he bill to the Committee of Ways and
Means, with instructions so to modify

atoms es are indespensably necessary,
and he enforced his motion by remarks
/ at considerable length. A debate ensu
ahereon, in which Messrs. Farrelly:
Randolph, Smith, Williamson, Cooke,
Buchanan. Wright, and F. Jones, parti

mend the amendment proposed by the
gsatleman from Ohio, (Mr. Chambersl
6ystriking out the special instructions
to the committee. The ground was sta
ted by Mr., n. to be, that ne thought the
course adopted by the committee ofways

report either geseral or partial appro-
pration bills-but this was neither. 1t
va. rather a general appropriation bill
split into parts, all of which ought, in
lis opinion. to be brought together.
