Counting the Electoral Yoto-Ex-citing Scenes in Congress Yesterday-A Fiery De bate on the Admis sion of Geor gia's Yote. The N. . IVwidi correspondence Irom WaaDiugt-ou as: So soon as Wade declared that the tellers most read the total vote, (Jener.il Butler toig to a point of order, that the tlouc hod decided thai the vote or Georgia should not bo coumed. and be asked tbe Chair to rass upon that point f order, aud direct that the heuato roiiie to consider it. Butler !poke with cr at tioipc and emphasis. Thunder of "Question," "Question, Order," "Order," 'Mr. President," "Air. Ppeaker,' "Question," resounded through the Jloube, while the naileries toots up the sounds and fceut them back with audible comments and contemptuous laughter and leers. In the m.dht of all this Babel let looie. the tenuous treble ot Wade wea heard declining to receive Butler's question of order. Bitler boiled back from the very depths of hi throat, "I appeal from the decision. " Wadit refuted to entertain the appeal- Then Butler bowled out of his seat Into the aisle, dclioerately rolled up his cuffs, threw back I1I9 head, and was regarded by the Houpe as the East Indian regards his Idol they knew that he was urrly, but felt that ho was great. In a few words of intense bitterness he called on the House to sustain the representatives ot the people against being trampled on. and he looked the very incarnation of bate, spite, and malioo, though perfectly cool withal. Tut scene at this point baffles dcBcription. A hundred men were on their feet: a hundred tones thundered at old Ben Waie: as many more halloed at But ler; the House was 1 rat tic, and Butler and Wade were the personal devils who h;id invoked and were trlng to ride the storm into directly onposlte courses The contaaiou of revolt spread. Innersoll, Farnsworth, Kelly, Waehbnrne, Van Horn (Mo.), banks, heUabur per, Pike, Lynch. Boutwell, Judd, Jones, Eidrldpe, Woodward, aud score of other?, were on their leet jelling discordantly, aud de manded "question" with one breath aud "order'1 With the next. Wade waj nowhere. He was an atom hurled by a hurricane. Tbe gavel with which be pounded made no uoie, and was only a little hammer shaken against a mighty tem pest. At tbls point a voice deeper than all the noise, a voice profound as the buss of Beecher's big organ, a voice pitched iu tho tone of command, rose upon and larly conquered the House to silence. With that voice, which was the poetry ot the Philadelphia Convention, Senator Diolittle demanded that the votes be read, and Wade fell back as sud denly as a horse on his haunches, who feels the hand of a master, and ordered Coukling to read the votes. Conkling began, when Butler, Ingersoll, and Van Horn continued their pro tests, drowning the nasal tones of the New York Senator with all kinds of motions and criea. The storm was brewing aaain, and no one could fail to see that it miaht end iu literal violence. Bee Butler hissed out, "1 move that the Senate have leave to retire," at Which there was laughter, aud the joint convention became a circus agnin. Butler further moved that the Sergeant at-Arms remove all the interloporsfromthc floor. More laughter and cat calls. Tho Senators (lushed, and some ot them rose to reply or to retire. Speaker Col fax, sitting ou the right of Wade, got up and said: 'The ergcant-at-Arui.s will arrest all members ot thc.Bouse who do not respect the rul ings of the Preside tt, from whose decisions there lies no appeal." ( reat sensation and a short ttcDce.) While Butler subdded, Ingeraoll and Van Horn kept up their loud piote&ts. Mr. Old way. the Setgeant at-Arnis,pioceededtotbeai, and Mr. Ingersoll satdostn, while Mr. Van Horn was understood to threaten to cut Mr. Ordway ir. two if he laid a hand on htm. Partial order, however, was restored, aud Mr. Conkling read the totals, with Georgia hvpothetically allowed tor, which reading Mr. Wade repeated, and then proclaimed that Grant and Colfax were President and Vioe President for four years Irom March 4th next, in the usual form. At this point there was a condition ot suppressed f ncers aud a general spirit of audible contempt oi taining. Tue voice of Wade was not even listened to. Everyone was thinking of the aceues iust pasd and waiting for the next turn of the tcrew. When in this decorous aud dignified manner the election of Grant was announced, Wade, the marplot, completed the farce as follows: "The Senate having finished the business which brought tUeui Bere, the joint oonvntion will retire to the Senate Chamber."' In this blunder was evident the whole Inculpation which had b?ca harged by Butler on the other house that Mr. Wade was overruling and disrcffardiug the rules of the Representatives, and that this was