The Expulsion of Senator Patter- son Recommended. Interesting Debate in the Sen- ate on the Louisiana Muddle. An Extra Session of Congress Now Seems Inevitable. Scenes and Incidents in the Capitol Yesterday, Bpecial Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. AMES AND BEOOKS CENSURED. WasmyaToN, D. C., Feb. 27.—The Credit Mobilier proceedings in the House to-day, al- though of a more important and striking charac- terthan thoso of yosterdsy, didnot meem to have asmuch interest for the public, yet the ‘galleries were fairly full, and the sudience was a8 well dressed and as intelligent o one. The Iadies were not permitted on the floor, and the roles were understood to be very strictly. en- forced, but they werenot, and the order of the House was materially interfered with by the noisy crowd in rear of tho members' seats. The preliminaries were soon ovar, the journal being ehort, and the Chaplaina prayer unusually brief. He did not, however, neglect to ask the Lord, which was very appro- priste, by the way, to remember tho infirmities of man. Tho resolutions to expel Ames and Brooks came over from last night, and 1t was arranged that Poland should closo tho debste in an Lour's speoch, and that the voting shonld then begin. Ames was in 8 froot scat, with a large and handsome bouquet on his desk, a compliment from Mrs. Gon. Sherman. This makes three ne has recoived from distinguished ladies since bis speech. Brooks was early in his seat, where be remained until his caso had been dis- posed of, when he rcturnod to the cloak- room - for & rest. Bird, of New Jerse ‘was the first speaker, but his offort was an or« nary one. Ho favored the expulsion of all. Townsend, of New York, who has boen_here 80 fittlo eince his election 'to Congrass, that be is not known to half the officers of the Houec medo foeble speech, also, Fernando Woo ‘misquoted his references, and did not make any strong points. Potter and Speer also spoke, tho Intter making a creditablo argument. Bargent, of Californis, then presented a substitute for the Poland resolutions, and asked the reading. Tt is awkwardly drawn, and, in place of expul sion, it absolutely condemns the doings of Ames and Brooks. It was suggested, privately, by some ef the membors, that this was rather an’im- prudent action for & man who holds such a close Telationship with the Central Pacific Railroad. Poland then took the floor, and demanded the prorious question, and, atfer It was seconded, e began his hour's spcech. It wos not s euc- coes, and wos not listened to by members or visitors. The subject was becoming tiresome and the Chairman’s specch fell flat and insipid over ol the House. The fact was apparent the members had decided, each for himself, and didnot want any furthor discussion. In his speech, Poland wanted another half-hour, al- ougli o hed spoken, during tho two days, three bours on_the mf:{euh, but the House re- fused him,—sn upusual course. Such was the disintercst’ and disregrad os fo what be said, that Messra. Ames and Brooks did not listen A good deal of confasion followed, in which Farzgrroru, Btevonson, Tidridge, Holman, Pot- ter, Randall, and Maynard vainly'tried to obtain ihe Bpeaker's recoguition. Tarnsworth, to test the sense of the House, moved to loy tho whole subject on tko table. The Houso was extremely still during the taking of this vote. The motion was beaten by mora than two to ono—yeas 64; nmays, 159. Mr. Hooper, of Massachuseits, fo the surprise and indignation of tho Houso and galleries, had the effrontery to voto. The substituto of Sargent wasthen taken up, and = flood of questions of order, parliamentary inquiries, and appeals to the Chair, poured in. Bpeet, & Democrat from Pennsylvanis, hit e exact gituation,, when he inject- ed »_ remark, which was reslly out of order, to the effect that, if the Househad not jurisdiction to expel members for past of- fenses, it bad not the jurisdiction to censuro them. Nstwithatanding this remark, Speer voted in favor of censure. Beck voted against it for want_of jurisdiction. As the yess snd nays were being called on Snrgent’s substitute the scene became vory exciting, as it was known that if that should fail cxpuision was inevitabla. But it was early seen that the two-thirds neces- ary for expulsion did mnot exist. For a long time the vote was a tie, then then the .yeas would have