The result fs that actfon upon the Senate bill has been prevented, white Ewing suffers the humili- ation of having presented to-day his own pot measurs to tho Ilouse, which FAILED TO RECEIVE A MAJONITY VOTE. A two-thirds vote was neccessary for fta pos- snge, yet it only received 100 yeas to 114 nays. The vote on tho bill to retire National Dank curroncy and substitute greenhacks 1s o very In- teresting study. Ananalysisof It shows that the Sonth and West were pitted apoinst the East.

The bill reculating the tine of holding Con- gressfonal elections in West Virginia was passed without tho Senate amendment relatlve to the electlon of Senutors fu New Humpshire. Tho effect of this will be to leave New Hampshirg without o Senator for a uumber of months next year, and fu the cvent that the Legistature of that State should go Democratic, Wadlelgl's successor would not be a Republicau. ‘The Scnate bill creating an AUDITOR OF RAILROAD ACCOUNTS was on uiotlon of Clark, of Missouri, passead by a voto of 185 yeas to 13 nays. Thoe purpose of this bill Is to sccure a more careful suditory and control of the relations of the Uoverimcnt to the Paclile Ratlrond, The Democrats do not appear to be alto- gether sutisfied with their investigation, for they refusea to authorize the Comiuittee on Expenditures {n the Post-Office Department and the Committee on Public Expenditures to o1t during the recces.

Fenton's nomination wus this afternoon rejucted, tnoved Jto re- consider the vote of rejectlon. It was competont for any Senator to make this motiou, as no formal vote hed been taken on the quea- tion. Conkling cuntended that mo objections had been ralsed agalnst Guv.

Fenton’s acquirements In this special fleld ot Investigation superfor to ‘those of Lawreace, and hie expressed a strong desire that the for- mer shouid yet be confirmed. These remarks jmmedtately gave rise to a long discussion, which 1¢eluted almost oxclusive- 1[' to Lawrence's fitness, aud only incidentally isclosed the fact that the sllver men fu tha Henate still adhered to their objections sgalust Fenton, ou the ground that he bellover in the single gold-standard theory, that ai lesst two of the three Commissioners aught.

Fenton's rejection, and it was defeated by two majority, —yecas 23, noys 25. The division was mainly upon lincs of fnanclal views, Senator Kernan a4 not vote. The nomination of Lawrence was then referred back from the Committee on Fi- nanco with s favorable recommendation, and Mr. Morrill woved that it forthwith confirmed. A single objce- tion, huwever, prevented its consideration during the sumc exccutive scasion. The Sen. ate thercu resumed the consideration of legisiative business for a few momeuts and then agsin went into _exccutive scsstou, by which time a messagze waa recelved from the Vresident withdrawing the nomination of Lawrence aud returning that of Gov.

BUTLER'S FOSITION with respect to the Admintstration and the Pot. ter investigation is no longer a mystery.

Indeed, ho fs ~mnfite- stood to have turaed his back upon’ Republicun- iso1, at which Massachusotts Republicans in Congress certainly rejolce. Ropubllcan members of the Potter Committee have been greatly grieved as to Gen, Butler's attitude, as thoy bave taken Wim into thgir closeat counscl. Indeed, the first conference of the Republican members of the Comrnittee was held at Butler's house.
