agreed to providing for holiday recess

day, 5th proximo.
The membership of the committee on
ways and means was increased from thir-
teen to fifteen, on account Of the large
increase in the membership of the house
The committee on quadri centennial had
been increased from nine to eleven, and a
similar increase had been made in the
committee on immigration. The commit
tee on Indian depreciation claims had been
abolished fer the reason that at the last
congress a law had been pass submitting
these claims to the courts. The name of
