Court Of Inquiry, there was for a time an
almost evenly divided Committee, and when
one or more of the members were absent,
1t frequently happened that there was tie. 1t
came TO be understood. however, by the Committee
that the inquiry would be a long and labonous one,
and that it would take up the time of the Commit
tee and of the House that ought to be devoted to
ether purposes. Besides Gen. Howard was under

court, and expressed in his letter to the Committee

A NEW RULE.

ADOPTION BY THE HOUSE or RULE ABEIDGIHG
THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS or THE MINORITY
A STOUT RESISTANCE MADE BY The DEMO
Gratis AND FEW REPUBLICANS.
lBY TELEGRAM TO THE TRIBUsEl
WASHINGTON Jan. 20-rhe attempt TO adopt a
new rule in the House curtailing the rights Oh the
minority, which failed week before last, sue
ccssfuly renewed to-day. The rule required that all
motions to suspend the rules before they can be
entertained must be seconded by majority of the
House in the manner in which the previous question
is seconded At first sight this appeared to be move
TO facilitate business and to protect members from
being forced on Mondays to vote by Yeas and Nays,
upon all sorts of buncombe propositions thrust in by
men who want to take the sense OF the House on
their pet theories, abuse that has grown to seri-
GUS proportions discussion Of the proposed rule,
however, when it was first offered, demonstrated
that it might be made powerful instrument IN the
hands of the majority 10 abridgc the constitutional
rights of the minority to have the Yeas and Nays
called upon any question when one-htth OF the mem
beers demanded them.
The debate to-day made this more clear, II posi-
BILE At present the minority have power to force
a vote upon anything that the majority does not
wish to have voted on, except Oh Monday, when
they can move to suspend the rules and if the de-
mand for Yeas and Nays is seconded by one-ffth,
fle roll must be called. During the last ten days
of the session it is also in order to move
to suspend the rules and the minority are often
enabled by this power to prevent hasty legislation,
defeat obnoxious party measures, and force terms
from the majority when an attempt is made to
crowd bills through without debate. The new rule
takes away this power The majority will still be
able to force the minority TO the record on one
of their propositions; but the minority cannot get
record vote upon anything without the consent OF
the majority.
The rule was reported by Mr.. Maynard from the
Committee on Rules where it had been prepared by
him. together with the Speaker and Mr.. Garfield.
The Democrats opposed it III solid body with great
persstency and Mr.. Dawes came TO their aid, with
body of about % Republicans, so that the
forces on both sides pretty evenly bal
anced. As far as argument was concerned,
the opponents of the innovating rule had the
advantage for they fairly proved it to be unwise,
unjust and unconstitutional, but the Republicans
under the lead of Messrs Maynard and Butler,
who thought there partisan al
vantage to be gained, slightly outnun-
bered them OH the first test vote.
