ANNEXATION.

presented
SENATOR M'DUFFIE.
Mr.. M'DUFFIE said he rose to ask a special favor
of the Senate-he might say he threw himself al
most upon the charity OF the Senate, for it with
him d case almost of life and death He proposed
in executive session to deliver speech upon the
treaty, and he desired that Mr. Stansbury might be
admitted TO make report Of the Speech for he
could easier make an hundred speeches than write
out one. Mr.. s., he said, could enter the Senate
at the moment the speech was begun, and leave
the moment 1t was concluded.
The PRESIDENT said it would be more proper to
take up this question in executive session than IN
legislative session.
Mr. BEkntEN said he hoped Mr.. M'DuHie would
defer the consideration OF the question until the
Senate went into executive session.
Mr.. MDUFFlE said he had 10 objection

CANCELLED TREASURY NOTES
Some debate arose upon the final passage OF the
bill to remunerae bona de holders of those uncan-
celled treasury notes
Mr. EVANS briefly showed the propriety Of pass
ing the bill.
Mr. WRIGHT thought the bill much too broad in
its provisions, and that it would be taken advantage
of clerks in the departments.
After some little debate, and a slight verbal
amendment, the bill was passed.
The Senate then went into executive session.
