THE RENT WIT IIIW THE CLOUD.
In our darkest hour of trouble
When the sky !« clouded o'er,
And the deepest wares ol anguish
• Bent loud upcn the ahore,
Oh, what would be our solace
When to earth, with (fritf, we're bowed
If we could not sop so surely
The rent within the cloud ?
When our friend we loved so dearly
Proves as l»»; as traitors old ;
? When all joy seems but a roo.kery,
And that prove* dross wbieb we tho't
Before we pause to fret or murmur
1 ' At adverse billows surging loud,

i And see the rent within the oloud.

, Though a film may it o'er cast ;
Yet one transient gleim of sunlight
Makes the whole seem bright at last,
Showing through the frowning darkness'

Therefore never pine nor languish,
There's a reut within the cloud.

DANBURY, N. C., THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1880.
Committee of the Whole.
It is one of the rule* of the national
Hou«fi of Representatives thai every bill
involving the levy of • tax, or an ex
penJi tuy of money, shall be first dis
, cussed iti what is called committee of the
. whole, As a oofumittee iff the wbote is
up at precisely the earns persons
i as the Huuae' itself, the reasons (nr this
ruhyire not apparent ko'pejjrtns wMfcare
unacquainted with parliamentary usages.
What is phiefly (rained when the Hoo"«
goes into • committee of the whole ia
1 that then the rules of the Howe rtriy ap-
J ply in part, and those which lake their
' place are more favorable to free discus
i sion and amendment? and to the rapid
transaction of business
We ran only give one or two illustra
tions to ahow this. Wben the [louse is
transacting business a member may
move the previous question, and thus
prevent amendments from being offered
or voted upon. In the ocmmittee of the
whole, amendments may be offered With
out limit, and there is only one way of
stopping a debate, which we shall pres
ently mention.
Again, in the House, one-fifth of the
members may order the yeas aud nays to
be taken, and this often makes progress
very slow. In oommittce of the whole
the yeas and nays cannot be taken at all
Votes Mre taken by rising, or by the
members passing between tel'ers
When the House votes to go into com
mittee—say on any appropriation bill—»
the Speaker leaves the chair, and calls
to it some member who is addressed as
"Mr. Chairman," and who usually acts
as Chairman when tbe House is in com
mittee of the whole on that bill, until it
is disposed of.
In committee of the whole, the mem
ber who reports the bill from the Com
mittee on Appropriations has charge of
it, and first makes a speech in explana
tion He is followed by oth>T members
who discuss tbe moasure generally, and
n't in reference to particular items.
When this general debate is ended the
bill is taken up in detail The Clerk
reads it, olause by clause If a member
wishes to offer an amendment to any
olause he interrupts the rending and pro
poses it. Tho usual practice is to allow
the mover of each amendment, and those
who support or oppose it, go many min
utes each, and to limit the time that can
be given in ail to one amendment
Sometimes a member will move to strike
ont the last word >f an amendmeut for
the sake of making a few remarks.
The reading of the bill, tho moving of
amendments and the toting continue
until the members are lired, when tbe
motion is made that the committee
•'ride." When this is carried the "Chair
man" leaves the chair, tne Speaker of
the House takes it, aud thus the HOUSJ
resumes its session. The Chairman then
says to tbe House that the oommittee
has come to no resolution, and asks leave
to ait again.
Sometimes, however, it happens that
a long time ia wasted in talk, and in re
peated amendments to the same clause.
At tbe oommittee of tho whole have no {
power to atop tbe debate, tbe object ia
accomplished in this way :
Tbe member who bag charge of the
bill first moves that the eommittee rise
When this is carried, and the Speaker
has taken the ehair aud the Chairman
has reported, as ire have stated above, a
motion is made that when the committoe
resumes its session all debate on the
pending olause shall be olosed in one
minute or in five minutes. This motion
having been adopted, tbe House imme
diately goes into oommittee of the whole
again.
When the consideration of a bill has
been Guished the oommittee rises The
Chairman then reports the measure and
amendments to the House, wbioh at
ooee votes on tbe amendments, either
separately or as a whole, and then votes
on the passage of the hill,
In the Senate bills are considered 'as
in oommittee of the whole " but without
so many formalities. The practice in
both branohes is a very useful aod im
portant one, and the right of members
in oommittee to full discussion o all bills,
especially those that iovolvo taxaiirn or
the expenditure of money, is one that is
aod should be most jealously guarded.
