C., Feb, 25.~The [ouse had another busy day, nnd, to the eurprise of the Democrats themselves, ihe Legisiativa bill passed with the amendment ropealing the Su- pervisordaw, Tois was not in accordance with the Republican programme, which was defeated by ong of those accldents that it s sometimes impoesible to foresce. The debate had been specinliy animated, whon, at 1 o'clock; it was closed, and the question was putupon the agop- tion of the amcudment, This was decided in tho aflirmative—yeas, 185; nays, 110, 'Tifs wos in Committos of the Whole, the Republicans showiug no factlous. opposition, The Commit- teco rose, und, when tho Supervisor clause was reached in ‘the Houee, on a rlsing vote, on its possoge, there were but 107 voulug, the Republicans withholding thefr votes, and moking a point of order that there wns no auorum, This forced the calling of the yeas and nays, and, as the roli-call procoeded, the Repub- llcans rofused to vote, with the purposo of breaking a quorum.. Iowaver, TAREE REPUDLICANS VOTED IN THE NEGA- TIVE,— Chittenden, of New York, Fort, of Ilinols, snd Killinger, of Penusylvaula. This, with Sveaker Randall’s vote, made exactly 147,—fust n quorumn of the whole fHouse, and Speaker Rundall declared, amid applause from the Dem- ovrats, that the Bupervisor amendinent was eartied. -The Republicans * were dismayed. The votes of Chlittenden, and Fort had been given inadvertently, ‘I'hatof Killinger was fntentioual. The Republicans had falled to carry ‘thelr point,—nomely, that the Democrats should be obliged to vote on this amendment by a quorun of thelr own party. They would searcely have been ablo to do this to-dny—possibly not for two or thres days— but for the votes 'of these.threo Republicans, which, although cast inthe negative, bad the effect to secnro a quorum mud to adopt the amendment, Tmmediately aftorwards, the Re- publicans commenced 3 FILIDUSTERING MOTIONS, forcing a call of two or three rolls, and finally moving to loy the bill on the table. On the motlon to table, it~ was agaln the Intention of the Reoublicans not to vote, and thus defeat a quorum, but three Republie- ans did vote,—~Duunell of Minnesota, Patterson of New York, and Breutano of 1llinois, Of these Dunnell votod [nadvertently, ‘The result was the same s before,~3 to table and 148 in the negative, the 8peaker givig the vote neces- sury to make the quoram of 147, This vote hav- ing been taken, the Republicans mods no fur- ther factious atlempt av deluy, but gave notice that, 1 the bill came back’from the Senate or conference with the repeal provisions fn it, 1T MUST PAIL, If the bIl slould ever come hack fo the House with the Bupervisor repeal {o ity thy Re- publicans will undoubtedly execute their pur- voao, for they arc very determined on the main question that thie repeat shall not be anacted by this Congress. The Republicans were not united a8 to the advisibility of filibustering at thisstage of tho bHIL Many thonght it preferable to send tha bill to the Benate, and have the Republicans defeat it in conference, On the passuge of the bill containlng -the proposition to repeal the Bupervisor law tho yeas wero 144, strictly Demo- cratie, £o 117 Repubtican nnys. The spprooria- tion bills have thus all passed the Tonse, but there are points of difforence between the two Houscs which seem frreconetlable, and the aucs. tlon of an oxtra sesston Is yet to bo determined, THE DEDATE upon the proposition to repeal the Bupervisor law was the most animated of the session, The &pecch swhich excited the most enthusiism was u fivo-minute effort of George €. Iaxelton, of Wiscousin, 1o sharply srraizned the S8outheru- ers for attempting to repeal this law, charging that they did it ns a matter of rotallntion, aud that the bulldozers of Loulslana, the murderers of Chifsholm in Missiesippl, the committers ot outragea everywhere throughout the Bouth wanted the law vopealed, that the eyes of thu eroat Government infght be taken from the ballot-boxes, Qun.

The gentleman from Olfo (Southard) fu pressing this amendment had thrown down to the Repub- lican side of the Housa the gauge of battle.
