Hubbard and Wilson had some very
sharp words, and Mr.. Fulkerson grew
quite excited in championing the
Speaker. Mr.. Hubbard pressed matters
very closely and went on TO show that
the decision as rendered and as IT ap'
peared in the Journal, were two differ
ent things.
MI Wilson Denied This
but Mr.. Hubbard drew forth the fact
that the Speaker had prepared the de-
cision for the Journal. The Speaker put
this objection rapidly to flight by quot
ing the 5lst House rule which is as fol-
lows: :.
81. The Clerk OF the House, under dl-
rection of the Speaker, shall keep iull
and correct Journal OF the proceedings;
and il shall be the duty OF the Speaker
to examine the Journal daily before 1t
is read, and canse all errors and onls-
sions therein to be corrected.
Further, Clerk Peyton explained that
he had not heard the decision, being OUT
of the room at the time.
Mr.. Beckwith made cool and
collected speech. Hubbard, Wilson and
FulkersOn went at il again, at times be-
coming quite savage. Mr.. Depue de'
manded the previous question and the
main question, "Shall the vote by which
the decision of the Huose was sustained
over that OF the Speaker be reconsider
ed?" an ave and nay vote being had, al
the request Of Mr.. Hubbard, 1t was de.
cided IN the affirmative by vote Oi IL

Orr, Sinclair, Riley and Wilson lot Bar
bour). w
Those not voting were Messrs. Wilson
(Speaker), Davis, Floyd, McCrum, Moi
iett, Morrow, Wayt, Wells (oi Tyler,
Wells (Of MariOn).
The question was then upon the APP
peal from the decision OF the chair made
on Saturday last; by the same proceed:
ing and the same vote the decision OF
the chair
Was Adopted as That Of the House.
On motion of Mr., Ferguson, the vote
was recOnsidered by which the House
adopted the resolution OF Mr.. Hubbard
providing for extra night sessions, and
the same was laid on the table.
Night Sessions Aga.n
Mr.. Beckwith offered the following,
which was adopted:
RsSOired, That on and after this day
the sessions OF this House, shall be from
ga. NJ. TO l. NJ; from > M. to = p. VI,
and from 7:30 to 10 P. NJ. except Tor
Tuesday the Sth inst.
Thus ended the fight, which was a
decidedly strong one.
The passage between Mr.. Hubbard
and Mr.. FulkerSon, on tie qu 'stl' as
to whether the manuscript or the rint-
ell copies was the Journll OF th9 House,
was "a regular eorker.
The Appropriations Again.
The question now came back to Mr..
Evans amendment and Mr. Ferguson
amendment to the same. Ii was adopt
ed by vote of 3S 70 -, I not voting.
The question then being on Mr..
Evans amendment as amended, it was
rejected by a aye and nay vote.

and a hall. IL was beyond doubt
A Repu blican Scheme
for the manufacture of campaign thun-
der, and il is hoped they are satisfied.
The suhject OF free schools, irreducibIe
school fund aud kindred subjects were
pate WAS a sharp aud brilliant one. Mr..
Hubbard was the main supporter OF the
Evans amendment. while he was OPP
nosed by Messrs. Ferguson, Leonard,
FulkersOn and Wilson, vino were IN
favor OF it with the Ferguson addition.
Mr.. Wilson was especially severe, his
usual manner, when worked up on any
question, and gave some heavy shot To
the Ohio county member, who was not
al all behind hand at repartec. AS BE-
fore said, it was political move, and the
Democratic majOrlty Immediately dis
covered it to be such, and with It's brl'-
liant leaders, managed to cover its flank
thoroughly, leaving no technical point
for the minority to attack.
And Now the Normal Schools.
The noise, heat and worry OF the pre-
ceding battle had about died away,
when neS engagement was opened 10y
the introduction of the following amend.
ment by Mr.. Morrow: Strike out the
$1,000 as the appropriation Tor the Nor
NAL Schools, and insert $4,000. Then
was there
Music in the AIR.
Several were very much in favor OF the
appropriation among the foremost and
strongest champions of which were
Messrs. Morrow and Beckwith. They
were supported by others, who attacked
the opposition in fine style. Mr.. Quar-
rier moved To amend by making the APP
preparation $4,000. which was adopted
by vote Of 81 to 26.
The Charleston Capitol
Mr.. Lowry, who had been violently
opposed to the above, now said that
there must he money TO provide for this.
and he moved to take that money from