the business" which bad brought the Senators theie. Tbe confounding of tne benate as aud with tho Joint Convention was an unhappy ' thought, which Intensified the mirth aud tbe chagrin. The Senate then retired with as much dignity and expedition as tnuy could com mand under the insults wnicu bad been heaped upon tbt'in. , , p 1 1 1 1 1 A ne sequel 01 me row iu ine 1 wo uaiuuers was quite different. The Senate merely ap pointed Mr. Morton to inform Grant und Colfax of their election, and adjourned. The House was evidently in lor business; Butler wasbotliu j. No sooner bad the Ust Senator's coat-tails vanished tbiouph the main door thau he was on bis feet screaming "Mr. SpeaKer" with all bis might. Mr. Coltax rceoguued him, disre- fardtng several others who wanted the oor, anil then Butler sent to the Chair, as a question of privilege, a resolution cen tring Wade for his mllng on his resolu tion By consent, Mr. Colfax uiiMie a statement, ltt very moderate teims, regret'ing the scene and sustaining the rulings oi Wade as being tbecnly ones he could wake under the joint rules. Butler theu spoke lor forty minutes, very earnesily, declaiing that as things now stood Hther IlousJ could block an elec tion for President by refuting to allow what VOt s they dinliked to be eouuted. and as Wade Jtaied be mhrht ha arbitrarily declared Pejmour t-kced after Hew York and-New Jersey had been counted, and theu refusml to enter ain an aopeal from his decision, only revolution being tueu a resource to rlnht the wrotp. He iimni'ievined on Oolrav's srdrtottte &etgcant-at-Arui, saying that in We joint eonveiiiiou Co I fax was no more than. member of the Houye, and bad no more right to orJer that officer than ho (Bntloi) hu I. More over, Colfax had divresrsrded the wishes of the House, as th Hnsn t od by Bailor. He rid that Diioelu the British Parliament the mem b is detailed twelve strong ouea to bold down the Sptaker in his chair to make hun do his wo' It, aud that the Soeaker should have ordered the constabulary of the House, not on iu members, but upon the Inter- V Mrs. the Senators, who intruded after the brondest hints had been i;lveu them to retire, ai the tto'Jt.e wanted to consult by nxd f t themtelven.

Leaving Mr. Uawes in the chair, Mr. Colfax replied In direct, severe, and very piir'iamentsry tfrme, repelling Butler's hints and vindicating his worthy uncle. The mem b'fs all left their scats nnd crowded around Col ax and Butler very thickly. Tbe sympathy of the House was with Colfax personally, and yet aualnst Wado In every respect, and iu that direction was with Butler. An adjournment cnrit'd the ufTair over till to-morrow, when the division wiM continue, hca lod by Butler 011 one hand and Colfax on the o her. Relative to the temporary dlvolut'on of the joint convention, for the purpose of allo.vlng ench house to decide upon accepting or rej"ct Ing the vote of Georgia, the New YotK Ihiurta correspondent says: Each Senator bud a different idea as to the question that had occasioned their heparute tension. Ediiuniii., Slieimau, Howe, Conness, Conkilnu. Tiiunbull, Morton, liooliltlc, lluu druks and Grime to nij stilled the question that Mi. Wade was well nigh bewildered. Couklinir overhauled Ms (llobv and quoted precedents. Trumbull iotoi ted. Anicndiuent after amend ment was hiu led at poor Ben Wade: he was f-howered with questions, points ot order und requests to explain what was before the enate. People in the palleiies lauahed ou rlgiitat the conlufion Hiul variety of opinion that pre vailed. Whenever the President essayed to speak he was interrupted ly li iilt-n do.u l-'enators asking hal!'-a-do.en different tlnniiH. Under the circumstances he could only handle his gavel in feeble attempts to luduce some order, and Senators would doubtless irive bceu wrangling until now aud old Wade pounding his desk, were It not lor the persistence of l'eiry, of Co 11 nee tic nt, who, by contnued efforts to get a declMun from tbeCbatr, finally induced his brother Sruators to let President Wade decide something or another. Mr. Wade stuck substantially to his position taken in the Home, aud was sustained by tho Hennte. Thus each house arrived at a different result, and the news of the action of e i.h had been communicated to the other. Tois was a pretty piece of business altogether, and, of course, a rumpus was anticipated. The specta tors were on the tiptoe of txcitemeut. What would como next? was the Inquiry in every mouth. The Senate acaln ross ana went over to the House. On arriving they were stopped at the door, the Representatives bslng just then voting on a question to reconsider tlftir own action. Tbe voting could not be stopped, and the Senators therctbre had to wait outside like a