C., Feb. 26.—At tho opening of the House, to-day, there was by many hun- dreds a smaller audience in the gallerics than there was yesterday, but, beforo the hour of noon arrived, thero was tho same crowded throng, packed closely on every seat, filling the aisles and doorways, and extending far into the balls. When the Credit Mobilier proceedings began, there was an appearance of about the same brilliant assemblage a8 witnessed the dis- cussions yesterday, excepting thero seemed to be fewer ladics present to-dsy. The reporters’ gallery, as usual, was jammed with & nondescript crowd of loafers, who filled the seats of the regular reporters, and blocked up the commu- nication petween not only the cun and air, but the ontside Worm.th Tl:t;i diplomatic ti‘u was running over Wil es, among them g MMrs, Fl%!h, Mam Bl&i?e it Grsumfl‘mnl " to_n,"llfi'a. Williams, and many ies of the * foreign lega- tion,” as they are called. The attempt to allow such ladies 58 could not obtain places in tho gal- Jeries to occupy seats uponithe floor was again made, but was defeated by the action of .tho most popular of the young. bachelors of the House, Gen. Pierce Young, of Geor, who ~was crowded out of his seat yesterday. The opposition to this courtesy to the ladies camo mostly from the Domocrats,who bad been deprived of their places yesterday. As to those implicated in the Credit Mobilier tranaactions, they were early in their seats, and watched the proceedings with unususl anxiety. Mr. Brooks was a little tardy, 28 he was yester- day, in taking his seat, and Do change was ob- servable inhis appearance. He struck every- body as ono suffering great mental agony and physical prostration. Oakes Ames quite appro~ priately sat with Chaplain Newman, in his ob- Boure seat on the right of the Speaker, having on the desk in front of him a handsomo bouguet of japonicas and heliotropes, presented, 55 is eaid, byalady who was overcome by his tomching eech of yesterday. On thedesk of nearly half the members of the House were stacks of law- books and documents, and it was a little aston- ishing to see how studiously mombers were en- aged in examinations of Iaw-points, precedents, c.,—an operation which led the galleries to believe that the question was to bo mettled on sound principios, and not by sympathetic personal appeals and sophistry. Tho journal of the House to-day was & very short one, and 6o the audience did not have to wait long for the discussion which ‘they came to hear. ~ Mr. Poland was first on his feet, and desired to have some arrangement made asto the discussion, and the time of vot- ing. He said he would call a vote at 4 o'clock, but this was subsequently arranged so that the boginning of the vote withont argument would close in one honr from the expiration of the morning hour to-morrow. A young Maryland member, Mr. Ritchie, offared & substitute to the Poland Gommitteo resolution, and was in favor of severaly censuring Ames, Kelley, Garfield, and the whole lot. Mr. Bingham, an implicated party, ob- joct. Then tho first speach was in ordef, and Mr. Beck was-given tho floor, His manner of acclamation is fidgety and exciting, and ho was not in an argumentative mood. He denounced all of the participants in the stock of the Credit Mobilier, but could see no difference between Brooks and Bingham. He gave the causes in- fluencing the bnbegeby Ames, and Iaid the re- agenaibiiity to the the first partisan ~ speech ‘yet' made on the subjéct, and. was o anen?y regarded a8 unworthy of the man. nex! Was that of Von);heau, who began at 12 o'clock. Ow- ing to the fact that his remarks were of a purely legal character, and devoted to s close analysis e testimony of the Poland Committeo, he did not impress the audience with his oratory as on previous occasions. His fine voice, howaver, was 8 subject of admiration. As | A, Voorhees made the mistako in defending Brooks, Individually, he had little to sy on the general guestion, but all his strength was expended in the cause of his special friend, “#*He could not have been more earnest and care- ful if Mr. Brooks had been bLis client before a jury. The defense of Brooks indeed was his ob- _ctinspelkjng. His idea of the gunty of John L. Alley's charscter was not shared by his listen- ers, He made his case very satisfactory to the friends of Brooks, and was given a round of ap- plause when he sat down. It was now aftor 1 ©o'clock, and, while these able Iawyears were ex- pounding the law to the ‘members of the House in_their character 2s jurymen, balf the jury had vacated their boxes to accept the compliment of a dnmpt:gna lunch enerously spread by an officer of the Honre, £t this dia not deter Mr. Stevenson, of Obio, from makiug the wickedest speech of the dis- cussion. Homade s great hit. Althoigh, as usual, he was a trifle excitable, yet he had his senses, and his powerfal voice compelled a patient hearing. He did not speak Inné;, bat his remarks