might be made, he had left that ques-
lion Tor separate consideration, in or
der to obtain decision on the princi-
Pile OF the resolution. Having intro
duccd the resolution from sense of
duty, should it not meet with the ap-
probation OF the house, he should be
entirely satisfied with having, in pro-
posing it. performed what he believed
TO be his duty.
On motion Of Mr.. EuStis. the blanks
IN the resolution were filed with the
lst day of October next.
Mr.. Root moved to postpone the re-
solution, ID order to take up that from
The Senate. under the impression that
doing 50 would facilitate final deci-
sion OH the subject.
Mr.. Lo17ndes suggested that in all
probability, nothing would be gained
by this course, Us the same question
new before the house might. and pro-
badly would be brought up by q motion
to amend the resolve of the Senate.
Ahe motion to postpone was mega
tived.
NO debate arising
Ihe Chairman put the question to
agree to the resolution, and it was ne
satlved by large majority.
Inc committee then rose and report
ed their decision to the house.
The Speaker put the question on
agreeing to the amendments made in
committee, 10y filing the blanks in the
rsso.ution.)
1t being objected, that the report of
the committee had been to reject the
resolution
The Speaker decided that no CON-
vnittee, whether select or of the whole
house. has the power of rejecting any
bill or resolution referred to it. Bills
and resolutions are referred to COM
inlitees to be discussed and amended
OF not, and not to be agreed to or re-
iected IN form, though sometimes vir-
tually rejected by striking out their vi
tai parts.s
This decision was objected TO by MIR.
Randolph, MIR. Barbour and MIR. Cobb,
but justified by Mr.. Sergeant and in
part at least by Mr.. Lopndes. In the
end, however, no appeal was taken
from the decision of the chair.
