IDENTIFY imagined that the Speaker had not
taken the precaution to order early in the
morning force of clerks TO engross the bill.
When he demanded the reading of the BILL he
found that he was sadly mistaken, however. for
NO sooner had he called for II, than the big
document was produced from under the Clerks
desk, amid shouts of laughter and applause from
the Republican side, and placed In front OF the
reader. who at once started upon his task. This
unfortunate victim OF Mr.. Springers petty spite
fulness had proceeded for about five minutes in
his task, when it occurred TO Mr. Springer that
he was reading too FAST and lie appealed TO the
Speaker. saying that he was anxious to compare
the original of the bill with the copy which he
had himself kept and corrected while actually
under discussion. While Mr.. Springer was making
this request much uproar prevailed in every part
OF the Chamber but notably on the Democratic
side. The Speaker promptly raped for order. and
assured his friend from Illinois that he need not
give himself any anxiety; that every opportunity
would be given him to convince himself of tie
correctness of the engrossed bill.

Mr. Buckalew, himself a Democrat, sought TO
soften the anger of Mr.. Springer. lie asked

bili dispensed with, but M Springer objected

he would come out loser.
