The unfortunate people who have enjoyed the
privilege of the floor of the House during the past
few days, and have congregated in tho rear of the
seats, have been obliged to shoulder multitude of
sins really committed by the Representatives them
selves 1t is a stereotyped custom when the confu-
sion in the House becomes great as to Obstruct
business for the Speaker to direct the gentlemen
in the of the seats to take seats and TO cease
conversation" This order is issued dozen times in
a day, and very often when the visitors still
mice and the noise is all made by the members
themselves.
President Hayes's son, Webb Hayes, was upon the
floor Of the House this afternoon. Sir Edward
Thornton and his daughters and Capt. Gore Jones Of
the British Legation remained in the Diplomatic
Gallery until after 2 O'clock this morning.
The doorkeepers who have stood at the foot Of the
stairs leading to the House galleries, and at tho en-
frances from the rotunda to the House wing of the
Capitol for the month, to stop persons not hold
ing tickets were removed to-day. The galleries
once more open to all, and the unemployed colored
men who have been excluded were glad enough TO
escape the rain and resume their old places in the
gallery opposite the Speakers table.
