thorlzIg the issue Of treasury notes and loan, re-
ported 1t back without amendment
MIR. l.. asked that the bill be considered noe.
MIR. EVANS objected. The bill had not yet
been printed and laid the tables OF the senator's
aud neither himself or any Of his colleagues knew
what It was. He did not design going into a long
discussion OF the subject, nor did he know he
should oppose the bill, but he did desire to make
some observations thereon when 1t came up.
MIR. LEWIS expressed the hope that the bill
would be allowed to pass through committee Of the
whole, and be reported to the Senate to-day, when
he would be willing to lay II over until To- morrow
Mr.. EVANS assented TO such course, provided
the bill left in the hands OF the Senate and open
to amendment

the whole, and reported back to the Senate without
amendment.

now be put upon It's third reading, and then laid

had read it-neither could any other member of the
Senate.
