A TEST VOTE, PROHIBITIONISTS SHOW UP WITH TWENTY-EIGHT MAJORITY. One-Sidcd Debate on ti'e Measures to Stop the L'41 uor Traile-Prohlbitionjots Vote and Say Nothing. COLUM BIA, S. C., Dec. 7.--The Pro hibitionists won a signal victory to-night on the first round of the liht on the Childs bill. Ths vote was 70 to 42 against striking out the enacting words of the bill. The Perry bill, on which the opposi tion expect to develop their strength, has not yet come up for consideration, an . it is not until iher that the Auti. Prohibitionists expect to develop their full strength. The Prohibitionis,s have their full strength of those present on the bill as a whole, and the prevailing opinion is that they will lose when the substitutes are considered. The fight to-diy was peculiar and uncommon. The tactics of the Prohibitionists seemed to be to let the bill take care of it self and to ol'er no arguient in its suip. port. They were apparently c,nidlent and thought they could all'ord to let the Childs bill go through as a cut-and-dried aflair, The opposition made a splendid fight and ofl'ered sound anud logical argi. ment against the passage of the bill. The Charleston delegation led the li,hit, and Messrs .Sulllvan, Tupper an(d Geo. F. Von Kolnitz, Jr. made spleni(d argu ments. The best prepared was that of Mr. J. P. Thomas, Jr. of Columbia. Messrs Youmans of Hampton, Shtiman of Greenville, and Rivers, colored, of Beanfort County, made arguments. Mr. Roper, who introduced the bill, made a brief statement. Up to this time Mr. Ncttles is leading tlie prohibition forces. The Blease bill was killed. At 10.45 Speaker ,lones announced that the "special order"' of the (lay, the Childs prohibiton Bill, was in order. Reading Clerk Withers, had just finished reading the comniittee's bill, when Mir. Blease arose and asked that the enact In,- words of the bill should be stricken out, and the prohibition bill heretolore introduced by him should be inserted. Mr. Bleas st-arted out by explaining his prcseit po 0tion as comparedN with lis position last year. lie would not vote for any bill thtat would not prohibit, and he woulh not lie a party to atiny de ception.

Under the rules of the Iouse Mr. lease suc,-ceded in side-tracking the committee's report, and in bringing he foire the House the hill lie pirepared last summer. No argument, lie said, was necessary to show the evils of ;he liquor traille. There wn no t,!e t.o have a law on the statute book for which the punishment was not propletionatc to the crime. It was the only wiy to endorce such a law. A prohibition bill can never be too strict for a mian who is in favor of' prohibition. We want prohibition and nothing else. Section 3 ol his bill, lie said provided for the rigid enforcement of the law. His hill provided thatt one-hall ofthe tinle should go to the Informer. This was (done to secr proscntion.

Speeches in opposet,hon to prohIbit,Ion by Messes. Thomas, Shuman, Kirby Topper, EIvers, Sullivan, Weston and Youmans, all of whom made more or less lengthy speeches. At the conclusion of Mr. Youmans's speech Mr. Nettles, who seemed to be raking charge of things, said that enough had been said and that it was entirely useless to further discuss the matter, lie then moved to strike out the enactfng words of the bill with the folJQwfng result: Fr the childa Bill-Black well, .iese, Breazeale, Buist, Byrd, Cru 'en ter, Carroll, Cox, Uevington, It en, Davis DuBlose, Edwards, E. , S Istridge, Felder, Gary, Grahamn, Onn.

