GRANT and LOUISIANA Stormy Debate in the House Great Uncertainty and Doubt. Washington, March 1, 1877. Senate. The recess having expired at 10 o'clock, the Senate re-assembled at that hour, but no legislative busi ness could be transacted, the objec tions in the Vermont case having been disposed of last night. The Senate awaits the action of the House ia that matter. House. All bills that have recently passed the Senate, removing political disabilities, have passed. The call of the House was moved "or the purpose of delay, but the Speaker counted the House and found quorum. The roll-call was demand ed, to verify the Speaker's count. He said further proceedings under the call of the House were in order, under the rules of the House, but not under the electoral law. The Speaker was not responsible for the law. Walling dis claimed any reilection on the Speaker, but demanded the roll-call, so would make his motion for a call of the House. The yeas and nays were taken on the motion for a call of the House, and resulted, yeas, G8 ; nays, 169. This skirmish occupied one hour and a quarter. It was followed by a motion to reconsider. Pending this, the Speaker ordered payers, and the legis- ative day of Thursday began. After the journal was read, Poppleton claim ed that duplicate returns from Ver mont had been properly made to Ferry and Vermont should go to the commission. A half dozen roll calls are possible under the proceedings in thi connec tion. The 68 are determined to die game, whick it is thought they event ually .must. No committees this morning. All interest centres in the House. There is intense excitement over the roll-call and to dispense with the reading of the full journal, under suspension of rules, which is allowable -by a two-thirds vote, during tbe balance of the session. If the minority find themselves short of a third on this call, they will be helpless, unless they recruit, or by strategems, compel the House to sus pend the rules continually, on minor points. On a motiom to suspend the rules' ''and" suspend the reading of the journal, the vote stood, ayes, 175; nays, 85. Gen Gibson, Col Levy and Capt Ellis, of the Louisiana delegation voted aye. This call is preliminary to Pop- pleton's motion regarding the Ver mont returns. The further count may be delayed several hours, unless forced by resolutions to proceed, which may be passed under a suspension of the rules. It has transpired that the du plicate returns from Vermont were filed with the Clerk of the Court, whose duty it was to forward it. The minority insist that the Senate shall meet and open the certificates from that State tendered now, or send for the.one which, by legitimate preceed ure, should be in Ferry's box. Speaker Randall rules, that Ferry, in refusing to read, but carrying away with him the duly authenticated pa per affecting : the election ia Vermont, acted wrongly, and it is competent lor this House to-ldemand the return of theDaoer. No resolution to this effect is ponding." ' " ; 7; - .. The House seems perfectly uncon trollable. The minority demand their Vermont paper, and the Speaker rules that the motion to suspend the rules, in order and refuses to entertain ; the appeals. All the members are on their feet, excent those who are on their desks. - - Randall has just said : The Chair is determined that the gentleman shall take their seats. It will not submit any longer to this disorder, applause but ' disorder continues. The ; mace officer ;has : paraded over. the. House, and th 6 members are seated,!: and the Speaker has ordered visitors from the floor. bpeaker Randall, after having the ruies rea.a, saia : . "rue unair is re late; 'the Sargeat-at-arms will do his duty." The cloak room, lobbies, and all approaches to the House are clared, and the vote is now progress ing on the motion to suspend the rules and proceed with count. It is quite likely that instead of the House certifying the returning board of Louisi ana to court, for punishment, they will be turned loose. A two hour's debate oh Vermont has commenced, after which the pro ceedings for the production of the necessary papers from Vermont will be in order. Midnight. The Star says : Ex-GotEB Powers, of Mississippi, who has just arrived in this city, stopped on his way and had an interview with Gov Hayes as to his probable Southern policy. Gov Hayes assured this gentleman that he has not written a syllable, nor authorized any one to indicate what course he would pursue in the South in the event of his inauguration further than was set forth by his letter of acceptance, and that all reports relating thereto are unauthorized so far as he is con cerned. Supreme Court : Granger cises de cided to-day adversely to railroads and the right of the State legislatures to regulate the rates of freight accorded. The Tribune's Washington dispatch says : It is undoubtedly true now that Grant intends as soon as Hayes is offi cially declared to be the President elect to modify the orders to Gen Augur so as to require him no longer to main tain the xtatut in quo in New Orleans, and to ue the United States troops stationed there only for the purpose of preventing bloodshed. This policy has been determined upon by the President in opposition to the advice of some members of hia cabinet, but it is under stood to have the approval of Gov Hayes' most intimate friends now in this city. The Republicans are greatly divided in regard to this Louisiana policy; and some cf them have already been to the White House to protest against it. Captain Ramsey's battery, Second Artillery have teen ordered here from Fort McHenry. The following has been received : Washington, Feb 28. Nothing can Sostpone the regular declaration of ayes beyond to-morrow. I think the appropriation bill will also pass. (Signed) Wm M Evarts. House. During the debate on Ver mont Hewitt stated that he received a package officially addressed to Ferry in December, with a letter atating that the duplicate han been addressed to Ferry by mail. Hewitt had no doubt Ferry had had his mail copy until he denied it. Hewitt then tendered the package to Ferry, which Ferry refused to re ceive. Hewitt then in joint session handed it to Ferry. Afterwards Hewitt went to the clerk's desk with Senator Enmunds to see it. Ferry and his secretary regarded it a personal paper and carried it away. Mr Garfield caused to be read a letter from Mr George Harn, Secretary of the Senate, stating that he did while in joint committee yesterday, put in his pocket the duplicate return from Ver mont, but upon being advised by the President of the Senate had received it. He took the return from his pocket 1 and laid it on the table in the presence of all the tellers. When the debate was ab nit half through a page from , the Senate Committee into the House with the return he took it to Mr Hewitt but - that gentleman declined to receive it The Page declined to state where he got it, who sent him with it, to whom he was instructed to hand it, or anything ; connected with his custody of the paper A resolution was then offered by J Proctor Knott, that the duplicate re turn from Vermont should be -opened by the President of the Senate in the presence of the two Houses, and if found to be a genuine certificate that the same together with all the certifi cates shall be referred to the Electoral Commission, that if the Senate refuse to meet in joint convention for that purpose, that the House notify it that it will not be ready to receive it until itjjdoes. The resolution was lost by a vote of 116 to 148. Mr Hopkins, of Pennsylvania, then introduced a resolution directing that the President of the Senate open the certificate. It was in all respects the same as tbe resolution just voted down with the exception of the words that the House will not . meet the Senate until it acquiesces therein, were omit ted. Yeas 116; Nays 148.

