Mr. HUNTER The amendment which the Com.

sachusetls wishes TO speak hope. therefore. that ibs
Senate will, by unanimous consent. pass il until

the tenth section, about which there will be couo.
No objection was made; and the next amendment re
ported from the committee was as follows;
sEc 10 Aad bs J4riay snaefsd, That the Pesiden, r

failure of either party TO flo such notice with The CLERK
aforesaid the appeal shall be regarded as dismissed"
Mr. HUNTER. This amendment consists Of two
parts. The first relates 10 the appointment Of assistant
law agent. This has been applied for, believe, by all
the bar in California, and is estimated for by The Secretary
Of the Interior is SAID TO he Of the causes Of the
delay in the decision OF these claims that they have not
more than one law agent The residue OF the amendment
for the purpose OF protecting the interests OF the United
States and extends the time in which appeals may bs
| taken.
MIR. PRATT. l think the senator will perceive one
omission in The amendment u provides that after the
commissioners shall have decided any case they shall
cause transcripts Of their decisions, together with
the testimony, to be made. One OF these is to be filed
in the district court OF California within which The De.
cision shall have been made and the other is to be sen,
10 the Attorney General. There is no time specified
within which these transcripts are to be made out
There is time limited within which the copy Is 10 bs
sent to the Attorney General Bu. the Limitation is,
that the Attorney General within six months after lhs
filing of the transcript in California IS 10 6le there
his direction for appeal. the United States pre-
cluded from ever prosecuting an appeal i may be- and
frequently will in the remote districts 0 Califor
MIA, when the transcript is fled there being mla
ion when the other shall be cent here. that the Alor
ney General will not have time 10 examine and deler
mine whether the interest OF the United States would
require an appeal not before the six months have
expired. The amendment can be very easily oiifed
as TO make the Limitation tor the appeal within six
months from the period when the Attorney General
shall receive the transcript.
Mr.. HUNTER. have no objection to that.
Mr.. PRATT. The Attorney General is to dsermin.
whether the United States shall appeal not He must
receive the transcript must have time to examine il
amidst the mutfaous business in which he is engaged,
and then have time 10 send back TO California and file
United States no. protected. My object is TO protect
them.
Mr.. BAYARD / would suggest to the senator from
Maryland that his object will be accomplished by amend
ing The amendment in the following clause:
"And the decision shall be against the United States
shall be the duty of the Attorney General, within like pc
rod a notice be filed with the clerk Aforesaid
the appeal will be prosecuted by the United Saies
by striking out "a like PERIOD" and inserting in lieu
thereof the words six months after receiving said tran.
script"
Mr. PRATT. That will do. | move to amend the
amendment in that manner.
The amendment to the amendment agreed 10 and
the amendment as amended was agreed to-
MIR. HAMLlN. | am directed by the Committee on
Commerce move TO amend the bill by inserting under
the head OF marine hospitals the following ~.
That the Secretary OF the Treasury be, and he is here
