Gutta Percha 81: India Rubber
GEMEN'I' ROOTING.
I \HIS article has been thoroughly tested by
builders, Architects, and others, and the
experience ol‘ycars has proved it to be the
cheapest and most durable roofing in use.
' We call attention to the following facts :
1st—-It is fire and water proof.
2d—-From its great ‘elasticity it is not inju-
riously affected by extremes of heat and cold.
3d~It is adapted to all kinds of Roofs,
whether steep or flat, and is not in want of
constant repairs, as is the case with metal and
other roofs.
4tli—'—Tlie cost is only about One—Half that
of Tin, and it is twice as durable.
It is readily applied to Old Shingle Roofs,
without removing the shingles, which is a
great desideratum to parties who do not wish
to risk having their ceilings and furniture ru—
ined, while repairs are being made.
Leaky Tin and Metal Roofs are readily re-
paired with Gutta Perclia Cement, and
prevented from further corrosion and leaking
thereby insuring a perfectly water-tight roof
for many years.
Specimens of the Roofing can he s en by
calling on the subscriber, at South N walk.
All orders by letter will receive prompt at-
tention. D. .F. HUNT, South Norwalk.

Let the World hang loosely round Theo.
‘IWNWM ’
Let the world hang loosely round thee
Like a garment which may fall
At thy bidding ; bear it lightly,
Lest it prove to the a poll.—
One wherein thy hopes of Heaven
May be shrouded deep in gloom;
Let the world hung loosely round thee,
Lest it prove a living tomb.
If in golden chains it binds thcc,
Twined by fortune’s favoring hand,
If its iron fetters grind thee,
Linked by sterner fate's command—
Wear, O wear them lightly, lightly,
To thy spirit they may be
Fatal snares, which may not-slightl y
Bind thee through eternity.
Let the world hang loosely round thee,
For its friendships fade and die,
As a floating bubble bursteth
Ere it reacheth its destiny.
And its loves,—-O, are they written
‘ With an angel’s pen on high 1’-
May we find their precious record
When we pass beyond the sky ?
Let the world hang loosely round thee.
For at best ’tis silvered o‘er
With the fading fleeting shadows
We are grasping ever more.
But with soul and nerve untiring,
Seek your blessed world of light,
And the robes it fiings around thee
Will be spotless, pure and bright.

The Days that are no more.
ruon rsNNi'soN’s “PRINBESP.”
.Tears‘, idle tears, I know not what they mean,
Tears from the depth of some divine despair
Rise in the heart and gather to the eyes,
In looking on the happy Autumn-fields,
And thinking of the days that are no more.
Fresh as the first beam glittering on a sail,
That brings our friends up from the underworld,
Sad as the last which reddens over one ,
That sinks with all that we love below the verge ;
So sad, so fresh, the days that are no more.
Ah, sad and strange as in dark summer dawns,
The earliest pipe of half-waken'd birds
To dying ears, when unto dying eyes
The casement slowly grows a glimmering square;
So sad, so strange, the days that are no more.
Dear as remembcr’d kisses after death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feign’d
0n lips that are for others; deep as love,
Dcep as firstlove, and wild with all regret !
0 Death in life, the days that are no more.

Life's Harvest.
Twilight had gathered in the sheaves 'of the day,
Which time had scattered thickly here and there;
And night, pale night, had bound them one by one,
With the long braids of her own raven hair.
Silent and still, an angel floated down,
And bore the sheaves, the gathered sheaves away;
Ah! some were golden with the ripened grain,
And some were black and blasted with decay.
Yes, day by day, we sow, and twilight comes,
And gathers in the full sheaves, one by one ;
And by and by, life's evening hour will come,
And we shall see the work our hands have done.

