The message having been read, Banks, the
chairman of the Committee on Foreign Az
fairs, moved that it be laid on The table and
printed. Judd, member Of that committee,
suggested its reference to the Committee on
Foreign Affairs Banks said that the question
had been fully considered by that committee,
which had made report that would come up
tomorrow. Cox remarked that the hmita-
ton of the Presidents right to make COM
miunication to Congress was that ne might,
from time to time, give it information as to
the state Of the Union, but he regarded this
message as an attack upon the report made by
the gentleman from Massachusetts,, (Banks,)
and 1t should be as In the case of Andrew
Johnsons message, laid on the table without
reference to committee. Banks said he had
not made the motion In the spirit In
which Cox inferred it was; the usual
course was to lay such messages on the table
and have them printed. Dawes thought that
after the remarks of the gentleman from Ohio,
it would not be respectful to lay the message
on the table. Banks moved that the message
be referred to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs. Cox moved to lay the message on the
table. Banks's last motion was adopted and
the House adjourned.
