A Call OF the House.

During the proceedings Of the House Of
Representatives Oh Friday in Committee of
the Whole on the private calendar, the com.
mittee found itself without quorum, and &C
cordingly rose. Ia the House, upon mo-
ton to adjourn. it was ascertained that the
House was without quorum. The roll hav-
ing been called, the names of the absentees
were called for excuses. Upon reaching the
name Of Mr.. Burroughs, OF New York, MIR.
Morgan, his colleague, said "he had MARI led
a wife and could not come" MIR. Hoard,
another colleague as soon as he could be
heard, moved that that gentleman be excused
as be was absent on urgent business; which
motion was received with roars OF laughter,
in which the Speaker joined, and several
members suggested that 1t was very press
ing business" that detained the honorable
gentleman. Mr.. Letter, Of Ohio stated that
he had paired of; to which Mr.. Florence re-
sponded by saying that he had paired of with
a woman. MIR. Letter rejoined that he be-
lieved it to be a proper pair." 1t is need
less to add that the gentleman was excused.
After the names OF all the ahsentees had
been reported, the Sergeant-at-Arms was d.
rected to arrest and bring before the bar OF
the House, wherever found, those who had
not been excused. In the mean tiHe the
members amused themselves by conversing
together in groups, for no business could be
transacted 10 short time the Sergeant-at
Arms returned with a number of prisoners.
In answer to the inquiry of the Chair, at
least one member replied that he bad sent
page to the Clerks desk before the announce
meut of the vote on adjournment, and being
Informed that the House had adj burned and
surprising that honorable gentlemen would be
of the "same opinion" for ten minutes, left the
House for the purpose of getting bis dinner.
The gentleman was not discharged from Gus
tody without the payment of fees, nor were
Others who gave excuses similar and not
bit better. The Sergeanr-at-Arms reaped
harvest of fees on the occasion. 1t is scarce
ly probable that another call of the House
will soon be carried to its full extent. Be-
fore all the abSentees we're brought IN by the
Sergeant-at-Arms, several motions were made
that the hous, adjourn, hut they met with a
determined negative. Laton.
