Van Wyck dec.ared that the 42d Congress could adopt its own rules, and that the present Congress found j the existing rules necessary to su honest legislation. Eldridge thanked God that there were some honest men on the Republican Republi-can siie of the House. Mr. Gajfieid denied that it was his purpose to propose a rale to place the minority in the power of the maiority ; and finally, amid much uproar, the question was taken on suspending the rules and adopting the amendment, when it was negatived by a vote of 64 to 62, not two-thirds voting in the affirmative. af-firmative. Another scene occurred when Clark, of Kansas, made an attempt to get up a land grab bill, which was denounced by McXeely and Kandall as a State steal ; the chajge being resented -by C.ark, who pronounced it false. I.i leeling went so far that those who were active movers in the affair snoot tneir fcu at each other, but didu't come to blows.

Finally, Fin-ally, at half-past four o'el-ick. the omnibus om-nibus bid came over from the Senate with an extraordinary batch, of amendments amend-ments tacked to it, which were read. Dawes stated these appropriations. He had looked over the Senate amendments, amend-ments, and although there were nany things in them which they couid not approve, he thought the best thini: the House could do was to concur in .them all, rather than send them to a conference committee. He therefore moved to concur in ail the Senate amendments. Lawrence endorsed the statement of Dawes, and said that the bill as it came from ihe Senate was an improvement on the original bill from the House. Tho amendments were concurred in, and the Hout-e at 5.20 a.m. took a rece.-s till 10 o'clock a.m, having first resolved that no bu-ines; should be transacted during the rest of the session, except to receive messages mes-sages from the President and Senate, to enroll bills, and in reference to the general appropriation bills. The House reconvened at 10 o'clock a.m., and the Speaker presented several sev-eral executive communications, ammg others a message from the President vetoing the appropriation bill, and which was referred to the committee on claims.

After about five minutes spent in the presentation of executive messages, the House took a further recess till 11 o'clock,- while the members gathered in groups, holding noisy conversations over the scenes of the night session. Amid preparations for the opening of the Forty-Second Congress, aud with the galleries moderately filled up with spectators, the House resumed its session at 11 a.m. The report of the committee on military mil-itary affairs, on the investigation into the management of the national asylum, was laid on the table without action. Unanimous consent being a.-ked for several propositions of various kinds, Randall objected, and gave notice that he would object to everything. Business, Busi-ness, therefore, came to a stand still, and the buzz of conversation became general in the hall and galleries. At this time there was not a vacant scat in the galleries. Starkweather, from the conference committee on tho bill to abolish tho office of admiral and vice-admiral, reported, re-ported, that the committee had not been able to agree. Scofield moved that the House recede from its disagreement and let the bill become a law, so that the two offices shall terminate as soon as vacancies occur. Pending the discussion, at 11. 40, a committee of the House was ordered to meet a like committee on the part President and inform hiiu that if lie bad no further communication to make Congress was ready to adjourn. The report on the admiral bill was resumed, aud on a vote, by tellers, on Scolkld's motion to recede, there were in favor 110 to 42 acaiust the effect of which would have been to discuss the bill,' but as it then wanted five minutes of the hour of adjournment the bill was defeated by the minority demanding the yeas and nays. During the call Garfield announced that the committee appuintcd lor that purpose had wa'ted on the President and wore authorized to inform Congress Con-gress that he had no further coimnu-nicatiou coimnu-nicatiou to make to it. The call of roll was resumed, but before its 'e-m;,ia. tion tho hour of -0I1 arrivc'j, wacn thctw . wis interrupted by the fall of the Speaker's travel. Suddenly th" clamor of the House was hu-hej into perfect stillness, when the Spenk'T. address'ni: the House in appropriate terms, declared it ad journed. |
