Mr. CLARKE said that he had heard a Com
,s;ssop was sent out To Mexico one at salary fora
few months of $4,000 and four others at 81 wv eacn
1t may been proper, but was very gooa pay II
was better than beng on the COMMITTEE.
Mr.. BAYARD said there were but lew VINO

dischaTging the duty. ~,
MIR. SoULE said when the result of the Com
rnision was made known man in the country wsuid
regret the expense
Mr.. CLARKE thought the amount was pretty
biph No report had been made 10 the Senate

thereto bis proposition granting reciprocal fishing rights
10 III WdCcfn VI uOtu
Governments. He urged the necessity OF some ar
rapgement of this subject for if nothing done now,
a collision this summer would certainly take place
Nr. MALLORY moved to amend by adding
provso that nothing this act should be considered as
allowing the citizen OF any foreign power to fish in The
water Of any State Of this Union He entered into the
argument Of showing that the States had never surrend
cred their jurisdiction for marine league IRON the
shore Of said State He referred TO the fact that the
emancpated blacks OF the Bahamas wh9 were most ex
peri fishermen would under this act enter the ports,
and harbors of those States whose laws and peo
pie regarded such class of people most dangerous
10 their peace and prosperity
Mr.. DAVIS said if the States had this right
the bill would not interfere with them. The United
States granted nothing by it but what it had The bill
only granted this privilege TO the citizens OF the hve
Northern British Provinces.
Mr.. HOUsTON by consent here submitted a
resolution calling for copies Of the accounts Of the
Census Superintendent, which was agreed 10.
Mr.. DAVIS resumed, if the arrangement
should be found 10 be defective one it could be re-
pealed at the next Session.
Mr.. BAYARD said if the operations of the bill
were limited to the 4cth degree of north latitude, he
would not care for it.
Mr.. ToUcEY believed the States had the ju-
over the waters within coasts and consc
quenty nothing would be granted on the part OF the
United States.

waters 20 which 1t could admit these British Ishermen
