Mr. CApP resumed and read the last paragraph of the
report of the Committee OF Investigation relative TO the

Mr. HAsuEos jwhig,) of Monroe expressed the opinion
thar when this house adourns sine die it loses its
to TO exist and hence the agent committee
cannot act. He illustrated II appoints agent,
the agent act during the life Of the pncpal but

and the House being in existence the managers could
act. This was his view. He was sware it techni
cal one. But the matter is in our hands, and We
regulate the after If please. He then alluded to
the subject of business and expressed the opinion that
there were many bills Of nature that required
OF new private bills in order to act upon those Of public
interest He understood that there seventy
bills ordered to third reading last sessionhese, he
thought should be acted upon; If unimportant, they
could be laid upon the table, He derous Of adjourn
ment but be wished to stay here ong there
TO take these bills in order and act upon them all Too
much time is wasted in suspendsg rules and departing
from the order OF business Hs Soud prefer to fix
the dsy Of adjournment until this question concerning
the necsttiy OF ths Houe remaining In session, be
tied If need be let others be added to the committee
Al all events let settle this question: and then that
be the eecion, adjourn as soon as We can complete
necessary business.
Mr. LOOMS sin ed to day to send resolution for ad-

Mr CHAMPIIN (dem), Of Alesbapy, thought that the

Mr. ELLSWORTH shig) ofChautauque, desired ,sten

way for us to be called together again. The constitution
says but little about impeachment All this regu-
lated by law. And he thought could direct the
Of the managers by la and selves and thus
settle the matter for the future also.
Mr. WW' TAYLOR (whig) OF N Y agreed with the
ast gentleman relative TO the power OF the House to ad
ouIp during case of impeachment. He was, too,
willing TO delegate his power to committee. After
ering upon important prosecution, he could JUS

Mr. PETERS (whg,) Of Ganesee opposed the reference
