should be provided, he should consider it the
most admirable tribunal for doing justice to
private claimants, and at the same time throw
ing proper checks and guards around the trea-
sury Of the United States, that could be estab-
lished III, however, Congress would not estab-
lish court, he would be'in favor Of a board Of
commissioners, as preferable to the present
system. sa-a
Mr.. CLAYTON thanked the senator from
Pennsylvania for introducing the bill at so
early a period in the session, and hoped that
he would press it de die IN diem until the Sen.
ate should have disposed Of the subject.
/. Mr.. PETIT agreed with those who had
preceded him in the opinion that some change
in this matter ought to be made, but at the
same time he thought that nothing short Of
ferring the whole matter to the judicial tribu-
nails Of the country would answer the purpose.
He proceeded at some length to give sy-
nopsis of the plan which he would recommend
to accomplish this object
Mr.. JONES, of Tennessee, thought that as
there was such conflicting opinions in regard
to the details Of what all regarded as an Inn
portant measure, the subject should be referred
to select committee offve members of whom
the senator from Pennsylvania should be chair
man and he hoped that they would be able,
aftera few days elaboration, to report the bill
in 49, form as TO save time and meet the
probation Of the Senate. He there
tied that motion.
Illeof some further remarks by Mr.. DAW-
SON and others, the question was taken, and
the motion was agreed to.
The PRESIDENT pro tenn. appointed
Messrs. BRoDHEAD, JONES of Tennessee, Hun
TER, CLAYTON, and CLAY, as said committee.
