7IIE LAST OF THE TENURE'-OE-OFFI
ACT.

This bill gave rise to another discussion is it;
Senate on the reception of a message from the
announcing its non-concurrence. Mr. Trunivitu,
made a long speech in support of his motion t°

by the same votes as before. It came up agaill

of the Senate amendment is left untouched'

second section is amended so as to read as folloo
" That. during any recess of the Senate the Presideri.d

Butler, who reported it, thought the section °n al!

Mr. Trumbull gave quite a different interpreOothi
there to that given in the House by Butler. 130'
