Tho reading of the resdlutlon was re ceived with laughter and applause bv the Republicans, and while the yHS and nays were being called it was dis cussed with much interest by Knots of members about the clrk'a desk.

I rise to h i.y a Word Koms what in the nature of a parliamentary inquiry. If I understand the prooesd- IttSH here, tne committee an rules have reported S proposition bv which a quorum is sought to bes.cnr-d without a .lucrum answering to iheir names Their plan is the imposition of fines nnd penalties mi accounts WhiOfl have no moral turpttii l connected with them. i nar tieing too prop isi tion of the committee mi rules, if it is to adopted at all, I think It should be made broad er, and that we should bsve lines and penalties imposed on ur n who violate tne rule 00 "looking at well ason those who fail to answer to thsir n un-'s. Laughter and applause. Hut, Mr. speaker, it does not strike me that it belongs lo a legislative body to attempt by tinR and penalties to compel its members to comply with its rules. The majority luv it in their power to nan trelize the eir-ct of our tllOQOs, and that Is ail they ar entitled to. (!-,unt the men that sit in their seats and do not vote, nnd there is your quorum. It needs no penalties, it needs no quarter sessions prooeedtoirs to try in 'tubers of the house, SO in iking the sergesntsi-arms s constable to coiled your lin.-s ApplaOse. Hut if wear,. lo'haVO lines it all for violations of the rule, then I bold that, every violation of a rnle of the house should be pun Uhud bv fine or deduction from the compensation provided for members of this house. Dy a vote of yens 61, nays ir,."i, the homo refused to adjourn, and the yeas and nays were then taken on seconding the demand for the previous question of Mr. ditchings' resolution revokiog leaves of absence, This resulted, yeas 188 nays 3 Mr. Used made the point of no quorum, the speaker pro. tern., how ever,sai. that no quorum was essential to the adoption of the resolution under consideration. The resolution was agreed to and then at 8.80 o'clock, on motion of Mr. CatobingS, the house adjourned until tomorrow. COfiBETT CO-RESPONDENT.
