House of Representative.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Mr. Southland stated
the committee on the state of the law relating
to the election of President had last session re-
ported constitutional amendment in regard
thereto. It was evident no action would be
taken on it this session. and leave was granted
the gentlemen to print any remarks they might
desire to make in relation to the amendment.
GEN. SHIELDS.
Mr.. Bragg, from the committee on military
affairs, reported a bill authorizing the Presi-
dent to appoint James Shields, Of Missouri, as
brigadier general on the retired list, such ap-
pointmeat to be in lieu of the pension which
ne now receives.
Mr.. White rose toa point of order, and al
though appealed to to withdraw his point by
Messrs. Bragg, Franklin and Butler he refused
to do so. Great confusion was caused by
Franklin coming over to the Republican side
of the hall and charging the Republicans with
not having been in earnest last year in their
efforts for the appointment of Gen. Shields as
doorkeeper.
To this Mr.. Whyte replied the Democrats
were welcome to make all the party capital they
wanted out of his action. He was willing to
take all the responsibility that member of
Congress should take for his doing his duty.
The confusion was SO great that Mr.. Bridges
inquired whether this was town meeting or
the House Of Representatives.
Elnally the Speaker sustained the point of
order, and the bill was referred to the commit
tee of the whole. The House then went into
committee of the whole, Mr.. Mills in the chair,
on the private calendar. An hour and hall
was consuEfed in discussion of private bill
authorizing the court of claims to reopen and
review a former decision Of that court in favo,

at once, returning in half hour or SO, only
