Mr. FAULKNER, of Virginia, submitted a reso-
luton instructing the Committee on Foreign Affairs
to inquire into the expediency Of amending the act
regulating the diplomatic and consular system in
several particulars; which was agreed to.
On motion of Mr.. CAMPBELL, of Ohio, the de-
iciency bill, returned from the Senate with amend
ments, was referred to the Committee of Ways
and Means.
Mr.. WASHBRN, of Me-, from the Committee Of
Elections reported what action has been had by said
committee in the contested election case of Archer

The House resumed the consideration of the bill
defining the rights Of voters and the duties of COM
missioners Of elections in the city of Washington,
and for other purposes, the question being on the
appeal Of Mr. 0RR, of South Carolina, from the de-
cision of the Chair, ruling motion to reconsider
the previous question in order.
Mr.. ORR remarked that the decision of the Chair
was in opposition TO what he conceived to be the
uniform practice Of the House and, as the present
decision was likely to become precedent for the
present Congress, he would ask for the yeas and
nays. 1850 aattatt t'.
The yeas and nays were ordered, and the ques-
ton put "Shal the decision Of the Chair stand

afirmative--yeas LOG, nays AZ.
So the decision Of the Chair was sustained.
The question then REQUIRED on the motion to re-
consider the vote seconding the demand for the
previous question. f6rtt4
Mr.. LETCHER moved TO lay the motion to re-
consider on the table and the yeas and nays we're
being taken this motion when our report closed,
