EXCITING SCENES TN THE SENATE AND HOUSE WADE AND BUTLER FIGHT FOR THE MASTERY - THE VOTE OF LOUISIANA AND GEORGIA-WHAT CAME OF rr. WASHINGTON, February 10.-At one o'clock the senators, arin in arm, went into the hall of the House of Representatives. Wade took the chair and Colfax was seated noar him. Sena? tor Conkiiug aud Ropreseutives Wihtou, of Iowa, and Piuyn, acted as tellers. Pruyn read the Democratic votes; Conkling and Wdson al? ternately rc .Ording the Republican votes. All went ou smoothly until Louisiana was reached, ?when Mullina, of Tennesseo. objected, declar? ing that no valid election had beeu held. The joint session separated, and the House vote!, one hundred and twenty-six to sixty three, to count the vote of Louisiana. The Senate, after a severe struggle to draw in ex? traneous matter, voted to couut Louisiana. The Houses again met and proceeded with the count until Georgia was reached, when Butler objected, because the Georgia Electoral College had not voted on the proper day and for other reasons. Much confusion ensued, which Wade ended by ordering tho Senate to its own dumber. The House then voted, noes one hundred and fifty and ayes forty-one. that the vote ol Georgia should not be counted. The Senate after a most perplexing and laughable struggle declared, in face of the concurrent resolution concerning Georgia, that the objeotion made in tho joint session was out of order. The Houses again met in joint se-sion in ab? solute conflict. Wade ordered the vote of Georgia to be read as directed by the concur? rent resolution. Butler objected. Wade would hoar no objection. Butler appeal ed from Wade's decision. Wade would allow no appeal and ordered tbe count to proceed. Butler moved that the Senate have permission to retire, which was raled out of order. But? ler insisted that tho House should control its own hall. Amid tho most intenso excitement Wade ordered the count to proceed. Conkling commenced reading tbe result, but his voice . was dro?roed by enos of order. The noise became dcafoning, when Breaker Colfax sprang to the dosk. proclaiming that the Vicc-Presideut must bo obeyed in joint session, and ordering tbo Ser?e.int-a?-arms to arrest all disorderly persons. Colfax was or? dering and appea inp for probably two miuntos, during whioh time the dergeant-at-arms had distributed his men all through the House be? fore partial order was lestorcd. The reading of the result and the proclamation of the election fy Kow ed, the Houses separated, and the Senate immediately adjourned. IN THE HOUSE, Butler introduced a resolu? tion that tho action of Wade and the senators was a gross invasion of tbe rights of the House, which resol utiou was pending when the House adjourned._ WASHINGTON'.

Annual Meeting of tile Stockholders. SECOND DAT. The stockholders of the South Carolina Bail road Company roassombled at ll A. M. yester? day, in thc ball of thc Southwestoru Railroad Bank, pursuant to adjournment. The minutes of thc previous meeting were read and confirmed. Mr. Welsman submitted the following report from the committee t? whom was referred the report of tho President and Di rectors, with the accompanying documents : The committee to whom was referred the report of tho President anl Directors of the South Carolina Railroad Company, with thc documents accompany tut; it, aud tho resolu? tion of James C. Iiu.mes. Esq.. respectfuiy report that they have given to tho same tho consideration which tbe short interval allowed to your committee would permit. Under the circumstances so generally affect? ing the receipts of railroad companies South, as explained ?n tho report of the President and Directors, thc committee find cause for congratulation that the result of tito year's operations, as compared with tho30 of 18SJ, show so small a decrease, and this they ate satisfied has boen accomplished only by a wise and econo nical administration of the affair's of thc company in every department. Notwithstanding tbero has been a vigorous competition with olhcr roads for the traffic which this road formerly enjoyed without a rivul-rendering necessary tho extension of through connections at "reduced tariffs of freight, and there has been a decrease in tho receipts of tho road, yet tho operattug expen? tes have been kept at nearly or quite thc same ratio of decrease.