portunity to obtain seat made vacant by
some departing spectator. A proposition
made by Bedford to have the families of the
members admitted to the floor met with OBJ

Laid on the table.
Then the deadlock upon the election case
continued until o'clock, when Hiscock pre-
seated the conference report on the sundry

agreed to.

propriating $40, 600 fer the alteration of in.

Passed.
At 4:30 motion was made for recess,
but friends of the bonded extension bill OF
posed il, and raised point of no quorum.
For half an hour the telers stood in their
places and became the butt of ocular remarks
and suggestions on the part OF membsrs, who
were in the best of humor.
The usual scenes attendant On an all night
session vera enacted. Though the galleries
were practically vacant, the attendance on
| the floor was good. and members lounged hack
in chairs and smoked, told stories and Laughed
to their hearts content.
At o'clock Butterworth moved to proceed
to business on the Speakers table-a motion
which elected shout of laughter. Ruled out
of order by the Speaker.
| The Speaker suggested chat there were
upon his table number Of Important House
| bills with Senate amendments, which should
bs considered. He asked unanimous consent
| for that purpose.
Butterworth objected, which led to a re-
mark from Steel that the whisky bill was en-
titled to as much consideration as any other
measure.
White vshemently declared that the whisky
bill should nevar be considered on Sunday.
Such proposition was unworthy tie Demo
cratic party, much less worthy q member Of

After another unsuccessful roll call on the
eiec.iisS- case, the members settled down to
fun. Sleeping members became targets for
paper balls and copies of old bills, which
vera thrown at them from every direction,
and many nap was unceEemOniously dis
turbed. AS morning approached, however,
elaep departed, and the members appeared az
bright as IL the early hours of the evening.
Shortly before dawn Young suggested, as o
compromise proposition, that st IL o'clock the
House should vote upon the whisky bill and
the election case. Randall obi acted.
DO you propose" queried White, to
swap off colored Representative for
whisky"
81 do, replied Young. with o frankness
relished by the House, and was greeted with
roars Of laughter.
Shortly after 5 o'clock A. NJ. Robinson rose
and called attention to this Congress making
record before the country and reclrd in
history. He thought everybody would agree
with him that too much whisky had been
taken out of bond already. Shouts Of laugh
ter. It was in the interest of good order and
good government that the House take recess
for three hours, in order to avoid any diff.
Guilty, any personal controversy. and in order
TO avoid any false attitude before the coun-
try. Let every man have time to cool
and reflect. Let members come back in
three hours and try and do their duty accord
lag to their convictions. He asked unani-
nous consent for o recess Of three hours.
Objection was made, and again the monot-
onous roll.call was proceeded with.
At its conclusion, at 6:20, the House took
reces, until $50.
After recess Holman protested, in the
name of the RELIGIOUS sentiment of the coun-
try, against attending to anything but in.
dispsnssbls public business.
The chair being temporarily occupied by
Blackburn, the usual complimentary r solu-
ton to tho Speaker, for the ability and
courtesy with which he had presided, was
offered by Randall.
Blanchard inquired whether one objection
would prevent present consideration of the
resolution. Ii 30, he would object.
TIE Speaker pro TEN. said it would not.
The question was then put, Blanchard and
several others insisting on count, and the
resolution was adopted-S6 to s.
In the course of the forenoon Knott, stat.
ing that his Congressional career would ia an
hour and half close forever, appealed to the
courtesy and magnanimity of members to let
him have the poor privilege of vote on
bill In which the people of his own Congress-
ional District and State were profoundly in.

"What bill is is?' asked his colleague,
White.

replied.
"What!" exclaimed White, in tone of
surprise and horror, the whisky billiard

An effort was then made TO gel the Lee and
Richardson case out of the way of other bus
mess by motion to lay it On the table, but
the motion was voted down.
At 11:30 Reese offered the following reso.
