Mr. SMITE (Chester.) I would suggest that
the number of the committee on die part of the

reads, bad wader consideration 'tire subject of
the revision of our revenue system ; and es the
members of that committee ,have given this

might be able to give it in a short time, it prob
ably might be well, (should the. SOggestion re
ceive the spproval of the Speaker,) that the
committee already appointed should act as the
special committee wader this remintion. 1
move, therefore, to /ahead. by Striking out

trust that eleven o'clock 4111 be the daily hour
of meeting, and that we shall adjourn daily at
one o'clock. When the conunitteee shall have
sibmitted suitable meausures for our action, I
shalt be as ready as any other Member to work
earnestly and peragertngly ; but it occurs to
me that for us at thin time to appoint two
daily guidons of this House, each four hours
long, would be altOgether preposterous.
Hr. SMITH (Chester.) I think it . would
be preferable that we should adjourn to•day'
until ten Veto& Swam:ow =main, u the

better_able to not on this question than we are

Mr. HASLETT. In view of the suggestion.
of the gentleman from Chester, I withdraw!
my amendment for the present.
Mr. GUERNSEY. lam entirely
- satisfied;
that the proposition of the gentleman from .
Chester *shall be adopted. It occurs to me,
however, that, as usatttra now stand, we can
not, at the present time,
adopt any intelligent
action in this Mouse, until the committees
shall have digested' and reported bills for our
consideration. I think that for us to attempt,
in.this House, to digest the various measures
which it is necessary to pass would be a very
.erroneous method of pn?oeeiling.
Mr. SMITH (Chestet)'moved to:amend the
restitution of Mr. OUBINBBY by striking out-Ali
after the. word "resolved" and insertingthe
following: • -
