A, an early hour, after the consideration Of
some private bills, the Senate went into Execu
tive session.
In the IIousE, some time ago, with view OF
saving time, an order made that all petitions

out the formaiiy Of a presentation, with pros
vision however, that they should be subject 10
the supervision of the Speaker, previous TO re-
ference so that no abolition petitions should be
introduced.
Yesterday, under the above regulation, Mr..
Goode Of Ohio sent TO the desk series of reso-
lutions adopted al public meeting IN that State,
condemnatory of the action of the House IN IT'S
recent censure Of Mr.. Glddings. These resolu-
lu,ions were Of course entered on the journal.
THIS morning, Mr.. Bolts moved to amend the
journal by striking out the resolutions, on the
ground that they were inflamma tory, and contaI-
ned a cens"re on the House. After desuIiory
debate of an hour, on points OF order, motion
vas made to lay the motion Of Mr.. Bolts on the
table. This failed by vote OF II TO 80.
The question then REQUIRED on the motion OF
Mr.. Bolts strike out the resolutions from the
Journal which would be tantamount to refusal
TO receive the proceedings OF the meeting Nir.
Bolts contended that If the resolutions should be
received, then resolutions of any character nigh,
also be received by thus lying them on the table,
under the supposed meaning of the recent order.
Mr. B. minated that The dignity OF the House
had already suffered by certain person. "ho IN
the paper of which he was editor, characterized
the Speaker an ''over5eer," and certain mem
bers ''slGvcs."
Mr. Goode replied He asserted that the reso
buttons were laid on the clerks table by him, III

He did not lay them on the table with n design
! to escape observation, but IN strict compliance
with, the rule. The resolutions had been LAID on
, the table fairly, and he would repel any charge
tina, wen. TO say that the resolutions were intro
duced surrep,iciousy. The people of Ohio did
not intend thus TO act.
NJ. Arnold spoke Of the matter as despIcabIe
aiftlr, and alluded 10 the facts attendant on the
resignation Of Mr. Gddings. He said Mr.. CID
diugs had expressed his opinion by Offering cera II
resolutions, md the House had expressed its opn
ion bv a resolution of censure. Mr.. A. then sale
some thing about Mr.. Giddings being considered as
a martyr.

! the prev ;ous question. The motion of Mr.. Bot:
was then agreed to--yeas 9S. nays 70. So the
resolutions struck from the journal.
