THE LAST HOUR.

Yesterday when the anxiety Of the
members OF the House OF Representa-
tives was at it's highest pitch to get
through with the work OF the day, con-
sednent upon the unexpected announce.
ment by the Senate Of the intention OF
this body to adjourn sine die at half
past four instead OF six, us was expect
ed, Mr.. Hammond, Of Morehouse,
gravely drew the attention OF the
Speaker to the fact that he had reso-
luton 10 offer.
The resolution was taken up by the
the Clerk Of the House and read
Resolued, That committe be APP
pointed by the Speaker to prepare and
report to this House at an early day a
bill for the prevention OF cruelty to
animals, and that Messrs. Lyons, Kidd,
Stage and Buck be appointed as such q
com mittee.
Mr.. Lyons moved to amend by adding
the name of Mr.. La-n,are.
Mr.. Kidd whilst modestly. denying
any Goat ancestry asserted his ability
te defend himself without horns.
Nevertheless he offered to the. Speaker
that his name should be substituted, for
that OF the most obstinate and mulish
member OF the House.
Mr.. Jonas wickedly moved to refer
the matter to the Commit on Re-
trenchment and Reform, and would
likely have found whale In its chair
man but for the interference OF the
Speaker. who also INTERRUPTED the gen
tleman from the Tenth Ward, and or
dered the clerk to Berry the resolution.
The House then adjourned, not until,
however, Mr.. Kidd had paid q compli-
ment to the Speaker, the clerk, the
Sergeant.at-Arms and all the employees
Of the House for the manner In which
they had discharged their duties. He
offered vote of thanks to these gen

sUsPENDE ED.


Yesterday the famous individual Il.
Ell. Shannon, United States Commits
sioner, was, by order OF Judge Billings,
of the United States District Court,
suspended until further orders OF the
Court"
The cause OF the suspension Will be
found In the decision OF Judge Billings,
In the case OF N. Wheeler We. steamer
Grand Republic. The case was one or
libel against the boat for four dollars
wages and 1t was based upon D certih-
cate on warrant ISIS 0ed by Commissioner
Shannon. Complaint was made to
Judge Billings by Capt. Thorwegan.
Wednesday, and the Judge ordered the
case to be heard yesterday, so as to- re-
lieve the owners OF the expense OF bond
ing. The case came up. and after hear
ing the Judge made the following re-
marks:
II have called this case in preference
this morning, because l think 1t 10 an
imposition upon the commerce OF this
port, and upon the owners OF vessels
that vessel should be libelled and de-
tanned here, and subject to suit, without
any assumption OF demand, and simply

men shall be protected, for they are the
wards of the court; but to resort to such
measures until they have exhausted
their remedy, 50 far as presenting
their claims Is concerned, cannot
be supported. Therefore, let the judg-
ment be, that this libel be dismiss
ed; and, furthermore, / do not
think that the court ought to stop
there; on the one hand it is the duty OF
the court to see that the rights of the
poor seamen, and everybody else, are
protected "a but on the other hand,
It is the duty of the court to see that
its processes are not abused. i think
it most outrageous in this case for
q warrant to be issued by the come
missioner for a claim Of such q trivial
amount; and since the commissioner. 10
an officer of the court, and while
his judgment cannot be final, I think
the Circuit Court, by which this officer
was appointed, should intervene y and I
therefore direct that an order be entered
up In the Circuit Court suspending Conn
missioner Shannon from further exer-
oising the office of commissioner, until
the further order Of the Circuit Court.