lot of people about the entrance of a theatre, watching tor the doors to open. The voting Dually ceased and the Senators were let in. Then followed the worst confusion, but the liveliest excitement of the day. President Wade took the chair uud announced the determination of the Senate. Butler, who had thus far been victorious, now was beaten, and sought to cover his rout by assuming a defiant air. Tue scene which followed may be Bummed up In one word extraordinary. Butler seemed determined not to stand by the decision of tbe presiding officer, and was urged on by his friends to resistance. He appealed from the Chair's decision. The Cbatr said it eould not entertain the appeal, but, lotto voce, remarked that "the gentle nan from Massachusetts might appeal and be d d." Had not Speaker Colfax interposed iu his vfgorons way, there is no computing what mleht have becu results. The New York Times1 correspondent says that after the overruling of Butler's objections to the admission of the electoral vote of Georgia: Butler grew black in the face, aud, regardless of all attempts to 6ilence hi in, demanded to be heard. Scores of members sprang to their feet, each with a point of order. The gavel of the nresldiug officer rapped for silence in vain. Butler elevating his voice tbove the din, still demanded that his appeal should be heard. At every demonstration he made, Sauls bury, of the fcenate, well soased with liquor, sprang from his seat and objected. Ingerboll, and othor members of the House, stung by what they believed to bo the Senate's iusult in uttcmptin.; to overrule the House decision, remained on their feet aud acted as faithful allies of Butler. The nproar increased. Doolittle demanded, In tones of thunder, which seemed by their vory volume to force their way into and clear up confused miuds, that the only thing In ordet bhould ne proceeded with to wit, the declaration of the vole as provided by the concurrent reso lution of tho two houses. Storms of ob ject It-iis and cries of order proceeded from Butlir and his lollowcif. Banks sought m vain to make a sucgestion, but was bileneed by cries of order from the Senate side. Butler still kept his leet, growing moio insolent every moment. He demanded that the Senate be given leave to retire th"u , that nothing be done until the House got rid of "those intei loners," pointing to Sumner, Fes seuden, aud the res', of the Seuate. This dis graceful language, coupled with his violent conduct, pulling up his bleeves as if he was in for a tree tight, increased tho uproar to such a pitch that Speaker Colfax sprang to his feet aud peremptorily ordered the Sergeant-at-Arois to iirrcst any member ofithe Honse who refused to obey the decisions of the presiding officer of tho joint convention. Mr. Oi'dway ut once advanced up the aisle where Mr. Ingersoll was etaudir.g, still vociferating, and placed him under arrest. Butler dropped into his sent like lead. But cries of order, cat calls aud yells still continued, during which Mr. Conkling begnu to read the result, as recorded .by the tellers. At first he could trcarcely be heard because of the disorder, but the-mandate of the Sneaker bavins becu obeved. and the nroximltv tof the Sereeatit at-Arms to Butler keeping him still, order was gradually restored, .and by the time Air. Lonming nan concluded matters were compuiatively quiet. Opinion of the New York lres. Proin the Tribune. The ceremouv of counting the electoral bal lots yesterday was m ured by a most unseemly wrangle a picture ot which may be louna in the unusually vivid and graphic iciort of the Associated Press. Whether, as au abstract proposition, the vote of Georrrla should or should not have been counted, it is very clear that the President f the joint convention acted witnout the authority ot the House, in instruct ing the telleri to Include It in their reckon ing. It is, however, equally clear that. although manifestly in deeper water than was good for him (speaking after the manner of pailiamcntarinns), bis actlou nevertheless re- bunea in aeubbtautial enforcement of tbe rule concerning Ceorgia, adopted by the concurrent vote of tbe two boubes a few days aeo. That rule, as he himself tersely put It, was that if the vote ot the State ot tatorrfia did not alter the result ot the election it mieht bo counted, and If it did alter tho result it was not to be counted. The whale affair Is ot slight Importance, so far as the present case Is couoerned, but of too grave import as a precedent to be left In its present loose jointed state. From the World, The scenes attending the counting of tho electoral vote, as demioted in our Wahintou despatches, cannot fail to mautlo with shame l ho cnecK 01 every Auitricau iivntu, uum Toienlftv.

