and calling in members from the Hobbies.

before had such suggestion been made
by the speaker. After a sharp passage be-
tween him and the speaker, the journal
was approved Mr.. Haugen then demad-
ed the previous question on the Langston-
Venabie contested election case. On
ordering the previous question the votes
stood yeas, 1875; nays, 10-Mr. Hill (lll.),
republican, voting in the negative This
being no quorum call of the house was
ordered. Then there was a somewhat ex-
citing scene The democrat members
were endeavoring in every way to prevent
the consideration of the election case,
and in pursuance of this policy, almost ali
of them left the hall to break a quorum,
Mr.. Burrows called the attention of the
speaker to the fact, and asked If the me II
beers present could not be obliged to re-
main. The speaker replied that the rules
were intended to secure this end. He
added that be did not see why they were
not observed. Accordingly the assistant
door keeper, Mr.. Hauk, directed all the
door leading into the hall to be locked
Hardly had this been done before Repre-
sentative Kilgore, of Texas, presented
himself at the speakers left hand and
sought to go out into the loby. He found
that the door was locked and the door
keeper in charge. MIR. Hayes refused tc
unlock it. Unlock that door," demand
ed the stalwart Texan. The door
keeper moved not, whereupon Mr.. Kill
gore gave a sudden and vigorous kick and
the frail baize structure flew open and Mr.
Kilgore strobe out. He was followed il
about the same fashion by Representative
Grain, of Texas. Cumming, of New York
and Coleman of louisiana, who in turn
forced the lock open without opposition
from the door keeper At the moment
Mr. Kilgore drove the door flying wide
open, Representative Dingley, of Maine
was approaching from the other side. The
door struck him with full force in the
face, bruising his face badly. For a time
it was feared and so generally reported
the bone had been broken but it was founo
not to be the case upon examination. II
being impossible to retain a quorum the
house adjourned.

nickel piece. In regard to the house bill
to reduce the amount of the United States
bonds required of national banks and tC
restore to the channels of trade the eX
cessive accumuIations of lawful money in
the treasury. Mr.. Sherman said he be
lieved the passage would tend much tC
quiet even the present agitation in tn,
money market. Undoubtedly the effect OF
the bill will be not only to prolong, but tC
encourage the national bank system. Mr.
Plumb feared that the bill would finally re
suit in "a contraction of the currency
While he agreed that the national bank
ing system, as a system of dis cunt anC
deposit. was wise and ought I've continu
ed it was plain to be seen that 1t was moi
long to be system of havir = relation
to currency. The banks themsel1 es wanted
to get out of that business. Congress coulC
not afford tc let the national bank cur
rency disappear without supply ng a cur