Mrs. Candle Redivivus—An Amusing
Curtain Lecture.
“Been out all night again. I’d like to know
where you keep yourself till this time in the
morning. If; not ten minutes since I heard
the clock strike four. You didn’t hear it ?—
Of course you didn’t. You wouldn’t hear the
last trump—the noise would have to travel
through an acre or two of German beer be-
fore it would get to yourhcaring. Had to go
among your German friends? Had to go?
I’d like to know how you had to go? Some
folks are dreadful willing to ‘had’ to go.—
Yes, I know it’s coming on election times;
that’s a good excuse to get away from your
family and your’horne. I wish there was no
electionjn the whole comitry—it would be
much better off if it hadn’t any. What did
you do all night long? Who-did you elect?
Who did you see? Theater and dance ?—
New turn over here. Oh! Lord, 'am I in a
hopde or distillery, or where am I ? What
have you got outside of you? Didn’t drink
too much. You must have got into a beer
barrel then, for it’s coming out all over you
and how it smells. You danced, ch? You
must have cut a pretty figure; guess it was a
lager reel. Do you think I’ll stand this go-
ing off to a dance all night ? Who did you
dance with? I’ll bet she was as homely
as a pumpkin with two holes. in it.—
Look here, you needn’t go to sleep; I want to
have a little domestic conversation with you.
I am your better half, and your better half
proposes to discuss matters with you a little
bit. Late ? It’s early enough to give you a
piece of a woman’s tongue. Tonguey ?—
Yes, I am tougucy; that’s part of a woman’s
prerogative, and I- am going to use some of
it on you. Let you alone? Did you say
that to the girl you danced with? on, no;
nothing of the sort; it was ‘Miss, shall I have
the pleasure of your beautiful person for the
next cotillion ?’ I wish I could see her, I’d
take the beautiful out of her with a jerk.—
Can get nopeace? Yes, can get plenty of
it—go to the theater; go elcctionccrlng .
o
' dance with the Dutch girls till morning, an
come home in the morning, and I’ll give you
peace by the long measure. I’ll give you a
piece of my mind. Come back here, where
are you going? Get into another bed. Not
exactly; this bed has been large enough here
tofore, and has not grown any smallerlatc-
ly. You danced did you? I’d like to see
you dance with me. I’m too old, I suppose.
I_ain’t too old to give you fits.“ Here the
lager loving husband began to snore, ’when
Mrs. Candle subsided.

