RESOLfTION- BY COACHINGS.
A resolution introduced l v Mr.
Catohtnga, of the cnmtnittau on rules,
at the lginningo( the session today to
tine members f 10 for falling to vote on
the call of tue yeas and uays, or for
absence without live, Drsoi Dilated a
season of filibustering which continued
until adjournment was taken.
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. The
vote ri8iilted: nays, M3; nays, 11; tho
Republic ins not voting.
Silt. CROW'S RKAI Will's,
Ex Speaker Grow (Rep., Pa ), aaid:
Mr. Speaker. 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.
