On motion of Mr.. PEYToN, the Committee

plicate land warrants, where the original has
been lost under such rules and regulations as
he may prescribe
BILE and resolutions, expressive of regret that
the executive congressional committee failed
to extend to the Seventh Regiment of New
York the hospitality or respect SO eminently
their due.
Messrs. HoUsToN, DAVIDSON, and BRANCH
objected to the reception of the resolutions,
saying they cast an imputation on the com
mittee which might be true or false.
Mr.. MAYNARD asked leave to offer a pream
bic acknowledging the Indebtedness to Divine
Providence for our innumerable blessings, and
concluding with a resolution that the daily
sessions of the House be opened with PRAYER,
and to this end, that the pastors of the several
churches be invited to perform the solemn

Mr.. CURTIS and others objected to the reso-

Mr.. BRIsTow remarked that the resolution
would simply make nomination. 1t was as
follows :-"Resolved, That w. w. Seaton of
the firm of Gales & Seaton be appointed prin-

Mr.. STANTON hoped the resolution would be
adopted.
Mr.. BococK, who temporarily occupied the

the Council, so that tho Council may give
tho subject fair and impartial inveItiga-
ton.
The committee was organized for spe-
cifc purpose, and Mr.. Biles made chairman
by this Council through the chair, and the
papers pertaining to this subject wcrc de-
ivorcd to him, and must, according 10 par
liamcutary usage, pass through the chair
man Of tho committee to the other House,
where, for aught tho chair or the Council
knows, they now arc, which will be seen by
referring to Jeiferson's Manual, page 100.
In all cases Of conferences asked after O
vote Of disagreement, ETC., tho confcTees OF
the House asking it arc to leave the pa
pers with the confcreos Of the other House.
Now if tho committee have done as VIC
would naturally expect, the papers are now
in the possession Of the other House. 1t
is certain that they arc not in the possess
ion of the Council If the paper5 have
gone to the other House where they should
be, for augbt this Council knows, the House
may have receded from their amendments.
To prevent such double action, tho follow
ing joint rule was wisely adopted. Joint
rulo reads
"Ncther House shall take any action
upon bill while the same is in possession
of the other House"
Thus it appears this subject is not prop
erly before this House. The chair is Of
opinion that reports should come through
the chairman as organized by and known
to this Council, or bear on their face the
reason why they come, otherwise any mem
Der of a committee may mako report at
any time, and committees cease to bo Of
utility. This doctrine seems to be en-
braced 10 our 47th rule, which roads as
follows
"The chairman Of every committee 9th
or than of the standing committees that
shall have business referred to them, shall
make report" etc,
If this doctrine is true, of which the
chair has no doubt, this report goes to dis
regard the regular organization Of the COM
mittee, and override its chairman.
We come now to the report, which rec
ommcnds that the Council reeede from their
disagreement to the House amendments.
This proposition the chair cannot entertain.
First. The House properly being il pos
session of the papers, may have roceded
from their amendments, or they may here
after recedc. And second, because the
Council has already acted on a similar
proposition, and the only way to reach the
question being by reconsideration, and the
time for reconsideration being past, the
chair therefore rules tho recommendation
Of the committee out of order.
Tho chair will further state that tho re-
port clearly shows q disagreement Of the
committee, and failure to procure taC
object for which the committee was organ
ized, and so far as the Council is concerned
the bill falls.