ftrified with. They slunked out of site to
onct.
There4, hevin no politics, I made bold to
visit Old Abe at his humstid in Springfield.
I found the 01d feller in his parlor, surround-
ed by a perfeck swarm of orifice seekers.—
Knowin‘he had been capting of a flat boat
on the roarin Mississippy I thought I’d ad-
dress him in sailor lingo, so sez 1 “Old Abe,
ahoy! Let out yer main-sale, reef hum the
forecastle & throw yer jib-poop overboard!
Shiver my timbers, my harty !” (N. B. This
is genuine mariner langwide. I know, be-
cawz I’ve seen sailor plays acted out by them
New York theater fellers.) Old Abe lookt
up quite cross & sez, Send in yer petition by
8: by. I can’t possibly look at it now. In-
deed, I can’t. It’s onpossible, sir 1”
“Mr. Linkin,what do you spect I air ” sed I.
“A orifice-seeker, to be sure!” sed be.
“Well, sir,” sed I, “you’s never more mis-
.-taken in your life. You haiu’t gut a orifiss
I’d take under no circumstances. I’m A
Ward. Wax figers is my perfesliun. I’m
the father of twins, and they look like me—
both of them. I cum to pay a frendly visit to
the President eleck of the United States. If
so be you wants to see me, say so—if not, say
so, & I’m orf like a jug handle.”
S Mr. Ward, sit down. I am glad to see you
ir.” .
“Repose in Abraham’s Buzzum !”'sed one
of the orifice seekers, his idee bein to git orfa
goak at my expence.
“Wall,” sez I, “of all you fflers repose in
that there Buzzum thaec’ll be mity poor nus-
sin for sum of you i” whereuponOld Abe but-
toned his weskit clear up and blusht like a
melding of sweet 16. Just at this pint of the
conversation another swarm of orifice seek-
‘ ers arroyo & cum pillin into the parlor. Sum
wanted post orifices, sum wanted collector—
4 ships, sum wanted furrin missions, and all
wanted sumthin. I thought Old Abe would
go crazy. He hadn’t more than had time to
shake hands with ’em, before another tre-
mcndjis crowd come porein onto his prem-
ises. His house and dooryard was now per-
fectly overfiewed with orifice seekers, all
clameruss for an immegit interview with Old
Abe. One man from Ohio, who had about
seven inches of corn whiskey into him, mis-
took mc for Old Abe and addresst me as
“The 'Pra-hayrie Flower of the West l”—
Thinks I you wants a ofiis putty bad. An-
other man with a goldheaded cane and a red
nose told Old Abe he was “a sesind wash-
ington &. the Pride of the Boundliss West!”
Sez 1, “Square, you wouldn’t take a small
post oflis if you could git it, would you i”
Sez he, “a patrit is abuv them things, sir!”
“There’s a patty big crop of patrits this sea-
son, aint there Squire?” sez I, when another
crowd of ofiis seekers pared in. The house,
doer-yard, barn & woodshed was now all full
and when another crowd cum I told ’em not
to go away for want of room as the hog-pen
was still empty. One patrit from a small
town in Michygan went pp on topthe house
got into the chimney and slid down into the
parlor where Old. Abe was endevering to
keep'the hungry pack of ofilse seekers from
chawin him up alive without benefit of clergy
The minit he reached the fire place he jumpt
up, brusht the soot out of his eyes, and yell-
ed : “Don’t make eny pintincnt at the Spunk-
vill postofilce till you’ve read my papers.—
All the respectful men in our town is signers
to that there dockyment !”
“Good God i” cride Old Abe, “they cum
upon me from the skize—down the chimneys
and from the bOWels of the yearth!” He
hadn’t more’n got them words out of his de-
likit month before two fat ofilss-seekers from
Wisconsin, in cndeverin to crawl atween his
legs for the purpose of applyin for the toll-
gateship at Milwawky, up set the President
eleck & he would hev gone spraivlin into
the fire-place if I hadn’t caught him in these
arms. But I hadn’t 'more'n stood him up
strate before another man cum crashin down
the chimney, his head strikin me vilmtly agin
the inards and prostratin my voluptoous from
onto the floor. “Mr. LINKIN," shoutid the
infatooated being, “my papers is signed by
every clergyman in our town, and likewise
be skoolmaster !’«’
Sez I,’ “you cgrejis ass,” gittin ep & brushin
-the dust from my eyes, “I’ll sign your papers
with this bunch of bones, if you don’t be a
little more keerful how you make my bread
baskit a depot in the futer. How do ‘you like
that air perfumery ?” sez'I, shaving my fist
under his nose. “Them’s the kind of papers
I’ll giv you! Them’s the yapers you want ?”
“But I workt hard for the ticket; I toiled
night and day! The patrit should be re-
warded l" .
“Virtoo,” sed I, holdin’ the infatooated man‘
by the coat-collar, “ virtoo, sir, is its own re-
ward. Look at me 1” He did look at me,
and qualed bet my gasc. “The fact is,” I
motioned, lookin’ round upon the hungry
crowd, “there is scarcely a ofiis for every ile
lamp carrid, round durin’ this campane. I
wish there was. I wick thare was furrin mis-
sions to be filled on varis lonely Islands
where eppydeinics rage incessantly, and ifI

sez l pullin’ out my new sixteen dollar hunt-
in cased watch, and brandishin’it before their
eyes, “Ef in five minits from this time a sin—

“How kin I ever repay you, Mr. Whrd, for

shakin me warmly by the hand. “How can

“By givin’ the whole country a good ad-

“How ’bout my Cabnit, Mister, Ward ?”
sed Abe. -
“Fill it up with Showmen, sir! Showmen