it, and then tho nays, and when the name of Young was called, the lsst on the lish, it was doubtful ‘whether tho substitate was adopted or rojected. The vote was, yeas, 116 ; nays, 110, and it was carried. The ‘question was then put on the rosolntion of censuro of Mr. Ames. Tihis was assed by the extraordinary vote of 181 td 36, 3t Brogks voting loudly “No,” and Hoopet “No." The following Democrats voted ngainst the censure: Adams and Beck, of Ken- tucky; Brooks, of New York; ~Comingo, of Missonri; Connor, of Texss; EId ridge, of Wisconsin; Garrett, of Tennessea McHenry, of Kentucky; Sloss, of Alabama ; Yoorhees, of Indiana. ‘The vote for the censure of Brooks was nearly tho same in character, but smaller—yens, 174 ; naye, 82. An effort was then made to dispose of the whole subjoct by laying cn the table, but it was beaten, as it would have had the effect to take the question from the jurisdiction of the House. The Democrats, having thus disposed of the caso of Brooks, were no longer timid, and they at once began 8n OEETesEive wWar- fare. Wood was the first to start it, by the presentation of s resolution cen- suring Garfield, Kelley, Scofield, Bingham, Dawes, and Hooper. This was not received, for the reason that each member should stand on hisownmerits. Then followed the resolution of Speer, a colloague of Kelloy, censuring the lat- ter. Mhis raised an unlonked-for excitement. Keiley st onco roge to his feet, but hia friend and collesgue objected to his ag:ellung, fearing he would injure his cause. Subsequently, how- ever, he spoke for abont five minates to excel- Ient ge. Ho kept his self control, and, except that there was moro of the theatrical in his voice than ordinary, ho made a very oreditable effort. He did not speak too Littln, fior too much. A wrangle occntre;l after- warda, and, with an air of impatience, Speer de- manded a vote. Fifty members ran to him, im- ploring bim to defer, and be finally withdraw his demand. He then yielded fiftoen minuates of his time to Ben Batler. ‘In thospeech of the latter, Le but carried ont the smme line of purposo which he began & month 4go, which was to clear his client, Ames, aven by sacrifieing friendshirh ambitions, personal obligations, aud . thd recons ciling of " his Butler did not. like Dawes, whom he thonght might stand in the why of his ambition mn Afvasachusetts, He was opposed to Kelley; he did not like Col- fox; he had a cold side for Garfield, snd Bing- Lam was his ancient enemy; yet, for all that, in the aid of his client, ho consented to becoma the apologist for the Ccrimosof all of them. Ho demonstrated the truth of his words when he said, to-dny, Lo loathed, abhorred, nd hated the doctrive of purgation and purificatioh. Aftera five-minutes’ spcech by Mr. McCrary, of Iows, the Housé took a recess until 8 o'clock. The evening session of tho House was noisy, and without special interest. - Kelloy was oni- fitled to the floor on the resolution of Speer for his expulsion. Ho spoko ouly & quarter of an hour, and made a high-sounding appeal, with o shorf biography of his life, in which ho referred to his vears of penury, his lifo of toil, his mod- est manner of living, and the manner in which he ehould teach bhis children. Much of his specch was of a pattern with Lis statement Le- fore the Committee, and tho sound of his voico was pleasing to the' galleriés, bit it ¥as by no menns a utrong speech. _Dickey, Thad Stevens' successor, of course; spproved thé reso- lotion, and attacked Speery but . Lis speech ~was a failure, an it was evident his condition was such that his mind was not clear. Other brief speeches were made, but none were noticeable. Hawley, who is makicg himeclf very con- spicuous lately, offered a resolution to refer tho whole question back to the Poland Committeo for ional investigation. This put Dawes on his mettle, and ho made one of tho brightest, ‘most earnést, and_gntisfactory spoeches of tho doy. Heo said he did not want 3 t0 ad- Journ with charges hanging over or any momber's head. If thers were proofs against is the place for them. His ar) the -back of the Credit obilier inquiries, and, when he closed, the calummniation was at hand, and, on the motion of Maynacd, the resolution was laid on the table by 117 yens to 75 nays, Oakes Ames being the first mm to vote yea. ~After fhis, Job Bteveuson, who is getting to be a