patience under persecution that may
suit the fancy. On second roll call he
attempted to answer from the lobby
but the Chair held that he could not
answer from without the bar OF the
House, and ordered the Clerk to note
him among the abseutees. The Ser

the missing members.
CLAMoR AND CONFUSION
Prevailed TOR the succeeding hour,
while the House awaited the return OF
its officer. Motions TO suspend proceed
ings to adjourn an d to take recess,
were made and renewed whenever
Republican member could get the floor,
and then demands for the previous
question, and ayes aud noes, were piled
on with liberal hand. The chair per.
ceiving the purpose OF the minority TO
produce inextricable con usIon, f ally
en orced the well known rule that
during call OF the House no motion
can be made except to adjourn or sus-

small margin for tilibusterlng but 1t

Harrison, when the rule above meutiou-

obtained the -four. made motion after
motion, all inadmissible under the rue,
and they were all decided out OF order.
Finally the member from Harrison
lunged at the Chair with the hot in
quiry, "Mr. Speaker, what can / do
that is 10 order? Tell me and i will
adopt it" A. quick as double triggers.
the Chair fired back: at will he in
order Tor the gentleman from Harris
sou TO take his seat" Aud then there
was big laugh all round that helped
restore the peace, aud the gentleman
from HARRISON said he would make
good his promise by adopting the course
which the Chair advised
THE REPORT OF THE sERGEANr-Ar-ARMs
Was made soon after, when it appeared
that that officer had been unable to ap-
prehend any OF the delinqnc 1ts, save
and except Campbell, OF Hancock. To

great grinding OF teeth and munch:ng |

broken no rule OF the House, and
would do it again whenever opportu-1

made for slaves, not for ireemen.
