FORTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS, 1881-1883. 927 



is deemed advisable to regulate their printing by general law in order 

 that there may be uniformity in the volumes printed and in the man- 

 ner of their distribution. 



I have here a communication from the Secretaiy of the Smithsonian 

 Institution which I erroneously presented to the House on the 20th 

 of June last in connection with another matter. It relates, however, 

 to this joint resolution, but was by mistake printed heretofore in the 

 Record in reference to another subject. If the gentleman desires it, I 

 will have it read now, or it may be printed in the Record. 



Mr. HoLMAN. I hope it will be read. I understood that the gentle- 

 man was opposed to these indiscriminate publications. 



Mr. Springer. I am, when they are inconsiderately made, but when 

 they are reduced to a system I think the publications should be made 

 permanent. 



Mr. HoLMAN. The same argument would apply to all publications. 



The Speaker (Mr. J. W. Keifer). The communication will be read. 



[See House, June 20, 1882.]

Mr. Frank Hiscock. How did this joint resolution come before the 

 House ? 



The Speaker. It was reported regularly from the Committee on 

 Printing. 



Mr. Hiscock. I move that the House now adjourn? 



Mr. Springer. I hope the gentleman will not insist on that motion 

 now. 



Mr. J. Randolph Tucker. I hope the House will not adjourn. 



Mr. HoLMAN. I call for the regular order. 



Mr. George W. Steele. I desire to move that the House resolve 

 itself into Committee of the Whole on the Private Calendar. 



The Speaker. The question is on the motion to adjourn. 



The question was taken; and upon a division there were — ayes 63, 

 noes 51. 



Before the result of the vote was announced, 



Mr. William Aldrich called for the yeas and nays. 



Mr. Julius C. Burrows. Oh, no; it is too hot for that. 



The question was taken upon ordering the yeas and nays, and there 

 were thirty -five in the affirmative. 



So (the affirmative being more than one-fifth of the last vote) the 

 yeas and nays were ordered. 



The question was taken; and there were — yeas 99, na3^s 66, not vot- 

 ing 124, as follows: 



YEAS. — Anderson, Armfield, Atherton, Atkins, Bayne, Bisbee, Blackburn, 

 Blount, Brewer, Briggs, Browne, Buck, Buckner, Julius C. Burrows, Butterworth,
