STANDING RULE ENFoRcED.
Mr.. LYNN moved TO suspend the rules to take up
House bill No. AZ.
Mr.. sHEFFEY thought it was time that the House
would begin observe its rule in regard to taking
up bills out Of their regular order Every rregulsrty
in this regard is attended with disorder delay and
fusion and he glad that in insisting upon the strict
Observance of the rule hereafter he should have TO ap
ply it now TO a bill in which particular friend was in.
teresed his motives would not certainly be called in
question.
Mr.. BANKS hoped the House would at once put an
end 20 the confusion which must necessarily attend the
practice Of taking up bills until reached in their regular
order on the calender 1t is bad precedent to establish
and he desired to the rule rigdly enforced Other
members insisted upon taking up the bills in their
der aud, on the question being taken the rules were
not suspended. So hereafter the rules will be enforced
aud bills taken up their regular order the calender
This viii tend greatly expedite the business Of the SEES
sion.
