Evidently there was no quorum pros ... ont. "Tho ohatr will oount," ho said. The houso was counted and when tho speaker announced 141 prosont--not a quorum-Mr. Underwood immediately movod an adjournment. Tho ayoa and nays woro demanded and obtained upon thia motion, During tho roll oall thoro woro hurried consultations on both sidos of tho houso. Many of tho Republicans woro takon as' much by mir pr iso as tho Domoorats. Tho lattor dooided to filibuster to tho last ditch.

Whoo the road ing of tho resolution was oonoludod Mr. Riohardson insiatod that tho roso lution waa not privileged. He argued that tho resolution should go to a com mittee. Mr. Olmstoad in reply arguod that un dor tho constitution, mattors affoot ing the reapportionment of ropiosont atiVes wore of tho highest constitu tional priviloge and oitod an olaborato opinion of Spoakor Koifer, in tho forty seventh oongross, in support of his position, MATBB8 OF PRIVILEGE. Spoakor Randall, ho said, had also hold that an apportionment bill was a matter of tho highost priviloge. His resolution, ho oontondod, Hooking aa H did to determino tho constitutional baals of roprosontation, was equally * privileged. Tho house, bo argued, oould not aot intelligently unions it . > Was advised in what States and to what oxtent tho suffrago of oitizona of ibo United Statoa had boon abridged. ; Mr. Olmstoad sjdd tho resolution i touched tho dignity of tho houso itself If the suffrage had been abridgod in certain Statos thon members woro un .

Heoonoodod that an apportionment bill was privi leged, but oontondod that tho resolu tion itsolf was simply ono of inquiry to asoortain faotB whioh might or might not bo truo. ' Tho resolution oloarly rooitos that in certain Statos suffrago, bas boen abridgod without roduotion of ropro soiitation." interposed Mr Olmstoad. 'Tho whoroas' makoB suoh a allo gatijn," replied .'Mr. Richardson, ''but ibo ' resolution is simn'y ono of in quiry." "How oan wo apportion constitution ally," asked Mt.

Ho said ho inver expootod to pass upon a question sr jro simplo. Ho ovorrulod tho point of order. Mr. U?dorwood immodiatoly raised tho qiestion of oonsidoration against tho" r?solution.
