In the House of Representatives yester
day, after the close of our report, Mr. Butler
objected to the introduction or
anything
that would prevent him bringing his Ka-klux

"filibustered"' against Butler. Finaljy, the
Speaker said that the regular order was the
call of States. Mr. Randall asked whether
it would be ia order to have a despatch read
announcing that the Democrats of New
Hampshire had elected their candidate for
Governor, three Congressmen, and a majority
of both branches of the Legislature. The
Speaker said it could .only be 'done by
general consent, whereupon several Republi
can members objected. Mr. Butler asked
whether it would be in order to have read a
despatch stating that the Ku-Klux in Mis
sissippi murdered four men last night; and
