| TEXAS BOUNDARY BILL.
The House then proceeded 10 the consideration of
| the special order, being the Texas boundary bill
The question pending was the demand for the
previous question on the motion 10 commit the bill
to the Committee OF the Whole on the state OF the
| Union.
| Mr.. McLANE, of Maryland, for the pur-
! pose of Withdrawing the motion which was made
| by him yesterday. Having been misunderstood IN
what he at that time said, he repeated that the com
| mtment OF the bill, with the amendments IN his
Judgment, would be tantamount to the rejection OF
| it. He had been appealed 10, to-day, by gentle
men on both sides, 10 withdraw the motion, 10 ena-
! bic the one TO move that the boundary oil New
! Mexico be removed further South, TO take from
Texas more than the bill now under consideration
did, and to enable the other side 10 make the Rio
| Grandc the boundary, which latter he preferred.
| IL was because he had confidence in the success
| of either amendment that he refused to withdraw
the motion. His object to pass the bill in the
| form which would be most acceptable. In its
present shape II was stronger, IN both branches,
! than any other.
| Mr.. ROOT rose TO a question of order, to the eff
feet that the gentleman, having made a speech
yesterday, could not make one to-day while other
| gentlemen were seeking the floor.
The SPEAKER, for reasons stated, decided that
| MIR. McLASE was in order.
Mr. ROOT appealed from the decision of the
Chair, and
On motion of Mr.. STANTON, Of Tennessee, the
appeal was laid upon the table
| MIR. McLANE having no further remarks to
make, renewed the demand for the previous ques-
ton, which seconded--ayes 80, noes 80.
There was much confusion in the hall, in the
midst of which
| MIR. CABLE, of Ohio, asked whether it would be
in order to lay the bill and the pending
amendments on the table.
The SPEAKER replied that it would
