were introduced and referred. Senator Arm
strong presented memorial of the Kansas
City Board of Trade, favoring the repeal of
the specie resumption act, reconciliation of
st. Louis Merchants Exchange favor
ing u repeal of the bankrupt law,
both of which were referred. che
Senate went into executive session, and, when
the doors were reopened, adjourned. In
the House Mr. Goode asked leave to oifer q
resolution, declaring that, in the Judgment OF
the House, the action of the President IN with
drawing troops from South Carolina and Lou
isana was wise and just and constitutional;
that it has contributed in large degree
to the restoration of peace and harmony
throughout the country, and is entitled
to receive the cordial support of all men who
ealize that, while there is North and
South and AN East and West, there Is but
one country. one Constitution, and one des-
tiny. Mr.. Phillips objected, and the resolu-
ton went over under the rules. Mr.. Ewing
called up his motion to reconsider the vote
of yesterday, recOmmitting TO the Committee
on Banking and Currency his bill to repeal
the third section of the Resumption act.
The opponents of the bill resorted to par
liamentary tactics to consume the morning
hour before the main question could be got
before the House, SO that the bill has now no
status in the House except during the morn
ing hour, when like tactics are available to
postpone action on it from day to day.
