Mr. BOUTWELL. I wish to make a suggestion to the House.

That will give the gentleman from Illinois [Mr. Washbur e an opportunity to press the consideration of the appropriation bills to day and to morrow

Mr. DAWES. I do not desire to interfere with the business of the House, but I wish to state that there are four election cases undisposed of which it is not only proper but important to have brought up before the House at a very early day, and I do not feel it my duty to permit unanimous consent to any arrangement of our business unless the House will also, by unanimous consent, assign some time for the consideration of these cases.

The SPEAKER. The Chair will state that immediately after the reading of the Journal on any morning, when there is not unfinished business coming over from the preceding day, privileged reports or motions to reconsider may be called up before the morning hour begins.
