ties OF Edward Booker, John Withers
and Beaverly Keunets, Of Virginia:
Robert w. johnson, OF Arkansas; Jas.
M. Qnartes, of Tennessee, and James
III. Homes: of Kentucky. The House
spent an all night session in fruitless
attempt on the part of the Republicans
to get up the caucus force bill.
Although by the new rules, diotatory
motions ore forbidden, o means was
discovered and put in practice by the
Democrats to circumvent that rule and
make il entirely futile. The plan was,
the Democrats to refrain from voting
on the main proposition. and as the
Repoblicans could not keep together q
majority of the House from their own
ranks. the vote would reveal the alb
sencs' OF Quorum. Then the tedious
process Of q call of the House would be
proceeded with, and when it was
finiehed and the vote came to be taken
again on ahe main proposition, the
Democrats would resort to the same
tactics iand refrain from voting, re.
vealing the absence of q quorum and
neoessitsting o new call. and in this
circle the House has been going round
and ronnd from last evening till noon
to-day. e''H
