dolls. mutt be appropriated evcrv v..s
but upon this principle there would ha )
great amount of furniture in few ~, ~ .
by thefe iums being hcaped upon each each
other. Now, for his part, he was ~.
willing to take away any thing Of the
3o,ooo dollars which had been ia o INC
but ne would even add to it the rerna;" 49,
ing ium in hand, and furely this mutt b.
iuihcient, though in his opinion the.s
would be no neceAity for it.
Mr.. S. Smith thought gentlemen wera
not completely acquainted with the ouanr;
ty or the kind Of furniture which had hso,
provided for that houfe. The articles
which had been mentioned were cer,a;nlv
improper items in houfehold furniture Il.
much diiapproved Of the manner in wh;,b
the money had been laid out, and believc5
no gentleman could approve of It, as =
compliance with the law. However ~
had no idea Of going into the frbiett At
this time, Lett it fhould lead him furtbcr
than he would with to 90.
Mr.. Harper faid, the very argument
used by the gentleman laa up, carried the
evidence OF It's own, Importance, for if Of
this fun much had been expended upoa
other objects, not houfehold furniture. i
proved that there was the more occaGon
tor money to be appropriated fer the purpo!s
to which that ought to be applied. He
knew OF no Object to which tie gentle
mans observations were applied, other
wife than to eyince h;s difpolition to trar-
pie, very unworthily indeed, upon thole
who are already fallen. IIe hoped, how
ever, that this difpoftion would not excite
the gentleman to withhold zach meafures a.
were necedary to carry into execution
what was already begun.

The States whichvoted for Mr.. Ieffer-
fon known ohave been N. York, New

1hofe for col. Burr were New Hamp(hirc,
Mahachufstts, Rhode Iiland, Connetti-

The divided itates were Vermont and
maryland. The individual members are
I'D to have voted as follows: New
tElanrfhire, 6, all for col. Burr, Malta

From this it appears that out Of 100 men,

houfe Of representatives, 1914 voted and
that s. of thofe votes were for col. Burr !;
who therefore had majority by heads,
though not by hates. / was one of thofe
swho voted for col. Burr.
1t being at length afcertained, after 3s
trials, and Ave days continued IN balloting
that the Importers of Mr.. Jeferfon had
come to determination, which was known
to have been iolemnly made, and as pub
licly ayowcd, to riil< the contribution and
the union rather than give him up, and
that no probability exiaed OF change in
any one of them thoie who voted for col.
Burr, ard who preferred the contribution
and the peace Of the country to their own
wifhes, thought it time to preferve thofe
great and invaluable objects, by tutoring
Mr.. Jeferlon to be chofen; conceiving
that union, even under him, was better
than feparation Of the fates and that
The government might furviye bad or
weak administration, but mutt be greatly
endangered, ifnot certainly defroyed, by
being left without a head. They there
fore gave up their oppoftion. Part Of
them declined voting, and part continued
to vote for col. Burr. Thus on the thirty
fixth ballot there appeared 10 fates for
Mr.. Jeferfon, 4 for col. Burr, and de-
clined voting. The members from Mary
lard and Vermont, who had voted for col.
Burr, declined voting, and fufered the
votes of thefe two fates to be given for
Mr.. Jeferfon, which made up the ten.

Mr.. Macon believed the fun alreadv
appropriated to be adequate to all the tile
and elegance that officer would require.
For his part he could fee no more location
for furnihing houfe for the proficient
than thoie of the heads of departments
If he chofe to live in file $4,000 dollars
a year was quite luficieEt to enable him
to do it, and ifhe could not live upon that
ium, he could not upon any. $4,000 dol
lars had been appropriated for preident's
furniture, $4,000 or more Of which had
been expended, but now in addition to the
oooo on hand, gentleman wanted to put
10000 more For what, he would ak j?
It that fun was not enough, no fun what
ever would be enough. He believed this
fun would be fuficient for SO years fer
vice, and he hoped the houfe would not
now appropriate farther fun. If the file
of the furniture was RATED 70 very high,
he ihould not be furpriled foon if there was
to be proportion to make the ialary a
LITTLE more adequate to the file Of the fur
niture, and raile that too, to bring him
up to the file of his furniture.
MIR. Bayard wilhed not to extend it 70
far as the gentleman from South Carolina.
As heretofore $4,000 dollars had been ap-
propriated, he would propoie to this 5000
dollars, and luppoing the proceeds Of the
iales to amount to 5000 dollars, to add
5000 dollars, which would amount 14,ooo
medium which he coniidered efficient.
Mr.. Harper obleryed that the proceeds
Of the falesihad Hysbeen granted in ad-
ditlon to the money appropriated. He
wlfhed the fun Of 10000 dollars as pro-
Poted to be appropriated, however as OBJ
Jeetlons were made, he was willing to
modify it, and make it 5000 dollars.
which with the fix thoufand remaining,
would make the ufual FUN of Id, 900 dol
lars TO which fun he hoped no gentleman
wo, Id object.
Mir. Varnum reminded tie committee
that the fourteen thoufand dollars fir} ap-
pointed were to furniih an empty house:
the furniture then purchafed remained dur
ing the eight years of gen. Whafhington's
administration, and he believed no COM
plants Of inadequacy were heard. At the
clofe of his period of office, and before
Mr.. Adams came into Office, "a, 900 dol
lars more were appropriated, together with
the proceeds of the fale of fuch as were
unfaihionable or decayed. He did not
known that the amount ofthe Eales was at
certained, but it wasadded in the purchafe
OF new. To this was added the appropri-
alton of laf year to furnih the prelent
houfe, all ofwhich had not been expended.
He always had fuppofed that the whole of
theie tums were intended foley for the
providing OF bogeb0ld .fa,uiture. 1t ap-
peared, however, that this law had receiv-
ed different conarut. ion by the PRECEDENT,
than he had heard given to'it by any gen
tleman on the floor: for in the inventory
OF furniture remaining on hand Which had
been fupplied to the houfe, he faw an item
OF JeVen koy/ss and a carriage, and even

