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.
