It is difficult to concelve that the asscmbled madmen of the natlon could havecreated n greater pandemonium. The controversy arose over a proposition made by the Democrats to amend the rulea so as to allow all the Comumit tees of Investigation to report at any time dur- Ing the present sessfon of Congress. This was intended purely for the partisan- advantage of the Democrats. It would, if adopted vs pro- posed, have cnabled the Democrats, on the Jost day of the scssion, to have presented st tho reports of the Inves- tigatiny Committecs not yet completed, and to have thereby practically defeated the right of the minority to present their views, ‘The controversy turned on a rullng of the Speaker which the most experienced parlla- mentarions of the House pronounced WITHOUT PRECKDENT AND UNJUSTIPIABLE on any princlpal of fairness. The Republicans were not willing that a proposition of so mean- 1y purtisan o chisracter should borushed through without conslderation, andaccordingly e notion for a different reference was made, but the Bpeaker perslsted In hifs rullng that it was not iu order to move to amend a motion for referencs, and fllibustering was commenced by an gppeal from the Speaker's ruling, Five long hours were spent in the intense heat of an August day, with the thermometer_about 95 in the hall, in flllbustering upon this subject. The result was, finally, that tho Republicans vractically 3 CARRIED THEIR FOINT by the adoption of a rule providing that tho Investigating Committecs shall bo authorized to report ut any time during tho present s slon, provided themajority “give notice to the minority to subinit their réport forty-eight hours before the time of the presentation of the re- port to tho House, so that tho reports of the majority and minority may go in together, As a practical question there §s very little pained by tho rute, aa it Is understood that, of the In- vestigating Comtmnittees which bave anything to report ot this scaslon, there is probably not one on which the minorlty would not linve been able to have made & report without this rule; but the House was {n n bad humor, the leat intensifled it, the Conference Cominlttces had not reed, and ft was thought that the time spent in fllibustering, and in the grotesqueries incidont to the threo calls ~ of the House, was Dbetter spent than it would have been by action under suspension of the rules, Throd calls of the House were mado necessary, beeause o quorum a(d not vote, The indications are that whatover may happen fn the way of Jegislation, unless the Democratie Jenders” haaten un adjustinent, the House will be found WITIOUT A QUORUN by the end of this weok, It will ho extremely dificult to hold o majority of tho Houso hers after that. One-third “of the members arg already obsent on Jeave, To-night fully twenty members asked leave of ab- sence for varlous reagons, but thelr requests in each easo were refused.

The timo for which the to mpomr{ approprintions were passed expires Augs 10, 1E Is suid that the President bas futimated his unwltlingness to sign any {u!m. resolution for tho further temporary ex- ensfon of_the apprapristions beyond that duy.