- your property has boen im? proved, and tho Dtr< ctors have" been enabled, Irom the net earnings, to apply the euri of $238 651 09 to the reuuetion of tho general in? debtedness ot' tho compaay. Upon the subject of dividends, the commit too concur with tho Board of Directors in the conviction "that the trae interest of tho stock? holder lies in the combined application of net earnings to thc reauctiou of debt aud improve? ment of property;'-they, however, take leavo to express thc hope, upon tho adjust mont of the past duo debt (which they have reason to believe will shortly beac:ompliahed), and with tbo improved prospects of the road, that thc time is no: dissent when the stockholders un? reasonably expect tho paymonl of dividends. ' Tho committee feel warranted m recommen? ding tho adoption of tho following resolution : Resolved That the report of tho President and Directors and tho papers accompanying it, are highly satisfactory, as chowing a contin? ued improvement in tho condition of the com? pany, and that its affairs have been conducted ID its various departments with ability, econ? omy and ztal for the interest of the stock? holders. With reference to Mr. Holmes' resolution, the committee are of opinion that as tbe Board of Directors hive adopted a plan for the ar? rangement of tbe sterling djbt (resomUins in some of its details a plan some years since proposed by Mr. Holmes), which has becu submitted to tho bondholders, and their agent. Charles M. Furman, Esq., is now in England for the purpose ot perte -ting the arrange? ment, it is .nexpedicnt at this time to proposo a plan for the adjustment of thc debt. Respectfully submitted. J. T. WELSMAN, Chairman. JNO. H. HONOUR, A. O. ANDREWS. 0. CANNON. J"HN MORAE. Charleston, February, 10,18t>9. Mr. J. G. Holmes, in seconding tho motion fer the adoption of thc report, said that the committee had taken tbo very course iu rog-ard tohi8plan of debt adjustment which he had expected, but that ho desired to have it record? ed ou the minutes, that ho did now bring be? fore the company, as ho did in 1857, a scheme by whi?h the debt could bo gradually paid and at the same time a semi-anuu;-.! dividend ho declared, even if tho company did uot carn any more than it did iu thc year just past. The report ot thc committee waa then unani? mously adopted. Mr. Rostou Clarkson submitted tho follow? ing report from tho committee appointed to consider thc report of tho President and Direc? tors ol' tho ^outhwosteru Railroad Bank: Tho ommilteo appointed upon tho raport of the President aud Directors uf tho South? western Railroad Bauk have duly con-jidered tho sanio a d respectfully report : That they find tho condition of its affairs as heretofore reported to t l io board. The BOB. Janies Rose, wno for Dear t, li ii ty years past has presided with great ability over the affairs of the batik has tendered his resig? nation This <MUuot but be a source of sincero regret. He has been identified with the inter? ests of the road and bank by his high charac? ter, financial ability aDd devotion to their ad? vancement. He has entitled himself to thc favorable judgment of tho community, and thc legard ot all who nero associated with him. While your oominiUee regret the loss sustain? ed by His retirement from tho presidency of the bank, they aro gratified to behove thar bis services ?ill bo retained iu the road. Your committee would therefore itoniniend the ado-mon of tho following resolutions: R(80lted, That thc stockholders of tho South Carolina Railroad Compa y. ass?, moled at their annual meeting, cannot refrain from express? ing their regret at the lonrouiout ol the Hou.

