ABUNDANT BUSINESS BEFORE THE HOUSE.
..r.LL.

lBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNEl
WAsniNGToN, Dec 19.-The committees of the
House of Representatives, when organized, Will ind
themselves Immediately confronted by about 900
bills and JOINT resolutions which have been offered
and referred during the past week. Should not
another bill be brought forward at this session the
committees would still have enough business on
hand to occnpy them fully from this time until next
August. Nearly all of to-day was consumed in
reading the titles of bills and resolutions offered ul-
der the call OF States.
Mr. Haskell of Kansas called mp his resolution re-
specting the rules of the House. aud tins was the
signal for an attempt by Mr., Springer to air his
knowledge of parliamentary law at the expense OF
the new Speaker. Mr.. Springer checrfully began
the contest questions OF order, and he shortly a-
peared willing to retire from the encounter after
being defeated at every point. Mr.. Haskofs resou-
tion adopted.
The consideration of the Utah election case was
postponed until January 10, 1882. When it is
taken up there will undoubtedly be lively and eX-
haustive debate. Mr.. Kasson, OF Iowa, offered a
resolution for the appointment of n select commit
tee the subject of an interoceanc ship canal, ana
Mr.. Randall vigorously opposed it, resortng to fill
clustering TO defeat it, The House was thin ; and
as the resolution could not be adopted without a
two-thirls vote, It was lost for want of quorum,
many Democratic members leaving the hall or re-
fusng to vote The resolution was then withdrawn
and referred to the Committee on Rules.
The attitude of Mr. Randall toward this resolution
to-day shows that he proposes to play the " econ
omy dodge during tins for the purpose OF
making party capital. In the last Congress, the
House having Democratic majority and Mr.. Ran
dali being Speaker, resolution proposing the ap-
pointment of a committee exactly like that pro-
vided for by MIR. Kasson's resolution of
to-day was adoprcd by unanimous consent. In op-
posing similar committee to-day MIR. Randall SAID
that the former had reported IN favor oi prop
osition looking 10 an expenditure by the Govern
ment of $50, 600 900 in aid Of nerOccanlc transit
and that he intended 10 oppose by all means IN his
power every proposition TO increase the public eN-
penditures. Mr.flolman. of Indiana, was ohicious.
although not very efficient, in his assistance to Sr
Randall TO day.

THE NO RENT MOVEMENT.

LONDON, Dec 10.-The Dublin correspondent of
The Times says: The organization against the pay
ment of rents is becoming still more formidable. 1t
is regarded as much of a crime to 90 into the Land
Court as to pay rent. Lists of persons who have
served notices and Of those suspected of
paving rents are posted at the chapes and at other
places where they are likely TO he seen. and al
though the police taer them down they are soon
posted again.
The Commissioners under the Land act to-day de-
ended That notice 10 fix rent ii served only an
agents clerk will be deemed suiiicientservice. This
decision, against which appeal will be allowed is
20 govern $4,000 cases.
Il is stated that prison especially designed for
women is in course of preparation for the reception
OF members Of tho Ladies' Land League, and that
the arrest OF several prominent members Of the Dub
lin branch of that organization is expected.
Considerable dissatisfaction is felt among the
Irish Constabulary at the new movement of the
Government in recruiting their forces from the
militia and soldiers whose terms of service have
pired. So strong is the feeling that the men will
refuse duty with the new recruits and a general
strike is apprehcnded.
Owing to the disturbed state of Ireland, Lords
Donoughmore and Inchlquin will quit their resi-
deuces.
