The question, = Win the House cuuenr m tho
report Of the Committee 2" was taken and result.
ted-yess 81, nays 60
So the House refused 10 concur in the report.
Mr.. Brooks moved Z reconsideration Of the
vote, for the purpose, he said, if that motion
should prevail, Of Offering the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved, That committee Of seven he an.
pointed to cit during the recess, and to inquire
into the operation Of the existing tariff system,
With all the facts relsiitg thereto or connected
Herewith, and that they report the sane, the en-
suing session Of Congress, TO the House.
And that said committee have power to sum-
mon Witnesses to take testimony, or 10 incur
such expenses as they may deem indispensibly
necessary to obtain information.
The resolution having been read
Mr.. Brooks proceeded to speak.
Mr.. Richardson interposed to q point Of order
but, upon an explanation by the Speaker, did
not press it.
Mr.. Brooks remarked that the resolution ex-
planned ITSELF 1t merely proposed to raise q
conn lite which should be permitted to sit dur
ing the recess, TO consider and report upon the
subject II committed the House TO no particu-
lar course Of action but LETT the subject open to
investigation. He demanded the previous ques.
ton.
Mr.. B. subsequently, however, Withdrew the
demand for the previous question at the request
of
Mt. Bayly, who said be would, after single
remark renew it.
Mr.. B. stated, that he should oppose this reso-
luton, and he should de:ain The House with but
one consideration in regard to it If such q
committee as this were raised, he said it was
perfectly certain that no one could serve upon
1t except gentlemen from the cities and towns.
All OF US said he, who represent the agricul-
tnra interests, and engaged IN the business Of
farming or planting, are compelled after long
session such as this has been, TO 60 home and
look after their private affairs. The result will
be, if such committee be rssed-the result
will be as have said, that no one representing
the agricultural interests can be present After
having been absent from home for such length
Of time, 1t was absolutely necessary that be
should return home and look after his private
affairs and such, he had no doubt, would be the
case with every farmer and planter. He would
renew the demand for the previous question.
Alr. Thompson, of Mississippi, moved that
the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table.
Mr.. Brooks asked the yeas and nays which
were ordered.
The Speaker, in reply to inquiries from sev-
eral quarters, explained the state of the ques-
lion, and said that the only question before the
House was on laying the motion 10 reconsider
upon the table.
MIR. Ashmun. 1.-THE vote should be recon-
sidered, will it not then be in order for the gen.
tleman from New York Mr.. Brooksl 20 offer his
resolution?
The Speaker. IF the vote should be rcconsId-
cred, the subject will be open to amendment as
1t was originally.
The question, Shall the motion to reconsider
be laid upon the table? was taken, and decided
in the affirmatve-yess 80, nays 81.
