The CHAIR decided the amendment out of order.
Mr.. UNDERWOOD moved that the Committee rise;
but the motion did not prevail.
MIR. e. JOHNSON appealed from the decision of the
Chair
The CHAIR said that similar proposton-to re-
dnce contingent salares-was, at the last session OF
Congress, ruled out Of order.
MIR. UNDERWOOD inquired if the appeal was de-
batable:
The CHAIR said he would not refuse to hear any
suggestions the subject.
Mr.. UNDERWOOD then asked the Chair TO point
to any particular rule which prohibited such amend
ments.
The CHAIR remarked that his decision was based
upon the 50th rule, which is follows:
"No motion proposition subject different from
that under consideration shall be admitted under color
of amendment. No bill or resolution shall, at any
me be amended, by annexing thereto or incorporating
Herewith, any other bill resolution pending before
the committee
Several precedens then read in support of the
decision of the Chair.
MIR. CASEY asked Mr. Johnson TO withdraw his APP
peal
MIR. UNDERWOOD said he had some important
amendments to offer to the bill under consideration,
and that if the decision of the Chair should be sustain
ed, they would be cut off He believed however, that
there was nothing in the rules Of the House which
would prevent his amendments from being offered. MIR.
U. commended that he had uniformly the rules of
the House bent to the circumstances of the times, and
proceeded at some length to contrast the decision of
the Chair with the provisions on the statute book; butt
