ORDER OF coNs DERING PRIVATE BILLS
Mr.. HALE. now renew the motion made by the sen.
aor from California Mr.. GwINl to postpone the order
o The Senate that reaies private bills for the purpose
OF taking up the resolution offered by my colleague. And
think that the honorable senator from New York Mr..
SEWARD is altogether mistaken in his supposon that
i an mpacfaole rule They have had such rule ~
just and equitable rule for when bill for the benefit
OF Carnee nunnery, or something OF that sort, gets
the head OF the calendar, it blocks the calendar. and
the whole business OF the Senate is delayed whereas if
we 60 over the calendar, taking up bills TO which there
objection and dispose OF them we can then go back
and take up the Others hereafter hope this will
commend itself 1.-THE favorable consideration OF the SEN
ate, and that they will adopt il.
n Mr. SEWARD. understand it perfectly. When you
get Carmete nunnery before the Senate, can never
pass. Any senator may make Carmee nunnery by
opposing the passage of bthat is 10 say this princ
pie gives priority to those who can get their claims
fhrnp ell
the consideration of those mertorious claims which
qure 10 be discussed. understand perfectly
Mr. GWlN. ! appeal to The Senate il the argument
just presented is sound The honorable senator
from New York says that because majority OF the SEN
ate opposed to the passage OF certain BILL therefore
YOU shall not pass any bill that they are not opposed 10
Now, sir there is vast number OF bills upon the pri-
yae calendar that nobody is opposed to- and shall we
occupy ourselves upon this bill. conesng il day after
day. and never deciding it, TO the injury OF these other
clamants9 If we pursue that course there is large
number of bills that shall be able to reach and
for that reason think il necessary TO adopt this rule
think il is due to those claimants whose be
except under this rule think that they should
have some OF them passed at least hope no senator
will oppose that matter OF justice Sir, these claims
have many oil them been before US Tor years. and while
two or three Of these disputed claims have thus far taken
up almost all the time, we have made very little progress
upon the private calendar think this is unfair and IN
Just 10 these claimants that should pursue this
and allow few doubtful claims TO occupy the whole
time of the Senate.
