Bpecial DispateA to The Tribune. ‘Wasnmxerox, D. 0., April 8.—~The Door- keeper controvorsy is settled by the election of Confederate Maj.-Gen. Field, the Democratic caticus nominee, and both sides clatm the vie- tory. Tho Ropublicans were not successfol in Laving the {ssue presented cxactly as thoy wished t, ns the rulings of the Speaker were not in thelr favor. Tho Bouse declded almost unanimously, as was supposed wouwld be the case, that tho election of Doorkeeper !s n priv- leged question, That done, the strife began, and the story of tho \War was told over again. It 18 needless to repeat it here. Ben Butler drow a parallcl botween the gallant Union Gen- cral dhiclds, the hero of two wars and the wounded of both, who yet was a Democrat, abd THT CAUCUS NOMINER, . who, cducated at thocxpense of his country at West Point, Inid down his sword atthe oute break of tha Rebelllon to enter the service of the Confederacy, and who since, too proud-to petition for a restoration to cltizenship, took upon himsclf the alleglance of the Sultan in the Khedive's army, aud has had his disabilitics ss an Amerfean citizen removed for but two months. Indrawing that paratlel, Uen. Butler sought to revive the Northern saldlor seati- ment, and did not forget to say a word for him- scll. Gen, Dutler has smarted vory keenly under the assaults of Bamuol Cox, and the charge, well founded on Butler's own votes, that he (Butler) was plauniog to return to his old Democratic first tove, and, A8 1P TO ATONB for the two Democratic votes this month, Butler sought to place himsclt {n tho advanced rauks of radlcalism, and pictured himself as tho sol- dler’s fricnd in the midst of the widows and or- phans, and the graves, and wreck, and ruin of war, The Republicans, without preconcerted action, generally followed Butler's leadership, Thera wero elght, however, who determined under no circumstauces to vots for a Democrat 80 long as a Republican Unlon soldler could bo found, Theso eight were Russell Ervett, New- ton Evans, Harmer, O'Nefll, Raundolph, Bundy, T. Harry White, and Bayne. DBut the rest fol- lowed, although a vory considersblo number of ‘Western Ttepublicans to-nighs say TUEY DID WRONG to follow Butler's leadership, and that they should not have permitted the man who so re- cently has labored under the !mputation of Democracy to constituta himself tha leader of the Republican party. Tho Democrats succoed- od, after a long debato and heated soecches, in adgotiog the substitute, which provided simply thatthe House proceed to the olection of Door- keoper. This wos practically {done by a party vote. The debate which led to this was tainly conducted by Butler and Frye, of the Repub- licau side, and by Clymer and Blackburn on the Democratic side. Blackburn could not forego makiug s sly dig at Butler, wiich the hero of Dutch Gap did not approctato, Referring to But- ler’s boust that ho alouc hiad sought to MAKE TREASON ODIOUS by bonging o traitor, Blackbura stated that the hanging of an unarmed man was all the harm or injury the Massachusetts warrior over did. Butler did not oqual expectations elther in his speech or in bis parliasmentary tactics. Mo scems to be losing something of his vitality, snd of the marked vigor which characterized his early careor in Congrees. Ilis mental processcs are not as acute. Iesurrenders points to which o fow years ago he would kaveclung with dogged tenacity. Ho succeeded, howover, In’ putting the Democrats substantially in the position where they were compelled to choose between o wounded Denocratic sotdicr and a Confederato Major-Gencral. The Domocrats have mado this 1a8uo upon that polnt, AND CANNOT AVOID 11 They have chosen for Doorkeeper an ex-Con- federato oflicer, when & Deulocrat who was a wounded Union soldier of unimpeschable char- acter was placed in nomination againat him. That such was felt to be the cffect of thelr action was shown by the voto of Springer, of Ilitnols. He certalnly must be consldered as strong o pattisan as well inay be, but ha felt compelied to vote agatust his caucus nominee, Ho could not have voted against the gallaut old Demovratic Bhiclds, whosu vutne ls & household word fu Illinofs. But APRINGER STANDY ALONS 5 among the Democrata In tuils vots to booor the old Unloo saldier. The Dewocrats will endeav- or o wmake it oposar that they were to Gen. Blields, becsusc, aftor nd preveuted him from securing a certaln Myelihood which the present office. would offer, they pusscd & buncombe resolution {:‘hclug Lim upon the retired llat as & Brizadicr- cneral, ‘The Demacrats who voted for thisres- olution well kuesw that thero was . NOT TUN FAINTEST CLANCH that it would ever pass the Henate, or that that budy would outer luto the Doorkeeper’s quarrel. ‘Tho resolution to thus houor Gen. Shields was o plece of clap-trap, while the Republicans sought to offer bim u«n fmwediate place where Lo could recelve a handsome compensation, There 183 report to-night that the Democrats bave been deceived fn the politles of their new caudi date, aud that this famous ex-Confedcrate Major-Geucral Field 1s a Republican; that ho nover voted but once fn his life, and that he then voted for Guu, Grant for President, A Deinocratic Beuator youches for this story, FIELD'S ALLEGIANCE. Although it wag denfed tn tho House to-dsy that Gen. Fleld had sworn allegiauco to the Kbedive, it is known thst the oflicer who was first apolied to to fll the placo which bs after- ward took was notiticd that if bo accepted It would be necessary for him to reoounce his alieglanco to the United Btates, and because of this the officer declined, but sent word that he vould find n rnan who would, and subscquently Ficld was found and sccepted. THE DEBATE. A QUESTION OF PKIVILEGE, Wasmiscroy, 1), C., Avrll 8,—0On the mosting of the Houee to-day 1 ory fuil attend. ance of the members, and the galleries wera crowded. in expectation of excitlng scenes npon the question of the clection of & Dootkeeper, Tme mediately after the resding of the journal, the Hpeaker rald that the firat question In order was whether the resolution presented on Friday Inst by the gentleman from Massachusette (Dutler) was & question of privilege. . 