A message from the Senate, by Mr. Forney, their Secretary: Mr. Speaker: The Senate have passed bills of this house of the following titles, viz:

H. R. 665. An act making appropriations for the service of the Post Office Department during the fiscal year ending the 30th of June, 1864; and

H. R. 695. An act to provide for the appointment of a Deputy Register in the Treasury Department, and for other purposes,

with amendments; in which I am directed to ask the concurrence of this house.

Mr. Olin, from the Committee on Military Affairs, to whom the subject was referred, reported a bill (H. R. 714) to construct a ship canal for the passage of armed and naval vessels from the Mississippi river to Lake Michigan, and for the enlargement of the locks of the Erie canal and the Oswego canal of New York, to adapt them to the defence of the northern lakes; which was read a first and second time.

It having been proposed to proceed to the consideration of the bill,

Mr. Holman made the point of order that, inasmuch as the fifth section provided for the payment of certain money into the treasury of the United States, and also makes an appropriation of the same. whereby it may be taken out of the treasury, the bill must receive its first consideration in Committee of the Whole.

The Speaker sustained the said point of order.

From this decision of the Chair Mr. Washburne appealed.

Pending which,

Mr. Holman moved that the appeal be laid on the table.

And the question being put,

Resolved, That all debate in the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union on the special order shall cease in thirty min utes after its consideration is entered upon.
