TUESDAY NIGHT, July, 6, 1S41.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE
After tedious and roasting hot session of
thirteen hours, the bill to distribute the proceeds
of the public lands, passed this House by vote
of one hunderd and sixteen, against one hum
dred and eight.-It was forced through in such
hurry, and amidst so much confusion and
uproar, that one-half of those who voted upon
it did not know precisely what they were vo
ting on. But, as said, the bill passed.
This, perhaps, may be as much as your rea-
ders will care to know. But that they may
have some knowledge of the process by which
this result has been brought about, will state
that the chairman of the select committee on
the rules, Mr.. CALHOUN, introduced a report
this morning providing for the discharge of the
committee of the whole from the consideration
of any bill which might be referred to that
committee, after acting, without debate, upon
all amendments that might be offered.
This proportion led to many intricate ques-
tions of order, and to variouse motions, all
tending to evade direct action on the Report
of the committee, and with which it is useless
for me to trouble you. The conclusion of the
whole matter was, that the Report was adopt
ed. Mr. Stanly followed up the vote (Which
stood yeas III, nays 95) with resolution,
that the debate should be closed at 7 o'clock
this evening, and that the committee should
then proceed to vote on any amendments
which might be offered which it is impossible
to touch intelligibly without publishing the bill
IN form. There were none however, affecting
