the journal so as 10 insert thereon the proceedings
in reference to the vote on inserting salt among
the free articles in which the Speaker voted with
pounced that the Clerk had committed an error
in adding up the vote, and that he had therefore
voted wronguy and The amendment was car
ried.
The Speaker decided that the motion was out
of order, the proceedings being nldlitv in conse-
ouence OF The error which had been committed.
As an individual member Of the House. ne

! question, from The extreme OF 81 deg. 40 min,
down 10 even below 10 deg, within single week,
and with having been loI the sub-treasury one
, day and against it the next. A lecture upon a
change Of principles he thought came with very
bad grace from such man. In regard TO The
Tariff bill, for which he and the Ohio delegation
. voted, he said tina, they had obtained much more
from The Committee of Ways and Means than
they had conceded, although he was still OF The
,, opinion that The bill would not produce sufficient
revenue 10 meet the ordinary wants Of The go
