cussed till one O'Clock, when, on mo.
tion of Mr.. Montgomery, the Commit.
tee rose and the House took up the
Kansas bill. A message from the
Senate, insisting upon it's disagree
ment to the House amendment, and
asking o Committee Of Conference,
was read. Mr.. Montgomery moved
that the House iusist on ite adherence,
and demanded the previous question.
AIR. English inquired whether, if
the Committee of Conference be Or
dered by the House, parliamentary
law and practice require that a majori.
! ity of the committee be composed Of
gentlemen representing majority OF
the House, or a majority of those in
favor of the House bill.-Mr. STAN
ton said, ifin order, he would object
to the question, because this would
! provoke Interrogation on the other
side.-Mr. English gave notice that
it the motion was voted down, he
weuld move for a Committee of Con.
ference.--Thc House then voted OH
seconding the demand for the previous
question, Yeas 1OS; NAYS 107. The
Speaker voted in the negative, max.
ing it tic vote. The question was
lost.-Mr. English, that he aight
not be misunderstood, said that he was
opposed to the Senate bill, in its pres.
ent shape; but, Notwithstanding this,
he was willing to hear what the Sen
ate had to say, and was in favor OF
appointing committee of conference.
lie could see that no harm would re.
suit from this, and, therefore, moved
that the House agree to a committee
Of conference, and that three members
be appointed on the part of the House.
lie moved for the previous question,
which was seconded, and, the vote be.
ing taken, stood--yeas 10S, nays 1OS.
The Speaker gave his casting vote in
the affirmative so that English's mo.
ton prevailed. The result of this
vote was received by applause from
the galleries, which was rebuked by
the Speaker. After some conversa,
ton on the subject, a motion was
made to reconsider the vote, which
was CaEried and then laid on the ia.