CONGRESS.
MONDAY, Dec. 9, 1860.
After prayer, the Journal was read.
On motion of Mr. Biglcr (Dem., Pa.), the
Standing Committee of 'last session were
ordered to be continued.
Mr. Latham (Dem., Cal.) moved that the
resolution relative to the Overland Mail be
referred to the Commtticc on Post-Office and
Roads.
Mr. Sumner (Rep, Mass.) offered a mem-
rial from Thaddeus Hyatt praying that relief
be provided for the sufferers in Kansas. Mr.
Sumner cited similar instances, and uggestcd
that the relief could be afi‘ordcd either by an
appropriation' of money or land. Referred
to the Committee on Territories.
The Homestead bill passed its first reading.
Mr. Powell’s (Dem., Ky.) resolution on
Federal Afi‘airs was called up. Mr. P. said
events were rapidly crowding upon us which
were they not speedily suppressed, would re-
sult in a dissolution of the Government. The
resolution proposes legislation to give power
for the correction of evil. Duty to the coun-
try required us to act promptly. The eleVr
cnth amendment to the Constitution was
made in 1794, and in 1803 the twelfth was
made. Our fathers acted in emergencies:
and so can we.
Mr. Collamer (Rep, Vt.) moved to strike
out part of the resolution, leaving in only so
much as referred to Federal affairs, and that
that be referred to a Special Committee.
Mr. King (Rep. N. Y.) inquired whether
additional legislation was necessary to main-
tain the Constitution.
Mr. Yulce (Dem., Fla.) inquired what was
intended by “amendments?”
Mr. Green (Dem., Mo.) said he would vote
for the resolution. An amendment to the
Constitution, or a legal enactment, .unlcss
popular sentiment goes with it, or the strong
arm of the Government goes with it is not
worth a straw. Our efforts must be to bring
about public sentiment, or alternatively we
must arm the Federal Government, with
physical power to enforce the Constitution
everywhere.
Mr. Lathaiu said California will remain
with the Union—the great North and West
—no matter what occurs. The Pacific Rail-
road was tlic great dcsideratum of her people.
Mr. Powell accepted Mr. Collanier’s pro-
proposition to strike out.
Mr. Foster (Rep, Conn.,) said the manage-
ment of the Government is in the hands of
the Democratic party. \Ve were told the
Union is in danger of disruption, and will
fall to pieces. I feel it my duty to support
the proposition, as it looks toward alloying
the excitement, and will bring back harmony
and fraternal feeling. He was far above
party consideration. I will cordially give
my support to the rcsoluion. The Commit-
tee will decidc promptly for the harmony
and peace of the country. [Applause]
Mr. Douglas (Dem., Ill.) said: I am ready
to act with any body who will look to the
settlement of this questiongor who will prc-
serve the Constitutidn. [Applause] ~ I trust
we may lay aside all petty grievances, feuds,
and jealousies, and look to our country, not
our party, on the occasion. [Applause] I
desire to hear no words of party while meet-
ing and discussing the question upon which
the fate of the country depends. [Ap-
plause.]
Mr. Davis of Miss, said the proposition was
not very hopeful of good result. Our fathers
made a Union of friendly states; now, hos-
tility has been substituted for fraternity. I
don’t intend to renew the war of crimination
but call on all men in the Union that they
look the danger in the face. What is the
remedy? Is it to coerce the people? If so,
the Union will be shattered into thirty—three
fragments. The remedy lies only in the
hearts of the people, and therefore I ask, is
not the majority section now the section
which threatens disruption to. the Union?
Our people are prepared to dojustice. 3 Don’t
talk to me about repealing your personal lib-
erty bills ; would that give us the Union
our fathers left us? The remedy is in
the patriotism and affection of the peo-
ple. This Union is dear to me as a Union of
fraternal states. 'It would lose its value if it
had to beheld together by armed, by physical
force. Hostility, not fraternity, exists in the
hearts of the people. If you can submit evi-
dence that this is not so, I feel that bitterness
will cease. .
Mr. Foster said he had the misfortune to
be not understood. I said our .Fedcral Gov-
ernment was in the hands of the Democratic
party. Is it not true? I did not make the
assertion in an offensive manner. I did not
was responsible for the present evils. I will
do anything for the restoration of harmony
and peace to the country.
Mr. Greene of Mo. said it was said to be im-
possible to make proper application in the
'present case, because the public sentiment
North is wrong. I say we must devise
means to hold our right until a reasonable
opportunity is given for a reaction in the
public opinion. I deny the right of nullifica-
tion. If a state is in the Union her people
are subject to the Union and its laws; if out
of the Union, the federal authority has no
right to enforce them. '
Mr. Latham then said: I rise to correct a
false impression upon the public mind. , I
have seen published in several of the leading
journals of the country statements as to the
attitude of Caifornia in the present crisis. It
