THE CHAPMAN LIQUOR BILL.
Mr. CHAPMAN (under a question of privilege) called up his bill [H. R. 288] to amend sections four and eight of the Liquor License law of March 5, 1859, which failed yesterday for lack of a Constitutional majority, and thereupon he demanded a call of the House, which resulted in 90 members answering; and then further proceedings thereunder were dispensed with.
The bill was then finally passed the House-yeas 57, nays 36-as follows:

Mr. KERCHEVAL explaining, said, in this morning's Sentinel Mr. Stanton and himself were charged with having dodged, vanished or bolted to avoid the vote on this bill; to which he replied that he neither vanished, dodged or bolted, but now voted for the bill for the same reason that certain Democratic members here bolted last March-to give, this question to the people.
