The second day of the debate in the House upon the report of the Poland Committee did not bring but such a large crowd as the first day, ihe gal- feries were packed, however, to their utmost papacity, and later in the day the hallways-became again crowded. Mr. Platt, of Virginia, after the reading of the journal, moved that ladies who could pot find room in the galleries be admitted to the floor, a8 yesterday, and upon a vote by tellers it avas found that two-thirds did not agree in favor of admitting them. The heartrending intelligence being conveyed to the fair outsiders, there was mach wailing among a large number of belles from up town, who had such a jolly time flirting with Wongressmen yesterday. There was not a full attendance on the part of members until the afternoon, aithough ali of the leaders were present from the first. Oakes Ames, men he came to his desk, found thereon A BEAUTIFUL BOUQUET, Bent by some enthusiastic lady admirer from the galleries, The veteran shovel-maker’s face was lit with @ half smile as he took out some letter paper ud commenced writing. He did not, however, take much interest in the proceedings during the early session. His display of feeling yesterday peoms to have been followed by indifference, Alter the reading of the journal Peiand spoke upon the question of the duration of debate. For his part he was willing to have it goon until the end of the session if the House so wilied it. There was an attempt made here by several of the leaders to have the debate finished to-day and a vote taken ko-morrow after the reading of the journal; but this sailed, The number of statesmen who wish to go down to history at the tail end of a buncombe Bpeech in this matter is daily increasing. Dan Woorhees had the floor for the first hour. There was considerable attention given to his appear- ance. Mr. Voorhecs, the “tall sycamore of the AVabash,” as his constituents playfully call him, came early down the aisie te the side of Eldridge, of Wisconsin. He gave way then for a few mo- puents to Beck, of Kentucky. Beck is A NOISY, DEMONSTRATIVE SPEAKER, His style is a trifle distressing to his auditors, asa Bympathy is always awakened for his earnest physical struggles. As he spoke to-day In his vociferating style he denounced everything pertaining to the Crédit Mo- bilier transaction, but ali tie while it was apparent his real intent was to shield the offenders trom legislative justice. | After him Voorhees stood up, with all the ease of & practised debater, and signified his intention of sing the balance of the hour for himself, There Was a very flattering silence, as Voorhees was kpown to all as a good talker, and the ingenuous public are fond of listening to good talkers, even if their silvery tongues are used for gilding over Bullied virtue. Dan was as tragic as a heavy villain in a melodrama, There was an affec. tation of perfect decorum and an assumption ef grave parliamentary dignity which did not Bit ill upon the auburn-haired, broad-shouidered hoosier statesman, who represented in bis speech she sentiments of alarge minority on his side of the House. DAN VOORHEES! SPEECH. , The popular rumor was right. Daniel appeared fin the character of Brooks’ Jawyer, and made & Bpeech which can only find a paralie! in the pleas of criminal lawyers jor prisoners charged with high crimes belore a petit jury. Doubtless out in Indiana, where juries give the case to the man ‘who makes the best argument, Dan might have suc- weeded in clearing his client. But here, before a jury of Congressmen, his arguments had no especial effect. Brooks listened to him with a peculiar rapture on his sallow face, and smacked his lips alternately over Voorhees’ sonorous sentences and over aglass of port wine which he had on his desk beside him, The eloquent Speaker would walk the aisle in his easy manner and fire A VOLLEY OF RHETORIC Into space, and then he would retreat in good order, back up the aisle, where, under the wing of the incorruptible Eidridge, he would discharge & fre ef brilitant sophistry and imagination. Dan tried to work upon the sympathies of his audience, He spoke of Brooks’ long life, and likened his eharacter to an oak—he might have gone further pnd likened him to an Oakes—wnhich had withstoed the storms of ages and was now unshaken amid the present hurricane of denunciation. A iook at Brooke at this juncture, listening with all the queruious interest of an invalid, and the thought wf his real status before the House, made Mr. Weorhees’ simile seem rather ridiculous, ‘The member from Indiana then alluded