were fearless and original. Btevenson is an enomy of Blaine, but whether, 8s claimed the Speakor, b0 becamo 8o on o count of a Commilice disappointment or for other ressons is_not known, but he firmly believes that the Speaker is not what he ought to be, and his fall ia not far distant. His remarks, thereforo, very unjustly, were framed to make points against Mr. Blaine. Among his pungent remarks’ was ono in which he_charged that the House of Representatives was like an auction-room, where more valuable considera- tions had been disposed of under the Speaker's bammer than in any other placé on earth. "This was wormwood to the Speaker. Mr. Stovenson also said *hat he was not surprised that the Committee in casiing their net had caught more - leviathans “than they conld Iand: In another reference to Blaine he gaid that tho House wasnot o court ; that, if it was, one of the persons cherr¢ ~ with the particular offense ‘would not be al'“s +1 fo frame’ the indictment and to choose tie ;ion Who should select the jury. This was uirderatood to hava reference to the Spealier, who, it will boTemembered,.offered the resolution of " investigation, and appointed Bir. Cox to the chair, who selested the Poland Committee. If Stevenson were a little less ex- citablg in his !g::fhe& he would stand higher in the Honge than at present. Mr. -Whitthorne, of Tennessee, Who was Brigadier-Gener- | 1n tho rebel army, followed in a savage mseault on all thoso interested in the Credit Mobilier job. Hehad divested himself of collar and necktie, and rnshed in regardlees of consoquences, His speech has much of the true sentiment, and he scouted the idea that these members of Congress wers bribed without knowing it. Thus far, Samucl Hooper haa es- capod with little consure, but the Tennessco member handled him -vory roughly, charging that tho firm of Samuel Hooper & 'Co. was prac- tically responsible for the bribery, as that - firm signed the order authorizing the issue of the stock to Oakes Ames. Alr. Hooper read & news- paper and assumed. to pay mno attenton to the - remsrks, except for an instant, when he _ snd awes looked ab each other, and appoared to talk about some- thing amusing. The speaker showed his readi- ness to vote for the expulsion of all. Niblack was the next member totake the floor. Hin speech was not remarkable. It wasa fair legal argument in favor of the Committes’s report and nnawarjng Bome of the remarks pre- viously made, By tho time he had finishod, it 'was evident the interest in the Credit Mobilier transaction was dying out, and everybody showed the evidence of fatigue over 's subject that has been uppermost in the notice of tho public for the past three or four months. Many occu- Elullu in the gallery went away, and the mem- ors began to retire to the cloak-rooms or clse- where, to avoid the prolonged discussion, so that when Binghsm bogan his speech he had s smaller audience than Beck. “The delicacy of this gentleman speaking at all was universally discuss inasmuch 88 he is a party implicated. Ho always rivets the attention of an audience, and to-dsy was not an oxcoption. Ho argued that -the conduct of the anthority of the presont Con ahigh compliment to Mr. Merrick, of Maryland, and thus to himself. Ho 'attacked the press, andalmost in the noxt_breath presented ns a precedent tho case of John Wilkes, apparently forgetting that John Wilkes' offense wae uncor i icati ing corruption, while cage. Mallory, of Tenneasee, mado & g’god point in calling attention to the fact that Bingham had opposed the admisaion of members in the House, because of their previons acts in fighting sgainst the Government in the rebel army. Conkling, Carpenter, Logan, and other Sen- ators were among the attentive listemers of Judge Bingham. = : Gen. Banks, at a little after 2 o'clock, was accorded tho floor, being the fifth member of the Poland Committes who had been permitted to give the views of the Committee. He showed more carnestness and animation than usual, snd it was evident he was decply concerned in the matter before tho House. His speech was in opposition to the spperent tendency toward turning over he - power of the Government in its _logislative capucity to the great corporations. Ho thought the House was daily becoming more the repre- sentative power of rich corporations than of the Isboring people, and he thought this was mis- chiovous and wrong. His bearings seemed to favor the Labor Union movement. After Halo, of Maine, had called sttention to certain inaccuracies in the speech of Mr. Steven- Bon in regard to tho votes of Blaine upon the Washburno resolution of 1868, the Houso took rocoss until half-past 7, although Stevenson was on the floor suxious to reply to Hale. The sensation of the evening session was tho speech of Gen. Butler. He Lad a magnificent sudience. Few members of the House were absent. Benators, Cabinet officers, and Forei, Ministers occupiod seata on the