Feb. 24.—The sesston of the House and of the Joint Convention to-day was the most important and exciting since the Presidential count began. It seemed atone time as if the strength of the filibustering move- nent was permanently broken, bu at the close of the session, when & recess until Monday was ordered, the revolutionists took new hope. In the morning when the Democratic caucus reso- lution that the Joint Convention should not sssemble until 1 o’clock was defeated by Demo- cratic votes, the filibustering comspira- tors themselves werc almost inclined to surrender, but after the recess was ordered to-night they claimed that it was a trinmph, of = fllibustering motion, and thst the results of the evening would show that the revolutionary movement had gained strength. The Republicans were nearly all in their seats by 10 o'clock this morning, some- thing quite unprecedented since the Presidentlal count began. The Democrats were represent- ed by A VERY SCANTY MINORITY. This of itself was a welcome indication for the filibustering movement. The Secretary of the Senate early announved to the House that the Senate had decided the Oregon case, and was ready for the Joint Convention. This left the Howse mno excuse for de- lay. Spesker Ranaall, just as the polnt of onder was to -be made upon him, an- nounged to the House the decision of the Elect- oral Tribunal. McMahon then moved the cau- cus resolution that the Joint Convention should not be held until 1 o'clock. Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, propused a substitute thas it should meet immediately. In doing this he made A STRONG POINT, of which the Republicans may be compelied to gvail themselves, if, as they threaten, the fti- basters decide to prolong the count until March 4. The point was that it was as much a violation of the Electoral law, and as much 2 revolution for the House to refuse to =dmit the Senate to Joint Convention directly the tribunal bad de- cided the case, as it would beto (-om:!l.ete the count in the Senate Chamber. Wilson’s amendment providing for an im- mediate seesion was adopted by avote of 145 seas to 87 nays. This was the first defeat of & aucus resolution of the Democratic party which has been suffered in Congress for many years. The second vote upon adopting the amended resotution received additional strength, and was sgreed to by a vote of 157 yeasto 88 nays. g The following Democrats VOTED WITH THE REPUBLICANS on Wilson’s substitate, viz.: Baghy, Tarrison, Reagan, ngbg, Hatcher, Rovbing (Pa.), Bell. Haymond, Savage, Bland, Holman, Stevenson, Blml::!.(E ) fe.hdh « )Tirbo:. i Brown s anders(Conn. ), Throckmorton, Buckner, i Le Moyne, Walker (N.

Tn all forty-two. These Were substantially the forty-fonr who voted in the caucus of last night against filibustering. ONE MORE EFFORT at flibustering was made in the motion to re- consider the last vote, which, upon the roll-call, was defeated by 175 veas to ™4 nays. At this point the Conservative Democrats and Republicans felt assurred of victory. After the Joint Convention had separated, the obstruc- tipnists endeavered again to delay by present- jug a resolution for a recess until 3fonday morn- ing. Hancock, of Texss, took the lead of the moderate Sonthern Democrats, by opposing this motion in a strong. earnest, manly speech. He took the broad Republican grouad that it was unlawful to delay the proceeding of the count. Again the Hounse . REFUSED TO TAKE A RECE3S, the vote being 112 yeas to158 nays. The Demo- ‘crats voting in the negative were: Hatcher, Savage, Beebe, Haymond, Schicicher, Bell, Hewitt (N.Y.), Stevenson, Blana, Hil, Tarbox, Blount, a {iel;:. aeee,km e Brown (Ky.), Le Moyme, hroc .

