Mr.. BAYARD. Mr. President offered amendment
10 the bill at former stage of the discussion in order to
bring in the descendants by representation 10 whatever
fund might be distributed without excluding of them
Th5 amendment was voted down without the yeas and
nays now wish to offer an amendment upon which shall
ask for the yeas and nays imbodying the same princ
aud have few remarks to make in connexon with 1t
the word them strike out all TO the word parent
In the seventh line, inclusive, and insert;
To his issue hs issue Of any deceased child gandchid
70 take among them BY representation the same share the
The effect Of this amendment bring in by represent
alton the greatgandchdren ofoicer to whom the money
be paid as we'll the grandchildren stated before
ina, on M no principle Si us's on no principle aesorsan
bill which did such palpabe injustice in the distribution
~ this bounty, although it sounds lawyers say in
prt In contract you undertake To give ii 70 tht chill
1ren and grandchildren the great-grandchildren
much entitled to come in by representation as parcpa
tors in the bounty which you confer the grandchildren
or the children are il living. The only answer that
given to my amendment then was, that it tended 10
fraud My reply was that fraud probable TO
remote events and that far greater degree Of strngcncy
would BE required in the proof and greater
rived at as to who the greagrandchdren ofocer
whose birth would be said that II fraud
Were perpetrated, it would be likely to be perpera
ted in regard TO events calling for evidence of what hap
ened sixty seventy years ago, which would apply to
the children and not TO the greagrandchden Of the Off
GERS There was nothing, therefore, thought in the OBJ
lection TO my amendment There Is not State in the
Union that does not carry out the principle Of letting in
all the descendants by representation Why do they do
III Because it is the natural feeling of mankind that the
descendants should come in in that FORM
