In the House, on the 1st., number of

luton calling upon the president for all in
formation relating to the Mexican border in
Texas aud to any recent invasion OF the ter
ritory of the United States by incursions
from Mexico. Adopted. Mr.. Ewing called
up his motion to reconsider the vote yester-
day, recommitting 10 the committee on bank.
ing aud currency bill to repeal the third sec-
ton OF the resumption acts Mr. Carnes In
quired whether any discussion sf the bill WAS
to lie allowed Mr., Ewing replied that 1t had
been the desire OF the committee TO have
ample discussion OF the provisions Of the
bill, but as 1t was in the morning the Oppor-
tunities for discussion and management OF
the bill were very much restricted besides,
there was some probability at least, OF an
early nd adjournmeut by congress The COM
mittee had, therefore, instructed him to ask
the unanimous consent to. have the discus.
sion continue to-day until 3 o'clock, with the
understanding that the previous question
should be demsnded on the passage Of the
bill. A discussion followed and the morning
hour having expired, the matter was then
passed over Under these tactics of the OPP
position to consume the morning hour each
day in dilstory motions, action on the bill
can lee postponed indefinitely. The bill has
no status in the house except during the
morning hour, and in that respect is in the
same position that the Bland silver bill was
in the last congress, and Hooper's civil rights
bil! during the previous congress The only
alternatives in q parliamentary sense would
be TO have the bill again reported and re-
ferred TO comm t'e. of the whole on the state
Of the union, where it would be open to in
definite discussion and amendment, or else 10
pass 1t under suspension of the rules; but
that would require majority Of two.thrds.