has been said and is believed by many, that
in the event of the secession of several States
of the Union, California would avail herself
of the opportunity to declare her own inde-
pendence, and in conjunction with other ter-
ritory on the Pacific, form a Republic Mr.
President, there is not a word of truth in this
idea, and it does great injustice to the people
of that State. This Union has no more loyal
subjects than the people of California, and
out of her half-million population I believe
there are not many for Disunion in any
shape. California will remain in the Union
as it is and as it may be; and if, as it seems
now to be concluded, the cotton States with-
draw from the Union, and are eventually fol-
lowed by all the Southern States, California
I am certain, will still remain with the Great
chst and the North, with whom she is iden-
tified. There is but one thing which will or
can alienate the affections of the people of
the Pacific from the Union as it is or as it
may be, and that is a failure to give them a
Pacific railroad, and until it is completed,
overland mail facilities. Upon this question
they are clamorous, urgent, unanimous, and
' since the North and great West are thorough-
ly committed to the material idea, thcirlegal-
ity cannot be questiored.
Mr. Crittcuden of Ky}, spoke ten miotutes
in an inaudible voice.
Mr. Sumner of Mass. said he held the copy
of a letter which looked like it had been‘writ-
ten in the present distracted state of affairs.
It is a private letter from Gen. Jackson, the
1st of May, 1833, to Rev. C. Crawford; and
an extract reads: “I have had a laboribus
task here, but nullification is dead, and its ac-
tors and courticrs will only he remembered
by the people to be cxccratcd for their wick-.
cd designs.” The extract adds that the tariff
was only the pretext and disunion and a
southern confederacy the real object. The
next pretext will be the negro slavery ques-
tion. ‘
Mr. Benjamin of La. asked whether the in-
tent of this amendment was to indicate merc-
ly an opinion on the part of the gentleman
ofi'ering it, or whether it was the intention to
employ force against a state.
Mr. King, of N. Y. The sentiment of my
State is that the Union is to be preserved. I
believe Secession is another name for insur-
rection and rebellion. I believe this Govern-
ment cannot ‘pcaceably be dissolved, because
I believe a good body of the people are at-
tached to it and will preserve it. This resis-
tance to the laws will meet the penalty which
the law will inact.
. Mr. Benjamin asked whether it was his in-
tent to reduce a State to submission.
Mr. Dixon (RemSonn) said: I certainly
did not understand my colleague to refer to
the fact that the Democratic party now are
and long have been in power in this govern-
ment, in any partizan or offensive sense, but
'only as a fact of history. But whatever our.
difference of opinion are as to the causes of
the present troubles, the great trouble is ap-
parent. We cannot, eithcr as partizans or
patriots, shut our eyes to the great truth,
that nothing less than the disruption of the
government is the peril to which we are now
exposed. It is useless to inquire which sec-
tion of the country would suffer most or suf-
fer longest. It is enough for us to know
that every portion will suffer long and suffer
deeply. It is enough for us to know that a
dissolution of this Union, for whatever cause
and however brought about, would not be
only a great event, but its effects on the race
of mankind the great calamity of the age.—
Mr. President, the public mind is aroused to
apcrccptiou of the fact of existing danger to'
the Government at the precise moment when
we have just'passcd through a Presidential
election. Hence, it may be supposed the
result of this election is a cause, whereas, it
is only an occasion. The cause lies deeper.
In a very short time, a crisis differing only
from the present in the occasioning of its
happening ‘would have occurred if either of
the candidates for the Presidency at the re-
cent election had been chosen. The contro-
versy on the subj wt of African Slavery
which has been going on several years, be-
tween the Northern and Southern portions
of this country, has now reached a point
where its honorable and rightful adjustment
is to be consented to by the people of both
sections. It seems to be indispensable to the
continuancepf the government in its present
form. The election of Mr. Lincoln has has-
tened the critical day; his defeat could only
have postponed it, In saying tliisI don’t in-
tend to say whether one section of the coun-_
try is at fault more than the other; whether
both are equally at fault, or whether the
blame is wholly on one side. Criminations
and recriminations are now useless, nay dau-
gerousl If it be possible, the first thing
should be to restore the fraternal spirit
which once existed, ought to exist, and may“
still exist. How shall this be done? I
know no other mode than by cheerfully and
honestly assuring to every section of the
"country North and South, its just constitu-
tional rights. No section ought to 0ffer1ess._
And what are these Constitutional rights ?—
That is a subject to be considered in a spirit
