The time Of the House of Representatives has
been consumed to-day to little profit. The mea-
sure up was taa OH 70 regulate electlons In tnls

resident who shall have resided bore one year i'm

Blu. the trouble to-day, "a yesterday, arose upon
points of order The House su stained the ruling
of the Speaker Q06 to 40 In case OF appeal from
his decision and yet it is very doubtful that the
Speaker was right. There certainly are caviliers
seeking opportunity to entrap him but this
vote of the House makes il manifest that the dis.
position is not general
The question of order may be stated thus In
ordinary q motion is not put without being
seconded by q member but the call for the pre-
vous question:" having the effect of q motion

&c } requires majority to second it, and the wish
of this majority may be ascertained by a count 1t
having been determined by this means, this
aion motion was made to reconsider this uots (vz
the secondng) and the question of entertaining
this motion to reconsider was the point raised To
shew where this course would lead, Mr.. Mace
moved to reconsider the motion to reconsider,
leaving it to some one else to move to reconsider
his motion. and so on without end But the vote"
Of which they spoke was but the second to mo-
ton, and the decision of that motion affirmatvely
or negatively, was the only proper way to get be-
yond that point. A. B. G.
