WASHINOTON, Nov. 12.-Mr. Atkins sent up and
had road copies of dispatches sent to the Adju
tant General and the reply of the latter, No.
,evember 17. Tlhoes were the dispatcloes referred
sturday as never having been delivered.
ndorsement for papers sittes t hat the tele
Dh operator at the War Department says
he sent the telOgrams: that Ihe has the
Ieok of the operator at the Capitol that it was
reoelved.
Mr. Atkins said he had these copies read.
S-usticeto all pIarties because the opelrator at
Ceapitol says lhe never either received the
atehes or gave a toceipt for them.
, Tle Hou-e thI n as the flrst business in or
der resumed the ,.onsidoration of the untl
..~fed business of Salurlay, which was the
army apprprtattion bill. Th. ftlrst amendment
made in the oonmimitteo of the whole, upon mo
tion of Mr. 8 hleicher. was to strike out the
4lause limiting the recruiting as the force stood
ovember, 1877. This amondmehnt was adopted.
An amendment. wa:s nmade by Mr. Tucker,
which limited increaised recruiting to the cav
alry arm of service, and in effect authorized
reoruiting to 25,010 mn,. was revjited
The auestion then recurred on the amend
ment of Mr. Clymor. providing for the, reeruit
nag of a force of fpur cavalry reginmints to
their full numbers. and to be emphloyed on th1.4
Texas border, but limiting the fore to 2,o.o0
men. Upon this there was a contest. The yeas
:and nays were demanded, and t ie ainendanent
was adopted: yeas 1733, na s5 127.
After the first roll call had Iben completed
and when members who had not answerd
arose to have their votes recoilrdei. Mr. Saylor,
-of Ohio, stated that he was not within the tar
when the last name on the roll was called. and
he was asked ia Iltnanimous consent to vote. The
rule is explicit that members shatll not be en
titled to vote unlt.ss they are present during
main roll call, and as the vote was sup
losed to be very close, Mr. Conger objected to
Mr. Savier voting.
Mr. Knott raised the question whether the
member could be depriv, d of his vote at any
time prior to the annouaneu ment of the result.
He knew that that was the rule; but in his
sopinion it was a violation of the constitution of
I, United States.
he speaker said he was in the chair to en
e the rul. s. and when a question regularly
pse he would t.letermine the subject, and his
. IDosition would be to make the construction
ifavor of the constitutional right of the mem
qah vote was then announced as above.
Mr. Atkins did not see how the telegram could
been misconstrued. It was on the record,
could read it
