Mrwavxes, April 10.—The Milwackeean at Bomeisa ure well worth studying—not that e differs particularly from individual epecimons of tho genus homo found "in other parts of the coqutry, but becsase he has 80 many character- iatics in common with others of his kind,—pos- seaxing the same ‘passions and emotions, aod loving. and hating, sod striving like the rest. existence does not seem to differ much ‘under any circumstances, and lifo is msde up of » similsr round of duties, stroggles, and disap- | ‘pointments, whether ane breathes the chilly air | of Greenland or the more balmy atmosphere of the tropica. A Milwaokeean differs froma Chica- gosn only in dogree. The lattor, whenhe is | pitched npon'the key of wickedness, sings the tune | through all its octsves with a boldness and dash i that quite surprises his moremodest neighbor. As | Chicago is the wickedest city in tho world, it is | astural that her citizens should desire to have tha morsl code amended, and the ten command- ments suspended oceasionally to enit the exi- (encies that are constantly arising. Yonr Coll- | yer thinks ho sees, or hears omething good in the music of the lager-beer saloons on Sun- duy ; and David Swing tosses uneasily on John Calvin’s Procrratean bedstead of total depravity a0d endless punishment. Collyer is menifestly | zight in sayirg that musio is not one of the | fallen angels; but lsger-beor set to music is & lilwsukee devico for Sundsy enjoyment, of which we claim to be the inventors and sole Pproprietors. For this purpose wo bave zardens many, and parks wonumerakle. We have them on the lzke, on the mver, in each ward, and in the suburbs. They have mnot yot been established in the cemeteries, which is & deprivation thatis notto be endared much lorger in silence under this free snd enlightened Government.

Of course, in & trial of this sort, your Mr. Moody, who is just now baving such & pentecostal season in Loondon, must be ruled out, as Mrs. Vau Cott is not s Milwaukes pro- duction, and we caanot jastly clsim any share er popularity. Berioual, 7, there have been thrce nofable events in the religious history of Milwankos during the present year, csch, one of wiach is highly important 2o the society directly interested; and all the circumstances combingd will be likely to have s Yotent influsnce upon the future of these con- gregations.

The business-men of Chicago, | ‘whose homes aro in the country, must certainly appreciate thobeautios of Nature, which can only be enjoyed outeide the busy city.

Miss Curtis misspelied the word ** burr,” which was spelt correctly by the Rev. gentlomsn, who was awarded the ! prize, being $5; this amount was donated by nim to the ** High School™ for the benefit of | the library.

The residents of the suburbs had their un- pleasant season while the snow was on the ground, and now are having the commencement of that penod when it is infinitely preferable to be in the country than in the city. During the the past week Dame Nature cast aside hor win- | ter garb and agsumed the mantle of spring, the | birds have commenced singing in the trecs, and | new life is everywhero apparent. 5 On Mondsy evening a political mesting was held for the parpose of taking united action at the town election an Tuesday. The (uestion for the people of the Town of Lake View to decide was whether they would aliow tho liquor interest 0 encroach upom their . just rights. Of tho eighty-five votea to which this village is |entitled, it iz said that sovonty-two wers cast against tho “beer ticket.” If any one should ask how it was fhat we conld elect such a ticket as the one put io nomination, we would znswer that the best citizens go to tha polis and work with ;gua.l, if not superior, energy to that displayed by tho “boerites”, ergo, success perched on their bannors.

Popo gives particulars of a revoit at that Agenoy on April 6. While the gnards were attompting to iron one of the Stone Calf Indians, the pris- oner broke away. The guards fired, and hit him. This provoked seversl shots from the camp of the hostile Choyennes, causing great consternstion. The hostile Indiang, men, wom- en, and children, fled to the Sand Hills. The friendly Indisns stood trune. Capt. Rafferty, in command of sixty cavalryman, was sent in pur- suit of the fugitives. He waa reinforced by Gen. Neill with three compavies. Owing to thedeptn of the sand, the troops had to dismount and charge on foot. The Indians hold their position in the hills until night, aud then retreated uader cover of darkness. The troops was ropulsed three times, with a loss of six mortally and ten slightly wounded. Gen.