But not 80 was it yesterday. The process of counting tho electoral votes, of which a majority was known to have been cast for a Presidential candidate whose motto was "Lt u hate peace," was made dls- graceful by the wrangling of radical Senator! and llcp esciitatlves over the question ot cxoludiiM the votes of two Sta'es, of which one was of the original thirteen States In the Union. It not enough that seven 8 ates should bafc tnea permitted to vote for President only on coidi tionstho most humiliating; not enoushthit three States were not allowed to particlpa'o in the election; but au attempt most be mile to relect the electoral vote ot" Georgia and Louis tana. It was fitting that the mau toprop)so tbe rejection of I ouisiana's vote should bo Mullins by namo and a Representative from TerneC8ce; quite as fitting was It that Bti'ler of Mas-aohuetts should exert him self to the utniot to prevrut the reception ot the vote of Georgia. Tho debate on the question was as sadasitftas lone. True, the men who urued exclusion were bea'.eu at la-t but the details ot the struggle levea'ed a spirit which betokens anything but peace. Suit is that the two States n.en'loned had cat their votes fer Seymour nnd Blair; had they volel tor Giant nnd Colfax, no such struggle would have occumd. Comment on such a proceeding is unneces sary. The graphic report which our news colnmns present not only tells the tale, but poiuts the moral.

You could not tempt me out of tuts place. Suppose they had offered nio the Senatorship of the Uuited States: do you suppose I would have accepted it 1 Never I never I I do not expect to b tried. It is not tbe style of men that they aro after now. They do not look into churches a'id pulpits for public men to day. But were they to do it, there would be no temptation in it. There could be ni temptation iu it. Do you suppose I could be bribed out of the pulpit if Brown Brothers offered mo a full half-partnership in their business? Never! There is not money enough In ail the Rothschilds' coffers to bring me tho happiness that I hae in your confidence and generous support, and tbe liberty which I have ot discharging my con science by fiee fpeech iu jour midst. I tell you, there is a secret in living to do good. There is a secret In fldel.ty to men's consciences, and In that sympathy which cau appeal to God and say, "Thou knowestthat I love my country; thoa knowest that I love my fellow-man; thou knowest that I love thee, aud that my whole life, from core to circumference, and from circumference back to core again, is in this blessed work of reconciling men to God, and thus building them up to Christian virtue and purity." More of happiness than you cau extract Irom wealth, or honor, or pleasure Itself, you can I say to every youog man who is rightly etidowed, and who has a heart that beats tor this world extract from the sphere of the Christian minister. You never will hud a nobler sphere than that. If you come for the sake of honor, if you come for the sake of sup port, keep away ; but if you love the work, and are willing to take it through good report aud through evil report, there is cot 011 this earth another calling that delights as it does to be an ambassador for Christ, aud to be a friend of man among men. Here is a place where a man, humbling him self, becomes a leader. Here is a plane where a mat), throwing bis life away, finds it. The pulpit is above all other places on the earth. It is iih'her than the law. higher thau tho Senate, higher than the Governor's seat:, higher than the Presidency. And it is open to al1. You can come if yon love tbe business, and bere you will find joys that care cannot ruffle, aud remunera tions that time itself cannot tane from you. RAILROADS. Improvement Along the If nduon. The Troy, N. Y., Time of last eveuing says: The purchase by the Reussclaer and Saratoga Railroad Company of tweuty-one acres ot land, lying uorlh of Tibbits s'.reet and