wouId involve an Intimate eTnense of ss-
OOO. 600. IL was aIso tinoent on tbe con-
sent of the State of New YORK. aS,i he
tboupht the consent of that State ou0ht To
be obtained first.
Mr.. SUMNER INQUIRED of Mr.. Sherman
whether he thought the consent of the
State of New York was necessary.
Mr.. SHERMAN said it was REQUIRED by
one of the provisions of the bill. Ii was a
question which might give rise To a great
deal of debate.
Mr.. HOWE spoke against postponement. |
This was a work which interested not New |
York alone, but the country; therefore Con
gress ought not to wait for a State Legisla- |
Iure to take the initiatory step. He hoped |
the motion for a postponement would not |
prevail.
Mr.. GUTHRIE doubted the right of Con- |
gress to INCORPORATE a private company to |
DO the proposed work, He had a doubt as |
to the right of Government to construct a |
shin canal for national defense. He favored |
the nostnonement. not believing Govern |
ment to be at present in a condition to un- |
derts1e such work.
Mr. NcDOUGAT,T, said this o1esticn was |
tvvantv years old. and there was no cause |
wbv its settlement should be longer delav- |
ed. !
Mr.. HOWARD said he was strongly and |
earnestly in favor of this measure, and he |
boned If would not be postpoued. |
