Nj. Nj Kee from the committee on The

The house resumed the consideration OF
The Dill for laying and coitec ing direct
Mr.. Harris (of Tenn) submitted an a.
amendment for his state TO fix the tax on the
value of the property ofthc state. AS the
bill now stood he conceived that population
was made the basis for laying the tax, &c.
/, A number Of local amendments in reIa-
tion to particular states took place, so as to
hrolong the time at which the legislature
may make provision for paying the same
and save the percentage Of fifteen Per cent,
without the call Of an extra session of such
legislatures.
MI C6eeUes regretted that these amend
msnts should have taken place it would
be impossible, under these circumstances
that the revenue could avail gentlemen for
the year sl4, the necessity of which eve
ry person admitted, though as but few be-
!ieved that the present congress would
prove 1t. He felt himself obliged, for the

Gus question, SO as to leave tho bill as it
originally stood, adopted OF rejected The
motion was lost rs to 7S
Mr.. CheeUes then moved to leave South
Carolina Included, and placed in as good a
situation as the other states who had this
indulgence granted to them. The amend
ment was agreed to.
Mr.! Potter proposed an amendment to
include Rhode Island. He believed the
direct tax would be as equal in that state
as it was possible to make it.
MIR. Goldson renewed the call for the
