HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

he first hour Of this mornings sitting was
e ocapied with call of he House. which, or
n tn, occasion. was carrird "a step further than il
e h,sheretofore been during the present session.
lae roll was called; the absentees were then
E aped, and their excuses heard; and, lastly, the
= oors OF the House were CLOSED. A desultory
] lfbate was oCcasioned by repeated motions TO
5 Suspend further proceedings in the call. At
length such q motion succef ded, The doors
=, were thrown open, and the House proceeded 10
4 business.
! Mr.. Everett moved the following:
| hcsolUed That henoeforward, and until other
| wise ordered by the House, the hour 10 which
the House shall daily stand adjourned, shall be
10 o'clock at noon.
Mr.. Everett remarked, in off''ring the reso-
luton, that he was actuated by no motive, but
the wish TO despatch the public business, which
experience had shown, was retarded, not pros
NOTED, by an attempt to meet al an unseasona-
bic hour. There had been five days Of MEETING
since the order was taken to meet al ! | o'clock.
Out OF those FIVE days, we have adjourned hree
days dt o'clock. one hour earlier than we have
been in the habit Of adjourning. Once we had
adjourned al half past three; and once only land
that under peculiar circumstances, have wr had
a protracted session. 1t is plain, therefore,
that, even could we obtain punc,ualIy, quo
rum at we should effect nothing but chang
from convenient, 10 less convenient division
of the day. Bat how is the fact, with respect
to the hour Of meeting? So far from commen>
cling the business of the House at that hour,
gentlemen all know that we have, four out Of
the FIVE days, been Obliged 10 resort 10 call Of
the Huuse-with " hat success. the House has
seen. For these reasons, and others urged BY
gentlemen while the doors Of the House were
closed, hope This resolution will prevail.
Some debate took place on this motion
when.
Mr.. Moore asked the yeas and nays on the
motion of Mr. Everett, but the House refused
10 order them; Ayes, 80. Noes, 100.
Mr.. Bartlett then, with view to make a
farther experiment, as 10 the attendance of
members at | o'clo k. moved TO post pone the
further consideration Of the resolution ill Mon
day next.
The motion was ne satived; and the question
eing then pu: from the Chair, the motion OF
Mr.. Everett was carried by large majority.

Tariff bill; and