RANDALL'S STUDIORNKNESS, The Benate hns not fnsfsted so much on the principle of entting down salaries as it Jas op- Imaud the right of the Iousy to fmpose now egialation o the Appropriation I)Plls. They cotmmittees on tho part of the House have been, without doubt, wirensonablo fn_ their nctlon, which s duui 0o doubt, to Randall's unyiclding finnness, 1o Lins been o member of wll the commlttcos, and he by no means represents the Tiberal element of his party, [lia colleagnes in the louse are hccumlu;i, very fmpatleut at his conduct, and wien of both parties lave ap- pealed ~ to Bpeaker Hoyler to cleet a noro reasonablo cominitte, but he places him- se.![ on the usago fn such cascs and suys ho be- Heves ho represents the majorlty of Tis party in the Ifouse, This is somewhat doubtfuly and no doubt a fulr expression of the House wil bo hiad fn case the present conferencs falls, 1t Is suld by members of the conference that in half an hour after tho next meeting a declslon may ho reached, aud thut ugreement hitelies on oue polut, which {8 the salary of membdrs of Congress. 8ot 18 probablo that the Legisla- tive, Judielal, and Exceutlve b will by re- wuml to cuch House to-morraw, or that the Comulttee will report that un sgreemont, 18 fm- pussible. Ak ¢ MISSISSIPPI MISRULE, PACTS ELICITLD IY THE SENATOLIAL INVESTIOA- TIONH, Wasnixaros, I, €., ‘Aug. 7,—Tho majority af tho Benate Committee to fuvestigato Missls- aipp! affales asserts thut the testlmony takon fully supports the allegatlon that forco, fraud, and intimidation were used gonerally und pue- cessfully In the pulitical canvass of 1875, They find that Gov. Ames Is not amenable to any just chargo affecting his integrity or fitnessas o Chief Maglstrate. The Conmittes find that tho young men of the Btate, especlully those who reached manhiood during the Waur or who have arrived at that couditlon slnco the War, con- etitute tho nucleus and ma force of tho DANGEROUS ELEMENT, As far a8 the testimony taken by the Commit- teo throws any Mxht upon the subject, It tends, however, to cstublish the fact that the Demo- cratic organlzations, both in counties sud in the Btate, cucodraged tho young men fu their Pailp CHICAGO, TUESDAY, AUGUST 8 1876. course, accepted the politieal advantazes of their condact, and are in a large degree respon- sibie for the criminal resulta, Democratic clubs were organized in all parts of the State, and able-bodled members were also organtzed wen- erally into military companles, and furnfehed with'the beat nrms’that could be procured in the vountry, Members of theas organizations, the mnjority assort, are shown by the evidence to have traversed vurlous coun- tics for weeks before the clectlon menacing votera, lprovnklm: disturbance, or breaking up Republican mectings, causing the riots at Vicksburg and Clinton, and killing large number of unoffending persous throwsh- olit Lhe country, About half the white voters in Nepublican districta were thus organized, and by intimidation they compelled Republican nominations to be withdrawn {n sonme countics, und foreed the Republicans to vote for the Democratle ticket or deprived them of any op- purtuuity to yote otherivise, The ninjority also find that oivil suthorities have beew utiably to prevent thesc outraies or to punish offenders. ‘The Committee nesert that the Democratievictory i theState wasdueto the mmai;un perpetrated,” If there had been s free election the Republican candidates would have been chosen nud the character of the Leg- jatature so changed that there would have been Oflltgguhllmm\uw Demoerats in the House, and 20 Republicuns to 11 Democrats In the Sen- ate. Cousequently the present Legislature of Missiasipp! 18 NOT A LEOAL BODY, and {ta ncts not entitled to recognition by the ulitical departiyent of the Guvernment of the United States, although the Prestdent. mny, in liis discretion, Tecoguize it ns a Government, de Tacto for the preservation of public peace. The resignation of Gov. Ames was silected by n body of men calling themselves the Legislature of the State of Misalasippl, l?' micusures nuull- he thorized by law, aund is of rieht the Goveriior of that State. The evi- dence show further that the Btate of Mississippiis vt present under the contral of political “organizations, composed largely of armed men, whose comiion purposg hwnlc- prive the negroesof the free excrelse of the right of sulfrage, and to establish and malntuin the nn|lm-umcv of tho white line Detnocracy in vio- Iation ulike of the Constitutlon of tlielr own State und Constitutlon of the United States. ‘The r:.-ynn concludes as follows: The mem- ory of the Lloody cvents of the campaign o 1875, with the knowladge ~that their opponienta van _command an {nstunt pres- ence of organized bodtes of nrmed men at every voting-place, will deter the Republlcan purty from uny = weneral effort to regain the puwer wrested from them. These disorders exist also fu nelghboring States, and the spirlt and {deas which give rlse to disorders are cven more genersl, The power.of the Nationul Goy- crminent will be fnvoked, and honor and duty will allke require its_exervise. The natlon can- not witness with indifference the dominlon of Inwlessness aod anarchy in u State, with thelr {ncident evils, and a knowledge of the inevitable consequences. It owes a duty to the eitizens of tho United States residing in Mississippl. This xlulz‘ it mnst perform. 1t has guarauteed to the State of Mississippt a republican form of Gov- erment, and this gusrantee must be ioude good, The measures ticcessary and possible in an ex- izency are these: First, laws may he passed by ‘ongress for the protection of the register of citizens {n tho respective Btates. Second, States in anarchy or whereln affuirs aro controlled by bodies of armed men, should be denled repri- sentation fn Congress. Third, the constitution- al guarantee of 0 Republlean form of govern- ment to every 8tate will require the United Btates, If these disorders increase, or even con- tiuue, and milder measuros prove ineflectual, to vemand the State to & territorial condition, and through a system of publie education and kin- dred means of improvement, change the idens of the multitude and reconstruct the Govern- ment upou a Republican busis, THE MINORITY of the Committee, tors Bayard and Me- Donald, present thelr views at length. sy that while writing them they read with sur- prise and regret tho messagu of the President of July 31, transmlitting to Congress certain cor- rcspun«luuce relating to murders o com- mitted at Ilambursy In which he snys:™* But recently a Commlitee of tho Scnata of the United'States visited the Btato of Mississippi to take testlmony on the subject of frauds and vivlenco in clections. Thelr report has not yet been made publie, but I wait its forthcoming with a feeling of confldence that it will fully sottlo all that I have stated relating to fruuds and violenee fn the State of Mississippl.” In his letter of the 20th of July, to Gov. Chamberlain, he had stated thal Mississlppl is governed to-day by ofllefals chosen through fraud and violonce, such as would mnrculr 0 sceredlted to savages, much less ton elvilized and Christlan people. This Jast statement, come it from wlhom it may, wo qronnuuue, in the faca of the testimony taken by this Com- mittee and not yet prescuted, to be untrue and unwarranted by the facte disclosed, The tone of anlinosity to the white people of the South which breathes throughout the President's mes- snge and letter {8 unmistukable, In his mes- sagze of July 81, six days subscquent to this let- ter, tho President says, “The_report on Missis- slppl has not yet been made public,” Wh should he anticlpatet We hold and belleve it will bLe so held hfi right-thinking men everywhere, dlsereditable for the Chief Maygsls- trato thus to have cxhibited such cyldence of prejudice agalnst any portion of his fellc w-citi- zeng, 1t udds, howeyer, but another proof'to the many filven fluclufuru, that the heart and mind of President Grant are closed to all senso of }nutlw whero his political opponents, espeetaily n the Southern States, are concerned, The minority show other ntln!xl&wls to fore- stall publle opinfon in relation to ailairs in Mis- slesippl have been made caleulated to grossly mislend. When Goy.

