the difcuty Of obtaining details from the Committee OF
Ways and Means which called up Mr. MORRILL,, (rcp.), Of
w. who said the gentleman had sgmatzed that commit
tee AZ being in favor OF the largest expenditures He
protested against this as false.
Mr. Wiz replied that the gentleman was not just 70
himself He repeated that many occasions the House
was not able TO obtain the information TO which they
were entitled He did not make any charge against tho
committee; but, without unkindness he thought the
committee had too much work do that It's duties
ought 70 be divided among other committees.
Mr. MoRR4L said occasion the gentleman wanted
TO know how much money had been paid to assessors
and how many Indians had been removed The ques-
Hons preposterous and sensible could sup
pose the committee could answer them II not to be
expected the committee should know all the details Of
every bill.
Mr. WILSON said the gentleman mistook. He had
asked what was the highest amount received by any
and collectors and instead Of asking what
Der Of Indians he had desircd know tho number Of
tribes He would be deferred from asking for nfor-
nation because the gentleman became angry. Whether
the gentleman liked it not he intended to persevero
until he effected amendment Of the rnes to facilitate
business By obtaining the information necessary for in
telgcnt legislation.

what was said BY any one about tho Committee Of Ways
and Means But there seemed TO be = determination IN
certain quarters 70 deprsciats and magn the action Of

was laboring under haIlucinntion.
Mr. WILSON replied he we'll understood tho danger Of
coming In contact with she gentleman from Pchnsyl
vania He knew that few members dared do II; but not
whstandlng the genteman's power snd ability, he lhr
Wilson) representative OF tho people, would sssor
that that committee disposed TO fall In with tho CO
Inmates rather than follow tho suggestions OF members
He should do his duty 70 the best Of his ability
