RULES AND ORDERS.
On motion Of Mr. w. c. JOHNSON, the House
took up the proposition submitted by hun yesterday
m relation TO the rules and orders Of the House
land which IS IN The following worGs:l
"RsEolVed, That the rules and orders of the Goth
Congress, they were at the cosc OF the SAID Con
gres be the rules and orders OF this Congress until
Others adopted
The SPEAKER said he had understood the |
gentleman fIom North Carolina mir Sianiy) as |
Withdrawing motion for tie previous question. |
MIR JOHNSON renewed II, remarkins that, It |
the House disposed TO organize Il had It in It's |
power to do so in Is minutes or half an hour from |
this TIME. IL could have rules by which 20 govern
IT, proceedings until the requisite mOdhcauons
the consideration Of the whole subject should he
taken up soon as possible.
Mr. FILLMORE suggested 10 Mr. J. so 10 modify
his resolution as 10 limit the time during which the
rules OF the asst Congress should be adopted ami TO
provide for taking W tor consideration the report Of
the Select CammiItee on the Rules. If the rules OF
the 26,h Congress were adopted without mod,fca.
oa for an indefinite time, the notifications required
never would be made.
Mr. JOHNSON replied to this suggestion that, II
his resolution was adopted, he would then vote TO
AXE up IHSaR'sT the consideration Of the report of
he Select Committee on the Rues. But he was
not willing to specify any particular time which
he operation OF the rules OF the 26,h Congress
should Ue limited, because j. would lead 10 discus
non and create delay. Il would be better 10 have
complete set OF rules a. once, and then proceed 10
modify them.
But after a remark from MIR FILLMORE. MIR
Johnson modified his proposition to read follows
RsSo!ped, That the rules and orders OF The 26Ih
Congress- they were at the close OF the said Cos
;ress be the rules and orders OF this Congress until
others are adopted; uni the report made by the

,ia order OF the day for Thursday next, and each
succeeding Gay until disposed Of.
Some conversation took place between Messrs.
SrANLT, PROFFlT, and the
SPEAKER IN relation 10 the decision Of the Speak
r. yesterday as ~ the peculiar application Of the
previous question under the Parliamentary law, and
there appeared to be much misconcepuon on the
subject. The conversation, however, was very N.
distinctly heard by the Reporter
MIR J. CAMPBELL (prciacing the motion with
a remark not heard by the RepOusr) moved that the
House do now adjourn.
Mr. STANLY asked the yeas and nays, which
were ordered.
MIR CAMPBELL Withdrew the motion.
And the question recurring on the motion Of Mr. |
w Johnson for the previous question
The main question (Oelng the adoption of the |
resoution) by Ayes l0I, Noes not counted, was
ordered.
MIR FILLMORE asked the yeas nav, on the
main question, which we're ordered.
Mr. SLADE submitted to the Speaker that the
question on secondng the demand for the previous

Parliamentary law.
