f Mr.. KERR moved that the resolution offered by
him yesterday to change the daily hour of meeting of
the Senate to eleven O'Clock, be taken up

the Senate was not full and they had but few days
since had direct vote Of the Senate it when il
was full. a .
Mr.. KERR concurred in that desire from the same
reason. q a.l@M y.
Mr.. BENTON said that was the very reason why
it should be taken up and passed. Those that sup.
ported the resolution the to be absent in the
morning while he and Others who voted against il,
came at the time of meeting, and frequently found but
six Senators here.
Mr.. SEWER fad he voted for the resolution to
~ ten o'clock, and should still maintain it. He
had Leen here at that time since the resolution had
been force and frequently found but very few othe
Senators here il motion were made to adjourn in
stanfer he would vote for when there were so many
deiDquens who usually crept along half three quar-
tiers of an hour after the time.
After Conversation, by various Senators, whether
the resolution had already been taken up and with
reference to the motion Of Mr. Clay il was carried,
and the resolution laid on the table.
The resolution of Mr.. BucHANAN, relative to re-
movals of public officers, was taken up, and
Mr., LINN continued his remarks in support of tho
resolution and in denmciation Of the course Of the
present Administration in this respect They had
been elected on promises Of prosperity and better
times they had thus created high expectations among
the people, which, being disappointed, droves had

RANDOLPH, G. BROWN, HOLMES, WISE.
INGERSOLL, MCKAY, J. w, JONES, FILL,
MORE HALsTEAD, and GAMBLE, debated the

Mr.. CLIFFORD moved an amendment appropria-
ting $500 for Notifications at Fort Preble ON Port

his amendment briefly
Mr. FlLLMoREandM Mckay opposed the amend
ment.

The operation of the rule of the House limiting
speakers to one hour works admirably The speeches
are condensed and effective-the Hall is more
fully attended-the House kept the qu viue and
business goes with unusual facility. 1t is, indeed,
great discovery. The people will approve it, and
both parties will, in the end, find it happy rule 1t
saves time, space, labor passion, money. The news
papers will be thankful for short speechesthey will
be more generally published and read and the readers
will think much better of their authors. "Brevity is
the soul of wit" A man of education and good
sense will speak with precision and breviy 1t is the
empty headed and the weak minded who verbose.
Condensation is evidence of alent-the opposite is
sign of shaowness; Mr.. J. G.. Clark, of N. Y, is
entitled to the credit Of proposing rule like the one
have alluded to- at the beginning of the Goth Con-
gress, and MIR. Warren, of Georgia, and Mr. Holmes,
of s. c., will enjoy the merit of having successfully
revived it. ".f '>..-..
