On concurring in the amendment of the com- . . ......... mittee of the whole by which ''sail" was strick en out of the duty paying article, the vote was yeas 10,1, nay 08. So the amendment wa con curred in. Amidst a great uproar, a motion was made to re consider the vote just taken. The yeas and day having been ordered, Mr Hudson calld upon the Speaker to have that rule enforced, which prohibits any member from standing near the clerk's desk while the vote is taking. The Speaker requested members to take their ! seats, and caused the rule in .p.esl.on to be read, j It was not, however, until after repeated eintt , that the oll'ender could be induce I to leave the I front of the detk. The vote 011 the motion to reconsider was then taken, and decided irMho nejutive Yeas 101, nays 103. The annunciation of the vote was received by 1 oii.l clapping. The question was ni;ain put in another form, VI. . ' Shall salt l.e placed on tint free ,t ?" The vol was yeas lOo. nays I'M. So it was a- j lain decided that Fait tthnuld he placed on th free list. A moment afterwards, however, the Speaker was called upon to vote, lie did so, and in the negative. This made the vote a tie, which was rquul 1o the rejection of the motion. Loud ap plause again followed. It subsequently appeared, however, that owing to the great confusion which prevailed, the Clerk had miscounted the vote, and that it was yeas 105, nays 10J. which did not give the Speaker the right to vote, ha being permitted te do so on ly when his vote will change the result on any question. A motion was then made to reconsider the vote, and it was carried yeas I'M, nays 101. The effect of this was to bring the hoite back again to the question, "Shall salt he placed on the free list .'" The vote was yeas 101, nays lO'i. So it was decided after alt that salt shall not be placed on the free list. It therefore re- mains in the bill subject to 20 per cent duty. The fate of the bill depemhil upon this one neg ative vote, as otherwise the New York members would riot have voted for the bill. The question was next taken on concurring in the amendment of the committee repealing the fishing bounties. This was non-concurred in yeas 100, nays 109.
