He sagpesisd 10 the gentleman from Arkanass whether some such modification Of The resolution would not better ae comP'ish the object with which it was moved.
 MT, JOHNSON replied that he did not urge the measure as one of bounty, but of justice, and in accordance win the principles on which this Mouse had hitherto uniformly acted With regard In Inc suggestion Of tlie gentleman from Mississippi rela- tive to securing the due the faiber for inc bea et of the children, be would state that the estate ot Colonel Yell was greatly embarrassed, and that this sum of money would save the property from being sold out at heavy sacritce. aud leave to the children the property.
 Mir. ToMPKlNs professcd himself satisfied with this explanation.
 Mir. JOHNSON (continued) said he had no llsu of making such movement for the benefit of specufatofs and harpefs. To man who would even claim debt from the estate under cireumslances like these, he would not give his hand; he would not associate with him. He would have nothing to do with those who would press cailn under such circumstances.
 But he would call the attention of the House to one more fact; and gentlemen who were msmben of the last Congress would reeolieet it. When Col Newton presented his credentials as a member Of Congress from Arkansas, Il was a matter sf grave consideration--as there was no evidence be- fore this House of the resignation of coionoI ieII whether Colonel Newton should or should not be permitted to take his seat. He would say further. that one of the Senators from Arhansas came in.o this House and advised gentlemen on :his side of the House 10 make no opposition to i,, as ii might be considered that It was, 10 some extent thwarnng the expressed viii of the people of Arkansas, ssd consequently no objection was made. Yet t ws seriously doubted whether Col Newton was ent tied to his seat or not, as, although he had the liicaie ot the Governor. there was no svidenes of the resignation of Col. Yell He thought i, mus appear perfectly evident that Cot Yeff was enlihsa 10 hls pay uF to the time that the proclamation Issued sy .he Governor; and he hoped no gentle. man would object 10 is being paid, if, aiief iSll examination it should bc proved.
 MT ScHENCk. after some further remarks, moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the table, which was agreed to.
 So the reconsideration was laid on Inc table.