CLARKSON. E^J. DIVINE. B. D. LAZARUS. Ou motion of Mr. Alonso J. Wnue, the report waa unanimously ae'opted. Colonel HioLard Yeadon thou ara3e and said that bo wished to be informed in regard to an important point io the aff tirs of tho company, upon which the ro ort of tho Presideut and Directors of the Railroad vas entirely silent. Without intotiding to find any fault vita tho directors hu folt compeli? 1 to inquire what was the ooudttion of things between '.ho South Carolina Railroad -Company and mc Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company, between which oompauiod there haJ been much litiga? tion. Thoro waro many rumors afloa*, and bo would like to know tho laois ot the case. Tho South Carolina Railroad Company had been defeated, he believed, in. most of the steps which they had taken ia the courts, had heard from one of tho couusol the Columbia and Augusta Railroad C pasy tint two offers had been made to South Carolina Railroad Company by the Iumbia and Augusta Railroad Company for use of tho track of thc South Carolina I road between Gram te vi Ile and Augusta. 1 proposal was to give the South Carolina Ii road a pro raia share of the receipts of Columbia and Augusta Ri i trend between lumbia and AHgusta. The other was to f the South Carolina Railroad Company $100 fer the use of their track to Augusta. B propositions, he understood, had been reji ed. If it was a settled matter that tho Colt bia and Augusta Railroad were to be permit to build a separate track, it was certainly the advantage of the South Carolina Railr? Company to accept one of these propositia It there ?vere good reasond why both tb propositions should have been refasod, would like to know them. Wi J. Magrath Esq., the President of the ro said that he was happy to answer the icq hes just made. He had requested Gene James Gonner, tho solicitor of thc road, make a statement to the stockholders ?j? t position of the company in regard to the 1 galion with tho Augusta Ra.lroad. He wot therefore leave the reply to that portion of t interrogatory to him, but rs to the propo tions which wcro said to have been made, wished to speak pointedly and plainly. ] denied most emphatically that either one thc other had beeii made. Colonel Yeadon said ho could only rep that ho had the statement from the Hon. G. Memmingor, counsel for the Columbia ai Augusta Railroad, and if these propositio had not been made, he would like to km fri'Lii thc President what propositions hi been made. Mr. Magrath answered that it was known Mr. Memminger that Mr. Johnson, the Pres dent of thc Columbia and Augusta Railroa had offered to give the South Carolina Railro: Company for the uso of their track betwe< Graniteville and Augusta, whatover the trait ortho Columbia aud Augusta Railroad Con pany might earn between Graniteville an Augusta. To this proposition it had been r pliod that thc offer amounted to nothing, ar that the Columbia and AcgustaRailroad ha never even offered a pro rata of tho amount i earnings between Columbia and August There was never anything said about a mone compensation; and Mr. Johnson had neve claimed thai his offer to give thc South Can lina R.'ilroad what his trains earned belwcc Graniteville aud Augusta meant to give th South Carolina Rai'road Company a pro ra' share of what was earmd between Columbi and Augusta. In rei'eronco to Mr. Monomie ga it was due to thc directors to say that, in on of his arguments in court, Mr. Memminger ha made thc same statement in rogard to thc tw propositions which had been repeated hort and that the correctness of the statement wa thou and there denied. Mr. E. W. Seibels, of Edgofield, said that h was afraid that thcro had been more persona feeling manifested in lae conduct of the dis pute between tho two companies than was fo the i.itcrcst of thc South Carolina Railroad Ho said that tho interest of thc up-countr, seemed to bo ignored, and tho railroa? seemed to be managed by tho om cars o tho company exclusively in tho interest of th large stockholders in Charleston. The cursci of the up-country against tho South Carolin: Railroad had been deep and loud. Thc peoph complained that no sufficient facilities wen given lo tho planters. He said that if ho hat timo togo into tho history of tho charters o 1827 and 1828, he could show that the Soutl Carolina Railroad had no right to contend tba it was a violation of their rights lo build i road from Columbia to Augusta. He paid tba tho privilege of granting a new charter wa: always reserved to the public. The Columbia and Aucusta Road, however had been constructed, and thc Legislature hat granted a charter in 1838 and agaiu