The consideration Of the bill to reduce and graduate tho

Mr. Bennett from the committee on public lands re-

States for certain public purposes He stated that though
the majority Of tho committee opposed to Its

subject 1t was the same bill he had reported hereto

Before concluding tho subject the House went
into committee and took up the general appropriation
bill.
Mr. Clingman said he should vote for the Senate Ne
oraska BILL and wished the Clayton amendment stricken
out not because It wrong but because II would lead
to no practical result and because was put in to
barrass the passage Of the measure.
Mr.. Badgers amendment does not change the charac-
ter OF the BILL which, as 1t now stands does not prohibit
the people In the territories from legislang the Con-
siituton permits. II docs not say there shall be law
on the subject slavery but merely that law prohib

Mr.. Wright OF Pennsylvania had made up hs mind to
for the Nebraska bill with tho Clayton amend meut
stricken out-he knew that he could vote for that

Mr.. Maitson said m any apology necessary for his
rising to speak against the BILL it would be found in the
fact ths. the New York Legislature almost unanimously
had spoken this subject against the repeal OF the Mis-
souri, Compromise. He believed all the wings in that
body aid nearly all the democrats voted for those
