The proveed- ings to-day were characterized by language of the most ‘vulgar Billingegate, by appeals to the wildest passions, by propositions and denuaciations anparlamentary, dis- courteous and disgraceful. The galleries are daily ap- pealed to in general terms by inflammatory arguments, and often in language direct. To-day, 80 loosely was the ‘Dusiness of the House conducted, that the members them- selves presented more the appearance of a disorganized mob in a Jow pothouse than that of the greatest delibera- tive body in the world; and under the impulsive retort of @ member from Arkaneas to the remark of a member from New York, the galleries, from the example set them by the members, caught up the fever of disorder and Droke out into the loudeat cheers. The Clerk appealed to the people in the galleries to preserve order, rebuking the House at the same time for setting the example. Unkes ttione who profess to represent the people can give better evidence that they are capable of governing themselves than they have done thus far, they had better not attemp; to govern others, A few more weeks of such bear garden ecenes as have been witnessed at the national Capitol will ‘be sufficient cause for the people to rise, and, with aCrom- ‘well at their bead, drive the present disorganizers from aoeesssaae HA ini RARRRAQARR @ov. of " the Capitol. ger: + of omreeny: ‘The House is really no nearer an election than it was sor. ny f '. weeks ago.

Realf, Old Brown’s Secretary of State, has arrived, and will testify before the Senate Investigating Commitice to-morrow.

He wiil testify to a correspondence between John Brown and Sengtor Wilson; but he asserts that Mr. Wilson denounced the proposition of Brown’s to run slaves out of slave States as anact of madness.