in 18CS and the road progressed until 18C7 before th< South Carolina Railroad said a word about it Wheio a party allows obstructions to be erect ed, or permits any interference with thoii rights, and inlcnd to resort to the coutts they should give proper notice. But thc Soutl Carolina Railroad Company bad remained qmc: for nine years, willie tho Columbia aud Augusta Railroad was being constructed, mid dtrin; a part of that tims the propositions of Ibo Co Iumbta and Augusta Railroad, tor a compro? mise bad been silently if not favorably enter? tained. Theil, su i-leuly. au inj unction hui beeu applied for, and Carried to thc Supreme Jo Mt aud lhere defeated. Ju.?go Phill was then applied to by tho Columbia and Au? gusta Railroad Company tor a jury to ai*scs? oauiaees. And it might bo said herc that tin South Carolina Railroad Comoauy, lu going tc Augusta, wcut out of tho direct hue to touch at Graniteville, while tuts point was cn tbe must direct linc of thc Columb a and Augusta Ba hoad from Columbia to Au^ue'.a. ile had talked with the foreman of tho jury, and lie had said that tho jury had w il kori ncir.y tho whole way from Augusta to Gr.initovillo lo find out what damages .vere done. It was the opinion of tho foreinau that no damage ar all had becu done, but on tho contrary the construction of tho Colum? bia and Augusta Rnlroad had been a positive bout-tit to tho South Carolin? Railroad. The jury, bowevor, had found a verdict fer the enor? mous sum ot $110. To-inorrow tho tamo judge was to bc applied to in order to have tho ver? dict of the jury sot asidu, and the case referred to another jury. With what prospects of suc? cess? In hts opinion, and that of mauy per? sons in that section of country, the n.x. jury would fiud a verdict of twenty-five cc-ts. Here was a fino prospect for both roads. What prob? ability Wu8 there that thc lawsuit would ever be terminated with fjurtccu or sixteen lawyers employed, and railroads for thou- clients? In bis opiuiou it could result iu uotbnig i ut ex? penso and disaster to thc South Carolina Rail? road Company. Even ii they succeeded in carrying all their poiuis iu court, what good wouid bc accomplished? Tho Legislature nould do as they propose to do about thc Charles.un election-pass an net that their I i-ido was rirtht and all tho* did w.-ie legal, mid i the other sido n as wrong mid .ill they did ille? gal. Under such circinus.anees he thought il useless to contend against thu Co.umbin mid Augusta Riuroad, bm-ed a-t it wa* hy tbe Le? gisla, ure, and ho h. d intended to uffir a resu HitMti to refer it to tho president and .hroctors to consider thc propriety of making ii junction or compromiso of &ouio Lied wibi thc Colum? bia and Augusta Railroad, lt was not reason? able to expect that after tho Seato had gr .in ol a Char er to a company to build a io id from Columbia to Augusta, and tiad'eudorsod the bonds or that CJUI] any io tho amount ot half a million dollars, and most ol' that money had been spent, aud u bride o over ibo Savannah Bi vor was under contract, tho Logia! ature would allow nil this money to bu Milu wu away, whtcu would be the practical rcsuU of tue su? cass of the South Cat olma Rai road Company, in their appeal, based on Inc ground that tbo Columbia aud augusta Railroad Compauy lind no right to hi lld a road irom Columbia tb Au? gusta. He did nj. mean to censure any one, bul he hoped that mo president ?-nd directors wou.d lake this subject into serious consideration, and al>o the comp'aints against tbe road tor mismanagement. H,J had been told by one ol tho p.incipal arron!s for Peruvian guano in this city, tuat not moro than one-third as much guano was sent over tb South C uohna Railroad as was sm' last >car, .md t ai lt}? reasou was that thc road offered no lacdilioj to plant'rs aud farmers, tho guano being thrown out on the platform iu iwc.ty- our hours alter urrival ai thc nskot tho owner. Pieaty of guano was used iu the couu ry, bul ir did not come by way of Charleston, It was brought by the roads in the interior tro: York. He knew ot two thousand tons in baltimore and shipped to Savanna sent by way of Qeorgia to Edsreheld. were complaints on all sides, and they be noticed. President Magrath, in reply to Mr. ? said, that if the complaints spoken of r to tarina, be would challenge comparim those of any other road. As for the sta about there not being moro than one-t much guano moving on the road this last, if that were true, the road must have more guano last year than ho had any i The fact was that be had never before t much guano on the road as there was a ent. jin regard to the two thouaauc bought in Bal