THE END NEAR AT HAND An Ail Night Session Avoided by a Compromise. a FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wasuixctox, Feb, 28, 1877. ‘The count has at last got to Vermont, and only three States remato—Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin. ‘The South Carolina caso was desperately filibustered all day by afew democrats in the House, who man- aged,asthey have done on previous occasions, to waste the greater part of the day’s session in parlia- mentary motions and discussions upon them, disputes with the Speaker, whom they tried to bully until.bis patience was sovorely tried, and finally, in an adroit scheme, by which they managed to get a vote on amendments to the motion to concur tn the commission’s report. But at this the patience of the House broke down and there was a determina- ‘tion to meet this bullying squarely by sitting all night, if necessary, to proceed with the count, Mr. Wood Presented this alternative to the filibusters, whereupon they surrendered and agreed to go on with business. South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas were, therefore, got out of the way in joint session, between six and seven o'clock, and then Vermont came up and with it a ridiculous scene. A SCENE OVER VERMONT, The Vice Presiaent calling for objections, Mfr. Howitt remarked that what purported to be a second certifl- cate had been sent him by mail. The Vice Prosident said he had received but one, whereupon the inevita- blo Springer, whose voice has got to bea terror anda bore to the House, arose with a paper, which he wildly flung to the breeze, and demanded to have read. The Vice Presidents asked him if it was an objection, but Springer vehemently declined to say what it ‘was; ho wanted it read. The Vice President Femarked that if it was an objection it would » be received; if not, under the law it could not be. Soringer for somo time refused to say what his paper was, out furiously geaticulated, and as be has sound Bangs bo made a good deal of noise. At last be was persuaded by somo friend to own that it was not an objection, but that hewould like to muke it so, and She joint meeting, with extreme good nature, consider- ing the amount of useless and unparliamentary annoy- ance he had inflicted on it, allowed him ten br fifteen minutes to torn his paper into an objection, Thereafter two other objections were olflered, and then Springer, having got his wind back, bogan again demanding that tho Vico President should open Mr. Hewiti’s paper, on the round thas it was acertificate, In the midst of his Aarangue the Senate rose to rotire, and as the:Sena- tors filed out of the yu Springer flung his arms, cyes and legs wildly about, and, for the twentieth time to- day, “‘appeaicd to his country.’?
