This process has been exhibited by other in
| dividuals, both in this country and Europe;
but they were themselves ignorant OF the pro-
cess by which they arrived at their results;
nor could they communicate their knowledge
or art to others. Mr.. Deshong, however, pro-
fesses to impart the faculty to pupils at $40
per head |, will save more head work"
than the invention Of Monsieur GuilIotin.


The prayer having been made, and The jour
nal read, motion to go INTO the consideration
Of the New Jersey contested election was neg
aved. Alter colloquy between Mr.. G. Da-
Wis and the Speaker in relation to the manner
Of acting on private bills, and it being deter
mined that this was the day for the taking
them up, provided they would not occasion
debate

asked Mr.. Davis TO give way, but he insisted
on renewing motion to go into committee,

OF the Massachusetts Senate) was called to

"The gentleman from South Carolina must
rise when he Objects"

Mr.. Holmes, rising up. " Then, Mr.. Chair
man, rise and object" He subsequently,
withdrew his objection.


Much confusion arose, and other members
objected. The Clerk then proceeded to read
the list of bills, and nearly all were objected
TO from different quarters


| Mr.. IT, b. King moved that the committee
rise. II was carried, and 'he Speaker resumed
the Chair and after much cross firing. and
Intellectual attempts TO introduce resolutions
and notices, he announced that the question
was on concuiring in the amendments of the
committee to the several bills as reported.
Without any documents by which the report
ers might follow the track OF proceedings-not
even copy of the calendar to be procured
it is impossible TO give the bills as passed. In
the confusion, haste and noise, none could be
distinguished that seemed to be of any gener-
al importance. The yeas and nays were or
dered on motion that when this House ad-
journs it adjourn over to Monday next. 1t
resulted yeas 70, nays 81. So the motion was
lost.


On a motion to go into committee on pri-
vate bills, Mr. ]. r. Ingersoll called for the
yeas and nays, but sufficient number not RI
sing, the Speaker declared there was no quo
rum. Aud the House Cat past 2 P. NJ adj
ljourned TILL tomorrow morning at IL O'Clock.