Spectal Dispatzh o Tha Cincago Tribune, SeRINGyIELD, April 10.—~On the opening of the Houso this morning Connolly, of Coles, read the following protest of the Boputlican members of, the Houss. The protest began by recitiug the action of the Speaker on March 23, in permitting Senate bill 264, to repeal the Registry law, to ba taken up out of its order and advanced to & third reading * withont a suspension of the rules of the Houso, and sgainst the open, clearly-expressed, and well-understood objection of Mr. Crawford, of Winnebago, and at least twenty other mem- bers of themiinority of the House.” Afterstating the facts of Bpeaker Haines' ontrageous conduct in that instauce, the protest after com- menting pungently upon the lawlessness of tha m\%:.flty, led by the Bpeaker, in overriding the rights of the minority, 8o as to make nugatory the representation secured to them by the State Constitution and the rules of the House, went on to state that this wasbat one of o Jong series of similar acts. It was instanced that on Jan. 15, Alr. Landrigan, of Edwards, offered a resolu- tion that certain persons named therein should bo officers of the House. The question being on the adoption, Mr. Starr, a Republican, called for a division of the question, 8o that each officer might bs voted on separately. Notwithstanding . the fact that his attention was called to Rule 36, which provides that “*any memter may call for s division of the question whon divisible,” the Speaker raled the demand out of order. In n few dave after a gumilar resolution wss ‘offered, and a demand for a division of the question was refused untul tho Speaker saw that enough from tho majority were voting sgainst it on acconnt of ona ob- jectionable person named in it to defeat the resolution. Whereupon, against the objections and protesta of the majoricy gide, he compelled the - Clerk to stop the roll call, tore the resolution into separate pieces, according to its proper division, and thon compelled the House to voie upon esch candidate separately, * thus violating one of the best-settled rules of Parliamentary law, by stop- ping & roll-call while in progress, of his motion, and against the protest of many mem- berg, and fioally doing st the instance of a single member of tho majority wide what he had just declined to do, on the domand of many membors of the minority side.” Another instance was then cited in which the Bpeaker, in violation of & plain rule, refused to entartain a motion 10 recopsmder the vote by which a resolution was inadvertently passed giv- ing the Speaker a clerk at $6 a day. &n protest then wens on: But {rom the accumulation of indignities that haye boen heaped upon the munority in the House, we cite which we are persuaded ia without tory of any other. legislative body that ever sssembled {n this State, and’ waich we ehall fail to properly characterize within ths lmita of that ul langusge in which this paper must nccessarily be couched, for the in on which we feel when reflocting mpon the wrong don to us 53 Representatives and to tho great State of Illinols, a wrong culminating in on attempted fraua upon the Senats of the United States, and iu an nsult £o one of our Senstors in Congress, that indignation s 10t permitted to find foll expression bere, but we are forced to confine ourselves to & pisin narration of the Ou tho 27th of January a series of joint-resolutions, four in number, known as the Louisiana resolations, wers introduced by & member of the majority znd & vote by yeas and nays taken upon each of thess reso- lutions separutely, When the fourth resolation, cen- suring the President fGx the use of the military forcus of the United Stutes in Louisigns, was voted on, the Speaker anuounced the resnit as being 3 f aguiast, and that theresolution was carried. On the reading of the journal next morning, the Yote as recorded, was foand to be7l for, and 68 against, When the journal waa read, Mr. French, of Carroll, stated to the House that hs had voted * No” on tho resolution, but his name was recorded ** Aye,” and he asked to have the journal corrected. This cor- roction was made, and thien the vota 100 70 for, and Bwimk ‘Then 3Mr, Dunlap, of Cook, arose and L that he had voted *‘No ™ and was recorded as voting “ Aye,” and ssked to lLave that correction made. If this correction had been made, tho vote ‘would stand 6% for, and 70 it, and the resolution would be lost. Bat the majority on the afternoon be- fore, by & viva voce, had ordered the Clerk of the House to_telegraph the four resolutions to Ssnalar informing him that they had pessed the House, and instrocting him to lay them before the Benate of the United