There was far from a quorum prcsc
when the House was called to order this
morning., the attendance was larger than
1t had been for the past two days. The
committee were called for reports. but
without result. Talbert of South Caro-
Ina asked unanimous consent for the
immediate consideration of q resolution
rcclLlng that the House was adjournlug
from day TO day without accomplishing
auy business, and that the people are
daily expecting something to be done tor
their relief; aud instructing the Commit
tee on Banking and Currency to report
at the earliest possible day the Nc
l.aurin bill, requiring the issue of $l25
OOO,0OO OF Treasury notes to be distrl
buted ior the relief of the people Bro

Ii chards0n OF Tennessee, from the Com
mlltce on Printing, reported the bill rela

Then Richardson made the point tina
the report was privileged one and en-
tilted TO consideration, but the Speaker
ruled against him and the bill was
placed on the calendar of the committee
OF the whole. The perfunctory duty of
calling the committees in the second
morning hour was performed, and Rich.

made his presence felt by raising point
OF no quorum, and thus ncccssilatlng the
call OF the Yeas and nays. The motion
was agreed lo-ycas 1853, nays 26 and
the House went into committee. Tho
lirst and formal reading of the bill occu-
pied almost an hour and a half, as the
Heading Clerks relieved each other the
attendance of the members became
gradually less and less until when the
reading was concluded there was not
more than twenty-five members III the
