A Legislative snuabbIe.

COLUMBUS, u. Jan %, $40 p. NJ
The senate chamber is becoming jamned
with spectators as the hour for the
joint converting arrives. There is some
bad blood and wild talk, but no apparent
personal encounter. The parliamentary
fight will likely be one of authority be-
tween the president and clerk, the latter
says he will stand by the majority under
the rule.
1886 p. IN. The Democratic senator's
have Just filed into the chamber and were
received with cheers by the lobby, which
was soon checked by the sergeant-at-arms
The call showed all members present,
and the fight was immediately inaugurated
on the motion to dispense with further pro
coedings under the call. Republicans
holding the call had exhausted itself.
The Republicans have made a motion to
proceed to the order of the day-the
Hamilton county contest.
5p. M. The discussion continues with
a vim, Mr.. Denis %endeayoring to force the
reading ofthe journal, and the Republicans
insisting on proceeding to the hearing of
the Hamilton county cases. The wrangle
is over which journal shall be read; the
chair decides the journal shall notbe real
but the special order shall be taken up.
An appeal was taken from the decision of
the chair, on which he ruled that Hamil-
ton county members could not vote.
The clerk called the names of
Hamilton county members and they
voted. The chair, before announcing
the vote, marked off the vote of the
Hamilton coudty members, and declared
himself sustained.
The Democratic side was engaged in an
effort to get before the body a resolution
which had been agreed upon in caucus
proposing the appointment of a commit
tee to consider the constitutional and
legal relations existing between the sen
ate and its presiding officer. The Demo.
Gratis being unable to get their resolution
before the senate, a final motion was
made to adjourn, and a demand by the
Democrats that the clerk proceed with
the call Of the roll.
The president at first endeavored tC
drown the voice OF the clerk with tn,
gavct, but finally became quiet and tn,
roll was called, twenty-six members voting
for adjournment. The Democratic mem
then arose from their seats and starte,
out, while the clerk handed the roll cal
to the president to be announced, tina
official tore it in separate pieces and threv
il on the floor, while the crowd surged il
from the ratings and the greatest con
fusion and demonstrations prevailed. Tn
clerks all left their places, and as soon a
partial order could be restored, the presi
dent proceeded to read the rules himself
which had been offered by Mr.. Pavey
with one of the senators at the clerk
desk. The Republican minority voted o
the rules and they were declared adopted
In results the senate proceedings stan
about where they did this morning.
Democratic adjournment was taken |
Wednesday at 4 p. m, and the Kepubl
can TO TO morrow morning.
