During the proceedings an Intellectual attempt was
made by Mr.. REAGAN (Dem., Texas) TO confne the
discussion in Committee OF the Whole on the State of

Mr.. PENDLErON showed how, by the working Of
the rule members almost entirely precluded from
introducing bills and resolutions, while unlimited time
is afforded for essays on the negro and all other rrea-
