Mr.. Schenck moved that one thousand
copies of the loan laws of the United
States be ordered to be printed, the PAM
phlet to be prepared under the direction of
the Committee on Ways and Means. Re-
ferred to the Committee on Printing.
A resolution to print additional copies
II the Postofice report was also referred.
Mr.. Schenck moved that the House go
INTO the Committee of the Whole on the
state of the Union.
Mr.. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, offered
The usual resolutions for distributing the
Presidents message among the various
committees to which its subject APP
piled. Among them was proposition to
refer a portion of it to the Committee on
Reconstruction.
Mr.. Ross made point of order thst the
was out of order, as there was
no such committee IN existence.
The Chairman overruled the point of
order.
Mr.. Stevens stated in explanation that
new States would be coming in from week
10 week foE ten weeks, and there should be !
3 committee to have charge of the subject. |
He would, however, modify his resolution
70 as to refer the subject TO select COM
nittee of nine.
Mr.. Ross did not see that that altered |
he matter at all. BE denounced this as a
covert way of reviying the committee
without vote of the House by simply re.
Terring the subject to it. The Committee
On Reconstruction had stood in the wav of |
and had INSTRUCTED the
wise, salutary and .iIdicious measures of |
he President to give peace and harmony to |
he country. The time had come when |
he voice Of the people had been heard on
hese great questions, and be called on their |
to heed that warning voice.
The House had by its vote to-day, con-
lemned the action of the Committee on |
and given its endorse
uent 10 the iudiciOr1s rneaenres of the
