The SPEAKER. The gentleman from Tennes.
see is upon the floor to point of order, and has

Mr.. JONES. wish to know if a motion to take
up those bills, this being private bill day, would
not take precedence of motion to go into a Com
mittee of the Whole?
The SPEAKER. The consideration of those bills
would have been the business before the House, if
the House were not restrained by the business
brought up by the motion to reconsider; but for
that it would have been the duty of the Speaker
this morning to have ordered those bills to be re-
ported, though it was in order then to go into a
Committee of the Whole House upon the private
calendar.

business.
The SPEAKER. 1t is the motion to go into
Committee of the Whole House upon the private
calendar.

precedence?

Chair. 1t would be the duty of the Chair, if the
way were not blocked up, to go to the bills which
have been reported from Committee of the Whole
