Nay-Mr. POWELL.
OF the SO Senators who voted for that
bill, 18 are now supporters OF Gen.
Grant, II are supporters Of Mr.. Greeley,
and 7 are dead. i
Gentlomen, il has been truly said of
that Army Appropriation bill-it was
for the year commencing on the lst day
of July, 1864 and ending on the 3Oth OF
June, 1865-that these monies thus
voted by us with rare unanimity, sent
Sherman triumphant on his march to
the sea, replenished the thinned ranks
of Grant before Richmond and gave
vigor and success to all the operations,
largo and small, undertaken hy our
government in the closing year Of the
war. 1t was that money that brought
the war to an end and secured to US,
trust,an everlasting peace. Cheers. Yet
O chairman set up to manipulate and
pollute elections has the face to send

to their own pockets instead OF the in
terests of the county. More cheering.
But this immense appropriation Dill
was not at first successful. 1t passed the
Senate, but the two Houses got by the
ears on some amendments, in relation
to that everlasting subject of Congress.
