At 1 o'clock a message was received frosss the . Hoifte of Representatives announcing that body had passed a joint resolution making a further ap propriation of $200,000 for the relief of destitute persons in districts over flowed by the Ohio river and its trib utaries, f I Allison . said the- Appropriations committee . would meet and report backttb4 joint resolution m , time f for the action oi the Senate to-day. The joint resolution was then referred to the committee on Appropriations. At 1:40 p. m., Allison, irom the committee on Appropriations, report ed favorably the loufie joint resolu tion appropriating 1200,000 in aid of sufferers by the Ohio floods. It was immediately read three tines and passed by the Senate. The Senate Resumed consideration of thv biB. relating to-National Bank circulation, and Wumb addressed the Senate in regard to it. The rapid extinction of the National debt, he said, was going to destroy the National Banks as media of cir culation. All the measures before the Senate to retain the connection letWeen the banks; and ,, currency were a tacit adrrussion of the fact. He concluded by offering an amend ment providing that whenever the National Banks surrender their cir culation the Treasurer shall issue greenbacks to an amount equal to the surrendered National currency. Bayard and Jones, of Florida, spoke briefly in opposition to Plumb's views. .'. 1 : 1 vote vas then j taken on the kmenddbibnt submitted' bv Sherman, providing that if any bonds deposited bear intere t higher than three per ceno. additional notes should be issued equal to one half the interest in ex cess of three per cent, accruing before maturity. This was voted down, 7 yeas, 42 nays. The executive session adjourned till Monday " ' Housfi. Holman, of Indiana, from the committee on appropriations re ported a ioint resolution making fur ther appropriations of 1200,000 for relief of sufferers by the Ohio floods. Browne, of Indiana, read a tele gram from Richmond, Indiana, ask ing an immediate appropriation for the relief ot the homeless and desti tute people along the banks of the Ohio river. The joint resolution was then passed. Mr. Turner, et. lieoiia, called up the Uhalmera Manning electaon case Its consideration was antagonized by Mr. McMillan, of Tennessee, in favor of the private calendar, but he was unsuccessful, and Mr. Miller, of Penn sylvania, took the floor 111 opposition to the claims 01 Manning.

A long debate ensued, participated in by Uroadhead, bingleton, of Mis stssippL Geo. D. Wise, Van Eaton, of Mississippi, and Bennett, of North Carolina, in support of the minority resolution, and by rotter, Ramsey and Kasson, of Iowa, in favor of the resolutions of the majority, and by aarKsaaie in advocacy ot tne pro posed amendment directing the com mittee on elections to immediately decide the case on its merits. The drearv monotony of the dis cussion was not interrupted by any noteworthy incident until 3 :30, when the previous question was ordered. Then Curtin, of Pennsylvania, took the floor for the purpose of withdraw ing his-resolution for the recommit tal, and he wound up his recital of the reasons which led to this action with the words, "With General Man ning's full consent and approbation I bring him to the speakers desk and ask that the oath of office be admin istered to him on the certificate of the Governor of Mississippi." Suit ing his action to his words he took Manning by the arm, and together they stood at the bar of the House where Curtin presented him and de jandeA.thatAtf-be sworn in as j -Representative under the certificate of the Governor of a loyal and great State. Immediately the House woke up, and (Jalkins, ot Indiana, was ready with a point ot order, that .-kthe House bad referred the case to vi'h.e. cfctimitte ; that committee had reported to the House, and that re port was now under considera' ion The speaker said that he did not think that there was any necessity to decide the question of order be cause the question whether or pot I Manning was entitled to take the ri .r nc - it i ' oaetTHJEQiBCQ was me very question whtcu the' House was now consider ing, and on which the House was about to take a vote. The chairman would not undertake to administer the oath of office to a person claim ing to be a member elect, when the Heuse was considering his right to Manning and Curtin thereupon re ived to their seats amid the deafen ing laughter on the Republican side, which was increased at the remark of Belford: "Ring down Curtin, the I play is over." ine ueoaie was cioseu Dy Rogers, of Arkansas, in support of the minor itjncommendation,; and by Turner, orGeorgia, in" strpport of the majori ty resolution.