Little too irrepressible for comfort, offerad a resolution to censure Hooper, of Massachusetts, but only 76 voted with him. The samo 75 voted sgainst the resolution noxt introdaced by snfient, discharging. the Committee from the whole subject, thus bury- ing it forever. The vote in favor of the resoli- tion was 114, and thus at 10:20 o'clock the Credit Mobilier robbery was buried, so far a8 the Houss of Bepresentatives was concerned. LOUISIANA. The Benato to-day elected to order the consid- eration of tho Lonisiana question, regardless whether it wonld bo the meana of causing an ex- tra session or not. Senator Morton inangurated this imgioartlgt debate- by & short speech, adyo- cating his minority report in favor of continuinj the -Keuogi; Government. The speech whicl answered him came from Senator Carpenter. It has ofton been said that Carpenter was shman of inflnite possibilities, but that his indolence and general indifference would forever prevent his making his mark ae & Senator. To-day, his speech, whether for broad siatesmanship, logal scumen, or eloguence and.power, has never been equalled this session. t last, di- vesting himisel of all partisan predilection, the Wiscomsin Senator made such & raid on the Lou- isiana election returna as to carry conviction that there was no ealvation in that quarter, ex- cept to hold that there should be & now election. His speech lasted two hours, and from the bo— ginning to the end commanded universal atten- tion. Conkling attempted a reply, but it was far below the nsual ability. of that Senator. At o lato hour this evening, whilo .the discussion is still progressing, it is predicted on all sides that pu-Eenwx'a Frglpnsition ordering a new eleotion in the State will pass. - - POMEROY. Tho morning pspers have anuounced, with glaring head-lines, that Semator Pomeroy, through his next best friend, Page, of Indo- gendcnoe, Ken., had commenced snit against ork for the recovery of $7,000, alloged to_have been received by .tho latter on account of his voto, but which Pomeroy claims was simply a subscription to s National Bank; which is to be started in the town aforesaid. Simultaseously with this Ceclaration camo also the statement that Pomeroy was about to swear out & warrant against Simpson aud J. C. Horton for conspiracy and using unlawfal meana to defeat the eloction of the former to the United States Senate. - In- ?iry in.a responsiblo-quarter to-night shows that these proccedings are not slncere, but that thoy are only intended to influence the action of the Investigating Commiiteo, which is abont ‘making its repcrt. BENATOR PATTERSON. The report of the Morrill Credit Alobilier Committeo, recommending the expulsion of Senntor Patterson, burst upon the Senate, and upon the half-filled galleries, like thunder 'from aclear sky. The procesdings in the House, though of no more public importance than the Louisiana debato at the other end “of the Oapi- tol, were more ”?{""" in their character, and the audience in the Sonate was composed of the overflowings from the crowded House gallerics. Mr. Morton was gpesking at;about 10:30, sngon, urz hoving been interrupted by _Alr. with & quostion, Mr. Morrill, of mine, whose - fest s - mext to that of Morton, asked him privately to yield to him to make a report. ".The manuscript was sent 1o the Clerk's desk, and the order to print was made. Some Senator asked if the report was secompanied by a reeolution. Alorrill replied that it was. Ferry, of Michigan, who was in tho chair, directed the Clerk to read the resolution, but whilo he wys turning over the pages to fin it, Conkling and some other Senator asked Mor- ton in a tone loud enoughto be heard in the gullaries, to go on with his speech, but Morton asked the Clork to read the resolution, and waited fo:dib in the midst of a dead silence. Thse Clerk read: Resolved, That J. W, Patterson be,land he is herol erpetied Fom b dest i the Bemare ™ g4 3r. Morton went -on with his_spoech, but no one longer listened to him. The next instant the Senators, with solemn frces, were gatherod in knots of twos, threcs, and fours, all over the chiamber, evidently discussing this unexpected report. Patterson himself, wo, at the time the report was made, occupied Hamlin's seat, be- tween Conkling and Howe, bowed his head, snd for five or ten winutes was in conversation with Howe. He looked