tons were unjust He opposed to the reconsidera'
ton of the bill
Mr.. ANDERSON inquired whether tue bill the gen.
eman from Massachusetts designed TO offer, was the
bill approved by the Committee.
MIR. REED answered that 1t was, with the exception
Of the last section.
Mr. ANDERSON said that if the act of 81 was re-
pealed it would revive the act of a. and that was OF
the same nature He hoped that the House would take
the first opportunity TO look into this BILL which has
been reported by the Committee Naval Affairs.
He hoped the amendment would not be reconsdered.
Mr. MONROE was decidedly in favor Of the repeal
of the law of 81 yet he had voted against the amend
Inc mt of the gentleman from North Carolina, because
it was not proper sound legislation TO amend APP
preparation bill by repeating law of much moment TO
the Navy He in favor Of paying what is now due
to the pensioners; and that should bring up law
properly dgesed and pass on ii ought. He hoped
that they would reconsider this bill and pass the appro-
pration BILL and act the necessary bill, which night
10 reported by the Committee.
Mr.. EVERETT dwet at some length on the sub
iect which mperfectly heard and which are
not able to give.
Mr. REED had been reported somewhat enormously
as to his debate the subject He did not mean to
denounce with so much severity the act Of 81 But it
was ndiscreet and unwise. He opposed paying PEN
sons according TO the act Of 1887. He spoke of his
constuents-they had done more fighting the battles
of the country than any other and they had
here to ask for pensions. He hoped the House would
reconsider this bill, leaving out the amendments, and
take up the bill brought forward by him and adopt it.
Mr.. NAYLOR was in favor of bringing the discus
sion to end. He thought the vote respecting the
law of 81 hasty and unwse.
That all laws when originated imperfect, and it
was by the emendations of experience that the most
perfect laws were formed
That, part ofthe law of 81 was defective and ought
to be repealed, leaving that which sound. He
hoped that the motion would be re-considered-that
the appropriation bill would be passed, and that
bill would be brought forward obviatng the defects of
the law of 81.
Mr. JAMESON moved the previous question.
Mr.. TURSEY moved that the House adjourn,
