THE wAREHousRG SYSTEM.
Mr. MeCLELLAND, from the Committee on
Commerce, TO which was referred the bill from the
Senate entitled "An act TO amend an act entitled an
act TO provide revenue from imports, and TO change
and modify existing laws imposing duties on i'm
ports, and for other purposes, !" reported the
with an amendment to the title Of said bill, by In
serting after the word "acl" when il first occurs
therein, the words "to establish warehousing sys-
TEN, and, that the said title will read, Gan act
to establish warehousing system, and to amend an
act entitled an act toprovide revenue from imports,
and TO change and modify existing laws imposing
duties on imports, and for other purposes" which
amendment was agreed TO.
Mr.. +. b. KING moved that the bill be referred
TO the Committee of the Whole on the state Of the
Union.
Mr.. McCLELLAND opposed the motion, and
expressed his desire that the bill remain on the
Speakers table, that ma ority might at any time
control It, fit went at this late period Of the
sion TO the Committee Of the Whole on the state of
the Union, the probability was it would never come
out This was probably the only bill that could be
passed. IL was almost word for word the same
that which had been introduced into the House by
the Committee on Commerce The only material
difference in relation to the limit AZ TO the time
of warehousing the goods.
He gave notice that he would call the bill up on
Monday, unless some good reason should be assign
ed for deferring its consideration beyond that day
II the motion to commit should be persisted in, ne
would feel constrained TO call for the yeas and
nays.
Mr.. WINTHROP briefly sustained the motion
to commit, declaring himself in favor OF the princi-
pie Of the bill, but contending that majority would
retain control II by the usual means of resolu-
ton % terminate debate Al a atate1 time
Some suggestions were made, the result Of which
was that
Mr.. KING, of Georgia, modified his motion SO
TO add that the bill be made the special order Of
the day for Monday next
Mr.. DR0MGOOLE adyerted to the proper and
usual course of parliamentary proceeding in such
cases, and preferred that the House should first de-
eide whether the bill should be committed or not
Mr.. l. E. HOLMES, referring to the importance
of acting upon the bill at this session, demanded
the previous question.
THE motion would cut off the motion to COM
nit
The demand for the previous question was with
drawn for the moment at the request Of
Mr.. McCLELLAND who replied TO the parlia-
mentary objections OF Mr.. DRohGooLE, and stated
that in the motion he (Mr. MeC.) had submitted,
he had only confoTmed TO the instructions Of the
Committee on Commerce.
Mr., McC., in redemption Of his pledge to that
effect, renewed the demand for the previous ques-
ton.
When, on motion Mr.. G.. S. HOUSTON, the
further consideration of the bill was postponed to
Monday next.

bill for the relief Of Gregory Thomas and others
The bills on the Speakers table, on which the
question Of engrossment was pending, having been
disposed of.
Mr.. DANIEL, chairman Of the Committee of
Claims, said he had come to the conclusion from
conversation with the chairman and members of
the Committee Of Claims in the Senate, that it was
not likely that any bill Of the House passed this
lste period would receive the action Of the Senate
He should not therefore after they went into Com.
mittee of the Whole, insist upon calling up any bill
except those from the Senate If any gentleman,
however, having the charge Of any private claim
wished to bring up at the risk Of its being lost in
the Senate, he should interpose objection He
would further remark, that this being day when,
under the rule, objections being made to any bill
threw it over, he would move the suspension Of that
rule for to-day. The rule is as follows;
"on the first and fourth Friday of each MONTH the cslsn
passage of which objection shall then made shall be
hrst considered and disposed Of"
Some conversation ensued between Messrs.
ROCKWELL, of Conn, and DANIEL.
The question being taken, the House refused to
suspend the rule.
The House then, on motion of Mr.. DANIEL,
resolved itself into Committee Of the Whole, mir.
HuNGERFoRD, Of N. Y, in the chair, for the con-