toucn- ingly to his departure from Congress. Said he, with his voice thrilling in subdued cadences that involuntarily invited moisture to one's eyes, “I am Boon to leave this Homse, never to return,” (Aw- fal pause. Sobs from ihe galleries.) Still deeper gank bis voice as he said, “I shail never return.” Yhe grief in the galleries at this announcement ‘was increased. Im the reporters’ gallery the front row of correspondeats had handkerchiefs to their pyes and forbore to take notes for several minutes, Paniel pleaded well for Brooks, and, in the opinion pf unbiassed persons, it is thought he did his duty AS COUNSEL POR THE DEFENCE. Mis peroration was strictly after the fashion of a tawyer with a desperate case, falling with malice. aforethought upon an umsuspecting jury, in order to steal away theiy judgment and lead them bilnd- sold te an unjust verdict for his client, At the close of Voorhees’ remarks there was faint applause in the ladies’ gallery among the fair ‘ones, but a stern injunction from the Speaker that if the applause Was repeated the galleries would pe cleared checked this outburst of Seminiue feel- ing. Job Stevenson, being kindly granted @ few moments by Judge Niblack, who was to follow Voornees, fell upon the subject tooth and nail for the brief space allotted to him. If he had bad more es more attention paid to Rim and less rancor in bis specch 2 he might have made some points. Jndge Mibisci, Af the closing @f the above-men- tioned member's remarks, yielde@ another portion ; of his hour to Whitthorne, a democratic member from Tennessee. Whitthorne was a surprise. The democratic side had thus far shown itself against purifying Congress, because one of its members was implicated, showing more motives of policy than honesty. THE MEMBER PROM TENNESSEE, Whitthorne is a short man, gray-topped and gray whiskers, tipped at the endof hischin, A little grizzly mustache covers his upper lip. Whether purposely or not, he had removed his collar and tie, and looked as stripped for the fight. His gray eyes Mashed fire as he spoke, He addressed himself to the case of Oakes Ames, and said if Ames was, not perjured where were Garfield and Kelley? He Was in favor ef no scapegoats for the purpose of letting other guilty members escape. He wanted all to come im together. He was specially severe on Sam Hooper, who had been ‘almost ignored at the investigation. He regarded Oakes Ames as only Hooper’s agent for corruption, Hooper seemed startled at this sudden thrust at him. He Was just seated opposite Dawes at this juncturo, but remembering himself in time he cocked his gold eye-glasses on his little stub nose, and buried his white-iocke@ head in the depths of a newspaper, afd never lifted his face out of it until Whitthorne had retired in search of his paper collar his speech was over. At this period of the day there were quite a number of visitors on the floor, and the crowds in the galleries were jammed into @ more solid mass in order to admit some WRIGGLING CURIOSITY SEEKERS who had writhed through the crowd that filled the doorways. Judge Niblack occupied the remainder of his time then with a few careful remarks in de- fence of the report of the committee, His speech was rather of a judicial character, and not more than ordinarily interesting. Judge Bingham was the successor of Niblack to the floor. There was considerable comment upon the arrogance of Bing- ham, whose presumption in thus rising to speak in a case in which he is implicated seemed surpris- ing. When he rose there were quite a number of distinguished visitors present anxious to hear what the flerce old gentleman of Johnson impeach- ment notoriety would have to gay. Senator Vonk- ling sat back, just by the side of Fernando Wood. Back of him was Matt Carpenter, with a soft black hat crushed in bis hand, for the purpose of shading his eyes. Near the central entrance the pyramidal curls of the huge-headed ‘Impeachment Jim Ash- ley” loomed up; while in the throng back of the seats were seen Senator Logan and Postmaster General Creswell. The rubicund Secretary of the Navy mingled with Congressmen, and Beau Hick- man (who was aside show during Johnson’s im- peackment) supported his back in a doorway lead- ing to the cloak room. THE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE SENATE gave the whole discussion their most careful at- tention, for the reason that im a short time the Senate will ve called upon to decide in the case of Patterson, Bingham first insisted that he should not be interrupted, and then he opened the foodgates of his wrath and