Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Constitution of the United States of America With the Amendments Thereto: To Which Are Prefixed the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Ordinance of 1787
Senate indicated by italics. In former editions such references have been printed in uniform type inclosed in brackets, making it difficult to distinguish between the earlier practice, for which Jefferson's Man ual was authority, and the present, regulated by rules now in force. Such standing orders of the Senate as are not embodied in the rules, and such parts of acts as relate to the business of the Senate, have been retained and codified. The Tenure of Office Act, the Civil Service Act, the historical and statistical matter relating to the States and Territories are republished as useful matters for reference.
The Table of Senators of the United States has been arranged to show the succession in each State to the close of the first session of the F otty-ninth Congress.
Charles B. Reade, Clerk to Committee on Rules, U. S. Washington, D. C February I, 1886.