HOUSE OF REPREsENTArIvRs.
MONDAY, March Z.

tee on the Dill tor the further aCcommO-
dations of the preident of the United
States.
The Object Of this bill wa, to apply
5000 dollars, remaining Of the appropria-
tion Of 700 dollars during the iaa fefi-
on, for furnifhing the prefdent's houfe-
together with tie proceeds of fuch furni-
ture as, being unfit for ule, might be fold,
to procure fuch additional furniture as
might be necenary.
Mr.. Harper contended that the fun was
too flnall for 70 large and 70 elegant houfe
as was provided for that officer. Though
the houle was neither too large nor too
elegant, yet the furniture was by no means
iutficient to furniih it in that file it de-
manded. Perhaps, he faid, the old furni-
ture might procure 1000 dollars, which
added to the 6ooo dollars, and to that ad-
ded 10000 dollars, he would now move a,
an amendment to the bill, would amount
to 20, 900 dollars for furniture, which he
believed was as f1,all quantity as would
be any way adequate to that place.
Mr.. Nicholas faid the committee (of
which he was onel had endeavored to pro-
cure the belt pofible irf rmation cf the
fate of the furniture now in the houle:
they were we'll ,iatisficd that the fun in
hand which the bill propoled to expend,
with the proceeds Of fale from iuch as
might be unfit, would be perfectly compe-
tent to that decency of file which the man
ner ofliving Of that officer could require.
But, he faid, he fhould defpair of forming
an agreement of opinions as to the fun re-
QUITE, without the certainty of file could
be a1certained in which it was deGrable
to iupport the PRECEDENT of the United
States.
MIR. S. Smith hoped the motion would
not p-eyail. He could Zee no neceility what
ever for more to be appropriated than the
unexpended 5000 dollars propofed. In
II years, he faid, there had been $4,000
dollars ufed for this object. The prefent
furniture, with what this money and the
proceeds of the fale will procure, would
make very handfome quantity, and fully
adequate to the wants of the houfe. From
his obiervation in fuch parts of the houfe
as were occupied, he could perceive no
want Of furniture nor elegance. When
the gentleman fpoke of the inadequacy of
the fun, perhaps he wifhed to purchaie
plate, but as this was an article to which
any fun Of money whatever might be ex-
pended, he hoped it would not be applied
to that purpoie.
Mr.. Craik differed in opinion with his
colleague MIR. Smith) that the file Of the
rooms now furnifhed was fuch as mutt be
defrabie. What then could be faid when
It was conGdered that the largef and
mott elegant room of the houfe, and feve-
raj other rooms, were not yet furnilhed
But furniture mutt be procured for thefe
apartments before the next felton, of con-
grefs, and it would certainly require
much more money than was now rropofed
to be ufed upon it. fit was coniidered
that the whole fun was very little more

1t was further obferved that if difpo-
iltion to evade the fpirit of the law exiH
ca, 1t would be extremely eafy in the GRE
dltor' when making his bargain, to OBJ
tam note payable to perfon in another
tate or to an alien; and in this way his
object ofgetting accefs TO the federal courts
would be completely effected.
1t was further contended thar th;s !,
mendment violated the contribution. pv
1t citizen OF one fate had adeclared right
OF lung the citizen of another in the fede-
raj courts.
AS to the idea Of additional expcncc in
the federal courts, fit had any weight, it
would as forcibly apply to the creditor as
the debtor.
In reply it was commended, that fats
were itubborn things and that they eta
bliihed, notwithstanding heterogeneous the
ories OF gentlemen, that judgments in
N. Carolina were actually given in thefe-
deral courts in Lbscie, while in the fate
courts they were given in paper xrouey );
and that as to the idea Of discriminating
between b0ua fde and mala 1fas ai1ign-
ments, 1t would produce one of the mott
intricate and embarrafing queRions that
could come before the courts that in moa
cafes all the knowledge to be obtained
mutt proceed from the party intereiled in
iuppre1ing it; and that IN confequence an
exteniive 1cene ofperjury would be opened
by appealing to his oath
10 this remark the opponents oftbe
va0tiou rcjoined that the opp Grafton would
be very finple one, conG1ing only in a
reiort to the equity fde Of the court to OBJ
tam on oath of the anignee true itatement
OF facts and this refort had actually been