Speaker Mtandall. to his honor it must be said, ruted that such a motion could only be considered 25 of a ditatory character. as In violation of a plain pro- vision of the Electoral law, and could not be en- tertained. Randall’s ruling was evidently = surprise to his party friends, for he had been counted among the fillbusters. It has been learned, however, that in csucus vesterday " evening he. told his friends that he was willing to go to any length which the party might desire, but that in his judg- ment to entertain such a course would RUIN THE PARTY. 2 He evidently took counsel of his better jndg- ment to-day, dnd made the proper equitable roling which any honest Speaker must have made. In the two hours debate npon the Oregon de- cision there was but one important Incident. Hewitt had caused the report to be widely cir- culated that he shoul@ make an assault upon George T. Hoar, member both of the Electorpl tribunal ana the Committee which framed the bill. He made his assault, in which he charged go distinguished a man as Mr. Hoar with dishonor. The specch Wwas a most pitiable fiasco, and came to a lame and impotent conclusion. Not sowitnthe reply of Mr. Hoar. The latter demonstrated his own consistency, and clearly showed the incousist- ency, upon the very points In issue, of SESATORS BAYARD AND THURMAX. Bothof these gentlemen, in unequivocal terms, had expressed themselves in 8 manner contrary to their recent rulings in the Commission. Le Moyne, who has voted constantly with the moderate men against filibustering, made 3 ten-minutes ‘speech, n which, while opposing any revolutionary movement, he drew from the result what he thought the maurnful lesson that .a large minority, con- trolled by office-holders in this conntry, can al- ways defeat the majority. PESNSYLVANIA. © The Joint Convention having reassembled, the vote of Oregon being counted, and the certifi- cates of Peunsylvania read, Mr. Henger, of Penusylvania, who is called the boy Congress- man, objected to the count of two Electorsl votes in the Statc on the groand of ineligibility. He found twelve Senators -and Representatives who were evil-disposed enough to sign the objections with him. ft was then near 4 o'clock. The House had been in session for seven hours. “All were fatigued, and it was not mnch doubted that when a mo- tion_for a recess until Monday was made it would be carried. When the roll-call was com- pleted. however, it appeared that the motion was defeated by eeven majority. The obstruce- tionist party, then thoroughly frightened, by personal cotresty begged enough Demoerats to change their votes to 2 CARRY THE MOTION for a recess by a vote of 133 to 121e The principal purpose for arecess was that a caucus might be’ convened this even- ing to consider what policy the party could be induted to sustain. The obstructionist faction scemed determined to weary out the conservatives by annoying and vexatious de- lays. The principal matterto be acted upon was the two bills formally pregented to the caucns by Dudley Field, and to-dsy by a- vote agreed to be reported to the House by the Prerogative Committee. ONE OF THESE BILLS provides for trying the title to the President by 2 suitin quo wnrranto. The other for & new election in November. Directly after the recess Field called a caucus of the New York Democratic delegation at his house, and presented the bills for their consid- eration, and urged united action. He was by no means saccessful. Some of the members took strong grounds against the constitution- ality of one of the bills, and against the propriety of the other. The delegation would NOT AGREE TO TNITE in support of either of these measures. In the course of the conference it was made definitely to appear that Tilden earnestly favors this filibustering policy. Col. Pelton is actively con- ducting the couspiracy outside, avowedly at the instance of Tilden. The revolutionists are pow _outspoken enough themseives to admit in confidence that the success of the conspiracy is desired by Til- den. Hendricks, on the other hand, has caused his followers to understand that he is opposed to such a ruinous policy. He seems the less In- clined to it, 2s it is definitely known that within 2 week Tilden formed 2 plan to saerifice Hen- dricks, and through some compromise _arrange- ment to secure bis own elcction to the Presiden- ey, and the clection of Wiceler to the Vice- Prosidency. IN TIIE HOUS REPORT OF THE COMMISSION. WasmiNgTox, D. C., Feb. 24—The Speaker 1aid before the House 2 communication from Justice Nathan Clifford, informing the Housc that the Electoral Commission had considered and decided the guestion intrusted to it in re- gard to the votes of Oregon, and had traus- mitted its decision to the President ot the - Senate. McMahon offered a resoiution directing the Cleri of the House to notifythe Senate that the House would be ready at 1o'clock to recelve that body. A A HIST. Mr. Wilson raised a polnt of order thst noth- ing was in order but a resolution to notify the Senate that the House was now ready to receive that body. He therefore offered that resolu- tion. He wished to call attention to the fact that the very moment the Commission re- ported it had come to & decision, the hall of the House was as much at the disposal of the Senate ss of the House. The set ar- ranged for the first meeting in the hall of the House, but it was no ereater rviolation of the spirit of the act that the Senate should ask the Honse to meet it in the Senate Chamber than that the House should shut its doors and pre- vent the Senate comiing to its hall. The Speaker ruled tbat Mr. McMahon's reso- lution wes in order, but that Mr. Wilson’s resolution could be offered as o substitute. It was so offered, and was agreed to—yeas, 145; 87, 5 m"r‘lsfe question was then on the resolution as amended. Mr. Vance endeaored to make 2 motion for a recess until 10 o'clock Monday, but was nét recognized. The._resolution, s amended, was gereed to—yeas, 157 nays, 59.

