MIR. GWIN. The Committee on Finance is the COM
mttee 10 which this resolution should be referred and
there no, majority of that committee in this city.
The is true respecting the Committee Public
Buildings IL is matter OF some importance that this
resolution should be acted upon at once, and the ap
propra,e committee not here, am perfectly willing
IL should 60 TO some other committee. will move 10
refer il 10 the Committee the District OF Columbia
Mr.. SHIELDS The Committee on the District OF
Columbia are precisely IN the same condition. We have
not got quorum here for business, and that is the
why ask that may be put upon its passage al
once.
Mr. STOCKTON move that the Senate agree to the
amendment without further delay it is bill of great
Mr. MASON. would suggest that the bill, which ap.
propraies half million OF dollars, originated with the
Committee on Finance as cnderstand---
Mr.. GWlN, Tin his seat) The Committee on Public
Mr.. MASON My impression was, that il originated
with the Committee on Finance. Now, this bill appro-
PIRATES very large amount of money; and although
dislike 10 throw any obstacle in the way, yet to
me that II should 60 TO lis appropriate committee. un
ders,and the Senator who desires its passage [Mr.
SHIELDs TO say that there is mol majority OF the Com
mee on Finance presents and in that perhaps il
would be better to refer IL 10 the Committee on Public
Buildings
Mr. SHIELDS The only objection is, that there is
neither majority here OF the Committee Public Build
ings, majority of the Committee the District Of
Columbia; and consequently, If REFERRED the matter
would have be delayed few days IL ia said that il
approprates half million OF dollars but II is TO be
membered that il is 10 extend until ls53-to the end OF
the fiscal year 1883.
Mr. MASON What was the amount appropriated by
the original resolution
The PRESIDENT. The original resolution was, that
the architect OF the CAPITOL under the direction of the
Secretary oil the Interior, should be authorized to employ
many aborers may be necessary, for which the sum
OF ten thousand dollars is appropriated.
Mr. SHIELDS. My opinion is, that II we continue the
work at allf IL is not TO be entirely abandonedths is
the time for II 10 go There cannot be better
son. surely has been neglected long enough That
my view. have other object in pressing the motion
and il will be acled on later, and
this is only halt the appropriation called Tor by the TX
ecuiive, think we might as well pass II now. under
House. and after long discussion it has been passed in
the shape now before the Senate.
Mr. B0RLAND addressed the Senate al some length
