order was again made. and Mr.. Butler
asserted that he had rs much right to be-

should stand The gentlemaa Mr. But

The next amendment voted on was
that offered by Mr. +. K Hoar to strike
out the first Sccondan fourth >cction,a and
before reaching that vote there were
two dilatory motions on which the yeas
were called, the Speakers conception of
the new being that it does not apply
simply to the measure as II whole, but to
each distinct question arising on it, and
that during the pendency Of each ques-
tOn, such for instance, "a an amendment
to the bill, motion to adjourn, and II
motion to fix the day to which the House
shall adjourn, are IN order ~ well rs Il
motion to reconsider.
1t was calculated by Mr.. Kasson, at 8
o'clock, that ut this rate the House would

gcstcd an agreement that the hour should
be fixed on Monday for taking final
vote but objection was made.

The Democrats Resisfin. as Much as
Possible.
The next question in the regular order
was on the cngro,sment of the bill. and
the usual two dilatory motions were in
tcrposcd, which occupied another hour
beyond tn" time for taking that vote
down to half-past ten. The object Of the
Democrats in keeping up these dilatory
motions seems to be to repeat the tactics
of Thursday night. wearing out
enough Republicans in order to leave
that side without a quorum, and then
some real question either out vote or r.~
