Congress Library.
Mr. Dennis said that by the act passed the present session, further to provide for the removal and accommodation of the Government of the United States, a sum not exceeding $5,000 was appropriated for the purpose of procuring a Library. In order to carry that provision into execution, he would move the following resolution:
"Resolved, That —— be a committee, jointly with such committee as may be appointed on the part of the Senate, for the purpose of making out a catalogue of books, and adopting the best mode of procuring a Library, at the city of Washington; and for adopting a system of rules and regulations relative thereto."
This motion was agreed to, and Messrs. Waln, Evans, and Powell, appointed.
