DOVER, Jan. 1S.-The first parliament
tary battle Of the session occurred in the
House just before adjustment last even
Ing. Yesterday morning the committee
on rules made its report and it was
adopted. One of the rules provided that
all private acts should be printed at the
expense of the person or persons inter-
ested in them. During recess the SEN
ate was sounded and the friends of the
rule were so sanguine that they proposed
putting a Joint resolution through the
House and getting the Senate TO concur
in It.
Captain Dasey, of Sussex county,
knocked this scheme in the head this
evening by moving that the vote by
which the report Of the committee was
adopted be reconsidered.
Representative Salisbury asked him to
state his objections.
The Sussex county man stated that he
considered it a useless expense ana hard
ship upon the fathers of the bills
Representative Cooch seconded him in
his argument and contended that it was
within the province of the House to
order a particular bill printed at any
time il desired
Speaker Whiteman explained that the
object of the rule was to prevent riders
and other pernicious methods futile as
each member would have a copy of the
bill to follow when IL went on its final
reading Further than that, he had
spoken to several of the Senators and
they were 80 favorably impressed that
they had requested the House to send
over a joint resolution embodying the
principles enunciated in the rule.
Mr.. Salisbury moved that Captain
Dasey's motion be laid upon the table.
When he was defeated in this he called
for the ayes and nays on the original
motion. The vote stood IL ayes, 9 nays,
2 absent.
Mr.. Cooch then moved that the report
of the committee be laid upon the table
for future consideration. His motion
was carried and both he and Captain
Dasey are happy.
