but the motion was negatived, and the House,
on motion Of Nr. E ere {. went into Comm
tee Of the w hole, Mr.. Conflict, in the Oh ,ir
on The bill for the relief of Richard W. Meade.
Mr.. Spraeue, after some explanatory re-
marks, moved an amendment. TO the bill;
which went, in substance, to provide. that VI,
Meade should receive no more than he wouli
have been entitled TO if his claim had been al
lowed by the Board Of Commissioners, in
which case, the allowance # so large an adj
tlon TO the whole amount OF claims woulG have
reduced, very considerably The pro ra'a allow
ance to each claimant, as only FIVE millions
was 20 he paid ia all. The bill proposes to
allow him the same per cent, as the others re-
ceived.
Mr.. Dwight opposed the amendment, on
the ground that i, was not W.. Meade's fault
that his claim had not been allowed, and tina.
The difference he would now receive, was by no
means sufficient 10 compensate him for his loss
by the delay.
Mr. Sprague, replied, that, If the claiman,
was to be compensated for The delay the bill
ough, to allow him interest.
Mr.. P. p. Barbour, who, having last week
moved The rising Of the committee, was nov
entitled 10 the floor, eolined speaking on the
amendment, because hr wished to discuss the
general merits of the bill; whe,eupon, Mr..
Sprague, out Of courtesy, withdrew The amend
ment for the present.
Mr. Barbour then took the floor, and in a
speech Of great length, opposed the bill OH
these two grounds; LIST. Tha, Mr. Meade had
not perfect legal claim on the Government OF
the United States, and, IDLY, that the evidence
was no, such as to shrw that he had even an
equitable claim In the course Of his speech
Mr.. b. discussed the princi pies Of the Florida,

claim; and also examined much Of the docu.

mise. He is modest man-a rare praise in
members OF Congrcss-and from his ,oanf OF
that assurance for which poli zeal men are gen.
orally noted, his real merit has scarcely been
appreciated. His efforts have bee n for s"ve-
raj years devoted TO the great objects OF oru

with a praise worthy abstinence, the dictates
Of party. He has always KEEP, himself aloof
from the excitements and heartburniugs who h
have, of late years, absorbed so much Of the
time, and excited so upproftably the feelings
Of our legislators. He knows nothing oil party
discipline, and takes no part in party cabals,
but, identifying himself with the great and
permanent interests Of the country, he avoids
all those meaus BY which demagogues court
popular applause, prefeiring to be ranked as
an advocate of those great principles OF policy
which have conferred glory on the country. l
have heard him express himself upon the
party distinctions Of the day, more in sorrow
than anger, declaring that, as the present
administration had, thus far, pursued course
which seemed 10 uphold he true policy Of The
country, he was friendly to it, without any
personal attachment, but purely on principle.
