In the House OF REPRESENTATIVES, o,day, the
subject of the entering upon the Journal the Pro-
les, of Mr. Barnard and others against the ad-
mission OF the members elected by general ticket,
came up as unfinished business again occupying
the attention of the House during the day, as
by the accumulation of points of ORDER II
threatens, accompanied with much perp'eSity
and coniusion to occupy 1t many more days
The nucleus of the matter was the resolution oil
Mr. Barnard yesterday to amend the journal OF
Monday by inserting thereon the protest (lhe
question upon which is still pending. The re-
solution together with the protest ltse!i-whici
was embodied in it-appeared on the journal tins
morning, the acceptance of which by the House
those cOuntenanclng the general ticket system
were Of course unwilling 10 allow without
first striking il therefrom. Accordingly MIR.
DRoMGooLE moved Qeaving the question OF the
Journal of the day previous, still unsettled to
amend the journal Of yesterday IN this manner
This motion-soon withdrawn by Mr. ID. to avoid
the inevitable confusion consequent thereon, but
renewed by Mr.. Chappell of Ga.-gave rise TO
snarled and protracted debate touching slightly
the merits or constitutonality Of the district sys-
TEN, but confined principally to precedents and
technicalties with reference to the correct mode
of making up the journal Of the House.
Among the speakers, Messrs CHAPPELL of Ga.
D., Of Nh, Pcr If la
HALE of NJ H., HUGHES of Mo-, STILES OF Ga,
WISE and others opposed the entering OF the pro-
test, viewing it as pre,judgement by a
portion of the House, of grave question
hereafter TO become a matter of Judi
proceeding converting the Journal into medi-
um of publication to the country, (and seemingly,
at least. with the sanction of the House, OF a
one sided judgement while the counter consider
atoms were not s!atad those, themselves elected
by General Ticket, protesting scrupulous
reverence and veneration for the Constitution and
laws, avowing their readiness for full examina-
ton of the subject, challenging the House there
to, vaunting that the district law had met with
signal reputation by the people, &c. &c.
Mr. BowLIN gave an implied threat of resort to
erpunging . in case their other attempts to clear
the Journal proved unsuccessful.
On the other hand, Messrs. BERNARD, Hunt of
N. Y, BEARDsLEy, HOLMES and others insisted
upon the record of the paper, as constituting a
part of their actual proceedlngs-some of them
lustifying its original presentation, &c.
Without arriving at any conclusion the sub
ject was postponed till tomorrow, and the House
proceeded to the election of Clerk rira roce.--
