The question then recurring on the motion to reconsider, the same was agreed to.

The question then recurring on the motion to recommit the said bill to the Committee on Banking and Currency;

When

Mr. Conger demanded the regular order;
When

The Speaker announced the expiration of the morning hour.

Mr. Potter, as a question of privilege, submitted the following resolution, viz:

Resolved, That when the House adjourns to-morrow it adjourn to meet

upon Tuesday next, and that when it then meets no business shall be in order but a motion to then adjourn to the following Thursday.

Mr. Burchard made the point of order that the latter portion of the resolution required unanimous consent for its present consideration. The Speaker sustained the point of order, and Mr. Potter thereupon modified the resolution to read as follows, viz:

Resolved, That when the House adjourns to-morrow it adjourn to meet on Tuesday next.

Debate arising,

Mr. Pridemore made the point of order that the resolution was not debatable.

The Speaker sustained the point of order.

The question then being on the adoption of the resolution, the same was rejected.

Mr. Ellsworth,at 2 o'clock and 15 minutes p. m., moved that the House adjourn; which motion was not agreed to.

Mr. Springer made the point of order, that unless a motion be made. to proceed to the regular order, the question before the House was the bill of the House (H. R. 805) reported from the Committee on Banking and Currency by Mr. Ewing.

The Speaker overruled the point of order, on the ground that the morning hour was limited to sixty minutes, and that the bill named had taken its place in the morning hour and could not be taken out except by unanimous consent.

Mr. Luttrell, at 2 o'clock and 20 minutes p. m., moved that the House adjourn; which motion was not agreed to.

By Mr. Hardenbergh:

Resolved, That a committee of three members of the House be appointed by the Speaker to examine into and report upon the propriety of a railing for the protection of the outer circle of seats.

Mr. Hardenbergh moved to reconsider the vote last taken, and also moved that the motion to reconsider be laid on the table; which latter motion was agreed to.

By unanimous consent, resolutions were submitted, read, and referred as follows, viz:

By Mr. Stenger:

Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives be authorized to pay to V. H. McCormick, special messenger and watchman for the Committee on Freedman's Savings and Trust Company of the last Congress, the sum of $723.60, the amount due to him for services ren

dered during the Forty-fourth Congress and still unpaid, out of the contingent fund of the House of Representatives;