flushed and excited. Harlan went &t onee to the Clerk’s deek, and, for fiftcen or. twenty minutes, was carefully mndinitke Te] snd making notes from it. When he was e with it, Patterson, who had returned to his seat, sent for the re- %fl, and read it apparently with great care. eée examinations by the interested Senators prevented its examination by the representalives of the press until a late hour. the first fow minutes, the Senators who desired to talk over tho report retired to the cloak-room, the marble room, and the Senators' lobby, 80 that when, s few minutes before 11 oclock, far "less than & quorum were ' in their gents listening to the first set speach which Schurz has made this session. This report put an end to all hope of eatape from an extra sezsion of Congress. This resolution is a question of the highest priviloge, and, as Patterson’s term of ofico expires on Tuesday noxt, it cannot be postponed. Justice to Patterson demands that he have an oppor- tunity to be heard in his own defense, and he bas a right to have a vote on the resolution before tho expiration of this Congress makes it impossible for the stigma cast upon him by the roport ever to be wiped out. AN EXTRA HESSION VERY PRODADLE. p Daring the discussion in the House to-day it was stated by Mr. Sargent, a member of the Ap- propriation Committee, that an extra sesaion of Congress isinevitable. It is not improbablo that an amendment, convening the Forty-third Con- gress on the 10th of M will be added to one of the appropriation bills. There is s general belief in the House that it is physically impoasi- ble to get through with the business that is actu- ally indispensable in the days left of the present Congress. TUNION PACIFIC AND CREDIT MOEILIEB. The Wilson Committee will call up to-morrow the bill reported- by them a8 the result of their investigation into” the Union Pacific Railroad Company. Thers are slresdy hers to werk the passage of tho bill: Horace F. ..fi:lxnn Clark, the President of ‘the road; John Duff, the Vice-Preaident; Augustus Schell, and the Attorney of the Company, and otHers.

Messrs, SHERMAX and MORTON also urged imme- diate action upon the bill, and t was taken up. 3r. offered a substitute embodying his views in favor of forming u ture out of the legally elected members of both bodies now claiming to bo the Legialatare of Loulsiana, and suthorizing the new lature so formed to count_the returns of the last slction, and declaro who are. legally elected State of- cers, Mr. CARPENTER sddressed the Senste briefly in support of tho bill reported by the majority of the Committce, The views of the Commitiee, he said, were fully et forth in the majority report, and, a this Dill had been submitted to persors represcating all sides of the controversy, he supposed that, if such o Dill were to be passed at all, this ono would be satisfac- tory in ita details. He had just been handed by Mr, Mchillan, claiming to be Senator-elect from Louisiana, & telegram addressed to himself (McMilln) and Gov. Warmoth, which waa read at the deak, as follows : “NEWw OnLraxs, Feb 25,1873, . Wi L. Mefillan and Gov, H. Warmath - i ot true.that thie country parishes are rapldly acknowledging allegisnce to the Kellogg Government, The peopls in the country, like tho people in theclty, will never sield allegiance {0 that Government. It can never collect taxes, and it can only be maintained by forte. That force will have to be United States troops stationed in overy parish td enforcs the suthority of his government. His government can only bo sus- tatned by the actual conquest of the people, and that by 2 kind of forco which the peoplo would submit to rather than have militia.” . This dinpatch was signed by a large number of clti- zens, who, according to Mr. McMilla, are leading men in the country parishes, 3fr, MORTON suid it would be s vast national mis. fortune, and a great misfortune to Louisiana, that this bill ahould pase. A small fraction in that Stafe, having get up the ‘so-callod McEnery government withouta shadow of title under law, was mow endesvoring to stir up resistance to ment—the Kellogg government—resistanco must lead to strife and bloodshed.

Upon attempting to earry out this last procla- mation, they would be mere rioters, and on refusing to dispéree would be liable fobe shot.” Telegrams have been received from *Gov.

