avery large majority, after undergoing long and
earnest oiscussi- ON its merits AT the close of

House reported, through his honorable colleague,

wanton waste Of time for him to recn puat them.

twenty ninth and thrtieth Congresses bill to

believed that for want Of time it was con-
sidered in the Senate. Ii there existed those
