AMENDMENT OF THE RULES.
Mr. GREEN (having filed his motion yesterday for that purpose) now moved that the amendments to the Rules of the House shall not be effective until they are printed and laid on the desks of members.
Mr. NEWCOMB. From the notice of, the gentleman yesterday, he did not understand that the motion was to have respect only to the amendments of the Rules. But, since it was, limited to them, he did not see any necessity for the order. These amendments were in the Indianapolis JOURNAL this morning verbatim, and every member has had them to-day, or might have had them. The Rules entire would be printed by to-morrow.
Mr. GREEN made the motion for the benefit of members inexperienced, like himself, in parliamentary rules. The report in this morning's JOURNAL is not entirely full.
The SPEAKER. The Chair must rule that the motion of the gentleman must conform to the notice.
It was ordered that the gentleman have leave to correct his notice.
Mr. GREEN amended his notice so as to conform to the motion as above.
On the motion of Mr. BELFORD. Mr. Miller was added to the Committee on the Judiciary.
On the motion of Mr. DAGGY, Mr. Spencer and Mr. Shields were added to the Committee on Temperance.
The House then (at 5:05 P. M ) adjourned till to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock.
