The House took up the Senates resolution and
passed It, with view that the two Committees on
Public Buildings Of both Houses shall Sit jointly.
Mr. HOUsTON explained that the object vas h
deliberate on the enlargement Of the Capitol for the
better accommodation Of the House, Senate, Libra
~ and Supreme Court
Mr. RICHARDSON opposed the resolution. There
pense will be enormous and no man could tell
what il would be.
Mr. WOODWARD favored the resolution. 1t was
impossible FIR man TO debate here and 70 practice
good manners A stranger would suppose that az
the time the Capitol was constructed there was not
such & science as Acoustics.
This was not Hal; it was a Mammoth Cave.
The voice splits in all directions. He contsnded
that millions OF dollars would be saved b.
properly constructed Hall.

not be laid aside. We do Mt know what it was.

a word.
The SPrAKER requested Mr. White to suspend
his remarks uni; the confusion should be over.
MIR. WHITE repeated what he had said.
Mr.. STANTON Of Tenn. briefly supported the res
olution, when it was agreed to.
The Senates amendments TO certain private
bills were concured in Other bills were referred
TO appropriate Committees, and the resolution re-
spectIng the settlement Of three months extra pay
to accounting officers Of the Treasury was passed.
The Senate bill 10 establish a Branch Mint in
New York, and Branch Mint and Assayers OF.
fee in San Francisco, was taken up.
Mr. BRIGGS moved to refer it to the Committee
Of the Whole on the state Of the Union.
Mr.. BAYLY moved to refer it to the Committee
OF Ways and Means.
Mr.. BRIGGS hoped the bill would not be referred
to the Ways and Means Committee. One similar
to this referred early in the session, TO that
Committee, and the Committee have never seen
fit 10 report it. Let this take the same direction
and it will never be heard Of again. He trusted
that the friends Of the on both sides Of the
chamber would not send the bill to that Commit
tee. 1t had been laying on the table for more THAI
six weeks. Without troubling the House with
further remarks be moved the previous question.