During the debate Mr Stone who was one of the tellers stated that he saw the Secretary of the Sen ate- throw the nackare under the table among .the rubbish. Stone notified Hewitt. He ebsequently saw the Secretary take the package from under, the table and put it. in his pocket.-.:: g' r ''::;;;VS i ' Senate and House still in : session. .The fobbed 3 Vermont returns are are handled shrewdly by the'irrecon cilables. . Nothing but their ' formal production by Mr -Ferry, which his frienes think would be disgraceful, will satisfy there. ' X-.'. . i: The Star intimates' that. , the ' Presi dent will not accept as conclusive any irregular count and proclamation by the Senate. If the electoral law fails, he will not allow Mr Ferry's doubtful powers to avert the hazard of a choice between Conkiing and t Morton, follow ed by a new election. ; The outlook is dreary. J In illustration of the character of the debate: Wilsonf - Iowa said, if the House intended to execute the law it would be absolutely necessary to adopt a resolution cutting off all filibuster ing. Walling replied, when fraud is law, filibustering is patriotism. Han cock said, traitors neyer practice patri otism. Vote in the House finally reached that the vote of Sollace should not be counted. Vote 219 to 22, the republi cans deeming it best policy to vote for it. No prospect for a joint session for some hours. His Fraudulency Orates.-Likens Him self to Abe Lincoln and Beasts of His Rattles in War. Newakk, O., March 1. A halt in the train allowed Hayes to say : My Fellow Citizens ; I appear to say a few words in bidding good-bye to you. I understand -very well the un certainty of public affairs at Washing ton. I understand very well that pos sibly next week I may be with you again to resume my place in the Gov ernor'a office and as your fellow citizen but I also understand that it ia mv dutv to be at Washington, prepared to es. sume another Position hierher and more responsible and with more diffi cult duties. . I have thought as I look ed upon this great audience and as to day I gaze on the people who throng ed our route to this depot of a similar occurrence sixteen years ago. A little less than 10 years ago I marched down High 8tre t with a thousand men to pass t the East and to the South to do what we could to restore the Union of the States and re establish the authori- cy of the constitution. Cheers. 1 In that work we were eminently success ful so far as it was possible to be suc- ful by force of arms, I am not here to say a word in disparagement of what was accomplished by the brave men who went out with me from different parts of the country of juy comrades. One third and over never returned to their homes. They 'peri-hed in dis charge of their duty that the republic might aye, but there was something force could not do. . We .would have our Union to be a union of hearts, and we would have our constitution obeyed not rnerely because offeree that com pels obedience, but obeyed because the people love the principles of the con stitution. fLong continued applause. 1 And to-day if I am called, to the work to which Abraham Lincoln was called 16 years ago; it is under brighter skies and more favorable auspices. Applause. I do hope, I do fervently believe that by the aid of divine providence we may do something in this day of peace by works of peace, towards re establish ing in the hearts of our countrymen a real, a hearty attachment to the con stitution aa it is, -and to the union as it is. :: Got Hayes Speaks on the Situation- Has not Resigned' the Governor ship. Columbus, March 1--Gov Hayes had a reception last night, and leaves at noon to-day for Washington. He made a brief speech, and after speaking of local affairs and old . associations, the Governor proceeded t 1 4As for; myself and family, we go perhaps to return in a few" daVs to occupy our- accustomed place in, this community.. Possibly, we go to other scenes and other duties, not to meet you again. .' In that event I wish to say as Mt Lincoln ' said on parting with his friends at, Springfield sixteen years ago, that, 'I trust you will pray that we may have that Divine as sistance and guidance, without which I cannot succeed and with which I can not fail.'" ,: Gov Hayea will not resign the Gov ernorship at once.