floor, and in the galleries, - crowded beyond description, were Bundreds of peoplo prominent ‘in political and social circles. "Butler spoke for ‘mearly two ‘hours, and probubl noger made a better speoch in his life. It would ndt stand the test of cool criticism. It was full‘of cunning sophis- tries. It evaded ugly’ points in the proof nsn;;;ut Ollac: Axnest.h Itb nn;:eal:d to projudice and sympathy by turns, ERthie than o reason, but it was just the kind of speech to captivaté & great popular sudienco. Everybody hung intently upon his words, He ‘made his hearers shout with langhter, and ho bronght tears from his own eyes and from his client’s, if from no one's else. Ho praised Oakes Ames 25 a model of an. Mnese&nimu ‘man, nd,—a whose word was as good as his -a man of whom Massachusetts was proud. - * He is an hon- est man” he said, “an old man a patriolic man, a truthful man, and "we are to expel, _him becauso we are calumniated by honeaty, truth, and patriot- ism.” He denied that there was any money in Ames’ gales of stock to members, t troub- - led the public conscience was not the Credit Mo- Dbilier stock, but the lies that liad been told about it, and because there was one truthful man the ouse wanted to get rid of him. He denied the right of the House to expel a member except for disorderly conduct, or for insanity, or infections that endangered others, snd claimed that all the precedents were against the power of expulsion for crime. His argument was in substanco that there was no offense on the part of Ames, sud that, if there had been, there was no jurisdiction to punish him.” It was the clamor of the press that had clonded men’s jndgments. He de- nounced the press as s damnable engino_of ‘slander and lies. In his braggart way he snid: I am the man that God made, and not tho newspapers.” Then, looking up at the reporters’ fi;flary, he said that the origin of tho Credit obilier glanders was the theft of the papers in publican’ party. His was' a suit by B .reporter, who gold them to a newspaper. ‘' Expel that man - from your profession, bsforo yon attempt to teach us morals,” ho exclaimod, sddressing tho roporters. He came back at the end of his speech o eulo- giza Ames again, and to challenge any member 0 ey that he did not believe him honest, and to declare that expulsion could not disgrace him. Then he devoted ten minutes to a defense of Brooks, rather for the purpose’ of _point- ing' out some in: es” and absurdi- ties in the Committee’'s report concerning hir), than from” sympathy with- Brooks. But- ler's spoech has, ‘no doubt, strengthened many members of weak' resolution, who have wanted all along to voto against expelling any one, and have waited fora leader to them with n-gumentn and courage for such a course. hellabarger followed Butler with s strong ar- gmnen\‘. in support of the power of expulsion for bad character in cases where the conditions of the election - did not show that the constitnency had tho knowledge of the nominal acts, and_had pased a verdict on the Representative's character; by electing him. In answer (o aquestion by Batler, he said it was not Oakes Ames’ caso alone. That was untrue, The American couscience and character were in peril. i J. M. Wilson, Chairman of the Wilson Inves- tigating Committee, attacked Butler's doctrino of the waut of jurisdiction of the House in a case like Ames.” Tho rest of the evening session was parcelled out in small installments to mem- bers, who generally read - part of thefr remarks and got loave to print the rost. The Houso thinned out rapidly after 10 o'clock. The weary members, exhausted by repeated nignt sessions, straggled off home in 8quads, until at 11 there was not a quornm left. = - Poland, after consultation with his colleagues on the Committee, determined to close the de- bate, and gove notice that he wonld move tho Eenpua question the first thing in the morning. e will then be entitled to an hour to make his closing Bg_cedx- At about midnight the House adjourne 3 THE MORMOX QUESTION. The recoption which Frelinhuysen's Mormon bill met with in the Senate to-dsy indicates the restiveness which this body feals 2t the inter- fereuce of the Preaident with the legitimate course of legislation. The strongest objections to any hasty or ill-considersd lszfishtiun ‘on this subject camo from Senators Yorton, Sherman, Carpenter, and Nye. They took the conservative ground that no cruel or aggressive policy shonld be inaugurated, and that legislation shonld be preventive as to the future, rather than punitive for the past. Thae bitl was 20 ameaded as to pro- tect the jury eystem from being thrown entirely inthe hands of the officers of the Federal Courts, by substituting the Surveyor-General of the Ter- ritory in place of the United States District Judge as one of the Commissioners to select jl;xom: and also nfluwing(f.he General Aesembly o Utah to sppoint o Commissioners to #id in their selection.

