CARsON,s PUBLIC BUILDING.
Representative Cassidy Put
the Bill Throukh-Just as Prom.

ised ON h "sfump'' Last Fau.
Csrson's people and press we're not grs-
cious to Mr.. Cassidy last Fall, but he has
nevertheless discharged his duty faith
fully to them. The telegraph has already
announced the passage Of the bill 10 erect
a one hundred thousand dollar building
at Carson. Although there were seventy
hve OF these bills pending under great
pressure, some of them representing the
great cities Of the Union, little Carson was
the first to get a hearing and favorable
action. Mr.. Cassidy had struggled hard
TO get the bill through at the last session.
As a matter OF fact he did pass it, but the
point was made that no quorum had
voted, and thus the bill was tied up until
the present session. 1t appears that under
the rules of the House, it is not in order
to suspend the rules and pass a bill of this
nature except on the first Monday in each
month. 1t will be remembered how Mr..
Cassidy made a lightning trip across the
continent to be present at the opening of
Congress on the first Monday in Deem
Der, thinking this Carson bill would come
up on that day. but it seems that the day
was devoted to reading the Presidents
message and matters of that kind, The
first Monday in January (5tn inst.) was,
therefore, the first time in the present
session that the order for suspending the
rules was reached. Mr.. Cassidy claimed that
the Carson bill was the unfinished business
coming over from the last session, and
Speaker Carlisle held with him. So Mr..
Cassidy was right in all he said and prom
ised on the stump last Fall, his %maligners

knew how to discharge the duties OF q
TO do his whole duty by his State and con-
stituents. We find in the Congressional
Record of Jan. 6 the following proceedings
had the day previous. with reference to
the public building at Carson:
Mr.. Cassidy understand that we have
now reached the order Of motions to sus-
pend the rules, and / desire TO call up
under that order the unfinished business
coming over from the last session. At the
time of the adjournment Of the last session
a senate bill providing for the erection Of
a public building at Carson City, New, was
pending on a motion to suspend the rules
and pass the bill. | inquire whether that
is not the order OF business at this time,
this being the first day this session for in

The Speaker-Wss the bill presented to
the House and read, and had the House

Mr.. Cassidy-We had voted upon it; and

We were Attemptingsto develop a quorum

Mr.. C~assidy-The demand for q second

along as to vote upon the bill. The point
| having been made that no quorum had

The Speaker-The question then is upon
the motion made by the gentleman from
| Neyada mr.. Cassidy just before the adj
journment Of the House in July last, TO
suspend the rules and pass the bill.
MIR. Hiscock-Mr. Speaker, what order
| Of business is it that comes up now?
The speaker-Suspension of the rules.
Mr.. Hiseock-I believe the first business
Of tina, character now in order is the
motion made by me on the last day when

House. That motion is still pending.
The Speaker-The gentleman from New
York MIR. Hiscock) on the first Monday
10 July, the last day of the last session for
individual motions to suspend the rules,
was recognized by the Chair, rose in his
place, and stated that he moved to suspend
The rules and pass some bill which he sent
10 the Clerks desk. 1t was not read, but
a motion was Immediately made to ad-
journ, which was adopted by the House.
| Therefore under the rules of the House
that motion was not yet in possession Of
the House for consideration. Later in the
the session, when the present occupant of
the chair was absent, the then occupant of
the chair recognized the gentleman
from Nevada (Mr. Cassidy, who
moved to suspend the rules, as Is
shown by the official record, and pass a
certain bill which was read, and upon
which the vote was attempted to be taken.
So the House was in possession OF thai bill,
and the Chair thinks it is obliged to COM
plete the consideration Of that motion,
nnder the circumstances, before going TO
any other business.
Mr. Hiscock-Am l to understand that
nv motion comes in nextp
The Spesker-The Chair had recognized
the gentleman from New York and will
recognize him next, as the gentleman had
the floor. (Cries of Regular orderl')
