rscapituiasien. He thought IL was not for the

had denied rscapitulation requests when made

the duty OF members to be present and vindi
cate their own right to vote.

Cries OF Announce the vote.' Irregular
order" "Hh Ohr' &c. came from all parts of
the House. The sergeant-at-arms was ordered
to take the mace ana restore order. When order
had finally been restored the question Of count
ing MIR. Donovan's vote WIS taken up. After
discussion the Speaker said under the rules he
could not take Mr.. DOnovan's name of the roll.

most important matter. as Mr.. DonOvan's
vote might change the result on this bill.
He was told that it would not effect the re-
suit and the question was not pressed. The
vote was then announced as follows: Yeas. las:
NAYS, I4S, and the House refused to lay the bill
on tine table. After this followed dilatory mo-
