LATE'T FHOM WASHINGTON.
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.

AN UN-DTJTYF UL SUBJECT.
A cnsioiu-liouee officer on the Canada line
lately stopped a woman carrying a buudle.
"What have you there," he demanded? She
hct-itated, stammered, and then said, "Nothing
dutiable." He insisted on seeing it. She re
sisted at first, but at length surrendered the
suspected package, saying, "Take it, then, and
niueh good may it do you 1" While she went on
her way he proceeded to examine his treasure,
which proved to be an infant a few days old.

The unfortunate officer now finds the duties
heavier than he expected.
