in the amendments to the Senate's proviso to
the clause appropriatmg $50, 600, for running and
marking the boundary betw cen the United States

agreed to.
The question was then taken on concur

ditional compensation TO the Collins line OF steam
ers Before the vote was announced great snX-
iety was manifested to know the result, as the
Members for and against the amendment were
supposed to be nearly equal, and it was uncertain
which side had the preponderance.
Mr.. MoREHEAD, who had voted in the
negative, changed to the affirmative. This seemed
TO render the contest more doubtful than before,
and, for wonder, there was for about minute
perfect silence.
Mr.. SMART said he voted in the negative,
but had agreed with his colleague (Alr. Appleton)
who was now absent, that If his vste would affect
the result he would pair OFF with him. Hewished
now to withdraw his vote. OBJECTIONS were rails
ed and cries of"Announce the resuIt"-"NOw for
the Vote
