cd his contention by the remarks Of Presi-
dent Garfield and others) that when any
parliamentary body attempted to amend
its rules II must proceed to do so IN accord
ance with rules already existing. At the
conclusion of Mr.. Carlisle's remarks the
vice president overruled the point Of order
made by Mr.. Harris. The chair, he said,
did not find any rule bearing on the ques-
tion of approving any other journal than
that Of the preceding day.
The chair had no private consistency or
desire to do otherwise than TO administer
the rules of the senate as he understood
them. Mr.. Harris appealed from the de-
cision and the appeal was lost-yeas, 30
nays, 35 Messrs. Stewart, Teller and
Wolcott, Republicans, voted with the
Democrats Mr.. ingalls, was paired against

ton then recurred on the consideration Of
the cloture rule resolution and Mr. Cor
man demanded that it be laid on the table.

result was--yeas, 25 nays, 35. Messrs. Stew

The resolution was then laid before thu
senate and was read. Mr.. Harris asked
what had become Of his point of orde
made on Tuesday last to the effect tina
the notice to amend the rules was no
sufficiently specific The vice president
said it was his opinion that the point Of
order came too late, but he subsequently
overruled the point OF order on the ground
that the notice was sufficiently explicit,
| Mr. Faulkner appealed from decision and
Mr. Harris began to argue the appeal. he
was interrupted by point Of order by
| Mr. Blair that the appeal was not debate
able. The vice president ruled that it wal
debateable and the ruling was applaudeC

speech Mr.. Cockerell read in full Mr.

that he would move to have il printed a
a public document, with a wide margin
to enable its being framed and hung al
in parlors and libraries for the education
Of the young,
Some of the leading points in the articl
Mr.. Cockrell read more than once and will
much emphasis, particularly the sentenc
that the previous question and every de
vice to cut off debate was unknown to th
senate proceedings. Mr. Hoar said tina
on Aug 10 last he had introduced in th
senate a rule, the same in substance a
that now pending Early in Noyembe
last he had read the proofs Of the articl
which he had written with that rule befor
him, and had examined the rule to Sc
whether there was any inconsistency in th
two statements. IL did not seem to hin
that there was any such inconsistency
(Mocking laughter on the Democratic side
and with the remark from one Democrat
senator, "Oh, give us rest.'9
Like the Rebel Congress"
In the course Of his speech Mr.. Hoa
said that "the attempt co defeat the viii
Of the people, expressed through congress
by the process Of long debate and takinI
up time, as we have seen IL at this YER
session, is as much a conspiracy agains
the constitution and against the nationa
authority as was the rebel congress tha
sat in Richmond"
