about taxes. about offices, about finances
and about anything else.
I Butler said IhRtsthe question was wheth-
I er An Enrolling ClerS, by accident or de-
sign, should be allowed 80 chan ge a law
| taxing monies from the Treasury, aud
I whether when tt comes back to the House
for cor ectt an there can be "A lobby broug ht
into requistttGn TO prevent such correc u.
/ He did .ot know that there was a lobby
now, but knew th ere was a very
81 srong pressure in favor OF keeping this
! provision out of the Law.

Butler-I dare stand u . for the Treasury

Butler-I supposed that the result would
be hat we should get into some such dis
Ohio thoroughly. Know fully all his ins
aud outs, and some day he shall have them
investigated when he desires.
Schenck-When you tlease.
Butier-I sh all take care IL shall be done.
scnenck-Just when you please.
Butter But let us not be diverted from
this question. find that the clerk who
left out this item IA the enrolment of the
Dill, has been, before the question came
no in the House, stating his case to tne
Chairman of the Committees on Ways and
Means, and has found an advocate in him.
semen Dck-I never heard of the case be-
fore that clerk came to my seat while the
gentleman from Massachusetts was max
ing an abusive attack on him, or some
body, for Loing what his own colleague
tD3ws) admits was nothing but an acci-
dent.
Batler-I am confined to parliamentary
language, and as yet have not received
it. [ made no abusive attack on any
body. L stated the facts, and [ state
them again. AT three o'clock in the
mOrnlnz this provision was in the law; at
five O'Clock 1t was not in the 5aW. There
was million and a half dollars q year in
tes sested in having it fail, and IL did fail

and have no word to retract nor a
word to add to them.
Referring to Schenck's statements as to
the increase of the revenue of WHISKY,
Butler said that whisky had to be with
drawn from bonded warehouses before the |
2Oth Of Aprii, and hence the apparent in
that laid the golden egg. He would meet
the gen ieman next December and ask
him how much tax has been collected be- |
tween the 2)tn of April and the 20th of |
December next Time would show W neither
he was right or the Chairman OF the Com |
mittee IN Ways and Means was right; and |
time. NJ last, makes AL things, even bad |
tenn Oers. tLaugnter.l The House should |
correct this mis- AXE of the Clerk and then |
let the COmmiltee on WAYS and Means |
bring In a OIL 10 repeal IL, If they dare.

cussion, -howed that the revenue received |
