A Motion to Adjourn Over Election Day
Carried Amid Great Disorder.

A resolution to adjourn the Chamber Of Com.
merce over Tuesday, election day, was
offered last Saturday, but being objected ia
it was laid over until to-day when il
came up for discussion Mr.. Rowland raised the
point of order that the resolution should have
been referred to committee, and after an ami
mated discussion engaged in by Messrs Rowland
Sherlock, Samuel Reid, George F. Davis
Richard Smith, Frazier, and others during
which personal remarks were made, cheering
kissing and all manner of disorder INDUCED in.
The President sustained Mr.. Rowland's point OF
lost Shouts for division of the house, and the
appointment of tellers was kept up fol
some time, and as soon as a little order was OBJ
tanned, mJtions to refer the matter to a com.
mittee to report in five minutes, to
adjourn and to hear points of order
We're made from all parts of the house. until the
President himself became confused. Mr.. Row.
land took the stand, but was met
with cheers hisses and shouts
to hire hail if he wished to speak, and it was
some time before he could be heard. Others who
attempted TO speak met with the same fate,
and after voting down other motions to adjourn
the Chair decided that the Chamber had right 10
adjourn until Wednesday without referring the
matter to a committee II i SO desired. Another
burst of thunderstorm followed, and the Chair
of going back onfshis former decision, but the
motion OF Mr. Smftlpto adjourn until Wednesday
was finally got before the house and carried.
A more dsorderly meeting has seldom been
held. The shouting was almost deafening, re-
marks were made which will be regretted, and
hard feelings W II doubt esS result Oh account oi

away from his master and took refuge in
the cane brakes on the Missouri side oppo-
site Obion County, Tennessee. The weather
was extremely cold and he became FROST
bitten, losing his toes and infaming his
body with a burning fever, which has
never deserted him, and which he says
nothing but the cooling application of mud
allays.
His place of residence is generally To-
Gated near Union City, Obion County, and
consists merely of hole in the ground
some four feet square and five feet deep,
filled with soft mud, with rude shelter
over the top. There he sits from day to
day, and completely covered with mud up
to his waist. near his arm-pits. He never
allows the mud to get dry on himself, but
so soon as it begins to dry up he plasters
himself with more wet mud, and thus
keeps himself completely clothed with the
same to his waist. Visitors bring him all
he requires to eat, and in the severest cold
weather fires on the bank keep him from
freezing. Thousands of people have called
to see him, and he is certainly worthy OF
attention, as all these statements concern
ing him can be verified.