bitter. ness, He was more voluble than rival huckster women waging war with their nimble tongues, His satire was so keen at times that it threatened the safety of the auricular organs of his audience. He walked up and down, snorting grim deflanee to everybody. He anathe- matized in particular the press who had exposed the corrupt Congressmen and denounced the indigna- tion of the people as only the clamor of the mob. He was specially contemptuous when he came to the consideration of purifying Congress, which, according toJohn A. Bingham, is an impossible task under’ the constitution. He sided with the position of Voorhees and Bygler, that Congress had no jurisdiction to punish the recreant.mem- bers. As he concluded a chuckle was heard— A LOW, CHEERFUL CHUCKLE— from a remote corner just to the left of the report- ers’ gallery. Attention being drawn to that quar- ter, John B, Alley was discovered in a high state of enjoyment, nursing his right leg. Of course, he smiled in his usual deprecating way, and looked humble immediately when attention was drawn to | Lim, Banks closed the debate in a very able speeoh of. an hour and a half in length. He said a wrong impression had prevailed concerning the report. It had acquitted none of the Congressmen; it haa only gone as far as it could under the resolution. If the House wished to authorize more it could do 80. Banks plainly intimated that the other cases before the consideration of the committee merited attention. He made A VIGOROUS PLEA that the encroachment of these vast moneyed pow- ers upon honest legislation be checked. W. R. Roberts, of New York, in short remark hit the most vulnerable part of the report, and interro- gated Banks upon a point to which the latter could make no satisfactory answer. At the begin- ning of Banks’ speech Oakes Ames crossed over to nis side, bringing his bouquet with him and sitting near Banks all through his speech. The vacant space near the Speaker's desk was filled with spec- tators. Banks’ speech was the ablest of the day, and was received with the marked attention it deserved, There remain yet to be noted the re- marks of Mr. Hale, of Maine, who, in a terse, un- answerable manner, vindicated Speaker Biaine from the unjust aspersions cast upon him by the irrepressible Job Stevenson, At five o’ciock the House took a recess until half-past seven o'clock. THE SCENE IN THE EVENING, After the House had agreed to take a recess and old Hoax had gathered to his nose the bouquets which the fair damsel from Massachusetts had sent him, General Butier teid old Heax that he would defend him to the best of his ability. Poland inti- mated that the debate would be brief, as he should cali the previous question. When the doors opened this evening there was a more eager crowd await- ing entrance than at any previous time. The gal- leries were soon filled, the doorways blockaded, every seat on the fioor occupied, and a crowd of hungry listeners gathered about the lobby doors. Blaine opened with his usual hammering with the gavel, and when the attention of the members had | been commanded. Butler arose and talked for half an hour about the jurisdiction of the House to ex- pel @ member for deeds done not in the body of Congress, Immediately in front of him stood the venerable Bishop Poland, and in front of the Bishop, Butler's client, Hoax Ames himself. It was Ash Wednesday night. Visions ef sackcloth and ashes bothered the eyes of the Essex statesman. REMINISCENCES OF MASSACHUSETTS, The days when he wasa member of the Massa- chusetts Legislature, and Butler defended him on certain charges and fought against his expulsion, all came back to the mind ef the hero of Dutch Gap. His was one of those arguments which Choate used to call pettifogging. sounding brass and tinkling cymbals. His client represented forty millions, and must be fortified by all the disingenousness of a special pleader, When the ground of jurisdiction had been traversed, Ben went into the photograph business and took Ames’ negative on the shiny skin of Poland’s head, to which he addressed his re- marks, Poland veiled his face, yet Butler insisted on talking to the few gray hairs under his nose. One might bave compared the scene to a lawyer berating a Judge for a charge to a jury against his client, Then came the explanation of ‘WHAT AMES ACTUALLY DID; at least what Butler said that he did, or insisted he did, in order to make his point clear. The dab- blers in stock trembled for fear that Ames’ counsel Would slip up. Brooks revived his drooping spirits, and every eye was centred on Butler and