States, but if this further correction af the journal was mads, by recordmg r. Dunlap's vole Lorrectly, i would prove that the telegram was & false- hood, and stubborn resistance was therefore made by {he majority to having Mr. Dunlsp’s vote correctly re- corded;and tinally the majority referred the journal and the question of corzeotly recording Mr. Dunlap's vots to & welect committes of thewr own choosing. In s few ‘minutes after this it was discov that Alr, Moses, of Scott, who had voted ** No” on the fourth resolu- tioo, was recorded ss not voting at all. Mr, Mosea thercforo moved to correct the journal by Laving his pame recorded * No,” a8 he had voted. “Tais would 1make the vote 69 for and 71 sgainst, defesting tho resolution by two votes, but the mujority refused to -permlt the journal to e corrocted, sud roferred Mr. ‘Moses’ motion to correct to the samae spceial committes that Mr. Dunlap’s was sent to. The protest then made citations from a num- ber of authorities demonstrativg the right of members to correct the record o s to place themselves properly before it, aud then statod that the majority of the Committee reported against permitting the correotion. The protest concladed as follows: i When such means cre resorted to to overcoms the minority and attain partison ends; when the aimplost dictates of justiceand the plaineat principles of parlis~ ‘mentary lnw are thus lost &igat of ; When members of the minority are thus refasod the privilego—aye, the right—of having thair voies recorded as they gavo thens; when we ars compelled o quistly sit by and seo our oficial zcts falxifiod, and the official record of the peo- ple's representative goa duwn to the futmre Learing » lie upon their fuce; and when e havo cub &ers for weeks and months under the almont daily in- Sliction of wrongs similar to those enumerated, vainly hoping from day to day that thoe Lght of justice would finally break the clouds of partissn passion that seem to envelopo the House, und bring to by soma Telief, i3 1t to be wondered at that w3 find UUrsoles at Just cumpellsd o rosort to this, tho ouly meand left us under tbe Constitution of oux State, 0 protest sgainsh ihe wrongs which we aro powerleus to preveat.

DEPATE OX THE PROTEST. 3r. Connolly moved that the protost be enter- ed npon the journal. 8 ‘Haines resd from tho Coostitution relative to the right of any two members to have their pro- test against any sct or resoluiton. The lznguage of the Constitution was l.ln:d tho protest must bo io respoctful langusge, sud against an actor resolution. The question must be docided whether this was such s docament befcre it oould be entered on the journals. CERTAIN TZRMS OBJECTED TO. Mr. Commiogs took the floor and exid that while he was in favor of according every membec his full rights, ho dssired also that every mom- ber be troated with due courtesy. - He objected to the protest because it wasnot in courtsous Ianguage. It contained the term ‘‘brate forcs,” applied to the majority. He would now ssk tho gonilemn from Goles (Connolly) if ha applied ¢ language to him (Cummings). Mr. Connoliy—The gentlemzn, I think, mis- understands the hh;igmo. ‘The words **brato forca" are not applied to members, but are used in illustration of what wonld mgt from a Gov- nmm;;:f. in which the is disre- Cummings fartber objected that the word “lie” occarrsd in the protest. He womld ask m it the gentlaman (Connolly) applied to bim Connolly—When I do—when thare is eccasion for mi o8&y so—1 shall be i stieh phinse thad *| lations were not protested 3, have done what I have not yet done. Cummings—Then I move that both terms bs expunged from the document. The one was used s an illustrasion only; the othor has been retracted. Cummings then sent to the Clerk’s dedk and had read au_afidavit of Clerk Crowley, seiting forth that Dunlsp did vote sye on the fourth Louisiana resolution. Jones—We have a half-dozen men right here Who can swear he voted no. THE CLERE TAKES A HAND. nefifi’k Crowley—Thero are a dozen hers who Connolly—T ask that the Speaker instract the Clerk that he ia not to reply to members on tho floor when they address themselves to tha Speak- "Igr'h the ‘dHZ'EB. aines said he had not heard th complained of. SLIEERe Continuing, Cummings derided the minarity, which had for so long quietly endured such cnormous griovances a5 those thoy complained of, aod had still had such good times at their social conclaves at might. The facts alleged wers not facts; the protest was mots protort, but an electioneering document, in which those siguing it sought to cover up their tracks in ‘opposing the repeal of the Registry act which s ;number of them camo Eers