CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS,
IN SENATE.


Saturday, .4prsl Is.
The Senate resumed the consideration Of
the bill for the relief of sick and disabled
seamen.
Mr.. Parrot moved to amend the bill by
adding thereto the following section
And be it further enacted, that, from and
after the thirtieth day Of September next,
the master OF every boat, raft. or fat, which
Shall go down the Mississippi to New-Or-
leans, shall, Oh bis arrival at that port, rem
der to the collector thereof an account Of the
number of persons employed on board such
boat, raft, or fiat, and the time that each
person has been so employed; which account
shall be verified by the oath of such mas
ter, and shall pay to the said collector, at
the rate Of twenty cents per month for
every person so employed which sum he
IS authorised TO retain out of the wages of
such person : and il any such master shall
fail to render an account, or shall render a
false account, OF the number of persons en-
ployed, and of the length of time they have
70 seyerally en- dyed, as is herein re-
CURED. be shall forfeit and pay one hundred
and fifty dollars which sum, together with
all other fines and penalties recovered by
virtue of this act, shall make part Of the
said general fund Provided, that all per-
sons employed in navigating such boat. raft.
or flat, shall be considered as seamen ofthe
United States, and entitled to the relief ex-
tended by this act to sick and disabled sea-
men.
Mr. Logan opposed this amendment, on
the ground that il would be unjust TO tax a
people Tor an object i'll the benefits of which
they could not, or would not, ever pariici-
pate.
Mr.. Parrot replied, that such a provision
was contained in the existing laws on the
subject, and be thought it was proper &c re-
tain it in the present bill and argued to
shew that the marine hospital Of New-Or-
leans would often afford relief to the sick
and destitute boatmen, &c.
Mr.. Williams of Miss. did not say the pro-
vision would not be productive of good, Blu,
il was certainly new, as the boatmen were
not now entitled 10 the benefits Of the Ma
rine Hospital, that being confined to the re
gistered seamen. He moved. therefore
the postponsment OF the bill to Monday
that the amendment might be printed
which motion prevailed and
Th, bill was postponed accordingly.
The Senate took up the bill to authors.
the legal Representatives of Elisha inter
William Winter, TO institute bill in equity
in the nature of a petition of right agalns
