proviso prohibiting any of the appropria-
ton being applied for pay, transportation
or subsistence of troops to be employed In
support of the claim of either Nichols or
Packard, or In support of the rival legisla-
lures in Louisiana, and prohibits the en-
ployment of the army in support of the
| claims of any state governments until duly
recognized by congress. Ordered printed.
On motion of Mr.. Harmon of Indiana
the senate amendments to the postofllce
appropriation bill were non-concurred in,
and a conference committee was ordered
The same action was taken in regard to the
deficiency, the naval and the legislative
appropriation bills.
The speaker appointed as conference
committee on the postoffice appropriation
bill, Messrs. Holman, Blount and Foster.

The speaker laid before the house com.
munication from Justice Clifford inform.
ing the house that the electoral commits
sion had decided the Oregon case, aud hac
transmitted the decision to the president oil
the senate.
Mr. McMahon of Ohio offered resolu.
ton directing the clerk to notify the sen.
ate that the house would be ready at one
o'clock to receive that body for the pur
pose of continuing the electoral count.
Mr.. Wilson of Iowa raised the point OF
order that nothing was IN order but reso
luton to notify that the house wal
now ready to receive that body.
He therefore, offered that resolu
ton. He wished to call attention tc
the fact that the very moment the commits
sion reported that it had come to decision
the hall of the house was as much at tht
disposal Of the senate as of the house. The
act arranged for the FIRST meeting in the
hall Of the house, but it was no greater
violation of the spirit of the act that thu
senate should ask the house to meet 1t il
the senate chamber, than that the house
should shut its doors and prevent the cen
ate from coming into its hall.

resolution was in order, but that Mr.. Viii
sons resolution could be offered as a sub
stitute. 1t was 30 offered and was agreed
to yeas l45, nays 81.
