Mr. Kasson suggested that the inquiry go baek a few years further and include the Democratic party.

Mr. Qoode preferred the resolution in its present form, not caring to go back to times bofore the deluge.

Mr. Holman suggested to strike out the words "Republican party" and substitute for thsm the words "any political party.*'

ing that the doetrino just enunciated by the House in the adoption of the resolution offered bv Cason, is so wise and just that it should be followed by the officers of the House in filling subordinate offices under t&esi. and listruc ting them in all such cases to give to well qualified Union {oldiers preference over soldiers of the late Confederate army. [Laughter.] He moved the previous question on its adoption. The previous question was not seconded 78 to 103.