l ofconfidence, mutual good will, and further-
1
cover it with the meaning that that party ‘
more,in a. spirit ofdevotion to the Union,
for the preservation of whicln'ny constituents
this spirit I shall meet this great question,
and in doing so I believe Ishall be sustained
by an immense majority of my constituents.
If time shall show that I rim-wrong in this
them iirthis Senate. Sir, if this spiritfeOuld:
prevail in our councils, how difi'erentinstant-
ly would be the condition of our oeuntry ?—
Whether it shall prevail or not depends en-
tirely on that Great Power that underlies all
laws and Constitutions. The thinking, in-
telligent public mind of the-nation, the peo-
ple under God must save this Union if it is
to be saved; Politicians cannot do it: The
people are new learning what they never
brought themselves to believe before, and
they alone must apply the remedy. What I
may be willing to do, or even what the Sea-
ate may be willing to do, will avail nothing
unless sustained by the intelligence and con-
science of the people. If the evils of dis-
union and civil war can be averted by the
perpetuation ofthe government in its present
form, these confederated States will continue
to be bound together in eternal union by the
golden chain of mutual advantage. BiIt the
danger is that anger and precipitation 0n the
one side, and blind incrcdulity on the Other,
will involve in rain the happiest people and
best government on the globe. Should this
be so, history would record the fact that the
people of the United States were incapable
of self-government. There is one word
more. There is a class of men at the North,
andperhaps at the South, small in numbers
and influence, who assume that the present
controversy is a conflict, as they say, of two
civilizations; that it cannot be reconciled;
that freedom or Slavery must now perish,—
Thc great body of those whOm I represent
do not thus believe. We believe there is no
conflict of the systems of labor in the'difi'er-
cnt states, which, is incompetible with the
peaceful existence of our Union. We still
believe the slaveholding and non-slavé-liold-
ing States may still rcvolve‘fin harmonious
spheres, and that if the question of Slavery is
to destroy the Union, it will be because the
statesmen of the day wlll be incompetent to
their task. '
vote for the resolution. Things have reach-
ed a crisis, and there is only one way to ter-
minate it, and that is for the N Orth to reverse
its whole course of pulley. The” Sohthern
States, having despaired of a' chan " 'I‘ have
proceeded in the only mode left theln‘to vin-
any hope of reconciliation. I see no evidence
to base a hope upon. I see a dark cloiid and
no ray. To me the darkness is midnight
gloom. It has been said by Nortliemers,
“Wé mean to crown our arms not 'uiiitl we
have emancipated the last slave.” There is
the word, disguise it as you will. ’
Mr. Pugh (Dem., Ohio) said that after sev-
enty years of experience and prosperity un-
der this form of government it is strange that
a Senator should rise and say that thirty mil-
lions of free people, under all advantages that
men have for selfgoverment, are [unable to
compromise their differences in an‘hoi'iorable
manner. ”
Mr. Brown—I never said this can’t be
averted. If the question of settling the difll-
culty were left to the Senator from Ohio and,
myself, he for the Republicans 31351 I fer the
Democrats, we would settle the question be-.
fore the sun goes down. Adjoumcd.
Emma—Mr. Hawkins of Fla. congluded
his statement of reasons for requesting, to be
excused from serving upon the Committee-
of thirty-three, by giving fair warning that
Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and
South Carbiinc would surely secede, to be
be followed by Arkansas, Louisiana and'l’ex-
as.
Ms. Vallandigham of Ohio favored: emu:
sing Mr. Hawkins. The Committee was
raised for peace, audit is inconsistent with'
the spirit of the resolution to coerce mom'-
bers to serve upon it. He said there was no
democrat from the Northwest on the, Com-
mittc. The Northwest does not intend to
be dependent upon either the South .or the
East. V '
Mr. McClernand of III. did not believe the
Union would be dissolved, as it was stronger
than is generally believed. He was amazed
that no democrat from the West had been
put upon the committee, but he was opposed
to cxcusing Mr. Hawkins.
Mr. Sherman of Ohio reported from the
committe on ways and means a bill authori-
zing the issue of $10,000,000 treasury notes_
for the immediate relief of the department.
They are to be of a denomination not less
than $100, issuable from time to time for -
two years, and redeemable from the proceeds
of the remaining $11,000,000 loan authorized
at the last. session, when sold. Mr. Sherman
explained to the House that this bill is only
designed as a temporary measure, and is
predicated upon the expectation that the
Senate 'Will pass Mr. Morrill’s tariff bill with-
out dclay, as the best means of providing a
revenue and restoring confidence. .
The bill, after debate, was passed; and
the House adjourned without taking the
question on Mr. Hawkin’s request to be ex-
cused. 3
