Dlsgraoelal Scenes over tbe Electoral Court. rVrom the Cincinnati Codfmercial'a Wuhington

SprcUI.] WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.!

One of the strangest, most intense,.and in some respects the most disgraceful scene that has occurred in the legislative halls of the nation since the formation Of the Govornment was enacted in the hall of the House of Representatives to day, on the occasion of the counting of the electoral votes of the several States for President and Vice President for the ensuing four years.

Thb parallel to tbe scene to-day may be sought in the records of the storoly session of 1360, and by which the Southern Senators and Representatives, wilh tears in their eyes and curses upon thriir lips, broke from the fold of the United Stutes Congress to stake their fortunes in rebeliion also, twolve years ago, and in February, 1857, when the vote whifch placed James Buchanan in tbe White House was counted, and whon pistols and bowie-knives were freely bratMUhed in the facfes of members. The witnesses of these scenes were not merely the French and English Ministers and a whole gallery full of members of foreign legationsbut there were Judges Of the Supreme Court of the United States, there were Cabinet officers, Governors of States, prominent officers of the army and navy, the wives and families of the leading statesmen of the country, there were Government officers and Employes, there were mechanics and laborer?, the high, the low and the middle class in such numbers that not afoot of unoccupied room in the immense galleries surrounding the hall was to be found. The crowds were injectid in by 9uch force through the roomy doors that it was: impossible to make headway Jn any direction save that which was borne by the swaying mass which sought admission. The Capitol has not for years been so full of people as It was to-day. Even the most exciting days of the impeachment trial furnished no parallel. Evety corner was full, and every class was represented, and the Capitol, from early in the morning until darkness intervened, was running over with the representatives of every color and condition. There was an unusually large attendance of members, and more of the distinguished people in Washington than are commonly present. General Grant's family (excepting hia wife) was preterit, Including his children, his father-in-law, and other members of his household and the wife, mother and sister of the Vice President elect were there. Indeed, the entire society of Washington turned out to witness the final formalities of a Prelim dential election.

The monotony of the proceedings was not again interrupted to any extent, until the whole list of States had been gone over excepting Georgia, which had been delayed until the last, in anticipation of trouble. The teal of the envelope was at last broken by Mr. Wade, and the papers handed to Mr. Conklingj who ^egan to look them over, when Mr. Bntler sprang to his feet and objected to the conventionreceiving the vote, at the same time sending to the Clerk's desk his reasons in writing.

At this time began thesceoee-whieh are alluded to above. The Preaident declined to entertain the objections, on the ground that both hotisea had already token definite action on the case of Georgia by the passage of Mr. Edmunds' first reaetatian. Objection was made, and Mr. Drake wanted the Senate to retire, and consider also the case of Nevada, whoee returns

'were irregular. Cries of "too late, too late," came from the Preaident and from all parts of- tbe House. Mr. Butler declared that the House could not be bound by the joint action, and prooeeded to tell why, when the President called him to order. The cry was taken up by Senator! and members, and "oid6r, order," came from every quarter, Mr.. Wade. rapping vigorously with his gavel, but the oonfu* sion increased. The President tried to explain, but could not be heard, and Mr. Bntler again took the floor, showing little courtesy to Wade, and began to ipeak on the constitutionality of something or other, and its effect hereafter. In tne midst of his impassioned oration Mr. Wade said, "The Senate will retire."

Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, cried out, 'VWhat for when the President, with 'emphatic show, of temper, threw down his gavel and saw! the Senate'would retire according 'to law, which raised great laugh, and tbe Senators went to their chambers, where they remained on til after 4 o'clock. There was mnch rambling and discussion during the interval, and an irregular vote was bad and Mr. Butler was sustained by a vote of 117 to 67.

When tbe Senate returned to tbe hall Mr. Wade announced that the joint resolution had been sustained. Mr. Butler snapped back angrily with slurs at the Senate and it* President, insisting upon his objections'. Mr. Wade said the veto would be counted. Mr. Butler, at the top of his voice cried out, "I appeal from your decision."

Mr. Wade—"There is no appeal." The excitement now became intense, and there was the wildest confusion, the President baring DO control over the thoroughly excitd body. Butler again, at the top of bisvpice, appealed from the decision without avail. Saulsbury and' Doolittle sprang to their feet and hurled invectives at Butler Butler hurled them back. Half of the members and specta-tors-were on their feet swinging their arms and yelling for order. Farnsworth tried to have his say and Ingersoll called him to ordsr half a dozen times. Sharp words echoed through the hall from every quarter, mixed with cries of "order," clapping of hands and laughter.

Mr. Butler was wild with rage. Mr. Wade was eool and obstinate^ but incapable of pre«erving order. "Let us have )eace" came from the Democratic side.-— Sutler, with his sleeves rolled up» shrieked that the Senatq ought have leave to go home that the House could take care of itself, and intimating that the Senate and its President were interlopers. The excitement at this point can't.be described. It extended through the entire hall and into the galleries. Only the word "order 1". could be heard* repeated from a thousand )(ps, fjrottt*#very direction.-^ Colfax sprang to. his feet, and, with a voice that could be heard above the terrible roar and din, directed the Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest any member of the House who refuted to obey tfaei orders df the President (The Sergeant sprang into the thickest of the tray, apparently, just in time to prevent a. personal collision between 3fea*rs. IngersoH.and^arniwcrtp. Tllere was littta abatement of the excitement for rome time,.|ut MrH^ade found an opportunity to deolaie the result, and announced that U. S. Grant, of Illinois, had bben elected Prestdent of the United States, and Schuytar Colfax, of Indiana, Vice President of the United States. He then ordered tbe Senate to retire. ...

