BRFAKING UP OF THE HEAD CENIRE F03. THE HOLIDAYS EXCITiN3 AND FUNNY 8CENE8, ETC. Yesterday we took a stroll Into the House of Reps to see the doing of the nation's Head Centres on the eve of a holiday, and found them with their heads completely turned round, except Mr, Morrissey's, which was gibbous, tho result of a discussion with Mr. John C. Heenan some years ago. After a prayer by the Chaplain, Mr. Morrlesey and other members entered the Hall In force. Mr. 8paldins (ludglng from the way be sticks to a project,he must be the "glue'' man) rose to a personal explanation, and called attention to an artide which had appeared In the Chronicle, relative to a bill introduced by him. Mr. Morrtesey, Interrupting, said "Wo don't Want any fellows Introduced here now, we want to adjourn for the holidays 1" Mr. Mor rlgeey being called to order, Mr. Spalding con tinued, by saying that he bad Introduced a bill 1 reduce the salaries. OCB ARTIST'S IDEA OF A "fiTBAlGHT." Mb. Lawrence, of Ohio, followed with an ar gument in support of the same proposition. He would urge the cutting down of the salaries and the mileage bill. He would give his extra pay of $1000 to the conscience fund Ma. Mobbibsey said he would "see that $1000 wad go $600 better." (Cries of "Good for Mor rissey 1") The Speaker said The member from New York will not introduce his professional terms in debate in this House. Mb. . Morbissey I will introduce who I please. I always had that privilege to any house I went to. (Cries of "Order !) Mr. Lawrence resumed He would urge the the passage of two bills, one for reduction of sala ries, and one for reduction ol mileage, and make joint resolution OTJR ARTISTS IDEA OF A "FULL BAND." Mb. Mobbissey I hope It will be allot Joint "Itesolution, as Christmas is close upon us. The Speaker said that the gentleman from New York must not call Mb. MoitBiesEY I am not afraid to "call" when 1 please. I "called" my friend Mr. Wood Inst week, and though I had a "flush" he knocked me for "a cool ten thousand." The Speaker said It seemed impossible to Mb. Mobbissey No such thing. I have lost more money with good hands than when I was butting with no pair and a Jack ahead: nolhing was Impossible. Not two nights ago I was knocked with three Queens to the tune of ten thousand, and filled the p. t. (Cries of ''Order, order 1" and "Shame!") Mr. Morrlssey continued amid much din: Mr. Speaker, am I to be crowded to the ropes in this manner? I would like to know who was referee here, because I'll not stand this. Tlii is as bad an in England." (Cheers.) CUB AKTlKT'S IDEA OF A "ILVSH." The Speaker here interrupted, and said he would bave to hand over the member . from New York into tbe cus i Mr. Mobbishey (excitedly) You can't hand rte over to any'cun!1. In this House, Tin not to ie "Muffed orl " low. Kit. Randall wanted to know what the mem ber from New York wanted ? Mb. Mobbispey Auother chance at Don. Wood I (Laughter, and tries of "Oo in John!") After order had been partially restored, Mr. Lawrence again commenced bis argument lor a reduction of salaries. He said tbe true mode of compensation was by per diem wages, os the practice was the first thirty years of the Govern ment. A salary had a tendency rather to induce a neglect of business, whi le a per diem secured It. Mb. Mobbissey What docs per diem mean f Mb. Lawrence It means, by the day. Mb. Mobbissey I won't serve In any Con- f.reps by the day for a dime. The idea was pre posterous. He didn't come here for the money, as he had more thrfh be wanted, but he was going to get the "pool" he run for, or throw up bis "hand." TnE BrEAKER The gentleman from New York must not break Mb. Morbissey No, sir; I am not going to. It will take more than this crowd to breuk me. Mb. Maynabd It seems to me, Mr. Speaker, that we are "coil g It blind." Mr. Mobbissey I'll ' sec" the gcntlomnn from Tennessee If nobody else will. I never pass a "blind;" I have made that a rule, and have, in the lo'ng run, won by It. Mb. Maynabd again arce, and said he would havoto ask the Speaker to call the gentleman from New York p Mb. IMorbissey Two pair, King's ahead 1 No gpntleman in the House can beat that. I'll go five to three on that any day. Mb. Lawrence, of Ohio, Hgain commenced his argument in favor of a reduction of salaries. The Constitution denied the English rule, which gives no pay to members of Parliament. Mr. Mobbissey here 6ent up to the Speaker's desk a late copy of Bell's Life, with all the rules ns decided by the Prize Ring Association. Mb. Lawrence continued Large salaries are not necessary to prevent corruption. The cor rective of this was found in the virtue and intel ligence of the people. Adequate talent could be secured for all offices on moderate salaries. Mr. Morbissey Yes; I've had them with small salaries, and they have stole more than would amount to a pretty big salary. I believe In big salaries. The "marker" I bave here at Washington gets fifty dollars a night, and I don't think it too much; he is a perfectly honest fellow, with a less salary than that, I believe he'd steal. (Applause.) Mr. Cobb wanted to know how the gcntluman from New York rates our standing ? Does he think this is a gambling saloon ? Does he come here flushed Mb. Mobbissey No, sir; nor you either. I'll bet three to one there ain't a "Hush" in any gen tleman's hand in the room. The Speaker here interrupted, and reminded tbe gentleman from New York that thi9 was tbe last debate previous to adjournment over for the holidays, and if tbe members would pursue their debate on the reduction of salaries In a straight. Mb. MORBISSEY "Straights" . don't count; he had never heard of a first-class place where "straights" counted; sometimes, for fun, they have counted them, but they are too easy "put up;" he hoped, for tbe honor of the country, no gentlemen of his acquaintance would count "straights." (Laughter.) Mb. Lawrence again took np his proposition recommending a reduction of salaries and mile age, and he believed the people would endorse the bill. Mb. Mobbissey I would never doit; I'll never endorse any bill; I was once struck by lzzy Lazarus for two hundred and sixty dollars by endorsing, and I'll never endorse again. There is, generally, about as much chance of getting your money as there is when you allow ajparty Uo "straddle you blind," and that I never allow. If anybody was going to en dorse a bill for the gentleman from Ohio, he would "see it" with or without the endorse Hient, or would go as much "better" as the gen tleman's "pile" would warrant, but he would prefer the "ivories" from the cashier to any body's bill, for he knew then that everything was on the square. Mb. Grinnell now obtained the floor, and said that he plainly saw that the gentleman from the Filth Dlbtrict of New York was highly excited in view of a week's holiday, and that it would be useless to continue the consideration of the reduction of salaries and mileage further. He would therefore move the House stund adjourned over till after tho holidays. Mb. Mobbissey said he would like to make a motion first, that the public printer be ordered to print 50,000 copies, for the use of tho mem bers, of the last number of BeWs Life, contain ing the full rules of the P. It., as revised by the Prize Ring Association, and the full score of the "mill" between the Staley bridge Infant and tbe Manchester Chicken. No one seconding the motion, it was defeated, and the motion to adjourn was carried. IMPORTANT TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH. Station House, Faibmotjnt Park, December 21.
