passage Of such an unfair and unjust law
so Reynolds, Of Mason, sprang to his fee
and moved "that tho whole thing be sus.
pended meaning the rules. BeeIy Bill
put the motion and 1t carried like Whirl
wind on prairie, and the House wa!
without rules or order.
FIRST SCENE.
Bill Miller In the Chair. Horror stand
ing aghast with his mouth spread like Q
poor mans lease, and his eyes as large Of
saucers turned upside down.
Mr.. Speaker
Mr.. Chairman!
Mr.. Speaker, sir, have the floor
Mr.. President, am in order?
Mr.. Speaker Mr.. Speaker
Mr.. Speaker, the floors mine.
Mr.. Speaker, no 'tain:, l was up first.
uallOw, Mr.. Speaker!
Say, MIR. Speaker!
git up to pint Of order, Dir. Speaker.
[Cries Of order from the Chair, and nu-
merous rsps from his gGvel
Mr., Speaker, II am not IN order what
can do?
Mr. Speaker replied, "!Tako your seat,
sirp (which he did instanter)
Mr.. President, can -; will =
Gentlemen, take your seats. Order |
order l will be obGyed.
Mr.. Speaker, are you dictator, sir?
l intend, sir, TO control this House as l
please.
AT once there rose so wild yell,
That no one there could scarcely tell
Whether all tho 1ends TO earth had fell,
Or what the deuce had happened"
"Yours truly" got behind Scoaeld's beef
basket, and felt comparatively safe. But
at the same time accident policies would
have sold we'll. l placed my hand on my
Swamp angel" and cried out Justify, "Go
in We braves" and they went. 1t was q
farce. No one was hurt. They will not
stand fire. One could chase dozen, and
two could put ten times that number 10
flight,
SECOND SCENE.
Jack Horror was ordered to "slay and
cat" and he"went in.p Under q call Of tho
House he arrested the absentees or rather
the stragglers outside oil the BARI began
to shove them 10 their seats. Mr.. Camp.
bell protested He had violated no rule
OF the House, because they had none 10
violate; they had all been suspended.
Miller was supreme dictator and members
could not help themselves. All they
could do was to submit to the speakers
pad locks and the gags Of the Democratic
majority.
THIRD SCENE.
They resumed labor on the road law,
reconsidered their former agreements to
the Senate amendment, struck them out
and sent the bill In its original shape TO the
Senate, which body very promptly re-
turned it, adhering TO their former &C
ton, which killed the bill for this session
This cooled the House down more effect
ually than could have done by steam
fire engine throwing fifty barrels of water
per minute. They were disguised with
themselves for having such fight for no
purpose. And worse than all they feel
tho responsibilities that will come up on
them for having no road law for year.
THE LAST DAY.
Both houses assembled on Monday,
with tho understanding that they would
take recess at 10 or II o'clock, to meet
again at twelve NJ, October Goth, 1873.
Nothing Of importance was done in the
House. The greater portion Of the time,
as Is usually the case, was taken up In
fun, wit and humor in Committee Of the
Whole, when at II o'clock the Senate
and House oil Delegates we're declared ad.
journed by their proper officers.
MORAL.
This distinguished body has been in
session just 140 days, which at low esti.
mate cost $3.50 per day, would make the
sum Of $10500O, and what have they
done? l have neither the time nor space
at this time to review their acts. lean say
this much, however, that they have not
half finished the job of colifyipg the
laws. They will spend all Of next win
ter, which will cost another 100000, and
then the printing Of the Code and other
extra work at Especial job rates" will
cost another 100000, and then how
much better of will we be than was our
condition under the old Constitution and
old laws? Let tho people revolve this
important question seriously In their
minds, and then decide whether, in their
IuubMGutI ~ Will pay W ~ VI ouu GVuI'
plete the job already begun.
And now, Mr.. Editor, my work Is done
at least for the present. have spent
considerable time at the Capital trying to
write up truthfully and fairly the conduct
of our Representatives. l have misrepre-
scented no one Intentionally. have told
the naked truth in o plain and practical
manner. If what have said and written

ia and her people, then / am satisfied
Her interests are my interests. Among
her mountains is my home. If I cannot
serve her l am always ready to lend o
helping hand. To SEQ her suffer and
abused is suffering for myself. As long
as ! have the power ] will continue "a
rain my voice against the wild Robes
pierre Bourhonism that now enthralls her
Thanking you, Mr.. Editor, for couEtesiel
extended TO you humble corrrespon
