published in the Nebraska News of the
31st of Jan. 18.T7. We understand from
a jprvate but .reliable source, that the
Kditorof the1 Nebraska News, was re
quested to republish this resolution, a
short time since, in order to remind the
people that their Representatives, were
under" instructions this winter, which had
never beta, recalled t but the aforesaid
Editor,' k(beiny hut the tool and slave, of
one Morton, who shaped his course in di

hit master, in rather an unfavorable light.
IVery "one ' knows, who is acquainted
with the cercumstances, that there was far
mormcesshy, for adjourning the Legis
lature this winter than there was last , and
theres ' not si doubt, , that if the cercumstances-
had continued to demand it last
wtite,. it. would have been done. .
This Resolution shows that this is not a I
neuc'idea fif , adjourning the Legislature
beyond the ioflusnce and controle of a
bullying , meb. 1 It .shows that the people
are ready and willing to instruct their
represeixatires to vindicate their rights in

The House was in session sll night,
mainly engaged in taking die yeas and
nays, on motion to adjourn, eating, smo

iterioua all'ray occurred, which was thus
narrated by n member and a witness.'
Mr. Grow objected to Mr. Quitman
making any remarks. ,

object 0 to your own side if the House.
Mr. Grow responded. , This is a free
Halt, and every one has a . right to be
where ho pleases.

and raid : 1 want lo know what you mean
by such an answer us that (
Mr. Grow replied. I mean just what
I say, that this is a free Hall, and every
man bus a right to be where he pleases.
Mr. Keitt taking Air. Grow by the
throat raid : I will let you know tliut you
are a dumned Black Ilepublicnu puppy.
Mr. Grow knocked up his hutul, say
ing: I shall occupy such place in this
Hall us I please, and no nigger-driver
shall crack his whip over me.
Mr. Keitt then again grabbed Mr.
Grow by the throat, Mr. Grow knocked
his hand off, and Mr. Keitt coming at
him ogam, Mr. Grow knocked him
down. '. '..,'.'

heavy blows. , . , , , 1
The Speaker loudly and Imperatively
demanded order, and called on the Ser-gtant-av-arms
to interfere. That func
tionary, carrying his mace of office, to
gether with his assistant, hurried to the
scene and crowded into the thickest of
the fight, in which at least a dozen mem
bers were congregated, fcome minutes
elapsed before this truly fearful, coutcst
was quieted. Further difficulties are ap
prehended. There was a dead calm in comparison
to the bcene just enacted when Mr. Quit
man moved that thev now adjoern and
take up the question ou the reference of
the message of the President on Kansas
affairs, on Monday at one 0 cloc P. M.
Emphatic and general responses from 1
the Republican side of the House, No,
No !
Confusion began to break out afresh,
when the Speaker said he would direct
the Sergeant-at-arms to put under arrest
those who would disregard the order of
die House. !
Campbell, of Ohio, said he foresaw
disagreeable feelings would result here
from the exciting question connected vt ith
Kansas affairs. - lie was called to order
by Mr. lkrksdule. Campbell said he
wished the gentleman from Mis. to know
that he was his peer.
From 4 till 0 1-2 o'clock the time was

hour Mr. Quitman submitted a resolution
that the House adjourn till Monday next,
when the subject under consideration, the
Kansas Message, ah ill be resumed, and
the vote on the standing proposition shall
bo taken without wy tur her delay being
occasioned by debate or dilatory motions.
L'nanin otis consent was given for the'in
tr jduotion of the resolutions which was
agreed to and the Speaker announced the
House adjourned till Monday, when the
subject will come up as the speciui order.

that its proceedings, during the session of
Friday, were broken in upon in an un

the responsibility for the violation of its

aggressor, and whatever reponsibility

that he should make whatever reparation
