Iguess Gov. Cobb will chew upon this LITTLE

There were two strong debutants in the House
to-day-Gen. QUIrMAN, of Miss, who brief.
protested against this irregular and skirmishine
discussion while the House WAS unorganiZed and
without rules, of the gravest and B,ost vital to-
pics which would necessarily engross larg.
share of the Session. For HIS own part, he desired
at proper time 10 submit some viewson those to-
pics but not while the House remained in chaos
He, therefore, gave notice of resolve that no

general favor and, perhaps somewhat modified,
will probably be adopted tomorrow
The other debutant was Mr.. N. G.. Foster o.
