The Rev. Mr.. McALIfTER of California said that
ne a Churchman, he felt that it would be better TO
lay the question on the table. The Roman Catholic
Church. North and South, was one aud u had not
been pressed by tho community to record any ex-
preston about the war.
The House then nd journed TO this morning.