just south of Powerb' grove on Green Island, has already been noticed, but the improvements which sujh purchase toreshsdows are scarcely understood by tbe public. They involve an expenditure of at least $260 000 by the company, and will result in very ina'erial advantages to the con venience and business interests of the rail road corporation as well as of tae public at laipe. The eastern portion of the land borders ou the Hudson, and affords the finest kind of gravel, which the company will uso in ballast ing their read bed und lor Ihe purpose ot fi'ling iu a dockage. As soon as tho ground cati be prepared, the work ot erectiug new and exten sive machine and repair shops will be com menced upon it. Tbe present shops are to be torn down and removed. It is rumored that the compauy will also erect locomotive works on the new site, aud will heieafter construct all the engines used upon their road, but we believe this has not been fully determined as jet. In addition to this laud the company have also purchased a large number of lots north of the Central Railroad and east of the arm of the Mobawk which empties into the West Troy basin. It is proposed to dock this arm from tho Central Railroad bridge to Gilbert, Bush &Co.'s car works, so as to enable the transsblomeut of freight from the railroad to canal barges and vice tprso without the necessity ot cartage for this purpose running a track Irom their present road down to the dock aforesaid. It Is under stood the improvement will be commence! as soon as the weather will permit. CAlifbrnla. The San Francisco Bu'le'ln says the new year opens favorably to all the leading interests of the State. While the rain-lall has not reached tbe average quautity, it has been sufficient lor the wants of tbe farmer, horticulturist nnd miner. While grain is still the tnvorito ;ron there is yet much doing to diversify agriculture. and the wider planting ot viues, of mulberry groves, of sorghum, aud the arrangements mak ing to exooriuient with rico 10 the tuie lana.-i, show that the prosperity of the State is not to be always jeopardized by dependence on a hingio great staple. There is no abatement in 'tho zeal for railroad builolng. Witn the recent completion ot tno Culi'ornia Pacific irom Valleiu to Sacmraeoto; the opening of a through line from Vallejo t3 Cnlistoea. and the. completion ot fifteen miles of the Southern Paciric between San Jose and Gilroy, theie are now over four hundred and fiftv miles of railioa l in practical ooeratlon In California. 'Ihe Western Pacific, Irom Sacra mento to Oakland, is likely to be completed by mtdsummer. Tracklaying has bgun between Sacramento and Htockiou, und graliug forces are at work at Llvermore Pass and Alameda Canon, the only plaos where heavy grading occurs on tbe route. This road will add about one hundred aud thlrtj-six miles to the number Hiieauy in operation.

Annual Keport or the NtAte I.nnntle Jionptmi. Prom the annual report for the year 1868. of the Trustees and Superintendent ol tho State Lunatic Hospital of Pennsylvania, situated at Hsrrisburg, we glean the lollowlng facts and figures: On January 1, 1808, tbe number o patients In the hospital was 340; males, IRS: females, l; admitted daring tho year, 180; males, lOd; females, 77; dltchnrecd during tho yer, 1M; males, 86; females, 78: of those discharged, 47 were restored, 37 improved, 65 stationary, aud 25 died. Tbe number retnainiu in tho hospital January 1, 1869, was 356: males, 202, females. 164. Tbe whole number under treatment in the course of the year w-is 620. From this s ate mint it will be seen that tae wards of the hos pital have been full; but those lor the men have been crowded during the whole year; an I s large a number has oeen acconmodnte l com fortably only by the u e of tee rooms attacled to each ward, designated infirmaries, which have been built durieg tbe last two years. Oi those vbo have been treated in the hos pital there were: MnU.