MORTON—I have nothing to s3y upon that question, I bave read the dispatches as they have been sent here; but there is one fact that we cannot overlook, that'since the reports were made from the Committes on Privileges and Elections, attempts have been made to create a dis- turtance and - resistance bring on a cil. war that * yesterdsy this attempt was made mot only by that pretended Legialature, but by that pretended Governor. It s mow a desperate attempt, on the part of o small faction, to pon the Btate Government of Louisians, Mr, THORMAN—May I ask the Senator (Morton) whether Iam right in supposing that the election returns that were made show that McEnery had 8 ma- Jority 2 Mr. MORTON—The returns have never been can- vassed by ony oficer or any official person. Two ‘peraons came before the Committee and said they had igone through them,—persons who had no more right to go through thom than two of these poges would Dhave,—and that the returns elected McEnery by some 5,000 votes. Mr, THORMAN—If that be the fact,—that the sotnrna show & majority for McEnery,—what docs the Senstor mean by calliag hus suppoiters & emall fac- jon Mr. MORTON—TI call his_supporters now who are trying to force him into power o small faction, The great body of those who voted for him are not now supporting him, but are standing and looking on. I believo the overwhelming majority of the people in Louisiana are to-day desiring that the Kellogg Govern- ‘ment sbould be sustained, including many who voted for tho oppoeition ticket. 5 Mz, SOHURZ said_that, sa wigx Mottin seemed so positivo that those who opi o Rellogg - ment were only a small fdction, he would ask him to ive the Senate some definite information on the sub- ect—tostate, for instance, whether the people of Louls- Laaa, or a largo majority of them, were now ‘paying taxes to the Keflogg Government. . MORTON—The evidence that the large majority of that people generally aro acquieacing in the Kellogg .Government in in the fact that they aro actually ‘mitting ; that there ia actusl pesce all over the State, and that up to this time no resistance has been offered 1o that government in ooy part of the State, Ar, SCHURZ—It is not only s passive submiasion that would bo the indication of support, and Ithink that sn active submission would go & grest deal fusther to show that they are really inclined to stand Dby the Kellegg Government, and in 1o way could it show itself better than by tho payment of taxes, Itis for that rescon that I put the ‘question whether the paying tazes to the Kellogg Government,—at the same time reminding him that Packard testified Lefore the Comumittee that if the peoplo of that State would pay taxes at ould rather psy to the McEnery Government the other, and Packard, being United States cannot be &u) 0 be on the McEnery side, r. MORTON—I{ Ihad time to read all that Mar- shal £aid, the Senator from Missouri (Schurz) wonld not have occaalon to ssy 8 word about his testi~ mony in regard to tho payment of taxes. This is not the ime for the collection of taxes, and it does not 1ake very much doubt upon the subject of suthority to collect tazes, or very much encoursgement to fuduce the peopls not to pay their tazes. This McEnery has issucd » proclamation calling upon his {rlends in Loutaiana to pay 1o taxes, and I believe that this is Dot the exact season for coll taxes there, but if we refuse toset aride the Kellogg Government, and give it our support, that government will go on and Collect tao taxes without any trouble. Ay, CARPENTER mado an elaborate ent eus- talning the majority report. Nobody could exaggerate the importance of this na question. Congress was called upon to exercise its guar- anteeing tothe Statea republican form of govern- ‘ment when tbe case demanded, would be just aagreat a’dercliction of duty as it would be to interfero unwarrantably with the State Government. He then reviewed in great detall the Ristory of both the so-called governments of Louiztsna, and came to the conclusions presented in the repart of the Committes on Privileges and Elections: that the McEnery Government rests on fraud, and tha Eeliogg on usurpation; and that it ia the dufy of Congress to set both azids and provide fors fair and free elec- tion, thus giving the State a real republican govern- ment resting on the will of the people. Ia the course of his vemarks, Mr, Carpenter drew the following to picture of Gov: Warmotl, of Lonfsiars, who oceupled teved 5 T teat n the Senste near Garpenter, while b pokb: . | Belloe s srperg aoajc?4 fnRocent, but thought “Thero s in the State of Louiriana, and for several | = At 11 o'clock to-dy's siaalon besaa, years has been, a most remarkuble young maD,—a | Mr, BARGENT offered an amendnient to the resola- C ey 0; ¢legant Jresence and fascinating mauners, 3 | yaone, reciting parlismentary doubls fn the cas0, and 0 0f very great acuteness and intellect, aad 8 man | o, 1emning the couduct of Ames and Brooks, of whom in general it may be said that his inteliectual capacity seems to have been developed far above his moralideas ; just such & man a8 wonld have risen to the surface {n the turbulent hours of the French revo- Intich { fust much & man us was made for revolutions ; snd; although comihy upon the Btate of the condition of comparative pesce; yet his genius for Tevolution has been 80 _great that x',c ‘s completely transformed the face of that State: He hmd mingled =nd commingled the powers of the Government, wtil 10 man can tell head or tail to any of them.

[Laughter.] Mr, Carpenter, in conclusion, argued that if Congress did ot order a new election, it was bound 1o recognize the 3« Government;as the less fraudulest of the two. .
