chiselled upon the bruised hearts of hun
dreds of thousands of the unfortunate in
this country, and our fame will be more
deeply engraved and perpetuatcd, beyond
all compare, than that of the Athenian ar
tist."
Mr.. Marshall rose and briefly replied
to Mr.. Granger, urging the necessity for
immediate action, if action was to be taken
at all, on account of the term of the law.
As for the petitions not having been read
every one knew their purport.
As for what hireling press might say,
it mattered not Have not i, who have
not cent in my pocket, been accused of
being bribed with 100000 for giving my
vote in this casel Mr.. Marshall finished
by moving the previous question.
| Mr.. Roosevelt here rose to point of
order, and said that he wished to present
certain petitions and memorials.
Cries of order, order--question--q
tion,-and perfect chaos in the House.
The Speaker called to order, and told
the gentleman from New York to take his
seat.
Appeals were taken, and withdrawn, and
sharp encounter of words passed be-
tween the Speaker and Mr.. Adams
Mr.. Roosevelt said that in the point of
order as read by the clerk, he was entirely
misrepresented; he held petitions for and
against the repeal of law, which he could
not present if this vote was now taken,
and thus the constitutional right of citizens
in this country to be heard here, was taken
: away.
All appeals were then withdrawn and
: the question upon ordering the main ques-
ton was taken by yeas and nays, and stood,
yeas l2l, nays 80.
Mr.. Sellers, of Maryland, here rose and
, tried to make some explanation relative
to his action in the case, but had not pro-
ceeded far before he was called to order.
The main question-shall this Bill be re-
ected' was then taken by yeas and nays
and there were, yeas 81, noes l24.
The second reading of the Bill was gone
, through with, and
Mr.. Lewis Williams rose and submitted
resolution that the Bill should be recon-
mitted to the Committee on the Judiciary,
l., with instructions to report such amend
ments as they may deem expedient. A
modification was incorporated to suspend
, the operations of the Bill until the 1st of
April next.
Mr.. Williams (after the Resolution had
been ready said that he had some desire
that the House should not present such an
: aspec: to day as it had for the few days
past Congress passed the law at the extra
session of Congress, and now, without its
doing the least evil, it was proposed to re-
peal. Upon the consideration of this ques-
ton no time had been given, important as
it was. He was, therefore, for suspending
the act, and inquiring whether any further
amendments were necessary.
A dozen members rose upon the floor
when Mr.. Williams closed, all anxious to
spring the Previous Question.
Mr.. Weller, of Ohio, obtained the floor,
and made the motion for the Previous
Question. The effect of the Previous Dues
ton was to cut off all the instructions pro-
; posed, and bring the House to a vote upon
the engrossment of the Bill.
The next ten minutes were taken up in
the consideration of points of order, the
-, prominent one of which was raised by
: Mr.. Gushing and overruled by the Speaker.
| The point of order was that the subject
properly passed from the House at this
=, time and that petitions should be received.
d This over the yeas and nays were de-
manded upon the main question, and the
a vote was carried in the affirmative-ayes
n Ill, noes SO.
2 A further discussion ensued on points
: of order. After which, the main question
: being on the engrossment of the bill, was
taken and carried-yeas 1874, nays 90.
I Mr.. Calhoun moved that the third read
S ing of the bill be on tomorrow; and
: Mr.. Roosevelt moved that it be on Wed.
y nesday next; both of which motions were
n rejected.
e Mr.. Wise moved that it be read the third
e time now, which was carried, and the bill
: was read the third time.
The question then being on its passage
/ Mr.. William B. Campbell moved the
r previous question, which was seconded.
: The previous question having been car
n RED
n Mr.. John c. Clark asked to be excused
C from voting, and gave his reasons for SC
v doing. He was accordingly excused.
The main question was then taken or
IS the passage of the bill, and it was decided
n in the Acknowledgements 1875, nays "a.
Mr.. William B. Campbell moved to re-
p consider the vote Just taken, and called
e for the previous question; which, having
II been seconded and carried, the main ques
ton on the reconsideration was put, anc
d rejected without a division.
