Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1883-02-28

to the request Of the House for a conference
on the internal revenue bill having been re-
ceived, the Speaker appointed Messrs. Kel-
ley, Mckinley, Haskell, Randall and Carlisle
as conferees on part of the House.
The supplemental post-route bill was
passed.
After short parliamentary wrapgle, the
| House went into Committee Of the Whole on
the river and harbor bill.
| Mr.. Psge briefly explained its provisions.
| Mr.. Horr further explained amp defended
| the bill. Mr.. Guenther supported the bill
aud Mr.. Richardson n. Y, argued against
it.
During the progress of Mr.. Richardson's
| speech he wasiHterrupted by Mr.. Hutchins and
| a noisy and humorous, stormy and wholly un-
| Ineligible discussion arose az to the benefits
| which New York had received from the
Federal treasury. The committee was in a
perfect uproar, nearly every member being
| on his feet, aud two or three dozen address
| ing the Chair at the same time. The decli-
nation OF the chairman TO recognize any one
until the committee came TO order had no
effect, as no recognition was asked,
for several members kept up running de-
| bate amid cheers OF applause and laughter
which rendered not only their words but di.
rections of the Chair inaudible. Mr.. Page at
last managed TO catch the ear of the chair
| man, and the committee, on his motion, rose
The condition OF the House ia regard TO the
uprosr Of the proceedings was no improve
ment on that OF the committee, and it took
FIVE minutes continuous rappings of the
gavsl and some very sharp words from the
Speaker pro tenn Robinson. Mass to secure
any degree of quiet.
Mr.. Page then moved a limit of debate to
two hours.
Mr.. Dwight moved to amend by making it
three hours.
Amid good deal of renewed confusion
vote was taken, and no.guorum point was
raised, with good deal of vehemence by
Mr.. Van Voorhis.
Mr.. Holman suggested, in order TO save
time, compromise might be arrived at by
fixing the limit at two aud one-hslf hours
81 will not make any arrangements with
the gentleman from New York" Van Voor-
his replied Mr.. Page. Mr.. Van Voorhis
shouted with emphasis amid cries of "Ohi
Sit downp'), "No mule-driver or stage-driver
from California can crack whip over this
House." Finally Mr.. Dwights motion wss
lost, and a compromise of two and one-half
hours was agreed to.
Mr.. Hisceck then suggested that those two
and half hours be consumed tonight, but
there was stern objection, Mr.. Burrows plac-
ing his opposition on the ground that the
members of the Select Mississippi River
Committee desired to present their views in
an Ineligible manner. and Mr. Cox statinp
his unwillingness to address "a pack Of
wolves here tonight"
After another noisy wrapgle the House
again went into Committee of the Whole,
but in a few minutes rose. Mr.. Page then
moved for arecess until 10 O'Clock tomorrow.
but no quorum voted and the House adj
iourned.