every ear strained to catch tne explanation to be made in Ames’ defence. Honest Ames them looked up AN HONEST MAN IN CONGRESS, ‘Then came peals of laughter and some applause. The idea of Congress expelling an honest man! Butler rang the changes on “Old Honeavy,” affect- ing Ames to tears amd laughter alternately, Whitthorn, of Tennessee, did not relish the al- lusion to the Adjutant General of that State, who ran away to treason and rebellion with the OF tho Tennessocgnh Nest, Bow looked ag 4 Y resolution. Porter's gallery—at least his eyea were directed to that locality. The press, “that damping engine Of slander and Mibel,” had called bis honest client & Mephistopheles! Just think of it. Butler's client compared to Satan: Then came the defiant remark, “lam God-made, mot a hewspaper-made man.” ‘This was too much for Sam Cox, and he inicjected the remark, "Bug you SC Los wes ar act uke ras faiber ther.” A soentanna to honesty and virtue, \ brasen image of Ames before him concluded Butler's defence of the great shoveller. “WHE END OF THE DEBATE, eras and Eldridge consumed the remainder e evening. At half-past eleven o'clock it was agreed to take a recess until to. morrow, at ten 0" » When, after an hour's de- effort made to of the scemial and the scandalous Ritchie, from Maryland, wanted a resolution adopted to the effect that all of the implicated Congressmen be expelied, This ‘Was scouted, and provoked @ lively scene between Ritchie and Bingham, during which the latter took occasion to call Ritchie ‘a damned fool.” The friends of Bingham interfered and prevented. a further exchange of Bitlingsgate, PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE. Wasnincton, Feb. 26, 1873, After the reading of the journal Mr. PoLanp rose and suggested that there should be a time fixed for closing the debate. Ho faras the committee was concerned ithad no wish to hurry up the debate, but was willing to let it run for the rest of the session if desired. But at the con- ference of the cemmittee this morning it was deemed best to let the House have an opportunity of determining that question, and therefore he would test the sense of the House on @ motion to close debate at half-past four P.M. to-day. Mr. Bixcnam (C. M.), of Ohio, sugested that the vote be taken after the reading of the journal to-morrow, the debate closing to-day, and giving members time to see the arguments in the Globe. Mr, Maxnanp, (rep.) of Tenn., principal speeches to-day other ton minutes. Mr. Have, (fep.) of Me., proposed thatat ten o'clock to- night the previous question be seconded. ‘The Srraxer cut short other suggestions and propost- tions by stating that they were a mere waste of timc, inas- much as it was a matter within the control of the majority; and the Chairman of the Committee (Mr. Po land) could test the sense of the House at any time. Mr, Voorness, dem.) of Ind., took the floor, but yielded: in order that Mr. Ritchie, dem.) of Md., might suggest a substitute, which he wished to offer for the pending. suggested that after the eeches be limited to MR. RITCHTE’s SUBSTITUTE. The substitute was read. It deciares that while there ig no evidence of criminality in the purchase and sale of Credit Mobilier stock by Messrs. Ames, Brooks, Dawes, Scotleld, Bingham, Kelley and Garfield, yet the circum, stances showed a case calling for emphatic condemna- tion, and deelaring as the sense of the body that the transaction was corrupting In tendency, pernicious in ex- ampic and grossly improper, and that the members concerned it deserve the severe censure of the House. rountis, of Indiana, declined to yield ty have the substitute offered, and he also declined to yield toa tation fon the admission of ladies, but fually yielded for the latter. Mr. Beor, Gem.) of Ky., condemned the whole Crédit Mobilier scheme, and deciared those members who were counluant of It ak grossly derelict in their duty, nainlng Hooper, of Magsachisetts, and Mr. Bi ser of Ohio, Who held that stack and Were not inc im these Proceedings and Meo naming Mr. Butler, of Maaache: setts, Who, according to his own testimony before the Wilson Commitee, was the counsel who concocted the scheme, He could seé no difference between the cul- Pability of these men and that of Mr, Brooks 49 ¢ power of expulsion of members for past offences he could = pscribe to that doctrine. Tt fueh a doctrine was to il that ® man’s past misdeeds were always to ‘onerate against hi would never have been an apostle and there would be no chance tor men in the world. The House was making history, and should vote to-day as