 The Speakeg(pronOunced that mohOn,also, out Of order until the pending question relats ing to the printing should have first been de- Cided. tE& .s MT. Cslpeper inquired of the Chair wheth- CT it would be in order to move tO lay the mo- tiOn of Mir. McKean, together with the a. meUdmrHt thereto, on the table and heinz answered in the affirmative, he made the mo- tan accordingly, and the motion being put, tt was passed in the affirmative.
 SO the motion tO print an extra number Ot copies was laid upon the table.
 Subsequently, however, an motion Ot Mir. Culpeper, this vote, a(ter some conversation between Messrs. Thompson. Sergeant, Me- Lean, and Fort was recOnsidcred.
 Mr. Fort now explained the reason why he wished the vote rG-cOnsidered, and again in- sisted upon the view he had formerly p.eseT- ted, that the committee would understand the report as having received the sanction of the House. and as expressive of it's opinion. Mr. Bartictt felt nO such apprehensiOns.- The people ofthe United States had enough intelligence to receive the paper for what it really was. They would be at no loss to un- derstand that t was hut tue report of com mi'tee, and that the printing of it did not com nit the House in any shape. Tine doctrine it contained would have no injurious effect. II it was erroneous, there would be enough to answer it hut he hoped that nothing further would be done at present. The report had just come into the House. They had heard 1t once read at the clerks table. No 0ppor- tnnity had been enjoyed to form any deliber- ate opinion of its merits, and the House were not prepared to act lntelligently on the sub jcct. The question would come up again, and then every gentleman would have m op. portunity of declaring his sentiments, and meeting and combating the arguments Ofthe committee, if they considered them errone- Ous. . srs
 ! Mr. Stcrigere, to put an end to further dis cAssiOn, moved lo lay the motion to recon slider on the table, Nhich passed by a large majority.
 So tiin whole subject now lies upon the ta- ble, and may be taken up at the pleasure of the House.

It was not at all evil dent that he was struck for two or three sec onds, when in taking the reserve pistol in his letf hand and endeayoring to l.resent it, he suddenly reeled pace Q two. dropped upon his back. and expired without a groan. .
