three times during this session. All OBJ
iections were overruled. and vote was
AIKEN, amid great excitement, which re-
suited in the motion being again rejected.
Sener voted in the negative, and thus
prevented two-third. vote in its favor.
Mr.. Garfield made motion to amend
Mr.. Cessnas motion Of yesterday, by
changing "three-fourths' into "two-
thirds and adopting this as a new rule,
but this was also rejected.
Mr.. KassOn made a similar motion to
Mr.. Buffers, which, after debate, was
carried, and WAS the cause Of much con-
graduation on the part OF the Republi-
cans and depression 10 the Democrats.
MeSsrs. Cox and Randall offered their
designations a members Of the Commit
tee on Rules, but the Speaker decided
that such action was out of order. This
led to spicy discussion, and Mr.. Gar
field then spoke at length in defence Of
his motion
Mr.. Garfield then moved to suspend
the rules and adopt As new rule the fol-
lowing: Whenever II question is pend
ing before the House the speaker shall
not entertain any motion of dilatory
character, except one motion to ad-
iourn and one motion to fix the day to
which the House shall adjourn, the pre-
yious question or engroSsment and the
third reading of any bill or joint rssolu-
ton, sAall not be ordered during the first
day of its consideration, unless three
fourths of the members shall second
the demand. Provided that this rule shall
not apply to the House resolutions; and
provided further that it shall not apply To
any proposition to appropriate money
credit or other property of the United
States, except the regular annual appro-
priation bills.
At the suggestion of Mr. Hale, OF
Maine. Mr. Garfield modified the rule
by changing threc-fourth to two-thirds.
Mr.. Butler of Massachusetts, and Mr..
Cessna made an effort to have the pre-
vious question struck out, but they were
unable to do so.
Mr.. Butler then desired TO have the
rules still further changed, saying that
these old rules were made in the interest
of the old slave power.
Mr.. Cox said the gentleman from Mas
sachusets referred to our tilibustcrIng To
prevent certain business intended To ef-
feet the South. can show him that
when Presidegt Grant sent.to Congress
message about Louisiana, in February
two wears ago. it was referred to the Jn-
diciary Committee and that committee
never took action upon it. Since your
own President charges you with
dlrelictiOn of duty in that regard. |
stated at that time that the non action OF
the Judiciary Committee would prompt
u,urpation, and il has done So. 1t i not,
therefore, for the gentleman from MasSa-
chusctts to complain that the minority
ubstructs the restoration Of order and
tranquility in the South. The gentleman
SAYS. perhaps "ior dramatic effect,
that "the rules and | suppose
the constitution itself, were made
by the slave owners. They were
administered ut least in Charleston by the
slave power, with the help of Caleb
Cushing and another respectable gem
tleman from Massachusetts. Laughter.
The parliamentary rulcslwcre adopted "a
az uard against the cncroachments of the
crown and the corruptlons OF power ANA
are now dropping into littl" minority in
Congress. You are unwiSc enough for
the sake of II temporary advantage IN
this Civil Rights Bill, to take dawn all
these safeguards which would prevent
the quackerics and cNtravaganrcs be-
longing to legislation. Thcs" rules ar"
old. they are venerable.
