The proceedings in tbe National House of ItcpresentutiveB on the 19th of February, were unusually interesting, when the report of the Committee on Territories was presented by Mr. MeKee. The importance of the Bill which vitally iiffects the interests of the people of Utah, is offered as a jplea for publishing a full report of the debate which was preliminary to its reference to the Committee of the Whole. It will be seen that the Bill is now taken out of the bandjs of the Territorial Committee, and that it is vhtually before the house for its consideration. It cannot be amended while before the Committee of the whole, and no action can bo taken upon it, until it shall be remanded to the House in regular session for decision. The merits of the Bill will be discussed iu Committee of the whole which changes the character of a deliberative assembly into that of n mass meetiug, when members are bound to no particular subject for SB; expression of their views. A vote may not be reached until late in the session, and perhaps not at all, unless Mr. McKee should prove to be a better tactician than we take hiui to be. The tcle graph failed to announce the important fact, that the minority of the on Territorial threugh ; Committee Judge Crouoae, of Nebraska had presented a report which was offered substitute for the majority report. The course of the House on as a .the substitute, which take precedence of the majority BUI, will be considered a test of the final action of that body upon the subject. Mr. MoKee, fjom tbe Commiite on th Territories, reported back the bill (11. R. No. z204). eoucerning tbe execution of laws in the Territory of Utah, and for other purposes. The Clerk proceeded to read the bill, bat was interrupted by Mr. G.- - P. Hoar, who said: I desire to make a point of or.er en this bill. The bill is very longl and perhaps it may sare time to make the point new, though I will reserve it until the close of the reading, if the Chair deems that course best. The Speaker. What point does the gentleman wake? Mr- - G. F. Hoar. The rule adopted by the House at the present session provides that Bills making appropriations of meney or property, or requiring such appropriations to be made, shall be first discussed in Committee of the Whole. Now, this bill provides for a large number of new offices-- . For instanoe, in tne first section it provides for the appointment of deputy marshals, and in the third section for the appointment of assistant district attorneys. It prescribes the duties of these new officers, nd that "the same foes and emoluments M the district attorney would be entitled to for the same service shall be allowed for tbe (tervicis of assistant district atsecThen the twenty-thir- d torneys tion provides for the appointment of oih-- r new officers of the United States, te.wit, judges and clerks of election. All these provisions peremptorily require an appropriat on of money from tbe Treasury of the United Slates. : Mr.' McKee.

Mr. G. F. Hoar.