A HAPPY DEMOCRATIC CREW. 1 cI(ident,4 of t%e Rea"sembling of the Honse of Representativen. WAS1IINOTON, Dec. 7.--It was a bust ling and somewhat hilarious assembly that met in the louse of itepresenta tives. If, as hat; been stated, on appa rently very slight authority, there i! dissatiffaction among the Democratic majority with their Speaker, Mr. Crisp of Georgia, and a disposition among those of the Fifty-second Congress who have been elected to the Fift.) third Congress to make a change when the time comes for a new election, the heartiness with which all these men beri circulated around Judge Crisp, and aske.I and gave congratulations, did not indicate it. The certainty that the clerk's roll call, whe(n made lp, would disclose a majority in the next Congress on the I)emocratic side almost as large as this gave ai air of jubilation to all the chiefs. William M. Springer, of Illi nois, back in full health, with all his boumiding vlasticity renewed, and with the red rose in his coat lappel blushing more conspicuou.sly than ever, mt.st have 1iiade his palmus ache by the somIing slaps ie bestowed on the backs or his fellow iom)Ofrl vWe.' \teMillanm of I -.gitor withi Spri. mUkknessee, who shares :' .ger the titular leadetship of .s party, was almost equally exuber at . lven the sardonic face of ,ludge Ilolman rulaxed somewhat from it: habittut expression of considering what his prototype on the other side of the Atlantic, 'Josen Ilumie, many years tgo nsod to call "the sum tottle of the whole," and almost broke into a smiih. ''he little band of Spartan Republi cati. p-nned ip on the side, uinder the lead*rship of that gentle shepherd, 'T'hos. ]I. it,-ed, of Maine, were also making the best of a . bad situation. l"m rows of Michigan, Ilenderson and other lialers had the satisfaction of knowing that they had not ben lost in the general wreck, anl that their forces would be strengthened material ly, n - far as debating power was con cerned, by the return of Cannon of Illinois, Gear of Iowa, and ither strong inen, to the next louse. The preivailing anticipations of the iepub lican leaders seemed to point to lots of funm to be derived from the undisputed possession of all branches of the gov ernmwent, by their opponents alter March 4. Onm the other hand, the D)emocratic lentiers ma;nifested a grave determina tion to assume thme- full share of re sponlsibilhty put, upon them and to take it ump anid carry it through to tihe wisest end. Sel f cont aineid, imnpertuirbabile J1udge Culibersonm received many i.alutotions as the futumrc Attornmey Generai. The litt,le group of populists, whose lcorces remain almost the same In the next I louse as in this, and whio have fallen very considerably short of tlhair expectationms of holding the balance of power, were im two moods. ,Jerry Simponu was exultant over his tri umuphanut election in spite of the stronmgtst kind of opposition, and was tiguriner on a transfer to the sedator atmo usphere of the Senate, te be enjoyed with his friend Peffer, Tom Watson, of Georgia, who left heme bouyan with ant,icipation of re election, came back deceply dis.ppointed, to find that the object of his sensational attack, Judge Cobb of Alabama, had pulled through, while the had been left behind, and that the Alabamian now knew "where he was at," while the Georgian did riot. Tlhere was not a full attendatnce of the hlouse'; there seldom or never is at thme short session, until after ChrIstmas holidays. Many or the Congressmen who nave failed of renomination or re-ele'ctioni ---andi they are numerous in the prFesent lous's-naturally relax their vigilance, especially as it is gen erallyv i uderstood that nothing except routine work in committee on oppro pIU ation h ills will be attempted until .1 anunary. Consequently many mem bers wait until after t,he holiday r'celss bet ore put tinig in an appearance. Long before the hour of high noon arrivetd tie public and reserved galle ries were crowd(l. to their utmost ca pacity with visithrs, anid tihe corridors wem e iille'd with those who found it impossible to o'btain admission. The dliplomnatic corps was also uniusualliy w ell represented. l'romiptly at 1 o'clock Speaker Crisp called the llouse to order, anti the con fusion which had previously prevailed at once subsl)ided. The umem bers rose to their feet, and Chaplain Milburn of fered au fervant prayer. The clerk, was then directed to call the rail by States. TIhe call was Interrupted by a nues sage from the Senate, announcing that the Senate was reatty to begin the transaction of businesa,and that Sena tor llale and Ghormnan had been appoint ed to wait upon the President and ino tify him that it was ready to receive any communication he might desire to make. 'The call then pi oceeded. There were 224 members who answered to their names, and the Speaker declared that a quorum was present.
