and 1t was an in ustice 10 the attaches
! who did work faithfully to abolish the

of the attaches did was TO answer at roll
call and draw their pay.
The previous question was called for
and the resolution was lost.
By Dixon-That those employed in the
| engrossing- room be excused from roll
| call. Laid over one day.
Mccarthy offered resolution that the
! Chaplain, Rev. c. Summers, be required
to answer at roll-call, but the Speaker

Hatflein offered resolution that the
| Committee on Rules be instructed to
| bring in a rule that hereafter, if anv
member brings up the matter of the en-
| ployment or discharge of attaches as
| whole or class, or any considerable
| number thereof, such member be docked
