Mr.. F. Wood moved that the house go
into q committee on the funding bill,
and that all general debate cease in enc
hour.
Pending which Robson, of New Jer
sey, rose TO a question of privile &c, and
offered the following resolution:
ResolUed, That the two houses will as
semble in the chamber of the house oil
representatives on the I'd "Wednesday IN
February, 1881, at 12 O'Clock, and the
president of the senate shall be presld-
ing officer, that two persons shall be ap-
pointed tellers on the part of the senate
and two on the part of the house of rep
resentatiyes to make list of the votes

ton presented question of privilege,
whereupon Mr.. Fernando Wood raised
a question of consideration.
Mr.. Robson thought congress would
enjoy its holidays better after having
He desired to be heard on question OF
consideration.
The speaker-That is debatable.
Notwithstanding this statement and
cries of 'sordeI'' from the Democratic
tide, Mr.. Robson declared that this was
the resolution under which every presi-
dent was counted in up TO the time of
Abraham Lincoln.
Mr.. Townsend, of Illinois-Does the
gentleman want to antagoDiZe the fund
ing bill?
Mr. Robeson-I desire to antsgonize
every bill until my high constitutional
duty is discharged.
A vote was then taken on the question
of consideration.
Mr. Robson remarked that the coun-
try now knew which side of the house
was opposed to going on with the cleo
toral vote bill.
By vote of yeas 81, and nays 90 the
house refused to consider Robeson's res
olutiOn. This was strict party vote,
the Republicans voting in the affirma-
tive and the Democrats in the negative.
The Greertaclzers. with the exception Of
Ladd, of Maine, voted with the Repub-
licans. The house sooR afterwards went
into committee ofthe whole on the fund
ing bill, all attempts made By f. Wood
TO limit debate being voted down amid
n good deal of confusion.
In the committee an exciting opposi
ton was manifested 10 the funding bill.
Weaver, Bland and Mills spoke strongly
in opposition to considering the bill be-
fore the holidays, and stated that they
would oppose its passage by every parli-
amentary law.