ENTER Convention at noor, and the decision of the Electoral Commission touching the votes from Oregon was read. ‘The brief _ground of tho de- cision, which is in favor of all the Hayes Elect- ors, is that *the =aid Electors appearto have been lawfully appointed, and thev voted as such at the time and in the manner provided for by the Constitution of the United Statesand the law; and the Commissfon are further of the opinion that by the laws of Oregon the duty of canvassing the retarns of all the votes given at an election of President and Vice- President was imposed upon the Secretary of State, and upon no one else; that the Secretary of State did canvasq¥these returns, and ascer- tained that J. C. Cartwright, W. H. Odell, and J. W. Watts had a majority of all the votes given for the Electors, and had the highest num- ber of vates for that uilice; and by the express language of the statute those persons ARE DEEMED ELECTED: that, in obedience to his duty, the Secretary of State made a canvass and tabulated statement of the votes showing this result, which, accord- ing to law, he piaced on tile in his- oftice 0n the 4th of Dtcember, 1575. Al this ap; by the offictal certificate, under theseal of the Secretary of State, and sizned by him, and was deliverei by him to the Electors. and forwarded by them 10 the President of the Senate with the votes; that the refusal or fallure of the Gov- ernor of Oregon to sign the certificate of the election of the persons so elected does not have the effect of defeating their appointment for such Electors; that the act of the Governor of Oregon, in giving 1o E. A. Cronin a certificate ol his election, though he rezcived 1,000 votes lass than Watts, on the ground that the latter ;r“.\s ineligible, waw without the authority of 2w, g AND IS THEREFORE VOID; that although the evidence showed that Watts 'was a Postwaster at the time of his election, that fact is rendered immaterial by his resigna- tion, both to Postmaster and Elector, and his subsequent appointment to fill the vacancy in the Electoral College; that the Commission has, in consequence of the foregoing and upon. the grounds before stated, decided that a paper parporting to be the certiicate of the Electoral vote of Oregon, signed by E. A. Cronip, J. N. T. Miller, and ~ John Tarker, is "not a certificate of the votes “provided for .by the Constitution of the United States. and they ought not to be counted as such.” The mem- bers of the Commission agreeing to and spprov- icg toland approviog of this decision are Samucl F. Miller, Joseph P. Bradley, W. Strong, George F. Edmunds, O. P. Morton, Frederick T. Fre- linghuysen, James A. Garfleld, Georae F. Hoar. OBJECTIONS. The presiding officer ssked Whether there were any objcctions to this devision. Senator Kelly objected to the decision on the following grounds: ™ First, tha Watts was not elected; second, that he was not appointed; thrd, that he was disqualified to receive any ap- pointment as a Presidential Elector, or to sit as such, as_he held an office of trust and prots under the United States: fourth, that Cronin was clected s Presidential Elector for Oregon, and fo_accordance with law cast the legal vote as such Elector for Tilden, and that such vote should be counted. * The objection is sizmed by Senators Kelly, Whyte, Cooper, McDonald, Norw and Here- - ford, god by Represeutatives, Lynde, Popale- ton, Jenks, Vance, Throckmorton, Wike, Wig- ginton, and Luttrell. The presiding oflicer asked whether there, were any further objections to the decision, and: there being none, he announced that the Scnate swould withdraw to its chamber in order. Mr. Clymer offered a resolution in the Honse forarecess till Monday, which was defeated— yeas, 112 nays, 158, * ‘After the Senators had withdrawn, the Speak- er made the snnouncement of a new legislative aay. ] THE FILIBUSTER3. > Mr. Clymer offered a resolution that, for more careful consideration of tuc objections to the report of the Electoral Commission in the Oregon case, the House shall now take a recess until 10 o'clock Monday. - He desired to staws why'be offered the resoluiion, bat was met by * objections on the Republican- side, and by.the Speaker ruling that the question was notde- batable. Mr. Clymer—Do gentlemen on the other side refuse to hear 2 statement as to the object.of there.esst ¥ p