On May 19 an effort was made to consider the bili in the House under suspension of therules, or to have a @ay set apart for its consideration. Two-thirds vote was necessary. The vote stood 137 to 83, and, of course, the object of the friends of the bill was defeated.’ It will be necessary to secure twenty or thirty votes from the opponents of the measure to pass it. ‘The greatest opposition 1s from the south and west.
