To-day in Washington has been one Of much
excitement and anxiety, on account of the suppo-
siton that vote would be reached on Il e Texas
question tonight. But lawyers seem like the Pha-
risees Of old, who supposed they were to be heard
for their much speaking" AS members Of Con-
gress, they seem to lose none of this peculiar pro-
pensity for speaking in public.


Mr.. Miller, OF New Jersey, consumed all the
early part of the day. The Senate, as usual, took
a recess until p. M. On the hands of the clock
reaching that figure on the clock face, the Presl-
dent OF the Senate took his seat, and called the
honorable Senators to order Mr.. Bagby from the
democratic State OF Alabama, had the toor.--
Every one was prepared and expected 10 near
powerful argument in favor OF the House resolu-
tlons but what there utter astonlshmeni,
when they heard Mr.. Bdgby rise IN his place and
commence speech against the House resolutions
IN constitutional grounds II a bolt OF thunder
had struck the dome OF the capitol demohshing II
at a twinkling, the surprlze could not have been
more astounding. The news spread through every
part OF the building, uttered by anxious coun-
| tenances, "Texss is lost ~ Baeby has lost us
Texas" " Without his vote the measure cannot
be carried" " He has just said in his speech, he
will not vote for the measure"
