propositions to amend by StFlklHs
out and inserting dates, numbers and
sums, are not divisible; but all prop
ositions, otherwise Invisible, shall be
divided at the request of any ten men,
bers. A motion to strike out being lost
shall neither preclude amendments, nor
a motion to strike out and insert"
Mr.. NEWBERT: Mr.. Speaker and
gentleman, 1 wish to say in regard to
the rule just read by the Chair that it
says 'all propositions otherwise divis-
ible"; and I submit that there is no log
ical division of this order such as the
gentleman from Phillips suggests; it is
not Invisible within the meaning of the
rule, and | oppose the motion of the
gentleman from Phillips 1t is in the
nature of a dilatory motion. We have
just voted here at length upon a name
submitted by himself as an amendment,
and / think we have been entirely fair
to the gentleman from Phillips. I OPP
pose the motion and claim this is not
within the rule.
The SPEAKER: The gentleman from
Augusta Mr.. Newbert, as the Chair I'M
derstands it, makes the point of order
that the rule is not applicable to this
question. The Chair rules however that
this question embracing, as amended,
four cases or four individuals, may be
and is Invisible so that it may be voted
upon separately as to each one; and
the Chair overrules the point Of order
made by the gentleman from Augusta.
Mr.. NEWBERT: | understand the
Chair has ruled, and may it please the
Chair, 1 take an appeal from the ruling
of the Chair
The SPEAKER: The gentleman
from Augusta appeals from the ruling
of the Chair The Chair having ruled
that this question is divisible and sus-
ceptible of being voted upon separately,
the question now on the appeal is, shall
the ruling of the Chair stand? Those
in favor of the ruling of the Chair
standing as the judgment of the House
will say yes