boro instructed to repeal, and which the people wanted repealsd. . HERRINGTON ON HIS FEET. Herrington followed in a speech, in which he #aid the protest was no protest against an act or resolution of the House. The Louisiaua reso- c gainst ; they wers not discussed ; those protesting Lad not dared protest aganst those resoluuons. They con- tradicted tho journal. But overy member hea ¢! tacitly approved that journal A member (sotto voce)—** That's a lie.” Herrington cootinued, challevging a protest against any act or resolution of the House. If thers was a;{ that was indefensible, why wasit not protested against. All thers was of this document was & rebeaisal or the littie troubles into which that side of the House had got them- selves, aod then hadn’t the coursge nor the Lraine to get themselves ontof, and it was s 1ast dying kick at the Speaker and the majority. A FEW PLAIN FACTS. _ Connolly said it was strange that so simple a right as that of entering their protest should be denied. Objection had been made to the language of the protest, that it was disrespectful. Yet on the tloor of this House, only s few days since, the mem- ber from Kane had characterized another as un- worthy the resvect of any member, 2s a villian, to keap quiet. Tho House was adjourned, scd “‘c:f:m -uurk ke TrE TRIBUSE correspe: nolly sprane on N nd- ent’s du! =od advised the Republican mem- bars to let matters go as they were. This dis- graceful proceeding _ wor oaly an- other to be added to the long Lst of outrages visited upon tho winority, for the reasonsof which they must look to the paople. Taey wern in the minority in this House, and mnst submit to mers brats force rather than forge: whas was dus to theie own dignity. Claflin—We wilt bat noz before. Counolly—\We are driven out. We cxn legally do no more. [Cries of **No, no; lot us stand by our rights "] ¥ Connolty—Will not this sids of the Houss go home now, leaving this matter as it is, sud take it up and finish 1c on Monday? [Cries of “Yes, we will!"} ‘Haines still eat in the Sveaker’s chair with his hat pulled over his brows, aad the Opposition body-guard stationed reund him, when Jozes, of Jo Daviess, spraog upon the Clerk’s desk and eaid : ** Thers is 8 misapprehension here. Ido oot contsmplato sttempting now to take the chair, and I want to add further that I regret in my excitement throwing the book at Mr. Pl I was wrong, ard have =&pologized to bi and he is satisfied. I.now apolcgize to the House, and want it formven.” Thers were cheers and appiause from both gides, -and with tois terminated the culminazing disgiace of the ses- sion. g0 whenwearo dnven out, —_— SENATE. CLOSING UP ACCOUNTS, The Senate did very little o-day, bavirg clean- ed up and balsnced the books yeatarday. A petition from the deat mutes of Chicago, ‘praying the passage of a bill to provide s deaf- mute school in that city, was tabled, thero being no such bil! pending. The Honse regolution providing for the ap- pointment of & swamp-land agent for this State was covcurred in., This sgent Is fo serme withont r ™l in the Iaw of Congress, oHith o r:quhu the swamp-land scrip to be laid in the State to which it is assigned, 8o that the owners of such scrip may Iny it upon any of the public lands of the TUnited States. Senator Haines reported back his Baoking bill, —Sepate bill 237,—with the unanimous recom- mendation thas it do pess; and, as it ambodied and had apphied to him all the epithets he could think of in his heat. Was that langusge re- spectful, u;i the ianguage of this protest disre- wpectfal? 7 . In conclusion, Connolly admonished members that thia House could not suppress this recital of the wronga perpetiated here. It wonid go forth to the people of the State—thoss who mado and uomade legislators; ic would be read from one end of tbe State to the other. The people would pronounce their verdict upon it, aod with that he and his colleagues would be content. THREATESING DEMONSTATION. At the conclusion of Connolly's epeech, Lan- drigan, very pale and trembling with rage, moved toward Conoolly's desk, and said that he un~ derstood him (Connolly) to say that the geoile- men from Eane, the other day, had spplied to him the epitbet villsin. He (Landrigan) had not #0 underminod the gentloman from Kade (Her rington), and wanted now to ask that gentlaman if he had used such language. Conunolly said he kad not undertaken o guota the langusge of Herrington ; couldn't it he tried. But thet did not satisfy Laodrigan. He insistad on sn answer from Herrizgton. Haines undertook torestore order, but Landri- g80 gave notice that he was able to defend him- self, and that he should do so, and that tao