The Speaker-relumed the chair, and called the House to order when: JCr. Sutler, smarting over his defeat, said he arose to a question of privilege, and submitted a resolution doolaring the action of the Senate and itt President arbitrary and tyrannieal.Upon this resolution be took the floor,-a«d spoke for half an bour as only Butter :can apeak under the s^ verst mental excitement. While confining himself to parliamentary language, he yet found words of the moat cutting and abusive character. He denounced the Senate he denounced Wade he-in-stanced supposed cases which inferred the most dishonorable motives in Mr. Colfax, add hia, word* boiled ,oi$t -seething aqd htsiirfg •Wittr rago, which" be did not attempt to conceal. Mr. Colfax, whose feelings oould only be judged by'his blanched face and trembling hands, asked permission to reply, having previously vaoated the chair to Mr. Dawes, and taken a seat amonp the members^ Mr. Butler declined to give him the floor, and continued to pour out his impassioned eloquence. At last, from sheer exhaustion, he-resumed his seat, and tbe floor was given to Mr. Colfax. Not a trace of anger was visible in hiB voice or manner. Very calmiy and smoothly he began, and for the first time dtiring theday.there was silence ia the Chamber. There was no ^invective, no denunciations in his speech

was dignified, calm, impressive, aad mainly such a speech, indeed, as only, an American gentleman can prbnounce but every period cut to the quick, although not a single harsh word was used.

Tbe House, without coming to a vote on Mr. Butler's resolution, finally adjourned—not, however, before it became nececsary to light the hall.

Mr. Butler moved that after Mr. Shellabarger concluded hia .remarks in opposition to his (Butler's)"resolutions protesting against counting the vote of Georgia, the resolutions be referred to a select committee, apd (p^the report of such committee a full discussion .be had.

This understanding being arrived at, Mr. Dawes took the oftair. Messrs. Wilson, of Iowa, and Pruyn were appointed a committee to inform the President and Vice President of their election.

Mr. Shellaibarger then opposed Mr. Butler's resolntions in a speech. Mr. Sbellabarger prefaced bis remarks by according most sincerely to the gentleman from Massachusetts, that integrity \f purpose and that desire fairly and properly to dispose of tbe important matter before tbe House, which be claimed for himself. It was not wonderful that they had fallen into doubt and trouble' about a matter so newuso undefined, an of whifih-tbey wCrrf 46 dnaided by prer dent.

Shellabarger proceeded to quote sev commentaries on 1he Constitution wFich had any bearing on the question, and summed up the application of his quotations by saying, if Chandler and Kent Vere right, and if the President of the Senate had power to' do the counting, then clearly tbo House was invading his rights in attempting to control that count, except to see that it was honest. L~

Mr. Butler—how aro we to see it? =1 Mr. bhellabarger-The gentleman must go for his answer to Justice Story, who regrets that the Constitution bad not made a detailed pro vision for tbe case.

The gentleman cannot defeat the argument by showing that there may be defects in the Constitution.

If it be not the President of tbe Senate who does thie eonntfog. but the- 'two Houses in joint convention, then I ask,' what privileges of the House have oeerr invaded by the refusal of tbe President of tbe Senate .to recognize the separate vote of the House, which separate vote it bad no authority to give.

He went on to argue tb«t*tbe ^ospurrent resolution in reference to the electoral vote ol Georgia,yas not unconstitutional, and it was copied from a aimiltr concurrent Tesolution adopted at tbetfme of the eUction of President Mnr'.e.

Mr. Thomas related how 22 years ago be bad been a teller to count the vote* when Yan Bur^n was elected hojv a difficulty existed 'in relation to the State of Michigan, and'hoW Henry Clay with his great forosight and learning had anticipated and avoided the difficulty, by preparing and having adopted a concur* rent resolution similar, to. that under which the joint convention acted yesterday.

Mr. Woodward expresed bis regret that the learned gentlemen fVom'Ohio and Maryland (81wilab*rg#r*MrTBbin. as) had bad not been present the other night when tbe concurrent resolution was adopted. It made an argument against

WASHINGTON, Feb. HOUSE

11.

Speaker Colfax stated the first business was the question of privilege pending at adjournment yesterday, and as h^ bad expressed an opinion on the floor he bad asked Mr. Dawes to occupy the chair during discussion. He asked the House to authorize tbe Speaker pro tem to appoint a committee to wait upon the President and Vice President elect and offlci ally notify them of their election.

joint rale were both of tbem vention of the Constitution. He bad raised tbe question of. order yesterday, and If it bad been sustained all tbe difficulties in which the H0n«e And Convention were involved' yesterday would have been avoided.

The Constitution provides expressly that the President of the Senate sbonld count tbe electoral votes- in tbe presence of the Home and Senate.

He said it was. hit duty therefore to simply open and oonnt the votes, tidd their concurrent resolution was in bis judgment an utter nullity.

Mr. Bingham thought the reioiutiOBf of censure wets a prbpositk® that members Of the Hotise ebould -aelemnly declare themselves violaters of law under their oath.
