rba Matter Lays over.
m,sHrNGroy. Aug. 1.-The Senate met
- IN o'clock this morning aud the roll call
.hovvad forty-seven senators in attendance
rrho io,,rnal of Yesterday having been read ,
r. T5r,unds moved to amend and correct
.ho io,,rnal bv making it state the names of
+ba thirty-two senators present yesterday
when the roll was first called.
~ cbornan asked whether that had
been the custom heretofore.
The presiding officer (Mr. Ingalls, replied
that it had not been.
M Sberman doubted very much that a
change ought to be made. If it were made
he would insist on having it applied to all
calls of the Senate, of which there we're half
. dozan Yesterday. But such rule would
only cucumber the journal.
Mr.. Dawes said that he was not present
when the roll was called yesterday morn
ing but was in the capitol engaged in the
business Of the conference committee.
Whatever criticism justly attached to his
absence under these circumstances he was
willing to take.
WOULD BE UNJUST.
The matter was further discussed by
Messrs. Butler, Platt, Evarts. Wilson of
ToVa and Harris, all of whom expressed
onposition to the motion on the ground that
it would be manifestly unjust to senator's
who were absent on account Of sickness and
10 those who were paired, and that it should
not apply to the past, aud that it would be
contrary to the immemorial usage of the
Senate
Mr.. Edmunds defended the motion. He
said he had not supposed that it would
offend the sensibilities of any one.
Mr.. Dawes III sarcastic tone congratu-
lated the country that those senators who
had been so anxious to insist upon an early
meeting of the Senate had found a method
for useful employment of the time thus
gained.
Mr.. Edmunds' motion was rejected.
A CLOTURE RESOLUTION.
Mr.. Blair offered a resolution instructinp
the committee on rules to report within
four days rule for the operation of the
previous question, or some method of
limiting and closing debate in parlia-
mentary procedure of the Senate, and
asked for its immediate consideration.
Senator Blair, in speakidg Of his resolution,
said that he. believed it to be the opinion of
q majority Of the republican senator's that

rule by which debate might be controlled.
He would not admit. however,
that he was acting by direction
of the caucus. He was not, he said, the ST.
Peter Of that party, or that body, by whom
what was bound in the caucus should be
bound in the Senate, and what was loosed
in the caucus should be loosed in the Senate.
lie said that it was apparent that not one
OF the twenty important measures on
the calendar could be passed without the
change of the rules proposed in his resolu-
ton
Objection was made on the democratic
side, and the resolution went over till to-
morrow
The House Joint resolution to permit
