A chronological history Of the days proceedings
would prove very volumious, luminous with
wrath and devoid of common sense or poetry.
Motion after motion was made to adjourn, for
call Of the House, and for excusing members
from voting on the FIRST motions; the yeas and
nays being demanded by Democrats invariably
and oil the time. At length long after dinner
| time, Gov. Baker announced on behalf Of the
Democrats that if the motion for the previous
| question would be Withdrawn, no opposition
should be made to the passage Of the resolution.
and no speeches made thereon by Democrats
Caldwell declined to withdraw his motion say
ing il Democrats desired to consume the day with
| frivolous motions, upon them rested the respon-
sibility. The majority were determined to con-
sent to no further loss of time on the subject,
which had already been discussed by the day.
About this time Gov. Baker attempted to leave

Of the Honse and the door-keeper old j. w.
Sherman, better in the will than the muscle, sup
posing it his duty to keep the representative
sovereigns together, refused the Ex-Governor
egress. But the stalwart form Of the member
from Clinton bore all opposition before him and
he made his way through the inside door when
he was persuaded of the undignifed manner Of
walking out Of the Capitol, and came back and
/ demanded to know by what right he was kept IL
against his will. Speaker Edwards calmly in
formed the excited member that the course pur
sued was the one universally followed here, bu
$ as the House had no positive rule on the subjee
. he should not direct the doors to be kept closes
