FIRST SESSION.
SENATE.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1856.

:
A communication was received from the De-
partment Of State, showing the expenditures of
that branch of the government Referred and
ordered to be printed
A similar communication was received from the
War Department. which also referred and or
dered to be printed.
Mr. CLAYTON moved to appropriate out Of the
contingent money to purchase two hundred cords
of wood to be distributed among the suffering
poor of the city.
Mr.. HUNTER opposed the appropriation from
the contingent fund, though he would not object
to legal appropriation for that purpose.
Mr. T0OMBS opposed the appropriation from
the contingent fund, on the ground Of unconstitu-
tionality.
many precedents for making this appropriation
from the contingent fund He thought this body
the local Legislature of the District and that it
should do something for tie poor under its direct
government.
Mr. CLAY moved to strike out from the resolu-
ton that part that made the appropriation from
the contingent fund, and to amend by purchasing
the wood from the "per diem" Of the Senators, in
equal proportions
Mr. TO0MBS wished to amend still further by
purchasing the wood from the "per diem" of those
Senators who voted for the resolution.
Mr. BIGGS thought it wrong to pass such bill,
because the Senate was not forbidden to do it by
the constitution. And if this was passed the SEN
ate could be called upon TO furnish food, clothes,
&C., not only for Washington but for all other
parts Of the country. Neither did he think the
Senator had the power to egislate money out of
his pocket.
Mr.. ADAMS thought the whole matter viola
ton of the constitution, and should vote accord
ngly.
Mr. WELLER wished that the matter should be
dropped, and that the pages be requested to pass
subscription paper around In order that each SEN
stor might contribute according to his inclination.
Mr. IVERSON moved to lay the whole matter
on the table.
Mr. SEWARD called for the ayes and noes stat
ing that he did so, because he did not wish debate
on the subject thus stified.
The vote was taken, and the Senate refused TO
table the subject by vote Of "a to II.
