The analysif of the vote shows that the motion was defeated by the sal men, who got wind of the pur- pose of the opponents of repeal to puton a rider admitting salt and coal free. Mr. McCarthy, of New York, the champion of salt, voted in the committee for the repeal of the ii ‘o-day he turned tail and voted Hooper's mo’ , leat salt should Geme to harm if the repeal bill was pushed.

Mr. Conkling didnot think this question could be considered without sume discussion, and unless it was the intention ot the Senate to de- vote a conskierable time to it, it was best not to take it up now. is maintained that the question of the admission of a Senator was ove of privilege, which overrides all other cuestions, and hence that this resolution must be taken up, and he made this point of order. The Vice President overruled the point of order, for the reason that before the Senator elect could take his seat legislation was neces. sary. A resolution has to be passed, which must Hirst meet the approval ot the President before it was operative. Mr. Thurman did not know what the Presi- dent had to Go with Uus iatter. ‘The \.ce President said the resolution now ashed to be taken up was a joint resolution, aud of course must be sent to the President. ‘the morniny hour here expired, and the vntinished business, being the bill to regulate the organization of the common 5 ®CROOLS IN TER DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, came np.

Mr. Sherman expressed his surprise that Mr. Trumbuil should antagonize the mere jvestion of removing the disabilities of a per- son, against the impertant appropriation bills especially when that Senator had positively stutid that he would not vote tor any wore in- dividual disability bills, Alter on, Mr. Trumbull asked that ) ay be set apart for the con- sidezation of the case of Mr, Milter; which was agreed to. ‘The legistative, executive and jndicial appro- Propriation bill was then proceeded with. ‘The first amendment from the Committee on Appropriations—to increase the elerical force in the office of the Secretary of the Senate trom six ty fonrteen in number—was rejected, and Mr. Davis suggested that some five or six com- mittees bad clerks who had nothing to do. aud they ought to be dismissed. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.—Mr. Paine, (Wis.,) chairman of the Committec on Elections, said be held in his hands THE CREDENTIALS OF RICRARD H. WHITELEY as A member of Congress from the second Geo gia district. He had compared the commi-~=i with those of the other members trom Georgia, aud found it exactiy like them. He therefore moved that he be sworn in. a ‘andall, (Pa..) © member of the commit- tee. said there was some question about this certificate, but he was unwilling pes ye from the course which had been adop' by the House. To go a-ide from this course would leave them entirely at sea. If any wrong had heen done, it could be investigated and rem- edied, and the committee was ready to give the case ils attention. Mr. Young (Ga.) said that while the certifi- cates were apparently the same, the others were made out Bitty days ago, while this was but three days old.

After a contest, the House, by a vote of 10° to 7. refused to go inte committee for that purpose.