Chizir e¥cx chould not deny bim that right. He wanted this master disposed of nos. Hames—Does the gentleman from Edwards seck & controversy with the Chair? Landrigan—No, but I want this matter settled now. 5 Finally Horington coolly advanced to within & fow atops of Landrigan and said : “?Wlut you say is not meant fo intimidnto me?” Laodrigan—No. Herrivgton—* Well, then, as there is no at- tempt a: intimidation, I will say I did not use that term,” and with that ended the prospect of 2 lively acrimmage, and more discussion of Con- nolly's molion for ‘entering the protest on the 1ecord was resumed. After further debate, 3 motion o> adjourn to 3 o'clock was made, whereupon a majority of the Opposition members bolted. While the bolt was in progress & motion to adjourn was made and lost. The ayes and noea disclosed that there was no quorum. Acall of the House was moved, and the ayes and noes being takeu, the call was sustained by 47 to & THE WILDEST CONFUSION now prevailed, smidst whica Cammings moved o ndjourn. Clatlin made o point of order that a motion to adjourn was ot in order, and insisted upon the 1 of the House being proceeded with. Haues paid no demaad to Clatlin’s demand, saying the House was beyond anybody's control, or something to that effect. A motion was made directing the Speaker to order the Clerk to proceed with the call ot the Hocse, Clatlin on his feet prosesting, while tho uproar was, if possible, redoubled. Hazines re- licd that the Speaker had no coutrol over the lerk. The motion was renewed, and Haines said : * Very well, it is to amend the rules, and under the rules must lie over.” Jcnes, of Jo Daviess, rose to a point of order, when Elater. who bad been uncommonl; ob- atroperous sil the morniug, interrupted, wnereon Jones. who daring his speech on the protast had been badgered coutinugily by Plater, BEIZED AN AUTOGRAPH ALBUM and hurled it at Plater. Plater flung it back st Jones’ head, and theu seized a tumbler from off his desk, and was abont to throw that at Jonos' hezd, when Merrist grabbed him s0d flung the tumbler into the aisle. Amidat the indescribable din, Haines put Cummings’ mction, Yiva yoos, and, though the noes plainly preponderated, de- clarod the Houss adjourned, put on his hat, &nd left the chair. A YIGHT FOR THE SPEAXER'S CHATR. Connolly rose and moved that Joues, of Jo ‘Daviess County, be elected Speaker pro tem, put the motion, and declarea it carried. Jones started towards the chair. Yells of * Protect the chair,” rose from tho opposition, aad there was a rush pell-moll for the Speaker's seat. Cummings was first to reach the rostrum, and plamped nto the Spoaker's chair. Hoosn, who reached the desk immodiately after, seized » hoge baso-ball club that in the marning’s tom- foolery had been passed to Haines, and laid bohind ' tho chair. AU tho fight- ing eloment of the opposition "arowded around Cummingz, sad the broad-shoulderad element of the Republicans wished to defend Jones, botween whom and the chair O'Hair plantad himself, shaling his fist in Jones’ face, DARED HIM TO COME OX. At this juncture reinforcements poured in for buth sides, aod Springfeld roughs also crowded within the bar. O'Hair was shaking his fist at Jones ; Houan, with firm grip on the base-ball club, said ** Let bim come on; ho won't sit in that cheir.” A minate, and every body was waiting for the first blow to be struck which was to precipitate s bloody affray, when some of Jonew' frienda seized Lim, stopping him on roatrom steps. Aleanwhile TIE POLICE, ‘who had been sent for by Haines, arrived, and the crowd in the gallery yelled * Shame!” and hissed, which bad the effeot in some little da- gree to recall the cooler-headed members of both sides to tho consciousness of the disgraceful sit- nation. Cummings relinguished the seat, and Herrington, who ad done most to hold back the figting Democrats, and _to whose presence of mind i no small degres is due the fact that bloodshed did not occar, bimself tool the ohair. O’Hair, Honan, and others of the broad-shon!- dered, gathered round waiting* for the fightto began. Haines returnod to the rostrum, and, hat and overcoat on, cesayed to speak to the mob. I WAS ONLY A MOB NOW, and of the most disgracefal sort, crowding round the rostrum and standing on tho desks of report- ers and clerks. Finally, ho succeeded in making humself Leard, and said: * Will not gentlomen remember themselves_aod pat a ztop to these disgracofal scenes ? Let us havo order. Mr. Mann, of Cook—Will Mr. Haineslet us have thq call of the House? [Yellsof ““Yes, wo want the roll of the House!” * Take tho Chair!’ *+Order 1" “The call!” ** We ill proceed I” aad shouts of * Ar.