timor} and shipped v vanuab, he contd eoe no reason ii transaction whatever, and would like t it explained. The turin's on the South na Railroad and the Georgia Railroad we same and their regulations tho same road was suffering now for want of c transport merchandise, because the car filled with guano and retained at way si as warehouses, because tho consignees guano failed to receive it at the propel To alford such facilities and storage as th t eman from Edgefleld would seem to < would tako at least ono hundred addition, at a cost of $100.000. Hon. George A Trenholm also replied I Siobels. He said that ho was willing to legal questions to counsel learned in th but that the best reply to the public cl against the road for tailing togive certain ?ties was the fact that tbe stockhi of tho road bad not received ono dollar ol deud since the close of tho war. The been furnishing the public with thefacihl the road at the mere cost ot keeping u road aud defraying the expenses of transi lion. If thc company had been a mutual efit concern, with an agreement to r shippers all money over and above expom would not have been a botter arrange m ?.: the public. Tho stockholders had fm cd tho public w i th all the advantages great railroad at mero cost, whilo shares had fallen in valno from $10 $25. aud yet tho great public was satisfied. Must thc stockholders go a til ther and put their hands in their pocke satisfy tho clamor of the people? Tho i clamor had been made in Edgofield Dis tr, the closo of the war, when the very men clamored against tho road for charging twi five conts for carrying a sack of salt for hundred and twenty miles, were therua receiving from $1 50 to $2 50 for hauling a of salt twenty-one milts. When tho com was brohea down and nearly ruined, and road destroyed, the same class of men cia ed because tho road charged as mucli freight from Hopkins' Turnout to Charle as the peo le who clamor d charged for I ingfrom Hopkins'to Columbia. Wo wot, the yo.r round, carn nothing, and meet with long faces, becauso we have no divide and yet the public is not satisfied. I n tain that this company has doue its duty U public. I am not going to entor into thc detail the dispute betwoen this road aud tho Colut sfnd Augusta Hoad. But m regard to Mr. Ji son, I will say this : I was one of tho best firstfrionds that biB scheme had. I subscr one-fifth of tho entiro capital of the road, I have always been wilhng.to moot him on nud liberal ti rois. But he nover came. Johnson said, " I am going to build a i ni opposition to your roau, and wben i finished will take away not only your b noes between Granitcvillo and ?ueusta, one-half of your business between Augusta Charleston, but I am not yet quite read build my road from Granitevillo to Augn and I want you to let ma havo thc uso ot j track until I do. For that I will give you v, I earu between Graniteville and Augusta I did not consider these liberal terms at Mr. Johnson wrote to me personally about matter, and I replied to him personally told bim that his offer was equivalent to tali away half of our business and give us in rei one-tenth of what he took away. I could consent to any such proposition. Could y directors, for tbo sake ot popular clamor, lit untrue to their constituent!!? The thing absurd on tho taco of ic. We were wiflin; make money out of Mr. Johnson, but could make a bargain .vith him. Wo had paid City of Augusta $250,000 for the Privileg? building our bridge across the Savani River. We had built that bridge at great expense, and it was incumbent u| air. Johnson to pay us something corres po ing to the expense wo had incurred. The C of Augusta had bound itself to us not to all any other road to cross tho river at Augus Those rights and privileges were valual Wc had paid for them. Was there any imp pnety in going hilo the courts to enfu them, merely because tho people, clamo: against it ? Let thom clamor. We wi nothing but what is riebt, just and rcasonal Who, that is a man, would yield bis lights cause of the clamor of the populace? AB( of your directors. I havo dono my best to p tcct your interests, and as long as you hoi mo with your votes, I will maintain y< rights, and I. at least, will never SUCUE [Loud applause.] Mr. W. A. Courtenay arc se and said : Afr. Chairman and Oentlemcn-l meet i gentleman from Edgefield for the first time day, and I desire to reply vory briefly to t points of his complaint against the South ( n.lina Railroad for tho reason tt-at I oau spt directly to tbe point ot these changes, whl ho tells us, have bceu thu cause of dan against our road. Ho charges that tho citiatvis cf the inter districts caa?

