This lie the seven dsYs wonde. OF the
session, as the measure il one ,hs ps''
form demands, and has nov reached
4 point where it will take TWO thilas
vote to amend Representative Monts
J. Moore Of Milan, surprised tie house
by moving TO reconsider the 7o,e oy
which the bill WAS passed to engross-
ment, the effect of which would be to
reopen the subject, and render j; sub
ject to amendment By majority vote
Alone, bu. the house sat upon hin and
refused TO reconsider
A, the afternoon session today 81
effort was made TO sldetrack Smith
assignment Law By the suspension OF
the rules so a 70 take up other bills
out OF Their regular order, but every
such proposition was voted down.
The assignment bill VAS then con.
sidered on its final passage, AMI after
some Slight amendments which were
satisfactory to the friends OF the
measure, including the protection Of
of clerks and employees to the extent
OF $50 each for wages due and accu.
mulating within the six months pre-
vious to the assignment, was passed.
Mr. Smith, as cincher, moved to
re consider the vote, and to lay the
motion to reconsider GA the table.
The ayes and noes were demanded,
and the vote showed no quorum pres
ent. A call Of the house was ordered,
and Wilson of Harrison was called to
the chair.
Several motions to adjourn were
made, each to different hour to.
morrow morning, and tie cages and
noes were demanded by at least
dozen, when the rules require only
three, but the gentleman in the chair
ignored the call, put the motion to
ad ourn to 10 o'clock and declared
same carried, although it was plain
tina: the vote against adjourning to
that hour was at least two 10 one.
There was considerable Indignation
over the action of Mr.. Wilson, and be
was soundly criticised on all hands,
many members seeking out Speaker
Cochran and protesting against the
calling of Mr.. Wilson to the char in
future deliberations OF the body. Mr.
Wilson evidently had no malice in
the matter, thinking perhaps that a
little manifestation Of absoluteism
would not be resented in the light OF
the absence Of a quorum, but whatever
his intention, he has stionably
suffered severely in the estimation of
the entire body by his arbitrary ruling
today.
The bill against ticket scalpers,
which passed the senate several days
ago will not have such smooth sailing
in the house. The remarkable thing
abou, this measure is, that it received
the recommendation of the railroad
commission. The bill was originally
rendered to q Clark member In the
house, who declined to introduce it.
This gentleman says the railroad PEG
pie seemed to think because he was
elected as Clark man he would in
troduce any measure the railroad PEG.
pie wanted without any reference to
the rights of the pooplt, but he re.
garded the bill as an outrage, and
would have nothing to do with it. He
suggested however, that the party
who had approached him on the sub
ject, submit it to the railroad commits
sion, having no idea but what that
would end the matter, when to his as
tonisl ment, the bill popped up In the
senate, introduced by Steele CT Free
stone and approved by the railroad
