HENRY MEMORIAL VOLUME. 



January 22, 1879 House. 



Mr. ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS, of Georgia. I submit a resolution, 

 upon which I ask immediate action. 



Resolved, etc. , That the memorial exercises in honor of Professor Henry, held in 

 the Hall of the House of Representatives on the 16th of January, 1879, be printed 

 in the Congressional Record, and that 15,000 extra copies of the same be printed in 

 a memorial volume, together with such articles as may be furnished by the Board 

 of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution, 7,000 of which shall be for the use of the 

 House of Representatives, 3,000 copies for the use of the Senate, and 5,000 copies 

 for the use of the Smithsonian Institution. 



Mr. STEPHENS, of Georgia. I ask the previous question upon the 

 adoption of this resolution. 



The SPEAKER, (Mr. S. J. KANDALL). The Chair suggests that the 

 resolution does not designate the proper proportion of copies as be- 

 tween the Senate and the House. The House ought to have four 

 times as many as the Senate. 



Mr. HORATIO C. BURCHARD. Should not the resolution be referred 

 to the Committee on Printing? 



The SPEAKER. The Chair does not suppose that the expense con- 

 templated in the resolution would reach $500; but if it would, then 

 under the law the resolution must go to the Committee on Printing. 



Mr. STEPHENS, of Georgia. This is precisely similar to the resolu- 

 tion adopted in the case of the memorial exercises of Professor Morse.
