abridgment of the right. to vote

The reading of the resolution caused
a flurry on the democratic side. Be
fore it had proceeded far Mr. Richard -
jumiped to his feet and Interrupted the
reaudred unanimous consent. 1
It does not." replied the speaker:
It is offered as a matter of privilege.
'I make the point that the resolution
does not constitute a matter of privi-
leg-e." said Mr. Riohardaon. -
"The reading' has not proceeded far
enough to determine that point," res-
fDonded the speaker.
Richardson took bis eat, but before
the clerk could proceed Mr. Underwood
of Alabama, Was on his feet. "I make
tn point that there is no dTKM-um-1
present ," said he. The speaker glanced
about the house. Evidently there was
no quorum' present.
"The -chair will count," he said .. .
The bouse was counted and when the
speaker announced 141 present, not a
quorum, Mr. Ijnderwood, immediately,
moved an adburnment. An aye and
nay vote was demanded and obtained
on this motion
During the roll call there was hurried
consultation on both sides of the house
