The adjournment Of the House on Sat
urday until Il o'clock this morning on
The consideration Of the Quarantine bin
had the effect OF prolonging that legis-
lative day through the session OF the
morning. The Quasqntine bill was finally
passed after one Of the most exciting
scenes on the floor that has occurred
this session. Mr.. Brosius. Of Pennsyl-
Nania, was opposed to the bill and offered
amendmt nts to every section. The one
restricting immigration for one year was
very promptly defeated, as was his other
dilatory motions
The final molions Of Mr. Rayner. Of
Maryland, were Instrumental in creating
a vortex Of parliamentary perpleXities,
into which was drawn Messrs Reed
Breckenridge. Mcmillan. Outhwaite and
others. Nobody really asked Where am
! atT' but several seemed mighty anxious
10 find out just what was going on. and
a goodly number. including several Of
my personal acquaintances, seemed sat
ished that they did not know. and re-
lapsed into Official" correspondence and
the local State papers.
Hon. Bourke Cochran arose to point
of parliamentary inquiry. and Speaker

Immediately behind Mr. Cochran, made
answer TO the inquiry. The two answers
coming at once. and being at variance,
the Tammany orator bowed profoundly
and said: Here is an instance, gentle
men. in which the learned doctors DIS
agree"
In the course Of the debate Mr.. Amos
Cummings. the journalist-statesm OF
New York, opposed the bill, because OF
its infringement upon the rights OF the
States in these matters. The ines ne
said, ARE drifting now too FAR from the
rights Of the States, and the time Tor
drifting has ceased Hereafter when
bill aggregates in the slightest way these
rights. I shall be found vigorously Op-
posing it." He was greeted by cheers
and applause from many OF the oid
line" Democrats.
