Disorder in the House.

The House of Representatives was
the scene of more disorder and ~ill-feel-
ing yesterday than at any time since
the days of the Fifty-first Congress,
over five years ago, when the demo.
cratic members denounced Speaker
Reeds arbitrary rulings. The cause Of
the turbulence was the arrest of mem
bers who had no leave of absence, on a
general warrant Of Speaker Crisp, in
order to cur a quorum on the Bland
silver seigniorage bill. Mr.. Cummings,
whose name had been included in the
list of absentees, claimed that he had
been present in the House every day
since the session opened and defied a
deputy sergeant-at.arms who made the
attempt to arrest him. He character
lied this session on Washington's birth
day as a farce, and moved an adjourn
ment. His motion was voted down.
A riotous scene followed, when Gen.
Sickles denounced his arrest. General
Sickles demanded that the warrant Tor
his arrest be read by the clerk and
llcu al SuCO ludC do tHS hoiiohS SihhP'
directed the sergeant-at-arms to arrest
members, without specifying who the
members were, it could not be valid.
Mr.. Dockery, of Missouri, who was the
Speaker pro tenn. in the absence OF
Speaker Crisp, who was sick, had TO
call on the sergeant-at-arms to suppress
the disorder growing out of the excited
behavior of members. Mr.. Bland, I'M
able to muster a quorum on his silver
seigniorage bill, offered q motion to
adjoin, which was adopted. 1t is gen
orally conceded that arrests of mem
bers on the warrant of the Speaker
are illegal, therefore, arrangements
have been made for a change in the
form of the House warrants. Feeling
between the silver and anti-silver men,
bers of the House, caused by the efforts
of the former to secure a quorum, is so
high that it is thought a postponement
of further discussion of the silver seig-
niorage bill to later in the session may
follow. One hundred members of the
House have signed a petition for a eau
Gus for the purpose Of considering the
propriety of changing the rules of the
House with reference to the course that
should be pursued when members fail
to vote.

DURING the discu son of a bill in the

DURING the discu son of bill in the
lower branch of the legislature a day
or two ago, a member stated that III
one of the counties of the State the
people in burying their dead simply
placed them in a gully, head up NIL
and drove q stake at the foot OF the
bodies. To this the member from the
county referred to replied that the
land from which the detractor OF his
people came, was so poor that a bag OF
fertilizer had to be placed under the
heads of their dead to enable them to
rise at the resurrection. 1t is printed
that this reply drought down the
house, and was cheered time and
again" Compared with such delicate
and refined wit, that OF Hunt and Sher-
idan pales into utter insisniticance.
No wonder the body in which
it received such applause came
within four votes of passing a bill
compelling the railroad and steamboat
companies to supply its members with
free passes.

OYsTERs.--The joint committee from
Maryland and Virginia met in Wash
ington yesterday in accordance with a
Joint resolution adopted in both legisla-
lures for the purpose of securing a con-
current longing and dredging season
for the two States. After a vast
amount of oratory the joint committee
decided to report to the two State legis-
latures a law providing for beginning
the longing season on the lst of Sep
TENDER, ending April 25, and beginning
the dredging season on October Is, end
ing March 10.
This agreement practically moves the
Maryland longing eason up Is days, as
it now opens on the 18th of September.
1t also lengthens the season FIVE days;
as the present laws in Maryland forbid
longing after the goth of April. The
present dredging laws of both States
provide for exactly the same season,
beginning, October 18th and ending
April 1st. The agreement reached yes
terday cuts off the last 10 days of this
season in both States.

PEOPLE WHO stand so perpendicular

therefore, must be those southern tree

moval of every cent of duty on coal, IN
order that a syndicate of northern men
who have recently purchased the Nova
Scotia mines may have a ready market
for all their product, to the consequent
loss OF the southern coal and railroad
interests, and who at the same time
favor a forty per cent. duty on northern
manufactures. If they were northern

as they are now pursuing would at
least be consistent but, as they hail
from the South, and belong to a party
that has declared for a revenue taritf,itl is

Proceeding in this strain Mr.. Bland

Mr.. Bynum and Mr.. Coombs also

earnest appeals for the support Of this cause.
Bishop Penick spoke of the great mortality

harvest. Unless the opportunity was soon
improved it would be lost. The whites of the

people as did the generation just preceding

A Cross IN THE HEAvENs.-At Oil
City, Pa, at ten o'clock last night
thousands OF people in that city and
vicinity were gazing at q marvellous
spectacle in the heavens. High to-
wards the zenith in the East, a huge
cross white in color and indescribably
brilliant, blazed in the sky, while the
moon, encircled by a star light, made
a beautiful centerpiece. At each corn
err of the cross appeared to be huge
balls of living fire, of all the colors of
the rainbow. The phenomena lasted
for nearly half an hour. The meteoro-
logican sharps silence the superstitious
by saying it was caused by a peculiar
condition of the atmosphere and the
presence of q thin cloud that formed a
sort of lens, causing q refraction of the
rays of light from the moon.

INTELLIGENCE from Richmond Is to
the effect that the bill to legalize pri-
mary elections is not likely to pass at
this session of the Legislature. Well,
hardly, it is supposed. About one
third of the voters of the State oppose
the democratic party, and why they
should be taxed to pay the expenses OF
democratic primaries is not easily told.
For just as good reasons ward, city,
county and State conventions should
be legalized. The State, as a body pol
itic, has nothing to do with parties.
Primaries are the means by which par
ties, sometimes, select their candidates,
and when they do, the party members,
not the State, should conduct them and
pay the expense thereof. The State
only comes in when the candidates who
have been nominated by primaries, or
by any other means, are TO be elected.

result of all the elections held since

they are giving ample warrant for
Reedism by refusing to vote when
