Mr. Vigors, the clerk, stepped to the
desk preparatory to oulling tho roll, when
Mr. Gair, making a quick forward move
ment, and before tho astonished Vigors
could comprehend the situation, snatched
the roll book from tho clerk's desk, und
at onco made off with it to his seat,where,
dashing tho volume violently down upon
his desk, loudly declared that the cleric
hould not call the roll.
As may bo apprehended, this episode
at onco created a fearful commotion, and
at once members sprang up ami begun
to roam through tho Hpano toward Mr.
Gair, the first to rouch whom was Mr.
Bickham, who, making a lungo for the
book, was forthwith joined by others, und
i trieo tho tumult became not on
genoral, but so noisy and demount rati
thut it was extremely difficult to hi
which was which, or what was what.
Mr. Gair, who is a powerful tuun, stood
up to the rack bravely, sud l.ke a very !
Hercules bent back his opponents until
they proved too numerous for him, ami iu
the general melee tho book was captured
ami borne back to tho clerk’s desk.
Meanwhile tho struggle between Gair aud
his fellow members evolved demonstra
tions which brought to the surface Humor
ous weapons, and a perfect avalanche of
oaths and genoral personal epithets, but
beyond two Out blows received by Mr.
Gair, uo dumuge resulted, aud gradually i
bimmoring down, all hands withdrawing!
from tho field of battle, resumed their I
seats.
During the fracas a number of members
aud habitues of the lobby le ft the chain-
bor on the double-quick, incited thereto, j
it is confidently believed, by a painful im- |
prossion that death and destruction lurked
in tho ntniosphein. Hergeant-at-arui-
Quinn occupied a prominent position on n
chair, whence ho gesticulated wildly, and j
gave forth frequent vigorous shouts, the i
burden wboreof was a request t<> know
whether tho members intended to disgrace
themselves and tho State.
Tho battle over, Gair quietly ambled to
the water oouler, took n drink and then
took the chair, which Mr. Sour gave up
