GOVERNORS RESIDENCE BILL.
Mr. COFFROTH called up his motion to lay his motion to reconsider the vote on the final passage of the Governor's residence bill, [S. 230] on the table.
Mr. JOHNSON, of Parke, demanded a call of the House, which determined 82 members present.
Mr. STEWART, of Rush, demanded the yeas and nays on Mr. Coffroth's motion, and the vote resulted-yeas 38, nays 45. So tho motion to reconsider was not laid on the table, and the question recurred on the adoption of the motion to reconsider.
Mr. COFFROTH asked, but (objection being made,) did not obtain leave to withdraw the motion to reconsider.
The motion to reconsider was then agreed to-yeas 48, nays 38, as follows.
