der, and commended that the bill was
laid on the table by the adjournment,
and could not be reached until the usu
al morning business was through with,
| Mr.. M'Nulry thought the course Of
the Chair IN reference 10 the bill very
strange. 1t was his impervious duty
Immediately efler the third reading Of
a bill, 10 put the question and decide
when il should be read. He thought
the House should go through with its
morning business, before the question
could be reached.
Mr.. Meredith thought the bill should
be read now, and hoped the House would
proceed with lis business in the usual
way.
The Speaker announced that bills for
their third reading we're in order
Mr.. M'NuIty Immediately inquired Of
the Clerk, il this bill had been ordered
10 a third reading this morning. The
Chair replied in the negative.
Mr.. Gallagher objected to the prac-
iice which prevailed Of propounding
questions 10 the Clerk. II could not but
be unpleasant TO that officer, 10 be called
on 10 decide disputes between parties on
the floor. He thought all i%nterrogato-
ries should be addressed to the Speak
err, and that the Clerk should proceed
with the business as directed by the
Speaker, without any regard TO the sug
geslions OF members.
The Speaker expressed his desire to
comply with the wishes of the House,
and would cheerIulIy submit 10 any de.
Cision which might be made on the ques
ton Of an appeal.
Mr.. M'NuIty appealed from the decis.
ion Of the Chair that it was in order
TO read The bill a third time now. He
wished 10 see how many members would
sustain such adeclsion, and whether the
gentleman from Clark would bring his
courage up 10 tho sticking point and
sanction a violation Of The rules Of the
House. If the decision should be sus
tanned, there was no use in fixing a time
for the third reading Of bills, it was
sUper1uous; and he believed that every
member knew that the decision was out
Of order
Mr., Byington addressed The House ut
length IN favor of the appeal, during
which no was called 10 order for %irrele-
vancy.
Mr.. Chambers thought that on this
question he should be compelled 10 vote
with his friends, Messrs. Byington and
/ M'NuIty, though on nearly all other
questions he widely differed with them
lie considered that tho chair was in err
ror, and read the rule requiring The
House to fix a time for the third read
ing Of bills immediately after they were
ordered to be eUgrosseJ, aud the ru G
declaring that all pending questions shall
be laid on he table by an adjournment.
The decision Of the chair was dlsa-
greed to, by ayes g., noes So.
Mr.. Bowen moved that the standing
rule be dispensed with, and that the bill
be taken up now, which was agreed 10
yeas 50, nays Ia,
The Char asked when the bill should
be read-cries OF "now," "now.'' Mr.
Byinglon named the "drst day OF Janua

Mr. Gallagher moved the previous
