xLyI CONGRESS - FIRST SESSION.
House..

WAsHINoToS. March &c.
The House refused to dispense with the
morning hour.
Mr.. Robertson SAID that had he UNDER
stood a certain decision of the Speakers he
would have voted against Nr. McLane's
proposition yesterday. because he was not a
protectionist. Mr.. McLane asked by what
right does the gentleman give any signifi-
canoe to that vote. l. for one, repel and re-
pudiate any such significance.
The Speaker proceeded to call the commit
tees for reports of private nature.
The morning hour Was consumed on pri-
vate bills, and the House entered upon a long
discussion as to whether the two-tlfiris vote
was requisite to lay aside private business
and proceed TO consideration of public.
An inconsistency was discovered in the
rules. They provide in one place that it
shall need two-thirds vote to take up pub
lie business Friday. and in another that if
the majority refuse to go into committee
upon the private calendar it shall be compe-
tent for q majority to proceed to public busi-
ness.
Without determining the point. the House
went into committee of the whole on the
private calendar.
The first bill on the calendar. of which
there are about $50 in all, was one appropria-
ting 5000 for relief of Mr.. L. Madison
Day. on accoun, Of property in New Orleans
purchased by him from the United States
with defective title.
The bill WAS accompanied BY long report,
the reading of which consumed nearly two
hours. and was then followed by two strong
legal arguments which were listened to By
the House with unusual attention, one bv
Mr.. O'Conner Of South Carolina, in favor Of
the bill and one by Mr.. Hammond Of Ga,
in opposition.
The committee rose without disposing Vi
the bill and the House adjourned until to-
morrow.
