IN SENATE.
The Senate to-day was principally occupied on the
subject Of The Banks in the District Of Columbla-an
account of which will be given in our next.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
As soon as the journal was read,
Air. Rariden rose to make the motion OF which ne had
given notice last night.
g The Chair said the consideration of the motion
would regularly lie over till the expiration OF the morn
ing hour.
Mr. Rarilen asked the House 20 consider it now.
Mr.. GIascock objected at first, but afterwards win
drew il. and Mr. Chambers of Kentucky renewed the
objection.
Mr.. Griffin moved a suspension Of The rules: lost, only
81 voting in the Affirmative.
The Chair announced the business in order TO be The
motion to prin, COCO extra copies of the report OF the
Militia Committee.
MIR. Russell asked leave to offer the following resolu.
ton: ~
he instructed TO inquire into the e. pediency OF repea!ing
90 much of the fifth section of The act entitled "An act
To regulate the deposies of the public money, passed

iOr inc wear lCOb, u - IublOlN b"S Oh'''S ~ -
BIZ any officer or department of the Government, notes
or bills of specie paying banks, Of a less denomination
than $50.
MIR. Lincoln said he must object TO the interposition
Of any other sublec, till tho above motion was disposed
of, which would occupy but a few moments.
Mr.. Russell moved a suspension of the rules, and asked
for the yeas and nays; which, being ordered, were, yeas
81, nays 1876.
So The House refused TO suspend the rules.
Mr.. Russell then gave notice that he should call up
this resolution TO- morrow, and upon each successive day
thereafter till it should receive The final action OF the
House.
The motion 10 print 10 900 extra copies Of the militia
repo!, was then taken up and agreed TO.
RECESSION OF THE SPECIE CIRCULAR.
Mr.. Boon renewed his motion 10 suspend the rules for
half an hour, 10 consider the resolution 10 resclnd The
Specie Circular.
Mr.. Calvary Morris asked for the yeas and nays; but
they were refused, and the motion 10 suspend was re
jected.
The motion Of Mr.. RarIden TO reconsider the vote and
the passage of this bill was then announced by the Chair.
Mr.. Rariden took that occasion 10 explain that he was
himself in favor OF voting all necessary supplies TO the
Government, but differed with the majority OF the
House as 10 the proper mode: and the object of his mo-
ton was to give himself and his friends an opportunity
Of setting themselves right before the country. he pre-
ferred a partial issue Of Treasury notes, and the remain
der to be raised by a direct loan. MIR. R. added that
time was Of far more importance at this period Of the
session than the mode OF raising means; and, so lar from
desiring 10 bring on a protracted debate, he would him
self, should such spring up, vote for the previous cues,
ton. He only wanted an opportunity for himself and
his friends TO place their names on the record, so that
they could not be misunderstood.
Mr.. Boon thought this measure had already been de.
bated long enough; and he, therefore, moved the previous
question.
MIR. Rives propounded an inquiry of The Chair, whe.
Their, if a motion to lay the motion to reconsider on the
table should prevail, the bill would cohere with it.
The Chair had given this question some attention, and
went on TO explain substantially, we believe, 10 the fol.
lowing effect: that as no motion now could be mace 10
lay The bill on he table, ergo no collateral motion could
have that effect.
Mr.. Rives was decidedly of that opinion, and therefore
asked the gentleman from Indiana TO Withdraw his de-
mand for the previous question.
Mr.. Boon declined.
Mr.. Williams of North Carolina moved a call Of the
House, which was ordered, and proceeded in I'LL the roll
had been called through once; when
Mr. Cushing moved 10 dispense with 1t.
Mr.. Petrikin demanded the yeas and nays, which be-
ing ordered,
Mr.. Gushing withdrew the motion.
The roll woe then called through a second time, and
2l5 members having answered 10 their Names,
MIR. Curtis moved that it be further dispensed with.
MIR, Cushman called for the yeas and nays, and as they
were ordered,
Mr.. Curtis withdrew the motion, but
MIR. Anterior renewed it, and
MIR. Owens demanded the yeas and nays; which were
ordered, and were-yeas III, nays 81.
So The further proceedings on The call were dispensed
with; and the question recurring on the demand for the
previous question
hr. Whilllesey of Ohio inquired if the previous cues.
lion was sustained, what the main question would be-?
The Chair re plied on the reconsideration.
Mr.. Briggs inquired what would then be the situation
Of the bill;
The Chair said the effect would be, if the House
should affirm the motion to reconsider, that the question
would then be on the passage Of the bill.
Mr.. Briggs. Then, Sir, should the motion 10 recon.
slider the engrossment prevail, would the bill be open to
amendments?
The Chair thought il would, if that motion was in or.
der. and a motion 10 recommit the bill prevail.
Mr.. Wise. Would that motion then be in order?
The Chair said he thought it would al another stage.
The House then seconded the demand for the pre-
vious question, the tellers reporting ll9 in the atirma-
tive, and on The question " Shall the main question be
now putt
Mr.. Cray asked for the yeas and nays; which being
ordered, were-yeas 14l, nays Ga.
So the House determined that the main question should
be now put, and theron
Mr.. Bronson asked for the yeas and nays which were
ordered, and were, yeas 10, nays 100; as follows:
