THE House A LAUGHING STOCK.

Mr.. Reed replied that the Constitution did
not authorize the House to override its pro-
visions. This House had deliberately over
ridden the Constitution by requiring a voting
quorum instead of present quorum, and it
was this that had made the House 4 laughing
stock for gods and men.
The Speaker did not think that he had au-
thority TO order a members name to be elimi-
mated from the roll call and overruled the
point OF order.
Mr. Bowers was excused-yeas, 100; nays. 65.

Mr.. Meredith did not deny the soft impeach-
ment, but remarked that if he had gone he
had paid his expenses. Laughter He was

point OF order that gentlemen under arrest

a decision OF Speaker Winthrop, in which he
refused to recognize a member who was Ill
