On motion by Mr. PRATHER, the resolution

NEW PROPOSITIONS
Mr.. GREGG Introduced a Joint resolution
Il r. No LEI in relation to the tixation of
United States bonds and other public securities
Also. a joint resolution n. X 1877 in relation
To the taxation Of United States bonds for
county, township aud city purposes, as other
investments OF money are taxed
Mr.. NEWCONB moved that thew be referred
10 the Committee on the Judiciary
Mr. klLGORE thought this motion for
brewing this resolution into the hands of
Committee where they will sleep till the end of
the session. He considered that these bonds
should DO taxed as other property, and he de-
sired the House TO act upon this matter
Mr. BROWN concurred with the gentleman
from Delaware He wanted these resolutions
adopted and sent TO Senators aud Represen-
tstives at Washington And as his friend Carr
tneSr himl was now on his way there, il could
not be entrusted 70 safer hands
Mr. NEWCOMB thought all those PROPOSE
tons should go to the same Committee and as
one member of the judiciary Committee he /
promised action and report on the matter. They I
we're all plain legal questions involved in these /
resolutions
Mr.. PRATHER Submitted that resolutions of
that class should go 10 the Committee on Fed /
eral Relations, without debate The resolution
authorizing the rule is n page 2i6 of the journal
OF the House OF last session
The SPEAKER. The Chair is of opinion 1
that joint resolutions do not come within the
spirit and letter of this resolution There was 7
difference bstween a simple resolution of the
House and joint resolution, the latter assimi-
lating itself to bill IL was the design of the
rule to refer mere political matters without de-
bate
message was bow received by Acting Gov
eruor Baker, announcing that he has authorized
Charles p. Jacobs, Esq., to make executive
communications TO the General Assembly. Also.
message in writing which was read BY Mr..
Jacobs. for which see Senate proceedings
Mr.. NEW COMB controverted the decision of
the Chair that MIR Gregg's joint resolution did
not come under the force Of the resolution d.
recting such matter 10 go TO the Committee on
Federal Relations. He showed that the concur
rent resolutions OF Mr.. Groves and two Others
having reference TO national affairs, already in
PRODUCED since this session convened, were re-
ferred without debates to the COMMITTEES on Fed
eral Relations; aud these had reference to ma.
tioDai affairs as distinctly as those.
Mr.. BROWN referred TO the reason for this
rule of the last session. There was disposition
amongst members TO introduce resolutions rela-
tive 10 the condition OF the country and we found
that the time we owed 10 the people was being
wasted in useless debate in regard to the war,
Sons OF Liberty, LOYALTY, treason, aud kindred
topics. and the resolution for this rule was in
troduced simply to cut of debate on such ques
tons But this joint resolution does not touch
federal or national affairs. 1t was simply a
matter of finance. Bat here, the other dsy,
was resolution asking that JEFF Davis be
hung. That was aresoution just such as was in
tended to be reursssed by the resolution Of the
last session. This JOINT resolution, being OF
another character, il could not be regarded a.
coming under the rule requiring the reference
to the Committee on Federal Relations.
The SPEAKER (Mr, Buskirk in the chair
referred to the course of proceeding in the
consideration of joint resolution under the
rules OF the House. The Supreme Court re-
garded joint resolution in some respects as a
bill. But there was certainly a very distinct
difference between Joint resolution" aud
mere resolution of the House. The chair ad-
mitted that these Joint resolutions did unques-
tionably refer to National affairs: and thereupou
gave the decision. that it go to the Committee
on Federal Rela,ions;-not because il was held
10 be "a correct ruling. but because such had
been the ruling by the Speaker heretofore.
