ees from that State, during the late with Mexico
Of s93S2 So with interest the of pes
until paid"
Mr.. CLEMENS. move 10 amend the amendment by
striking the words "with interest at the of six
per cenlum per annum from the st day of March in the
year 1s47, until paid" All the bills for this purpose
which have been reported by the Committee on Military
Affairs have had the interest stricken do not un.
derstand that we agreed upon the payment OF Interest
h5z LIS h.-k kaon ttx
others; and think all ought to be put on The same
footing.
Mr, BADGER: think my friend is mistaken
Mr.. CLEMENS. think am not mistaken about the
action OF the committee in never recommending the pay
Mr.. BADGER. think tha, interest has been allowed
IN some cases. not IN all cases, Tor pay and equipment
OF troops engaged IN the prosecution OF the war with
Mexico.
every case wish 10 that if interest is be re
iained in this it is not reported BY the committee
and the amendment is out of order We have never
agreed TO report any bill allowing interest II mis-
take, understand, in the printed bull from which this
amendment is taken, by which interest is allowed; and
when we agreed TO report the other bills we struck Out
the interest | reported the South Carolina bill, and
know there was express provision inserted that inter
est should not be allowed.
MIR. BORLAND After the remarks OF the senator
from Alabama explanation is due to myself The bill
for the payment OF these expenses incurred by North
Carolina passed the Senate TWO years ago. allowing in
ieres heard no objection TO II then, but II failed in
this session., the purpose either 10 have bill
or have the old bill incorporated amendment upon this
bull My understanding was that we were TO report the
bull exactly had been passed before, and with
gard TO the State OF Michigan.
Mr.. DAWSON. The principle have adopted is
this II the State has paid out Interest, the money che
advanced, then refund her the interest and ln all
bills passed authorizing appropriation OF that kind
the Committee Military Affairs have made that recon
mendalion; but Otherwise their action is the
from Alabama says.
Mr.. SHIELDS. As a general principle we have re
fused TO allow interest do not know how IT may be in
this particular case.