1 by a yiva voco vote, manifestly do- bat 3r, Conger thought that, as the action of the Tlonse would establish a pracedent, it would be better to take the vole by yess and nays, and they were therefors ordered, and reaulited— yeas, 2103 nays, 4. Tho Speaxer stated that the lonse having just decided tho resclution to be & question of privi- lege, the resolution was before the House, 1tisin thees words: ZHetolred, That the House proceed to the election of & Doorkeeper, and that that trac Unlon maimed soldler, Brig. -Gen. James 8bields, of Missour, be chonen'to thal offica. G Mry Clymer asked Mr. Hotler ta sltow him (o of- fer a substitate for the recolution, and offered the following? Jterosred, Thatthe Honse proceed to the eloction of Doorkeeper, 3ir. Nutler—I denire that the exact state of tho question shall bo beforo the Iloase, and 1 suggest to the gentleman from Pennaylvanis that, ss we are men of busineas, we givi ention to tha mat- ter in band. 1 undoratand that since tho last ad- Journment there has been & caucan of Democratic membere, and that a candidate of their choica Is to ‘be put forward, Why not insert in the substitate the name of that eandidate, and let tho House de- termine betwaon 1he two? Mr. Clymer—If the gentleman withdraws tho namination contained In bi¢ resolution we can ar- riveat this thing by & single vole, but if Le will not daeo1 prefer to adhere to the substitate as of- fered. This will throw the question open to nom- Inations under the rales of tha House, Mr. Bntler—1 cannot withdraw my nomination. 1 did not proposs to go into this matter with any 1dea of catchea or parilamentary rule I want to meot the question fairly in the face, and there- fore [ sugeest that thopswme of theather candidate ba placed In the substiiute, r. Clymor—If the gentleman yiclds tome I will offer a substitote and demand the previous ques- fon. 3r. Butler—Oh, pardon ma; T did not yleld for hats that [s o trick that will not do. Mr, Clymer—The genfleman has no right to ac. cuse mo of desiring to perpetrate a fraud on the Houee. 1% 18 unkind, ta say the least of it. Mr, Batler—1 will withdraw 1f you asecrs that 1t was not intendod, BIr, Clymer—Certalnly thore ls no trick abont it. Mr, Dutler—Very well: then I withdiaw the proposition. A Tlelllnn was raiscd whether | the right ta offer ihe resolation. Om that point 1 desire to snbmit a letter from den. Shields, Mr, Butler then sent to tho Clerk's desk and Lad read 8 Jetter to himself from Gen. Bhielas asking him (when the Benate bill increasing his ponsion 1o $30 A month should come before the Housa) to try and maxo it $100, adding that others who had sullcred less and not done more were on the retired liat, and that this kind sct would not injure him (Butler) in Now England. Mr, Kden suggested that, If Mr. Botler wonld offer that amendment to the Senate bill, sl the Democrats would vote for it, Mr. Butler (scornfully)—Oh yes! Itold that let- tera justification, If, when I find an oflice vacant, lustead of making tho old vetorsn of the Mexlcan War eat the bread of pension and dependence 'wonld give him (s0 far as I was concerncd) an office in which he can earn his living snd hold an honor- ablo ofice. ‘The only compluint that 1 heard was from the gentloman from New Yurk (Cox) that Gen, Shields was too good for It, ~that ho,was too high and toonoblo_for it. Thie lotter is my war- rant for doing It. 1do not know that 1 should not luave done it for any other soldier_in the samg con- dition, 1am guite cortaln thut I should. Now, liore 1s a Unlon Qencral, a Mexican Gen- eral, twize wounded on ‘the glorious road to Mexico, & man withont reproach, & man not medking the offica (for 1f he had written to mo to nlaunl his name for office of Doorkesper 1should have hesitatod), but & man who {s now sraveling through New Fngland to earu bis living by lecturing, snd when such v, man pressnta hini- #clf befare mo asking the pookplttance of $100 o mnnth (he gots but $70), and*Jienl roo a_ place where he can get $200, and ea'n it honorably and falrly, have I not done right In bringing hia name beforo the Hoasa? Mr. Stenger—Doea not the gentleman know that that office will only last for ono yoar, while ponsion would be for life? Mr, Butler—Pardon mo. If he {s capable, it somsbody does not lfe him down g; atating him to be B3 years of age, when ho {v but 87, he will remain hero any years, This oflico will tast i two yesrs st any rate, and afterthat I kuow that, If we t into powes, wo will keep him, and will give im a pension besides, (A‘T anse on the Repab- lican nide.] And I koow that the other side will keep him, unless some Comfederate, who {s not hart, wonts the ofice mors (Ap- plause on tho Republican side, 2 Mr, Kden—Dovs not the gonileman from Massa. cliusetts think that Gen. Shiclds would bo better suited to A1l the position of Postmanter-ieneral than that of Doorl elKul of the Iouse, and does he not think that, with his great jntluence with this Administration, he could succeed fn getting him into that oftlce? Mr. Butler—Oh (ironically), my great Influoncs with this Administration] |Laughter.] The gen- tleman must_cortainly have barily got over the festivitles of Saturday. Mr, Eden—1 did not go to Cheater.