Mr. Townsend—I object to debate. Mr. Hancock made and arzued o polot of order, that ander the Constitution and under the Electoral law, 2 recess was not now in or- der. Inconclusion, he saids “I feel as keenly as any other the mortification of defeat and dis- appointment, but I hope 1o . one will 8o far lose Tiis manhood as to fail in the performance of bis duty. Therejs no authority in either House o procrastinate,do delay, to resort to any legis- lative or parliumentarv expedients to gostpona t t.i:e action enjoined upon us by the Constita- tion. CLYMER'S MOTIVES. Mr. Clymer—This is a question of order, not, of manhowd, and it seems to be a work of super- erogation to raise this nuestion of order after it has been alréody decided four times. L wl further, to_ssy that-in Zhiking the motien I bave done it—' : Mr. Townsend—T object to the debate. Several of the Republicans—Let him go on. Townsend—Very well. e Mr. Clymer (continuing.)—As my motive has been impagned, 1 have the right to say that ro far as I am concerned, and I helieve so far as the majority of those with whom I act are con- cerncd, the motion is made in good faith. This Orezon question does involve issues of the high- est importance to all the people, aud if those who wish to };rescnt their reasons for opposing. the findine of the Commission should ask for delay, sbould ask for time, should ask for the quict of the Sabbath to come over them snd. their outrazed feclings [derisive Janghter on the Republican eide] they ought to have it. There- fore I bave mage the motlon in good faith. Mr. Brown—Is it in order to reply to the gen- .- tleman from Pepnsylvania? 3 THE CHAIR PUT3 ITS FOOT DOWX. ‘The Speaker—Not unless it be on a point of: order. Ei side having been heard, the Chair thinks it his duty to confine the discussion to+ the question_of order. The Chair decided on. the 10th of February the szme guestion in the: Florida case, and an appeal being taken from 1is decision, the appeal was Jaid oo the table by avote of 136 to 76. The Chair has since thati decision consulted various peisons whose names,. if 1 were at liberty to state them, would bes recognized as those of men of great parlisment~ ary practice and knowledge, and bardly one of! them dissented from the opinion and ruling of’ the Chair. In conclusion, he overrnled the * p;s&m. ot order, and decidea the motion \n.sin] order. The question was then taken, and the resolu- ', tion was rejected—eas, 112; nays, 158. . SHOUT OPF AGAIN. Mr. Lane then moved for a recess untfl 9:30 ¢ o'clock Monday. 5 Mr. Hale made a poiot of order that the mo-: tion was a dilatory one, and therefore in contra~ vention of thé Constitution and law. The Speaker—The Chair is unable to recog-+» nize this motion in any other light thanas 2 -, dilatory motion. * M e—It was not so intended. s The Speaker—The Chair is unable to ” it in any other way. The Chaic rules that whern: § the Constitution of the United States directs anything to be done, and where the law the Constitution of the United States and in obedience_therto, dirccts anything to be done by either House, it Is not in order, by any mo- s ~ [ gentlemap from Oregon—— tion, to obstruct or impede the exccution of that Constitution and Jaw. (Applause cn the floor and in the galleries.] Mr. Lane—I desirc to 53y, in justice to my- self, that it was not in that spirit that I made the motion to take a recess.. [Calls to order.} It is a matter of personal privileze, and I have ~ , THE RIGHT TO EXPLAIN. 5 The Speaker—The Chair would state to the ~ r. Lane=1I trust the Chair will not Inter- . rupt. [Laughter.] The Chair has stated that - & 1 made a motion in that spirit. 4 The Speaker—The Chair has not attempted | to classify the gentleman’s motives or 1o iadi- 3 cate what they are. That belongs to a higher power. |Laughter.] Mr. Lane—To that higher power I am wiiling * - to AsuhmlL Y member—You_ cannot back of the re- turns. [Laughter.] 2 & The attention of the Speaker was directed to breaches of decorum on the tioorand in the gal- lertes. The Speaker announced that if the dis- . turbances were renewed, he would direct the galleries to be cleared. Mr. Cox hoped the rules would be enforced on the floor, and have it cleared first. ‘The Speaker sngzested that Le was unabte to perceive bow the business could be proceeded With if the floor were cleared.
