NAVY APPROPRIATION BILL.
Mr. PEARCE, from the Committee on Finance reported
back the bill making appropriations for the naval service for

asked for its immediate consideration.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr.. PEARCE The first amendment which have to
from the Committee on Finance strike that
portion Of the naval bill relating the dry dock in Cafor
mia, and inserting in lieu oft the following
"For floating dry-dock, marine railway screw-dock
in California whichever the Secretary OF the Navy may
prove and he seecta floating drydock he
quired coune the hereby appropriated to the
ton Of such floating dock alone without basin and railway
and limit the of the whole contract to the
$780, and give notice by advertisement in the usual way
sixty days Proridd also, That the Secretary Of
the Navy shall consider said estimates fair and reasonable
The BILL as il came from the House, contained provision
very nearly like thsthat is say intended to be much
like IT, but was inconsistent contradictory, and incon
gruou. that the Committee Finance found necessary
rewre and remodel it, The object Of the provision in the
House bill get rid Of the appropriation made at the
last session for dry Dock marine railway and basin in Cali
fonia They were disposed to limit the expenditures and
they therefore provided that the Secretary OF the Navy might
select floating dry Dock without basin or railway,
what is called marine railway, which 10 known in the East
States, or screw dock, whichever bis judgment might
approve. The amendment Of the Committee Finance
does not in fact vary very much from the provision Of the
ure which seemed likely incur under the appropriation
Of last year. @
Mr.. BADGER. hope that the amendment will not be
adopted because Its effect will be involve the Government
in direct violation Of its faith 10 regard to the fufment Of
contract made under law by Of is public officers.

Mr. SHIELDS. There is now a general law for the dis
