iournand on the division the speaker declar-
ed the motion lost. Bland ihereupon demand
ed tellcrs, and recording TO the record this
morning the speaker replied: There is no
provision for tcllers.' There was no record
Of this fact made in the journal. aud this
morning Bland moved TO have the journal
amended accordingly. The speaker stated
he had made his reply in an tnterrogniiye
form. and the gentleman from Missouri
had seemingly acquieseed in il, The chair
was Informed such details were not inserted
in the journal. The chair submitted
BANDS motion 10 amend the Journal, and
on the division declared the motion lost by
vote of ss to 20. Bland demanded tellers.
The speaker inquired whether the
gentleman from Missouri had discovered
anv ground why iellers should be
appointed. The chair last night had
suggested that no would like 10 have
his attention called 10 any pro-
vision regarding tellefs, Bland said
that he had demanded tellers under
the general practice of the house. The
speaker declined 10 entertain the demand
for telleTs. Bland demanded the yeos and
nays, but almost NJ the same moment mp
pealed from the decision of the chair. The
speaker said the appeal came rather late,
but be would entertain il. long and
heated debate then began. which lasted for
three hours. Mills. ~ Texas. BrecSen-
ridge Of Arkansas, Blount of Georgia, Nc
Millln, Of Tennessee and others. argued
that vote by teller- WAS az much n part Of

which the house could correct decision of
the speaker, and if the house did not have
the night tU this vote. tie speaker became
mere car. When n speaker refused 10 per
init the house 10 have tellrrs 10 verify his
count. he simply refused 10 allow the house
20 SAY whether his decision night or wrong
should stand. Cannon. Illinois, Bayne,
Pennsylvania. and Others upheld the chair.
Carlisle inquired what redress u member
had against n wrong count by the speaker
If he could not have the yeas and nays. The
house, in the absence oi conventional rules
established 10y itself. was to be governed by
general parliamentary Inv rs modified by
rules heretofore prevailing.
In submitting the appeal 10 the house,
the speaker said the chair has always been
unable 10 see how II was possible for house
which has passed out Of existence to bind
by rules and regulations the house which
was to come into existence in the future.
Recent decisions 10y the speaker hsd been TO
the effect that the rules OF the Inst house
did not become the rules of the present
house directly. The chair is unable 10 see
how they can become the rules of tho pres
ent house indirectly. The very fact that
they have been made as rules shows clearly
the necessity OF the special enactment III
they became bl indirection the rules of the
house, II would not become necessary to re-
enact. The suggestion which had been made