The second contest arose over tlie proposition of Senator Sherman to allow the right of sppeal to the Bupreme Court in criminal. cases.

This lat- ter road is now. in process of con- struction, and the resolution to prohibit a0y money or lands from_being given to it by the Government ia based on certain sensa- tionaland fraudulent developments, which have recently come to light, and .which’ havo been Placed in the possession of Benator Edmunds, S CALDWELL. G It ‘is given. out that the Caldwell case will be taken up in tho execntive session of the Senate after the 4th of March noxt.- The present re- port will have to berecommitted to the new Com- mittée on Privileges and Elections, which will be reorganized aftor tho prosent session expires. The terms of two of tho members of this Com- mittee, Trumbull and Hill, who signed the ro- port for expulsion, expire with the present Con. gresa. To offset this gain for Caldwell, ho will lose the votes of such important friends as Nye, Harlan, Pomeroy, Sswyer, Spencer, Corbett, Pools; and Patterson, all of whosq terms will come to an end on the 4th of March next. Caldwell professes to be very anxious to have his case disposed of it the forthcoming ox-~ tra session, but it is the impression that it will 0 over until next winter, if it is ever reslly rought to a vote. - : - The long- CLAYTON. ted report in the case of Sena- tor Clayton made 1ts appearance to-day. Judge Wright submitted it with the statement that a minority report would bo forthcoming in o few days from Senator Norwood, the third member of the Committee. ' The minority report pro- vides for the complete exoneration of Clayton. Norwood's report will take the ground that the evidence is of euch a character 03 to show that o roal sentiment of tho poopla was defeated when Clayton was elected, and will conclude with & resolution recommending .that Clayton's geat be declared vacant. CREDIT MOBILIER. Tho statements with regard to the recommen- dations in the forthcoming report of the Senata Gredit Mobilier Committee are_entirely prema- ture. Benator Morrill, the _Chai of the Committoe, is engaged now in drafting the re- gort, and ill not bo resdy to aubmit it to his ommitteo until Fridsy next. Bo far s any recommendations relating to Senators Harlan and Patterson are concerned, they will be decided upon only by the Committes in full session. JUDIOAL.

BURIED UNDER A MOUNTAIN OF BUSINESS. The Credit Mobilier dobate is destructive of Iegislative busincss in the House, aud the mem- bers begin to talk of the probability of an extra session. Noarly the whole of to-morrow will, probably, be occupied by roll-calls on varions propositions for tho dispasal of the Poland Com- mitttee's report. There will then remain the Wilson Committee's roport, with their impor- tant il to compel the restitution of the unlaw- ful profits made out of the Crodit Mobilier con- tracts ; the Judiciary Committee’s report on the impeachment of Colfax ; the Deficiency Appro- priation bill, which is full of matter for vwrangles, the amendments to the Legislative appropriation bills, with tho salary question to be again testod by '8 yea and nay vote, and half & dozen important conference reports, and what- ever bills may result from tho Mormon question in the Senate, and all this business is of impera- tive importance. Besides, the Speaker's table is burdened with Senate bills; every ome of which has friends, who will clamor for its con- sideration. Nothing but s determination to work hard and talk little will enable the House to get throngh with the necessary work by Tnes- day next. {To the Associated Press.) NOMINATIONS.
