lebt He therefore advocated an increase of
tariff to meet the contingencies.
Mr. Toombs read the civil appropriation
ill with the amendments OF the Senate-Fi-
nance Committee, showing that every one
made was TO fulfil contracts and carry out
existing laws. The Representatives of the
House appeared to be economical, but by
.'honest" contractors they were carrying on
a system of profligacy in appropriating ST.
600, 900 for fraudulent pensioners.
Mr. Bigler said he did not like to hear such
imputatons east on the Department, or Sem
ators who voted for the measure. He did
not like the way the Senator spoke about it.

explanation. but should not for Senator to
protest against it. In what lie said, he had
disclaimed any imputation on any Senator.
Mr.. Bigler said be did protest.
Mr. Toombs replied that if he was not sat
isied with the remarks, he could get satisfac-
ton here or outside the chamber. He was
speaking of the Government and made no
personal imputatiOns. He continued to show
that the Republicans were friends of extrav-
agancc. TLey were deep in corruption in all
knows what they would do if they got the
power.
Here Mr.. DOolitile asked the Senator If he
did not recollect the Zazps grant in Geor-
gia, when the people buried the records of the
State.
Mr. Toombs replied that some dishonest
men got in the Legislature as in the case of
new States, but the people hung some OF
them and run others out of the State. They
were not honest enough in Wisconsin to do
that. After further debate the amendment
for funding for five years the $50, 900
was agreed to-ayes 49, nays 10.
