Wednesday night, April II.

Wednesday night, April II.
Mr. c. J. lngersoll from the Committee on For
egh Affairs. submitted bill providing for the
creation OF Commissioners to examine and de-
tcrlninc upon the claims for French sooa,ons
prior to 1901 and appropriatlng twelve thous.
and dollars for that purpose.
Mr. Harden from The committee on MILITARY
Affairs, repnr,ed a bill appropratng fifty thou
sand dollars for the erection OF an armory at Fort
Massac. Illinois.
Afer the reports of committees had been
gone through with, the bill for the improvement,
of Western rivers and the harbors of the lakes
was taken up. Mr. Douglass addressed the
House in behalf of the bill, and principally with
the view to show to the House that the bill was
not liable to any constitutional objections !; and
that it was within the rule laid down by Gene
raj Jackson in his veto of the Maysville road
bill. lie also referred to the opinions of all the
Presidents, and showed that from the formation
of the Government, the right to make approprl-
atoms for the Improvement of harbors and of
navigable rivers had been insisted upon by all
| of them.
Mr. Rhett rose, and denied that such was the
fact, and asserted that prior to 1924 there had
been no appropriations for the imDroveme nrs of
harbors and rivers, but that the first law making
appropriations for this purpose was passed in
lS24, which was law provided for the surveys,
and which was the father Of this system.
Mr. Douglass rejoned and showed that the
very first Congress that assembled under the
constitution, made appropriations for the i'm
provemens of harbors 4; appropriations had also
been made at very early period for Charleston
harbour, aud he demandcd il gentlemen consid-
cred that unconstitutional!
Mr. Holmes replied that he did. Mr. Douglass
said, and "yet that gentleman in an argument
made at the fore part of this session admitted
that we had the power to appropriate for West.
era ryers!" Mr.. Holmes aasened but ad.
ded, that the power was derived from the ordl-
nance of 81 MIR Douglass regarded II as grea,
absnrdiy that our constitutional power on this
subject was dei ed from that ordinance and not
from the constitution itself. lie then resumed
aud concluded his arguments, and was followed
by Mr. Rhetl in opposition to the bill.
Mr. Rhett believed that Congress had no such
constitutional power, and as it regarded the
opinion of Gen jackson, as contained in his W to