FnESD FuRsTE;--HaVing learned that
I have boon threatened by my friend Fer

on account Of ruling made BY me relative

mont bin, think il due to the people, as
well as 70 myself to submit few facts 10
relation thereto.
= IN tbo FIRST place, let mo say few words
touching the various npportionment bills
Submitted at this session. My understand
ing Of tho history Of these bills, is as fol-
loWs,-Early in tho session. Mr.. WEBSTER,
Of Kitsap county, introduced an apportion-
mont bill, which / believe was based entire
y upon the sole Of the Territory, as ascer-
taincd by the last vote for. delegate 70
Congress To this objected, because
then and do noW believe that any appor-
ti61ment based upon that vote simply, did
gross injustice to tho interior counties, one
Of which (Spokane) entirely failed to vote
at that electioa This bill was referred to
q committee Of the House, Of which Mr..
a. G. SnoRr, Of Clarke, and Mr.. Ferguson
were members, and ] felt easy, knowing
that they would protect the interests Of
south and interior. But to my utter sur
prise, these gentlemen, aud Mr. WooD, of
Pierce, came 10 nc ono evening with bill
which they said had been agreed upon By
that committee, and would be reported 10
the House next day. Nov, conceive this
bill did great Injustice to my constituents,
giving Clarke and Skamania counties but
one councilman. pointed out this objcc-
ilon to Mr.. Ferguson, and be replied by
stating that he did not care a d-n for
me, aud that the friends Of the bill would
pass i over my d-d old grey head" Il
then vent to work to get up new bill, and
ia less than two hours a majority Of the
House had agreed TO pass a different bill
from the one agreed upon BY the commit
Tee. After all bis vain boasting, my friend
Ferguson agreed to support this nsIO BIZ;
and this was the bin which was introduced
and passed BY the lower House.
With regard to this bill, | win here re-
mark, that though It did ample justice to
Clarke county and my council district, II
lid gross injustice to that of my FREUD @. |

ENCOURAGE THE BOYS ON THE
Eae FARM.

4 This Is a subject to which too little at
tention is given by farmers generally
Farmers boys are TOO apt to grow up with.
out knowledge Of the most essential por-
TOMS Of their profession. They are gen.
orally made too familiar with the nnpleas-
ant portions of farmers life, and not
familiar enough with the pleasant portions.
They are kept to much in the shade OF the
profess sion, without its sunshine. They
are to look upon their life as the most bur
densome within the range of mans voca-
tions.Y In fact the course pursued by three
fourths Of the farmers Of our country, is
dency TO drive their sons from the farm
into some business that seems to have
more charms for them; but which, in the
end, leaves hundreds and thousands Of
them in poverty, drunkenness and crime.
Law. medicine, divinity, politics, and com
merce, all have charms for them, when
viewed from the standpoint of farm-labor,
which few of them ever realize, when they
engage in them, as a reality Of life. And
4 large portion of these failures, and this
unhappiness arise from the neglect of the
farmers to train their sons Alright. 10
other words, they don't give the boys =
chance.
"A different course must certainly be
: adopted, If we would keep the boys at
home. We do not mean that they should
be deprived OF education, or the advan-
tage of society. Far from it. Educate
gthsm thoroughly. Familiarize them with
: all the manners aud customs of social
life. But, at the same time, do that part
Of your duty, III such way, that their
minds may not be alienated from their
profession; miugle the pleasant, profitable
aud encouraging with the tedious and mo-
inotonous. They should go together. BE.
gin when the boys are young. Give the
boy, when twslve or fifteen years of age,
n pair Of steers to break and raise to oxen,
for his own team-a heiier calf to make
cow-a colt to make horse--a pig to
make hog-a patch of ground upon
which to raise potatoes, corn, onions.
beans, or anything else he sees fit to plant
upon it,. with the understanding, that the
proceeds Of the sale of any and all these,
ut their proper time, shall be his, to in
vest as his Judgment shall dictate. Ena-
BILE him, in this way, to lap the foundation
for "A future competency. Impress him
with the idea that his vocation is the most
pleasant. profitable and independents
Teach him habits of industry keep him
out of bad compauy-give him relish
for farming him coutended with
his lot, and our word for it, you will have
much less trouble with your boys than now.
Your stock will look hetter-ycur farms
will be cultivated more thoroughly, aud
kept more nea,ly--your fireside viii! be
happier--your family more intelligent
your Golfers fuller, aud the down.hill OF
life more free from care and anxiety.
