WAsHISGIoN Feb. Go Speaker Randall raised the
question Yesterday rs 10 what constitutes quorum
whether majority of all the members actually
chosen. or a majority of the members now belonging
to the House. Two seats in the House are now
vacant those of Schcicher, of Texas, and Williams,
Of Michigan.
In connection with this subject the Speaker
had the Clerk read decision made By Speaker
Grow in the first session of the XXXYIIth Congress
on point Of order submitted by Mr. Nalandigham.
IT, az surmsed Speaker Randall proposes, in case
party exigency demands II. to rule that majority
of a membership Of 291 instead OF 293 constitutes
quorum, il is difficult to understand what use he
intends TO make Of the precedent he quoted. II
does not seem to have any bearing on the present
case unless II Is against the ruling which the Demo-
Gratis evidently expect him to make.
There were / So members elected to the House Of
Representatives of tue XXXVIIth Congress, and
Nir Grow, in his decision, held that 92, a ma
jority Of these, were required to constitute a
quorum. Some of the members elected TO that
House had not been sworn IN az that time July ~,
1861. and Mr. NallandIngham held that a majority
Of the members actually sworn IN constituted i
quorum. The Speaker said: The Chair has held
in this case that those chosen constitute
the House. as they have been returned to the
Clerk Mr. Nlllandlnelom replied: Tho
Chair has no knowledge Of any member unless
he appears here. That question may become
material 10y and by, and save the point To this
the Speaker responded: $50 far as that point is
Concerned the Chair withhclds its decision as 70
whether the House consists Of those IN or OF
those known 10 have been elected, bat the hair
j. clear iu his own mind that majority Ot those
chosen constitutes a quorum"
No one disputes that 293 members we're chosen
10 the XLNth Congress, and took their seats that
body: and If Speaker Randall decides 10 be
governed by the decision Of Sneaker Grow, II Il
difficult to see how he can rule that a quorum con-
sists OF less than ~ mcmbcrs.

made some inquiries respectin. the meaning # the

lacked courtesy, but he reserved the worst assault
on GOOD manners for NJ. CoDger, of Michigan.