Tne lowest numher of men at any period ot the year was 185, aud the highest number 208, out for tho greater part of the time the number fluc tuated between 196 nnd 202. The lowest number ot females was 151, and tbe highest number 171. Tbe ave raee number In the hospital was a fraction short of 369. Concerning tbe life and habits of the Inmates in the hospital the following Is said: Tbe meals are served at regular hours, are plain, substantial, and well cooked, of such character as will be nutritious, and calculated to build up the health and strength. Special provision, ot course, is made for those whose delicate health and appetite require particular modes of treatment. Regular out door exercise Is enjoined whenever ihe weather aud tbe walking will permit; and a carriage affords fo those females who are not so able to walk, all the exercise they may need, with a ereater variety of scenery than they oould obtain by walking. Every evening during thoc months when the evenings are long something is provided to entertain aud Instruct all who will avail them selves of the means thus provided; but many are careless and indifferent, and require to be urged to exert themselves to take au interest in snch matters. The great difficulty is to induce tbe majority of patleut?. more particularly those wnose minds have been for some time disturbed, to engage in anything which requires aay bodily or mental exertion. On the oabbath service is held regularly every morning, at which all con be prebent who may so desire, and every evening at 8 o'clock religious ser vices, consisting of the reading of a chapter in the Bible, slneing and praver, are held, to which all are invited, but none obliged to attend.

So tar from being suppreseen, the insurrection, wh ch wai long confined to the eastern end of the Hand around Bayamo, 400 miles from Havana, seems steadily spreading westward towards the Ouoan metropolis. Tne startling Intelligence readies us that outbreaks have ooourred almost simul taneously at Santo IBspirltu, mote than halfway from Bayamo to Havana; at Cienfucgos, ou tbe southern ooast, still nearer to Ilnvana, and In direct railroad communication with it; nt Trinidad, another point on the Smtheru coast only a little further to the eastward, and . . ... ... .1 1. nt points oetweeu vi.ia uiara aim eagua ta Grande, on the North-coast and still nearer tne capital.

Feb. 11.-With the return of the morning tbe excitement of yesterday has to a certain extent subsided, and the members of the House, who yesterday followed Butler's mad leadership, oegin to see their mistake. Butler himself is as persistent as ever, but It is doubtful he will have as many supporters when hhi resolution comes up to-day as be had yesterdiy. Members now say that Butler misrepresented the oase, and misled them. Thev beirln to see that Wade was right In his decision, aud that he acted only in conformity with the rules of both houses, and with the concurrent resolii' tion relative to Georgia. The House is rather ashamed of itself thin morning at the outrageous mauuer in which it threatened tbe Senate yesterday. Mr. Sheila- barger has the floor to day on Butler's resolu tion. It Is not thought that the resolution censuring Senator Wade will pass. A motion will be made to lay it on tbe table, and this will probably prevail. Mr. Batter will, of course, make a stubborn fight. FROM BALTIMORE. Shawl Robbery Tbe Btelnecke Will t'BS. Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraoh. Baltimore, Feb. 11.

There Is considerable activity obscrrable at the usual money sources in consequence ot the preparations going on among our merchants for the opening of tho spring trade. To ere is also a den and from the broken, who are making considerable drafts on the banks for 111 vest ment iu bonda und stocks. This activity, how ever, produces no sigos of u stringency, the market being so far amply supplied wl'b loan able funds, without much surplus, 'fuere is, therefore, no quoiuble change in the rates for loans, though these to-day were more firm thau ; usual. We quote call loans at 6(3)0 per cent, ou Government securities and at 67 per cent on miscellaneous collaterals, There apptirs to bo a gradual Increase lo the volume of bust, ness as tbe season wears on, though a thor ough caDvassot the markets floes not warrant us In rhroLk'lifcg general activity. Tbe de jilue in exchange, and tbe 1 wer quotations by cable for some of our leading tuples, has partially withdrawn the stimulus from the export trade whtie a cautious pol o?, in most otier depart ments, may be said to have b.-come habitual. A prominent commercial feature of the period has been the active mo vera-nt and substantial advance iu sugar, wb'Ch shows the prevailing disporitiou of tDe mercantile public ti take hold of Bny commodity which may be deemed to oiler a safe temporary investment of capital. The business at the StocK Board to-day was I'gbt, and at the close the spicuMtlvc shares were weak. G vernri ent and Uate loans were quiet.
