Adjourned at 5 p. m. c HOtJSJB rilOCKBDINOS. The session was a ropitition of yes terday's. The Maekey.Dibbel elec tion contest was called up. On the question of its consideration , illlbai- toring was resumed by the democrats interposing a motion to adjourn , with a call tor the ayes and nays. After several hours of this sort of tactics , Mr. Moore ( Tonn ) arose to a question of parliamentary inquiry , asking "if it were true that several of the pres ent members of the house were lately in rebellion against the government , and were by the government's clem ency permitted to return to citizen ship in the United States , and through that representation of their constitu encies in congress , and if such bo'tho case had thoao members a right to ob struct the public laws of the govern ment which had treated them BO mag- nannimouslj ? This inquiry produced great con fusion , the democrats claimed the inquiry was out of order , and Mr. Bandoll demanded it bo so filed. Mr. Marsh (111. ( ) asked what right Handall had to act on the floor as speaker , and assume the functions of that officer. The disorder became so great that the speaker threatened to call upon the sorgeant-ut-nrms to suppress it. He finally succeeded in securing order , and Morse's inquiry was ruled out of order , and the monotonous work of calling the roll and fillibus- toring was resumed and continued until 4:30 : p. m. , when Mr. Blackburn rose and stated that ho desired to submit a proposition with the hone that it would lead to a solution of the difliculty. Mr , Calkins replied that ho would bo glad to listen to the proposition , without binding to do more until ho know what it waa , The proposition was then submitted , which was to the effect that a committee - too of five members bo appointed to visit South Caiolina and inquire into the authenticity of the affidavits and other matters submitted as testimony in the case and examine also into the allegation ? of alterations of testimony given and of loss or failure to use the original notes of testimony , and to re port to the bouao all facts so obtained. Me. Calkins aaid that while he could repel anything that ho thought was intended to reflect on the committee - tee on elections , ho would not so con- eider this , but would aek for a few moments to consult with some mom- bora Bf the republican aide in order to BOO if some counter proposition could not bo made to take the place of this and ba acceptable to both sides. Mr. Blackburn replied that ho had no intention of reflecting on the committee - mitteo on elections. Mr. Belford wanted to discuss thi question , but the speaker ruled dis cusaion out of order. Then Mr. Bel ford objected , as did also Mr. Wash burne and Hazelton. A acono of con fusion followed , a largo number of members trying to apeak. Finally , when order was restored , the republi cans indicated a willingness to vote aye on the pending motion to ad journ , which WAS put and adopted al 4:20 : p. m. Mr , llobeson called a caucua of the republicans to meet at 4:25 : p.m. in the kail of the housn , to consider the proposition and ngroo upon the future course. TUB CAUCt'3 CONCLUSION. The fooling among republicans is strong not to lot the MackoyDibboll case go back to the oloctiona committee - too and bsforo yielding to that , an effort will bo made to amend the rules so as to dispose of the case as a high constitutional duty of the houso. A proposition having bocn submitted to the nouso by Blackburn'of Kentucky , on behalf of the minority , the majority will submit the following : Whereas , Wo are entirely satisfied that the allegations made by Mr. Samuel Dibbcl as to forgery and falsi fied evidence have been fully , fairly and exhaustively considered by the committee on flections , and arguments thereon have boon fully hoard ; aud Whereas , The cause now comes up for consideration in the house , and there has been no discussion whatever in the house thereon , and as the house cannot vote intelligently with no guide except raero allegations on ono side , on Any proposition to refer to a now committee a question which has already boeu considered by the appropriate committee , but must have the benefit of a full and free discus sion in order to enable the houao to decide the question understanding ; therefore , wo submit the following proposition : Resolved , That the honso immedi ately proceed to the consideration of tko Mackoy-Dibbcl case , and after six hours discussion the house shall vote on thi question of recommittal by a yea and nay vote , and if the houao shall decide thia in the negative , it shall thereupon continue to consider the case until it is finally finished , without dilatory motions.

Labor Troubles. National Aesodatod From NKW YOKK , May 20.---The strike of the boilormakurs for increase of pay assumed a now aspect to-day , Of the seventeen shops whoso men had gene back at the deairod increase , Cf- teen were declared again on a atriko. and thus about 800 men have joined the ranks of strikers , The determi nation to order men on a strike who had gene back to work at a higher rate of wages was owing to bad faith on the part of employers. The committees - mitteos detected violation of pledges in four or five instances and it wat deemed best for protection to order out all men who had gene back to work until their demind is conceded by all employers. Exception was made in favor of Cramp & Son , who have kept their pledge with the boiler maker's union. There ia no longer any doub * as to the disposition of n majority ol the employers to make the necessary concession. They are hindered by the Dolnmatro iron works and lloacb , t Son , and it is said that the action of the strikers in case they should concede the advance rates would bo followed generally , The coal shovolors along E at Ilivor who have bcon on a strike for an nd- vance from 1'J to 1C couts on the ton , were generally successful to-day , all employers with ono or two exceptions having conceded the desired increase.
