Mr.. Everett, Of Massachusetts,, and Mr.. White,

MIR. Everett, Of Massachusetts, and Mr.. White,
of Louisiana, were. by request, excused from
serving on the committee. appointedin pursuance
of the resolution moved by Mr.. Stanbery. for an
investigation into the alleged fraud in the Propos.
ed contract for Indian rations.
mir McDufie said, he wished to make no.
ton on subject Of great Importance to the "hoIe
of the community he alluded to the tariff. He
thought it indispensable that it should be distinct
" understood when it would be taken up; ne
would therefore move that il should be made
special order for Monday next.
Mr. Adams hoped that the gentleman from
South Carolina would withdraw his motion; not
that he had any objection to so early considera-
ton Of the subject, but because he had report
to make from the Committee on Manufactures,
which might not possibly be made SO soon as Mon
day; and he should regret it the SUBJECT vas Ia
ken up before that time.
Mr.. A. assured the House that every exerti"n
had been used by the Committee on Manutac.
lures, and concluded by expressing wish mat
the matter should be postponed to further Gay.
Mr.. McDuffie said, he should be g'ad u he
could concur in the wish OF the honorable gen.
tleman from Massachusetts,, but he felt 1t his du-
ty to persevers IN his motion. he felt conn.
dent that the Committee on Manufactures could
make tnelr report ny M"uuu1, IVY ~ ~,
cussion might then commence, and still the
House would not be compromised on the subject;
and the wishes Of the committee might be after.
wards embodied in the shape Of an amendment.
Mr.. Sutherland suggested the postponement
of the subject to Wednesday next. There were
several appropriation bills to be acted on, as to
one or two of which the gentleman from s. c. had
expressed some anxiety. These might be acted on
~ tba o,oan t;ma and n would also DIV q the Com.
mittee on Manufactures an opportunity OF max
ing their report.
After some further discussion. Mr. McDufhe
assented to the postponement till "Wednesday.
Mr.. Denny proposed to substitute the Bank
question for that Of the tariff.
Mr.. Sutherland suggested that the former cues
ton would, on that day, be taken up BY the Sc
nate
And after some further remarks, the motion OF
Mr.. McDufie was adopted, and Wednesday set
apart for the consideration of the tariff.
On motion Of Mr.. Hall, Of N. c. the House, at
half past four, adjourned.
