SENATE BILLS AMENDED BY THE HOUSE.

When a bill is returned from the House with amendments,
the question is taken upon the adoption of the House's
amendments. The proper motion then is, if the amendments
are agreeable to the committee which introduced the bill:

"Mr. President, I move that the Senate concur in the
amendments of the House." The question is taken upon the
adoption of the motion. If agreed to, the bill, as amended,
is passed by yeas and nays. If not agreeable to the commit-
tee, a motion that the Senate do not concur in the House's
amendments is the proper one, and if sustained by a vote ot
the Senate, the chairman of the committee submits for adop-
tion a message to the House substantially as follows:
