scented the resolution of the MARYLAND Legs-

to the last election for President, and asked
its reference to the judiciary Committee.
Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, objected to the recep-
ton Of the resolutions. That question had
been settled by both houses of Congress. and
ne raised the question of consideration.
The Speaker said that this was question
OF reference. Did he understand the gentle

object was TO raise the question Of the recep-

reference to any committee, for to refer 1t
was to put 1t in the line Of proceedings in
which It would have to come up for consider
Mr.. Cox, of New York, had read the rule in
relation to the call OF the States on Monday
which provided that bills and joint resol,'-

that under that rule the question Of consid

Anybody might raise that question.
The Speaker-Under what rule?
Mr.. Stephens-Under general parliament
tary law; but i'm this case hope the gen

paper came from sovereign State and let it
go TO the committee.
Mr.. Cox of New York, argued that 1t must
go to the committee.
Mr. Sampson, of Iowa, argued that this
came in just as bill, and the question of
consideration could be raised.
After considerable argument pro and con. as
to the question Of consideration, at 2 o'clock
Mr. Hendee demanded the regular order.
The Speaker said that the District OF Co
lumbia Committee was entitled to the floor.
The above question was. therefore, undis-

The Speaker ruling that the District OF Co
