In the House Of Reresc,stdt after some dis
cusson as to points Of ORDER the question of insert
ing Mr. Barnafds protest came up. The question
ruled by the Speaker to be in order, was the mo-
tion of Mr.. Gilmer to amend Mr. Barnard's resolu-
tion to amend the journal Of the first day, by stri
king from it that part directing the Protest to be
inserted on the journal.
This was carried by yeas and nays-124 to Ga
long debate then artee upon Mr.. BIS resolution
amended, in the course of which it was distinct
" moved to expunge the Protest, which is now on
the JOURNAL in the record Of the second days pro-
ceedings d
Mr.. Holmes, of S. c., warned the majority a.
gainst so indecent step.
Mr.. Weller proposed the previous question, but
did not persist, and Mr.. c. J. Ingersoll to lay on
the table. Lost-S3 to 95.
The debate was renewed, and finally the amend
ed resolution Of Mr. B. was adopted
But as the Protest was on the Journal, motion
was made, and under the operation Of the previous
question carried by striking the Protest from the
Journal. Ayes 92-Nays 50. ~
The rules of last Congress not yet having been
adopted, the next point in order was to consider
them-when in order to cover up the iniquity of
the vote compelling the Clerk, If he obeys, to fall
sify his oath to keep true record Of the proceed
ings by striking therefrom what has been truly
written.
Mr.. Dromgoole Of Virginia. offered new rule
