Tor some time and in which the question was
warmly contested on both sides. .
The hour rule has produced q beneficial re-
form in the business and in the oratory of the
House. It's no new or absurd rule. It was
adopted By the Greeks in popular assemblies
The orators spoke Od clpsydruna, by the wa
ter glass.
The effect Of the rule in the House, has been
70 enable young members to be heard, instead
Of combining the debate to the old and expert
enced members. 1t has forced members to
condense their arguments and views, whether
Premeditated or not. 1t induces them to
study their topics, and be well prepared for
the debate. 1t does not prevent them from en-
larging their field of argument or illustrations
in the written out speech, which is to be adj
dressed to Buncombe. If a man has anything
to say with a view toconvince the House, he
can say it an hour or never.
The House agreed to stand by the rule; but
adopted an additional rule, pr ,vidiDg that the
member who reported the bill under consider
alton from any committee, may open and close
the debate; and further, any member Is allow
ed five minutes in committee, to explain the
plan, the object,nature and effect ofany amend
ment which he may offer.
A proposition to change the rules so as to
settle the right Of each member to speak in sue
cession by lot, from among the members who
register their names, as intending to speak on
the subject before the House, was rejected.
Another amendment was agreed to, allow.
ing members to address the House in Commit
tee, from the Clerks desk, or a place near the
Speakers chair. THIS is a very important i'm
provoment, for it will enable the orator to be
heard distinctly in every part of the House.
This is the custom in the French Chambers.
The members speak from the Tribune. We shall
have hereafter, such familiar phrases as are
well known in the French Parliamentary histo-
~ to.wit: Mr.. Smith srushed to the Tribune,n
etc.
A rule was adopted to prevent consumption
Of time, in %fruitless attempts to suspend the
rules.
The names Of members who obstruct bust
ness by leaving the Committee of the Whole
without a quorum, are to be reported and en-
tered on the Journals.
The last Of the new rules reported by the
Committee on Rules, providing for the estab-
lishment of new Standing Committee, to be
called the Smithsonian Committee, whose duty
it shall be to superintend the affairs of the
Smithsonian Institute.
Mr.. billiard, Of Ala, who now holds the sit
uatlon Of Regent Of the Smithsonian Institute,
made a speech in opposition to the measure,
showing that it is inconsistent with the act
ESTABLISHING and organizing the Institution.
Mr.. II. TOOK occasion to deny the truth Of a
story that the Institution had bought a certain
old Bible at an extravagan t price. They have
bought no Bible at all. The subject Of this
rule was postponed.
Mr.. Secretary Walker has addressed a letter
to the Committee on Ways and Means, Urgent
ly asking an immediate report from the Com
miItee Of a bill authorizing a loan of seventeen
millions. The Committee will, probably, re-
port the bill next week.

Other things may be great said old Roger
with a nod, 'besides what's called so; some
very title thing, if It is done well, can be a
great one; in imPudencc, say. for instance
Yesterday a boy asked me p%itifully for a four
pence-I gave him what thought to be one,
and passed on. Presently I ielt a witch at
my coat tail, and looked round, and there
stood the boy. SIR says he, you Ose me a

"Col' Clark makes an excellent Commander

Quoted IN an altogether different manner, from

TOO ioOSe' hence, Col. Clark was compelled 10
tighten the reins on us; in this he las conduc-

Has Mr.. Walker forgotten his ~favorite pro-
ject as presented in his celebrated Texas letter,
Of Mexico becoming the future home of the
black population Of the United States; and is
not the administration allowing a most f%avora-
BILE opportunity to make a beginning to pass
unlmProved? Why does not the President
issue his proclamation, to the effect that all
free negroes migrating TO Mexico, shall be
protected by our army, and that their lives and
property shall be safe under any treaty that
may be made. Emancipation and coloniza-
ton would then begin in earnest. The intel
hgent free black could not hesitate to go where
MS social and political equality would be per-

become President Of Mexico!-Jour of Com.

GENERAL TAYLoR-The Legislature of New
York and the Councils Of the city, have passed
resolutions, inviting Gen. Taylor to visit the
State and city.
The Legislature of Louisiana have passed
unanimous resolutions to the same effect.
The Richmond Wing says:
"The Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Patriot, reports, on the authority of a
member Of Congress, who had just returned
from a flying visit to Richmond, that almost
every Wing member Of the Legislature there
is for OLD RoUsH and READY for the Presiden-
cy."
"Our own intercourse with the members
since the present session commenced, has been
Of necessity SO limited that we cannot UNDER
take to say, to what degree of credit this asser.
ton, thus broadly stated is entitled. Our i'm.
preston is, however, that in a qualified sense,
1t is not exaggerated greatly If at all. What
we mean is, that Gen. Taylor is not, if we are
correctly informed, the abSOlute preference Of
many who, nevertheless, believing bln a sound
Wing, a jealous patriot, a man Of stern iuteg-
rity Of character and strong int llect, are g It's
fed that, under existing circumstances he
ought to be the candidate Of the Wing party.
Of many, of the Wing members, indeed, it is
certain that Cen. Taylor is decidedly the first
choice, without regard to those motives Of ex-
p~ediency by which, to some extent others are
Influenced in desiring his nomination-though
it happens fortunately these considerations of
exPediency do nOtimply the sacri6ces of higher
impulses Of action Those which refer to the
ABILITY and orthodoxy of the proposed candi-
date, in all which respects Gen. Taylor lie wOr.
thy of the jealous and cordial support of the
great Conservative party of the country"

The New Orkans Picayune gives the follow
ing deeripIion OF Gen. Taylor's appearance
and manners. II is a most faithful picture Of
this remarkable man-nOt inaptly called the
"good General"
He is the same frank, manly and single-heart-
ed soldier he was years gone Unchanged in
nothing if we except a difference which in-
creases with his increasing fame. There is a
cordial hospitality in the grasp Of his hand-an
Oldfashioned, honest welcome in the Candor
Of his greeling-a generous Straightforward
ness in his whole bearing, which at once cap.
tivates the mind, and agives assurance of a
man."
The natural gentlenesS Of his heart, and the
truthful quality of his disposition are so con-
spicuOus in his social relations, that they tenn
per with mildness the daring expression of his
eye, and difuse even bIandhess over the rug
ged bOldness Of his camp-hardened features.
There is not in him the slightest tlnge Of
elf-consequence-nothing to denote a wish
TO be considered greater than others.
His character is so simple in it's construction,
success cannot spoil it's symmetry, or
deface 1t with single pref tension. 1t
does one good to be in the presence Of this
man Of mighty deeds, in whose nature self-de-
NAL is SO absolute an element that he bushes
at the great things he has himself done.