if there was no precedent in the past and asit it was establishing a rule tor all time to come. He quoted the case of Jolin Morrissey, a gambler aud prize fichter, and yet he took his seat in' the House and no man dared to raise his voice against him. He re- mained during his term of election and was as well be- haved a member as wasever on the floor, The moment that the precedent was set to give two-thirds of the House the right to expel a member whom they did not like that moment the death peal of liberty was struck. At the conclusion et Mr. Keck’s remarks, Mr. ‘p) of Va., moved to suspend the rules and admit ieites to the hall Who had not been able to obtain seats in the gallery. The vote was taken by teliers, ana less than two-thirds ‘Voting in the affirmative the motion was lo Hoar rien that the families ot members be ad- mitted to the ¥ seats in the diplomatic gallery. The Sp: ies axked that the Doorkeeper had re- ¥ fittecn or twenty members of the iplomatic Corps lind presented themselves at the gal- feng an and had not been able to gain admittance. fF. Hoan suggeted that at this late hour there could be_no objection fo filling the vacant places. The Srraker remarked that it gentlemen were ad- courtesy to seats, they were entitled by the (Laughter.) e § mittod by dame courtesy to select their own ume. THE TALL SYCAMORE OF THE WABASH. Mr. Voornexs, of Indiana, then took the floor, and made an arguinent again: @ resolution for the expul- mon of Mr. Brooks. Good character, he said, stood for something in this world, and when a'man had'lived long in a community and won its respect there should be no haste in convictins him when grave charges are brought against him. He argued that there was no evidence of corrupt influence being exercised im the matter, and that ee was a circumstance Heats should’ have its Iracharge were made that @ bargain to as- pk okt a man was entered into it would certainly circumstance to show that no attempt at assassination had been made. So in this case. Where was the record—where was the act—showing that Mr on oks had acted or voted improperly Not ia e com: mitteg submitted no proof of nt, far as Mr. Brooks had. been allowed, “he had “submitted negative proot. What wrong had the public suflered t What evil had Mr, Brooks done or attempted todo? If he had net done it, then Mr. Brooks must have eat in the House brived to do a certain thing and not doing it, Tha’ WAS the showing of the committee. He roviewed ihe te timony affecting ks, and argued that the sta! Inenteof Mr. MeComb liad been airestiy: contradicted. by John B. Alley and Oakes Ameer, and Benjamin F.

Alley, Charics H. Neilson, Benjamin F. Tam and others guilty of perjury, His’ own mind recoiled from the conclusion in that respect to which the comunit- tee had arrived. ORY: TINT. GRANTED. After the hammer fella turther extension of time was ranted to Mr. ‘hees, He intimated that the commit- e had not been very liberal towards Mr. Brooks or given him time to explain away certain matters which reemed to bear heavily against fim. He thought that if there was one case which appealed more than another to every sentient of liberality and kindness it was the case of Mr. Brooks—a man sick and broken in health since his voyage around the world, not broken by a sense of guilt, as he (Voorhees) knew, Dut by the increase of a maiady on him under the nervous excitement naturally produced by his surroundings He read the following LETTER FROM MK, BROOKS to the chairman’ of the committee, complaining of the exclusion of testimony in his favor :— Barons ras Cowmstras Roow, } WASHINGTON, I’eb, 17 ~10 05 A.

APEECI OF GENERAL BANKS. Mr. Bans, (lib.) of Mass,'then rose and iminedjately enlisted the closest attention of the members and audi- Ade opened his remarks by an allusion to the all-ab- sorbing importance of the pending question, as evidenced in the crowded galleries and in the overflowing hall. ‘There wus also present in the hall a hand which they could not see, a voice they could not Lae . spirit inyis- ible, resistlessy, that aan the ce, tha!

For the time in ite story 1b hed met check here, and the ues. for th House to decide wi that... cheek shoul be, temporary. savane nnd without influence, without consequence. or whether it should bea permanent check that should limit aud control, and, perhi pr, ultimately destroy the ovjects and owers of that grea interest. He did not entirely concur rept cour n the rexeomings.of the report of the comumitice, because he was in favor of the simple assertion of the right of the House to protect itself.

