The question was stated, "Will the House pass
the bill, the objections of the President TO The con-
trary notwithStanding?"
Mr.. BAYLY said, if the House would give
him its attention for five minutes, he thought ne
could convince il that the bill ought mol 10 pass
Mr.. B. then went on 10 stale the circumstances
attending the building of certain cutters already
under contract and in the course OF construction
and entered into a legal argument in support o.
the Presidents objections.
Before Mr.. Bayly had concluded he was inter
rupted, and gave way for the Committee on In
rolled bills 10 make a report.
After the report of the Committee on Enrolled
Bills had been disposed OF, the right TO the hool
was given TO Mr.. Rayner. Mr.. Bayly claimed i
on the ground that he had not concluded, out gave
way to a privileged committee 10 make a report!
The difficulty was finally settled BY Mr.. Rayncr:
relinquishing his right; and
Mr.. BAYLY said but a few words more upor
the subject of the veto, and moved the previous
question.
Here Mr.. DROMGOOLE, from the Commit.
ice OF Conference OF The disagreeing votes OF the
Two Houses on the amendments oil the senate
pending TO the bill making appropriations Tor GER
tain notifications was permitledto make a report
stating that the Committees OF Conference OF The
NO Houses had met and been unable to come &c
any agreement or compromise.
After Mr.. DROMGOOLE had made his re-
port
The question was put. Will the House pass
the bill 10 prohibit the building Of revenue vessels
or steam cutters, unless appropriations thereof
shall have been previously made by Congress, the
Presidents objections 10 the contrary notwilh-
standing? And il was taken BY yeas and nays.
Before the roll was called through upon this
question
MI. BAYLY rose and said the finger of the
clock pointed to the hour Of IL, and he demanded
that all proceedings in this House should cease
its constitutional period Of existence having ex-
pircd.
Cries of "Go on-go on"
The Clerk went on with the call. and compile
led il.
Several gentlemen desire 10 be called again,
