for the simple reason that the question whether Tue
amendment was german or not was question ior
the House TO decide and not for the presiding ol-
Ger. The point raised by Mr. Weed was clearly out
of order as was the appeal from the decision OF inc
Chair and all the debate that took place under tna'
appeal, and he 1.-THE Speaker should 80 declare IL.
The question now was on the previous question
moved by Col. Spencer Col. Spencer here rose ana
said he Withdrew his motion for the previous qles-
ton, and also his amendment, trusting that the
proposition made by him would be carried out by
the minority in the spirit Of the remarks made oy
Mr. Weed. The matter here dropped. and the house
resumed the third reading of bills.
1t is reported ON good authority that the Demo
cratic Assembiymen at their caucus this afternoon
signed an agreement TO resign in a body II the he
publicans persisted in putting the Police bill through
in the manner proposed this morning. and thus pre-.
vent the passage of the Supply BILL as well as All
other bills requiring the presence of thTee-ithS OF
the members. This report having been communl-
Gated to Gov. Dix he remarked, Let them resign;
We can fill their Places 1t was argued in the eau
Gus that if the bill passed it would give the control
of the Police TO the Republicans, and that the
Democrats would in that be unable to carry the
State next Fall. Fortunately, affairs have taken
turn which saves them from committing very fool
ish act.

APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE LOUISIANA sUl
FERERs.

When the bill was passed last week authorizing
the Secretary of War to distribute rstions to the
people rendered destitute by the floods the lower
Mississippi. nobody took pains to inquire whether
there were any surplus rations to give out. Such
hasty legislation is almost always defective. Tues
day the House learned that it was necessary to ap
propriste large of money 60 buy the provisions
before any could be distributed, the supply on hand
not being any too great for the needs Of the army
Secretary Belknap asked for $90000 to supply 1900

When the hour tOf nine arrived NOi. Spencer Iose
and said that inasmuch as some gentlemen In the
minority had complained of o lack of opportunity
to discuss the bill moved by Tim this morning he
had concluded after consultation with members OF
the majority to suggest if II be acceptable TO the
minority that the House meet at o'clock tomorrow
morning and that Immediately thereupOn motion
be made to suspend the rules and to discharge the
Standing Committee from further consideration OF
Senate bill 374 the Police and Park bill, and that
the bill then have its third reading; also that one
hour be allowed for discussing its merits, OF which
forty minutes might be occupied by opponents OF
the bill and that it then be put on its passage with
ont further delay debate, or amendment C0l.
Spencer said he regarded this as fair offer on the
part of the friends of the bill and hoped it would be
accepted by its opponents and all further wranging
and angry feeling be avoided.
Mr. Weed did not see how the proposition Of Col.
Spencer was practicable yet he would say, for one
that while he bitterly opposed the bill IN question,
he should offer no factious opposition to 1t, II 1t
was properly brought before the House for consid
Grafton.
Speaker Hustled then said that owing to ill-health
he was unable to preside this morning, when the
subject was under consideration and had called MI
Lincoln TO the chair He then rehearsed the pro-
ceedngs of the morning and said that ut the time
of the adjournment the question pending was on the
appeal of Mr. Alvord from the decision OF the Chalr
oyerruling the point OF order raised by MI weed
That point of order was that the amendment pro-
posed by Col Spencer 10 the Senate Oil was not III