The House must protect itself, at least so tar as to maintain its character for decency and for wisdom and for purity, which seemed ‘to be so offensive to the hon- orable gentleman trom Ohio (Mr. Bingham), If it were understood that members ot the House were robber: murderers, blasphemers and men without yyrtne, woud not the intluence and power of the House one, wouid not their laws sink and fail with the failure of ‘he influence and power of the House? 1t was therefore necessary that the House should protect its character, in order to preserve its influence as a law-making power. ‘Was it possible that men of infainous character could be sentto this House and that the other members of the House were obliged to associate with them?! No; there yas no such obligation on them, Mis honorable col- gue Mr. Ames), of whom he spoke only with emotion, placed him in a position where it was necessary for him to speak otherwise than he would like to yeake His colleague had said before the committee that he de- sired so to interest. the members of the House in the great interest which he (Mr, Ames) represented that they would attend to that which was brought be- fore them; and he had done this b: olorable sale of valuable securities worth 36) at 100, His mo- tive was to interest them in the acts which they were to Perform to Induce them tn etvend to thelr own intereste, nt and Mr. Ames had also said that the continuin rest ot himself and thoxe members on whom he ha erated in that way had only been interrupted by the trial. which to take place in, Fhiladelphia, and that as soon as That was settled those Interests would revive exactly as they were before. In proof of the effect ot this influence on members, Mr. Banks quoted from the Globe the report ofan attempt made lust seston by Mr. Negley, of Penn- Sylvania, 10, have a resolution referred to the ‘Judiciary Committee in reference to the interest due by the Pacific Railroad companies, and which had been dc ieated by an objection interposed by Mr, Brooks, of New York.’ He described the conduct of Mr. Ames betore the committee, and depicted him with a sardonic glance, drawing trom his capacious pockets memorandum after memorandum, letter after letter, scrap after scrap, which. fixed thé truth of what he had said. It was impossible for any ono to doubt that MR.

He elted the case of Humphrey arshall of Kentucky, where the Legislature, of that tate asked for his impeachment on the ground of ur; nate, Wedded, by 16 itor, th that it had ad Ho Jur nad of the expulsion of ‘John Ward pe Atkinson, for perjury. he cases hat Mr. Poland had been able to find. One of the penal- ties’ of forgery was that the party was to have his cars and nose slit, and was ny wonder he asked the House if they objected to hav anak, them a man with his ears and noso slit? Caughter:) What must be the sort of case, he asked, which depended on such authorities! There wasno precedent in this country for the position taken by the committee and there was rio precedent in England except in Wilkes’ case, and the record in that case had been expunged as subversive English liberty. He believed that if these resolutions were adopted he would live to see, or his son would live to see, the record ex- punged as SUBVERSIVE OF THE LIBERTIES OF ALL THE PEOPLE.

Thomas Joyce, the costumer at Booth’s Theatre, who was buried yesterday from “the little church,” was avetcran actor, having been on the stage nineteen years. Since the opening of Booth’s Theatre he was the costumer of that establish- ment and his loss is almost irreparable. Mr. John M. Burke, better known as “Dublif Dan,” performed in Carbondale the other evening, and among his other jokes he mentioned an old horse, the property of Peter Loftus, of Carbondale, Of course the people iaughed, but Loftus could not appreciate the joke, and Dublin Dan was bound over in the sum of $1,000 to appear at the April term of court. The Teutonic element on the east side of the metropolis is revetling in the luxuries of a colossal “Black Crook,’? under the title of “Uriella und Satanas.” Itisa mixture of genuine sensations, replete with romantic incidents, and sparkling with all the humorous attributes that combine to render spectacular representations unfortunately 80 much admired. There is, of course, the Evil One to begin with, then scores of handsome queens and fairies, any amount of knights and princes, ptrates and soldiers without number, countless ceurtiers, battertes, castles, ramparts, halls of dazzling splen- dor and no end to the squad of ballet girls. Aside, however, from the characteristic flourishes of popular sensations, ‘‘Uriella und Satanas” is by no means without merit, and the style in which it hag been produced reflects some credit on the entcr- prising directress, Mile.