But, that i? uoi all. A very gra difficulty crows out of thc delay at ?ill inion depuis iu unloading oars, and it is this use cars as ware houses until consignees sh: make it convenient lo haul efl' their freight th hat put back the business of thu road fur short limo and caused this limit to bo pi upou the detention o'.' thc card, li thi i uurc sonable ? Tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroi Company has in uso ti vu thousand ears, ar yet, 1 veulure the assertion, that if a load? car, oven if freighted with gur.no, was not u loaded within s.x hours after ns arrival, tl agent would very soon hear of his dclinq acne Now, our company, with groa.* liberality, eran twenty-four hours' indulgence, aud that, seems, is the cuse ol' popular clamor again thu road.

To do less or to eva issue is to be wanting in the elements i manhood. Colonel Yeadon ' said that be was glac he had asked for the information, as tl planation erivon had been tor the mo satisfactory. The offer of Mr. JohnsoD to the South Carolina Railroad only hie in RS from Augusta to Graniteville, worth OOO per annum or less, could not be o.itc ed. The offer of a hundred thousand d it would seem, had never boeu m ide, an bad il must have bor-n refused, because i offered as an equivalent for wrat was $500,000. The explanation in regard to j had also been entirely satisfactory. Hr. Seibels said be thought tbat this e: ation ought to be made public.

Other Facts and Figures with Reference ta the Extension of the Spartanburg and Union KaUroad. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. As far back as 1836, tho leading spirits of South Carolina were interested in locating a line of railway from Charleston to the North? west. Accordingly the services of General McNeil, with twelve brigades of engineers, were engaged to reconnoitre the several gaps through the Blue Ridge, and to report the re? sult of their surveys and mvestigatioas. This work was performed with much deliberation, and after a minuto reconooisanoe of all the principal gap* of the Blue Bidgo range, irom Virginia to Georgia, it was decided that tho Butt Mountain Gap afforded by far the most practicable pass through which to construct a raihoad. Tho primo object of the first movers in this grand euterprije being to ascertain the nearest and cheapest hoe upon which to con? struct a railroal that would unite Cnarlcston and Cincinnati, it was agreed that the pnnci pal poiuts should be Columbia, Uuion, Spar? laiiburg, Asheville, thonco down tho Pronch Broad Valley, &c. It may be remarkable that nevor, from that day to this, has tnere beeu so thorough, so completo and so scientific au investigation mude in regard to this matter. Ic is well also to (.bsorve that all the States interested in thc construction of this grand national highway have, from the dato of this general survey to which I have alluded, boen localing and build in tr their roads with reference lo tue lino then established. Tho Spanauburg aud Uuion Road, to itu present terminus at Spartanburg, follows that line, varying from it only iu this : Thu original survey was made un tho opposite side of tho B oad River, from where the road was finally located. Nonh Carolina ii build? ing her road down tho val.ey of the French fioad to Pain' Roc ?. East Tennessee is budd? ing hers from Paint Kook to Morristown and <;umoor'.and Gap, thence to Lexington and HO on lu Cincinnati. Subs?quent to this general survey ot 1896 tho r roue h Broa a Bu hoad Company, tu 1859, employed the services of Mr. R. McCoila, one of the most distinguished civil engineers in tbo United States, to resur v< y the hue from Asheville to Spartanburg. via Butt Mountain Gap, and to make an estimate of thc cost of budding tho road between these two poiuts. The result of this latter survey was oven more satisfactory than tho former. It was es? timated by Mr. .ucCalla that tho entire road from Spartanburg tu Asheville could bo built at a cost of ono million three hundred and eighty-seven thousand niuo hundred and oiuhty-livo dollars ($1.337 985). And to show tho confidence that was placed in thc correct? ness of this estimate, a compauy of respect? able and wealthy cit zens of North Carolina agreed to contract for tim building of tho road at .h.s estimate of its cost, and ru give a boud of uno m .lion do,lars for the speedy and fiith tul perfoinianco uf tho work.
