| debates are not the attraction they once
Were in THE halls of Congress. When
| Speaker Reed called the House to order
today at ten o'clock, in accordance with
the terms of the special order agreed to
hast week, much less than half of the
members wene In their seats and only a
spuinkling of visitors were to be seen i'm
| the galleries.
The opening prayer was made by the
Rev. A. Rogers, d. D., of this city, who
asked that the work of this session of
| Congress might be productive of great
good to the people of the country
The journal of Saturdays proceedings
was read and approved. Speaker Reed
said =" Pursuant to the order adopted, the
| House will now resolve itself into the
Committee of THE Whole for the consid-
Grafton of the tariff bill No. 379 And
the Chair will appoint the gentleman from
New York, Mr.. Sherman. chairman of the
Connalhtee''
MIR. Sherman took the chair, and direct
ed the clerk to read the bill in extenso,
which occupied two hours, reducing by
that much the period for debate.
The reading of the bill occupied two
hours and a quarter; and if the Clerk had
attempted to perform his task literally,
and had not skipped whole paragraphs
| and sometimes whole pages at once, he
would not have got to the end even at
the most rapid rate of reading in twice
the length of time actually occupied. The
printed bill covers 1853 pages. During the
reading the galleries filled up, but were
at no time crowded.
