an improvement in the manner GAtrotting

for about the twentieth time, but the tally
showed no important change, except that
some dozen members, who had voted early
in the evening, did not respond, and that

The members looked haggard and tired.
Many were stretched out at length on the
benches and sofas sound asleep. others,

some OF the older legislators, and murmers
began to arise on both sides, but still no

their weary length along, and still the

His retirement was the signal for aEoth-
er desperate struggle, and the Funders
strove desperately to carry the House with
them. In vain; the lines that had been so
tightly drawn in the early evening were
still intact. There had been no detection
from either: the relative strength was
about seventy to forty-nOt two thirds.
After an half-hour's heated dlscussic n,
Mr.. Frazier. Readjuster, obtained the
floor and branched off in a speech which
lasted couple of hours. A relentless war,
of the Parthian character was waged
against him, and he was beset on all sides.
At four O'Clock in the morning MIR. Hang

fight was very bitter and elvenomed at this

the chair, under his rulings the whole re-

their feet at the same time, each striving
to be heard, aud gesticulating franctically

same monotony followed.

struggled family in the room. making the
aaring gas look yellow and CHASTITY, and

Of victory would incline; but the Readjus-