Wilson did not modify in any particulur a single detall of Lls direct evldence. The modification of the order to transfer Bupervisors le thought wrong, and denfed that Sccretary Bristow approved of it. Wilson declared that the restoration of the order was A THIUMPIL OF THE WILISKT RING, and that the thieves everywhere rejolced at ft. It did not facilitate fthe sccrecy of his own operations. Tntton hud no Influence with the Becretary in regard to this urder. - Tutton never heard of tho operations against the ring until summoned to make the seizure at Chieago, Wilson thought McDonald's immediate resig- natlon, which the Preshilent did niat force, would have benefited the prosecition. The fact that MeD. was not removed, and that offfclal infor- matlon was received that Jim Casey hd rald ot Bt. Louls that If the whisky cnses ever werw pressed Secretary Bristow would not hold the Treasury portfollo for thirty days, made tho Becretary of the Treasury anxfous to know that the President’s co-operation was not assumed. ‘This informatlon as to Casey came to the Presl- dent fn o letter from Foster, which sccompanied the famous Barnand letter, upon which the fn- dorsement “ Let no guilty man escape ” was made. The President informed Bluford Wiison that when he made that {ndorsement NE AD DABCOCK IN TS MIND, as that very letter on which the Indorsement. was made hrought to the President the fu- formation that Joyeo aud McDonald had sald that “if the Ring trials were pressed In S8t.

Seccretary Bristow went to Long Branch to get this ndarsement. At the time ho went Bluford Wilson wrote in a letter to a per- son not named this passage, which shows that Postmoaster-General Jewell oavd the Presldent wero not in harmony: “Tho Kitchen Cabinet and the Boss Shepherd Ring must be abolished.

Louls. These aretho telegrams that were ruled out in the St. Louls trials, The Military Court, Wilson claim- ed, had the effect to place the evideucs aguinst Bubcock fn his own hands through the Judzo Advoeate, Gardner. The disimissul of Tender- son was also o serlous futerference with tho prosecutlon, beesuse Broudhead dld not have ime to propare for the trinls, and was not, be- sides, o skilted in erlminal trials as Henderson, The creular letter to the District-Attorneys relative to immunity was another evidence of TAE PRESIDENT'S INTERFENENCE, It snid, Wilson thought, to all who had pleaded guilty, “8hut your mouths. You huve nothing to galn by conlesslons,” Plerrepout, ut the thne he wrotéat, had only the case of ono GQauger, Roddls, of Mllwaiikee, before him, which had been nolled, Wilson renewed his be- lief fn tho benefits of immunity, and maintalned that the first bateh In Chicago ltad been severely punished fu the loss of property and In degradas tion, it (hc{ hud escaped erimlnal punishment.
