HOUSE oE REPRESENTATIVES,

Mr.. KAUFMAN, from the COMMITTEES on the
Rules, reported certain amendments TO the House,
and asked that they lie on the table, be printed,
and made the special order for Thursday next.
Mr.. INGE called for the orders of the day, and
objected to the reception of any report. This, he
said was in accordance with the general wish of
his side of the House.
The rules were suspended, on the motion of Mr..
KAUFMAN-ayes Il2, nocs43; and the amendments
TO the rules ordered to be printed and made the spe-
cial order for Thursday next.
Mr.. MORTON, of Virginia, asked TO exercise the
privilege, by the courtesy of the House, of explain
ing his position and repeling assaults made on
him in his official capacity.
The SPEAKER stated the question to the House I;
and,
Objection being interposcd, the honorable gentle
man was prevented from making defence.
The House then proceeded to the regular BUSH
ness-the election Of of6cers-Messrs THoMPsoN, of
Pennsylvania, CRowELL, HARRISON, and WHITE,
acting tellers. Having voted twice without
making choice of Clerk
Mr.. CHESTER BUTLER moved that further
proceedings in the election Of Clerk be postponed
for the present. and that the House proceed TO the
election of Sergeant alarms, having understood
that the present incumbent wishes to be relieved
To this there was objection.
Mr.. MARSHALL, Of Kentucky, asked leave to
effer the following resolution, which was read for
information, viz:
Resolved, That Thomas j. Campbell who is now
performing er graia the duties Of Clerk should be
sworn by the Speaker, TO act pro fenpore as Clerk
Objection being made
Mr.. MARSHALL remarked, that, as would be
perceived by the other side Of the House, this
concession 10 the point made by the gentleman
from Alabama (Mr. INeE) the other day, namely,
that the House cannot at all proceed in its business
until Clerk be sworn. He appealed TO the law Of
lI59 on the subject IL appeared to him that the
person acting as Clerk ought TO be sworn.
The SPEAKER reminded the gentleman that de-
bate out of order.
Mr.. MARSHALL moved that the rules (which
require the resolution 10 lie over) be suspended,
that vote might be taken on the proposition.
Mr.. CARTER inquired whether the House had
not better elect Clerk before they swore him.
Mr.. MARSHALL would answer: MIR. CAMPBELL
was acting as Clerk, and ought TO be sworn or not
act at all.
Mr.. SCHENCK suggested TO the gentleman from
Kentucky, that instead Of moving a suspension of
the rules he offer another resolution, appointing T.
j. CAMPBELL Clerk.
The SPEAKER thought that resolution Of that
character would not be in order, unless by sus-
pension Of the rules.
The question was then taken on the motion Of
Mr.. MARSHALL, and decided in the negative--two-
thirds not voting in favor IL.
Mr.. KAUFMAN offered resolution, that if, on
the next vote for Clerk, person have a majority
of all the votes, plurality shall elect
Objection made, when
Mr.. KAUFMAN moved "a suspension of the rules
The question taken and decided in the mega
tive.
The following is the result Of the vote to-day for

FIFTY THOUSAND PERSONS

TIE annually in England Of CONSUMPTION
IL In the New England States, the proportion is
one in four FIVE. In Boston, probably, one in
four. In the city Of New York, sixty seven died n
two weeks in December of this disease. II is less
prevalent in the more northern ATTITUDES, as Rus
STA, Canada, and among the Alps Of Switzerland
where the winters are long and severe, and there
are fewer sudden changes.
No theory can be more welcome TO the human
mind than the which establishes, ON good
grounds, the hope for prolonged existence; il the
allegations Of those who least entitled TO
racity may be believed, there is preventative
and remedy.
The great Author of Nature has provided US with
n remedy for Consumption, and the diseases lead
ing thereto which are 30 fearfuly common in our
country Has He left TO find relief from that
fatal scourgc by ransacking other lands No,
the best, Natures own Remedy, is at our hand

One of the most important discoveries Of the age,
in amelioraing the condition Of this large class Of
suffering humanity, is

introduced in the year 1898, since which time its

taking from her any of her property. He is not
