Since then there hod bocn vurious arguments and decisions by eminent gentlemen , nnd th090decisious hud done much to clear uo the question and ren dered it moro apparent wnnt the true rule was One of the llrst places where the quos tlon was raised was lu the Now York senate The present governor of Now York was the presldincofllccr , and upon him devolved a duty similar to that which now devolved on the speaker Ho met that duty in precisely the same way The question hud arisen in New York on the constitutional necessity of having three-fifths of the members constltuto a quorum for the passage of a certain bill , and the presiding olUccr hold that the constitutional provision as to the quorum was entirely satisliod by the pres ence of the members , even if they did not vote That decision could not bo regarded as paitlsan There also bad been a decision in the Tenno3seolegislnturo In 1833. The regis tration bill pending was objected to by the republicans , who refused to vote , whereupon the speaker directed the cleric to count as present those not voting , and dcclured the bill passed on thut reading Those two de cisions seemed to the occupant of the chuir to cover the ground , but there was nn en tirely familiar process which every old member recognized , whornby the omnion of the chair is Incontestable evidencu of the recognition at all times of tha right .to record members present as constituting part of u quorum It had been van ulmost every day occurrence ut certain stages of the session for votes to bo announced by the chair containing oh- v'ously ' and emphatically no quorum , Yet , if the point was not made the bill was always declared passed , and that could omy bo on a very distinct basis , and that was that every body present silently agreed to the fact that there wus a quorum There was no ground on on which such a bill could bo passed con stitutionally unless tlio presence of a quorum was inferred , and it was inferred from the fact that no one raised the question It had always been the practice of parliamentary bodies , and especially In the parliament of Gacat Britain , for the speaker to deter mine the question if there was or was not a quorum present by count Agaiu there was a provision in the constitution which declurcd that the house might establish rules compelling the attendance of members If members could bo present and refuse to exercise their func tions and yet not bo counted as n quorum , that provision would socm to bo entirely nu gatory , The spoakcr then read at length Governor Hills decision when presiding olliscr of the Now York senate , and laughter and ap plause by tlio republicans g-eetod the read ing of the sentences where the action of the minority was denounced as roballloUs and revolutionary The speaker Ignorpd Mr , Flowers request to have the republican pretest against that decision also read , and added : Ibo chair therefore rules here is a quorum present within the moaning of the constitution " Mr Crisp appealed , but the speaker recog nized Mr Payson for a motion to lay the ap peal on the table Tnis motion is not open to discussion and Mr Crisp protested against Mr , Payson's recognition Mr Huttcrworth asked that Mr Payson withdraw his motion and the latter.did so Air Crisp then said the docisjon of the speaker was overturning the uninterrupted practice of 100 years and going directly in the face of the argumonl of distinguished republican ! . This was more than a mere auestion of rules ; it was a constitutional right a right to have the yeas and nays entered , and it necessarily followed that when the constitution / said the yeas and nays should hOiu.so "entoroi thev could not bo 'ndded to or taken from Ho quoted from Speaker Hlalno's ruling on the force bill to tkoclleci that the speaker had no power to count n quorum and declared the decision made by Heed would bo found ono ortho greatest legisla tive frauds ever committed The house wns invited hero to purstfo the course which Hlalno had declared revolutionary Mr Crisp uuotod Garfield ni denouncing n simi lar rule proposed in his time and asking , How do wo know but the sneaker may see ( for tils own purpose ) forty members moro than there arc in the honsc " .

Hlalno was speaker of tbo house , but thu case was not a parallel one Speaker Uecd demonstrated that all unusual rulings were the result ot speellio and remote exigencies , intended to bn an estoppel to isolated omcrgcnulcs , and that ono ruling could not bo mudo u pro cedout for another unless it involved the luw of common sense Nobody knows how long this light will continuo or to whnt extreme It will extend Ono tiling is proven , however , and that ! a that nil the republicans intend to stand sol idly together , und they within thomsolvcs compose a mnjonty ot the house of repre sentatives It was not necessary for Speaker Rood to rule as ho did today lu order that the repub licans might have a working majority Ho oxplaincd nt great length nnd in detail that this was not a one-man power ; that ho sim ply made his conclusions from a common sense nrgumunt nnd it was left to the minority to appeal front the chair und take the Judgment of the house as n body If the minority could demonstrate that the ruling of the cnuir was not wrong , it could nt the same time Becuro n minority vote to overthrow tbo decision of the etiair A deadlock nud wrangle was created nnd these hot words and excit ing scones may continuo for some days , but the country may rest assured that the repub lican party , being in the mnjontv , will rule and rule Justly nnd that the and nchlovcd will bo the best lor the people as a vvhole Tho60 revolutionary proceedings on the part of the democrats show unusual aud startling desperation At least twenty-flvo demo cratic members have said privately that the republicans are right in unseating Smith ; that it wus not a question or right involved in the case at issue , but a question ot rul03.
