Ordered, That the Clerk request the concurrence of the Senate therein.

The bill of the House No. 127, just reported with an amendment, having been taken up, and the Speaker having stated the question to be on agreeing to the said amendment,

Mr. Leake proposed to debate the same.

The Speaker (Mr. Phelps in the chair) decided that no debate was in order, inasmuch as the House, by unanimous consent, had ordered the main question to be put on all the bills reported from the Committee of the Whole.

From this decision of the Chair Mr. Leake appealed, on the ground that it was not competent for the House, even by unanimous

consent, to order the main question upon any other than the bill then before the House.

And the question being put, Shall the decision of the Chair stand as the judgment of the House?

It was decided in the affirmative.

So the decision of the Chair was sustained.

The question was then put, Will the House agree to the said amendment?

And it was decided in the affirmative.

Ordered, That the bill be engrossed and read a third time.

Being engrossed, it was accordingly read the third time and passed. The title of the said bill having been amended so as to read "A bill for the relief of O. F. D. Fairbanks, Frederick Dodge, and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company," the said title as amended was agreed to. Mr. John B. Clark moved that the vote by which the said bill was passed be reconsidered, and also moved that the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table; which latter motion was agreed to.

Ordered, That the Clerk request the concurrence of the Senate in

the said bill.

The amendment reported to the bill of the Senate No. 117 was then read and agreed to.

Ordered, That the said bill be read a third time.

It was accordingly read the third time and passed.

Ordered, That the Clerk request the concurrence of the Senate in the amendment of the House to the said bill.

Mr. Maynard, by unanimous consent, moved that the several votes upon the bills just reported from the Committee of the Whole be reconsidered, and also moved that the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table; which latter motion was agreed to.

On motion of Mr. Burnett, by unanimous consent, the bill of the House (H. R. 520) directing the conveyance of a lot of ground for the use of the public schools of the city of Washington, with the amendment of the Senate thereto, was taken from the Speaker's table, and the said amendment agreed to.

Mr. Kunkel moved, at 4 o'clock and 10 minutes p. m., that the House adjourn; which motion was disagreed to.

On motion of Mr. Sherman, the House resolved itself into the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union; and after

some time spent therein, the Speaker resumed the chair, and Mr. Bingham reported that the committee having, according to order, had the state of the Union generally under consideration, and particularly the bill of the House (H. R. 564) making appropriations for the service of the Post Office Department during the year ending June 30, 1861, had come to no resolution thereon.
