Mr. Chairman, after this bill was acted on BY The
Committee of Ways and Means, q question arose
in relation to the twenty per cent allowance to h.
professors Of the Academy at West Point. Afterm
examination of the authorities, and the decision Of
the Secretary of War, the committee decided in favor
Of the allowance Of twenty per cent. to the professors
at West Point. 1t was decided by the Department
that they were held to be commissioned officers. It
merely allows the twenty per cent. (which was
granted to all others to the professors at the West
Point Academy.
Mr.. G,DD,Ncs. Mr. Chairman, we are in the Com.
mittee of the Whole on the state Of the Union and
l will say few words in reply to what has been
said by the gentleman from North Carolina Nj.
Shaw understood him to assert that, when one Of
his colleagues Mr. Gilmer] had concluded his speech,
I went to him, extending my hands and taking bis,
and congratulating him on his speech. Iendeavond
to put the gentleman right at the time he was max.
ing this statement, but there was so much noise and
confusion am not sure whether gentleman heard
or understood me- However that may be, desire
the country, this House, and the gentleman to know,
that there was not word of truth in what be ut.
tered on that point went no nearer to the gentle
mans colleague mr. Glmerl than the aisle up which
1 was passing; and, instead Of congratulating bin
on his speech, inquired whether he had used m!
name with the name Of Mr.. Buchanan. remarked
further, that If he did, should hold him respOnl'
BILE for it. did not congratulate him on his speech
nor did hear the remark of the gentleman, exceP!
as it was told me by other gentlemen. This is AL
there was Of it. did not congratulate him; m
not extend my hand to him; and did not leave The
aisle in passing up
Mr.. CAMPBELL In confederation Of what my co.,
league has just stated, desire to say at this point
that was near the honorable gentleman from NORTH
Carolina [Mr. GILNER] when he made his speech,
My colleague, who has just taken his seat p'ssH
up the aisle and protested against the use which na
James Buchanan, and then he passed on.
