On motion of Sir. SHERMAN Rep, Ohio, reso-

Htss on the Consular and Diplomatic 6ili; 80
Mr.. UNDERWOOD Dem, Ga had objected to
this restriction on the freedom OF dscusson. There
was not time to debate some of the important pro-
visions Of that bill, one of which Is an appropriation
OF $40 900 for the presson OF the Afrcau slave
trade Ii II was for the purpose OF executing the eX-
listing law, the amount is inadequate. Attempts had
bee made to violate the law in Georgia. and vessels
fitted out If il is the intention of the House TO mp
hold the law Of the land the President is entitled to
use a sufficient amount With that view
The House res oived itself into Committee of the
Whole on the State of the Union on the Consular and
Diplomatic bill.
Mr.. MeRAE Dem, Miss asked Mr.. Sherman on
what the appropriation of forty thoutand dollars Tor
the suppression of the African slave'raoe was based
Mr.. SHERMAN replied it was submitted by the
Secretary of the Treasury in the general estimates
Mr.. McRAE asked whether MIR. Sherman knew now
many slsveTs were out
Mr.. SHERMAN referred to the Secretary OF the
Treasury, who, he presumed, had come data.
Mr. McRAE remarked that Mr.. Sherman ought to
know, ard also whether slavers have gone out from
rome Northern cities
MT BONHAM tDem s. c. maintained that it had
rot been unusual TO include such an appropriation IN
the estimates There were several instances only.
Mr. SHERMAN referred to the fact that such appro-
pristions had been repeatedly made.
Mr. JONES Dem, Ga. offered provso, that no
vart of the amount be paid for the support and eduea-
ton of the Africans captured in the Echo and that the
sun be applied for the faithful execution OF the law
providing for the rendition of fugitive slaves. There
was inst az much necessity for voting money for
wing cut the fugitive slave law as for the suppression
III the African slave-trade, the education and sup
port Of captured Africans.
Mr.. REAGAN Dem, Texas did not understand
Al. fbea
neprOes.
Mr.. JONES replied, it was 80 stated in former
message of the President.
Mr. BARKSDALE Dem, Miss said, by the EIGHTH
article of the Asbburton treaty, we are required TO
keep \ squadron TO suppress the African save-trdde
and this costs nearly million annually without any
reascn being assigned the House were now asked 70
note forty thousand dollars more But the slave trade
was not suppressed and never would be till there was
q check TO Yankee energy and eupdity. 1t could he
shown that DO Southern vessels are engaged IN the
trade but that Northern vessels fitted out at North
ern porte, and manned by Northern men.
Mr.. JONESS amendment was rejected.
Mr.. MAYNARD Is. Am, Tenn offered an amend
ment which agreed 10, appropratDg l2o,OOO Tor
