of this illustration of the susceptibility
OF parliamentary government to trick
cry are void Of interest, but there were
episodes in the strife showing the tenn
per OF the House, and suggestive OF
thoughts which it is not the province of
the reporter to interpret.
There were three orders of the day I:
1. The bill to enlarge the criminal jur-
isdiction OF justices Of the peace in rural
parishes.
2. The bill repeating the charter of
the SlaughterhOuse Company.
3. The bill repeating the Charter of
the Louisiana Lottery Company.
Mr.. Walker, as the champion Of the
lottery bill, struggled long and vainly
for preference for that bill. During this
struggle decisions were made by the
Chair unacceptable to Mr.. Walker, but o
majority of the House sustained the
Chair. In the midst Of this excitement
the Speaker called Mr.. Hall to the chair
In dispute as to who was entitled to
the floor, Mr.. Hall recognized Mr.
Demas, persistent opponent Of the
lottery bill.
Mr.. Hammond demanded that the
Speaker should resume the chair.
Mr. Morrill, (colored Republican and a
supporter Of the bilD seconded the de-
mand.
+,
and In few minutes gave it to Mr..
Bower.
Mr. Demas and others took the floor
upon frivolous points OF order.
Mr.. Bower wished to call upon the
Sergeant-at-arms to maintain order. 1t
Is disgrace the manner in which some
Of the members Of the House behave
themselves If they do not respect them
selves I shall see that they respect the
chair, as the organ Of the House. ZAP
plause from the members generality
Speaker Estilette shortly after took
the chair again and q controversy en-
sued between him and Mr. Walker in
relation to the rulings Of the chair.
At last tho orders of the day were
taken up In the sequence ruled by the
Speaker.
1. The bill charging the criminal
jurisdiction of country justices was
postponed until Monday.
g. The bill to repeal the Slaughter
house Company charter was indefi-
nitely postponed, because, it was
argued, the bill substituted one monop-
oily for another, inasmuch as it restricted
Strengthening to the Algiers side of the
river

Mr.. Stafford moved a reconsideration,
to allow Mr.. Hall to explain his vote,
but Mr.. H. was allowed to say but @ few
words when further discussion OF the

famous, but did not think the charter
