RIorING.

The House proceeded to business,
aud for a few minutes there was com-
paratiye quiet. But soon a disconlen
ted cahal, which had been disappoint
ell in certain pet schemes, and wished
10 stave OF all other business, raised
another general row, and for a space
of ten minutes there was such Il
bowling and wild uproar as only the
inmates of Bedlam can ever know. \
concert of wolves, or the caterwauling
of a troupe Of angry mousers, would
most aptly typiiy the scene. One
gentlemen becoming more excited than
seemed necessary, the Speaker very
politely requested him
mot TO TEAR MS BIEEcHEs.
Amid the unparalleled confusion
and hubbub that ever and anon pre-
vailed, the Speaker, Mr.. Carter, n qui'
ct Young man from Cameron parish,
stood putting his fragrant Havana,
and beating the devils tattoo on the
table before him. He seemed fully
aware Of the imp5r,2nt provisions OF
all the bills proposed, and whenever
the ayes and noes were called, he lnya-
riablv decided that the needed proyi-
sion was carried. Sometimes the noes
we're louder and more obstrepcrous
than the ayes, but Carter know 4 thing
or two, and always decided,
"ruE AYES HAVE IT.
That was the way to do il, and the
only way under TIE circumstances.
The Speaker at one time remarked,
The noise is so great | can't hear,
and, with pleasant squiroque, contin-
ued II am partially deaf, and have but
one ear, bat il would take forty ears
TO hear all your motions" About
l0:30 o'clock many Of the members
and n goodly crowd of the lobbyites
had punished their regular quart OF
bcnzine, and the yelling became inten-
siiied. Howls. whOops.

up the hideous chorus. The prolong

yeas aud nays were absolutely stun,

They grasped one another with that
fraternal and awkward hug peculiar
to the bear tribe, chairs aud tables
were overturned, inkstands rolled and
ratified across the floor, and tables aud
paper strewn about the hall in most
confusion. In the midst of
this shrill, piping goice announced
somewhere in the scrimmage that the
Senate had adjourned siHe de, which
announcement was received with diri-
siye yells and cries OF
"YoU Know HOW IT Is YoURsILF,"
How are poor feet, Bully boy with

in the lobby, had fizzled
out like n gorgcd anaconda surfcited
with hearty meal, and now its mem
bers and attaches poured into the
House to witness its death throes and
add to the confusion, which had taken
