroai
of the Republican side and at the Democrats,
latter, as hia first aentenee fell on them, leane
ward in a eort of perplexity, as if they snp
they had not beard him distinctly ; but in
moments there was no doubt anywhere on th*
or in the -aliones am to his meaning. There hi
dorn been a scene of ?zreatcr intereal than full?
as the successive sentences of the speech rollei
At first a few of Mr. Carr't Democratic asso?
attempted to laugh, but smiles soon Hashed oft
the Democratic aide to play until the .ml o
speech over the faces of the Republicans.
Widker of Virginia attempted to break the for
Mr. Carr's worda. and protest?*?! that it wouh
quire more than one man to read tbe majority o
tue party.
Mr. Fi. Id's closing speech was a failure. It
his se<*ond chance to make a speech in tbe gre
presence of his life, but aa on the first ?set
when the Electoral bill paased. he disappointed
fri?*nds and opponents. His speech consisted
wail that the Commission had not considere?
FI) rida evidence collected with so much can
other words, that hia occupation as a collect
needed evidence was gone. His last BB-BBJB w
statement not founded upon evidence i?
tue House, that one of the Repub
electors was a convicted felon. Mr. I
however, forgot to do full justice
the subject by mentioning that the .
tor whom he was thus denouncing was, i
tta conviction of which he spoke, run by the 1
ocrats of Florida against the lagelas Repu hl
candidate, ?.vus elected asa Democrat, and sei
two terms m a Democratic .State Senator. Cou
with his fen'remarks was a BTBBB insult to the G
mission, such ,u should debar h ini from being a,

Honed elsewhere for words spoken m debate.
Noatu-mpt was matte to cause tlelav ou the
Yea and Nay votes which followed the close of
discussion. Even the reading of the names was
pensed with, when a single objection would 1:
compelled it. The House rejected the vote of i
