Mr. Lovejoy moved that the vote last taken be reconsidered, and also moved that the motion to reconsider be laid on the table; which latter motion was agreed to.

Notices were given, under the rule of motions, for leave to introduce bills, as follows, viz:

A bill to prevent the sale of the public lands, except to actual settlers, for ten years after the same shall have been surveyed, and the plats thereof returned to the local land offices;

Also, a bill for the relief of Nathaniel McLean, Richard G. Murphy, and Charles E. Flandrau.

By Mr. Potter: A bill to secure homesteads to actual settlers on the public domain.

On motion of Mr. Washburne, the votes by which Mr. Hickman and Mr. Curtis were severally excused from service-the former on the Committee of the Judiciary, and the latter on the Committee on Military Affairs-were reconsidered, and the House refused to excuse them.

So the said members retain their positions on the said committees. The Speaker appointed Mr. Mallory to fill the vacancy on the Committee on the Post Office and Post Roads, occasioned by excusing Mr. Wickliffe.

A message was received from the Senate, by Mr. Hickey, their chief clerk, announcing the death of Stephen A. Douglas, late a member of the Senate from the State of Illinois, and communicating the proceedings of the Senate thereon.

The said message having been read,

After remarks upon the life and public services of the deceased, Mr. Richardson submitted the following resolutions; which were read, considered, and agreed to, viz:

Resolved, That the House of Representatives of the United States has received with deepest sensibility intelligence of the death of Stephen A. Douglas.

Resolved, That the officers and members of the House of Representatives will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days as a testimony of the profound respect this House entertains for the memory of the deceased.

Resolved, That the proceedings of this House in relation to the death of Stephen A. Douglas be communicated to the family of the deceased by the Clerk.

Resolved, That, as a further mark of respect for the memory of the deceased, this House do now adjourn.

And the House accordingly adjourned.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1861.

The following petition and memorials were laid upon the Clerk's table, under the twenty-fourth rule of the House, to wit:

By Mr. Conway: The memorial of Abelard Guthrie, praying to be allowed mileage and per diem as delegate from Nebraska to the thirtysecond Congress; which was referred to the Committee of Elections. By Mr. Washburne: The petition of Daniel H. Whitney, praying Congress to increase the pay of common soldiers; which was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs.

By Mr. Nixon: The memorial of citizens of Camden county, New Jersey, praying for pensions to soldiers of the war of 1812; which was referred to the Committee on Invalid Pensions.

By Mr. Calvert: The memorial of Edward Cockey, in relation to his compensation as late gauger in and for the district and port of Baltimore; which was referred to the Committee of Claims.

A message from the Senate, by Mr. Patton, one of their clerks: Mr. Speaker: The Senate have passed a bill (S. 6) to refund and remit the duties on arms imported by States; in which I am directed to ask the concurrenee of this House.

On motion of Mr. Stevens, by unanimous consent, the said bill was taken up and read a first and second time; and the House proceeded to its further consideration.

Pending the question on its third reading,

Mr. Washburne moved the previous question; which was seconded and the main question ordered, and under the operation thereof the bill was ordered to be read a third time.

It was accordingly read the third time and passed.

Mr. Stevens moved that the vote last taken be reconsidered, and also moved that the motion to reconsider be laid on the table; which latter motion was agreed to.

Ordered, That the Clerk acquaint the Senate with the passage of the said bill.

The Speaker having proceeded, as the regular order of business, to call the committees for reports

Mr. Stevens, from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported bills of the following titles, viz:

H. R. 18. A bill making additional appropriations for the support of the army for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1862, and appropriations of arrearages for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1861;

H. R. 19. A bill making additional appropriations for the naval service for the year ending June 30, 1862, and appropriations of arrearages for the year ending June 30, 1861;

which bills were severally read a first and second time, committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, and ordered to be printed.
