fully, while Trumbull was delivering a

priation for Judgments of the Court of
Claims shall be paid to claimants who

Young. of Georgia, Sheilabarger. OF
Ohio, Perce, of Mississippi, Kerr, OF In.
diana. and Garfield, OF Ohio. Garfield
stated that the Committee on Appropri.
ations was divided on theiquestion, but
the maj jotity was in favor of non-concur-
renee. This amendment was an old foe
with new face. Why did the Senate
ask that, this class of Judgments of the
Court Of; Claims should not be paid as
others were pRid? This disguise was 90
thin that nobody could. be deceived;
Manifestly, 1t was that Congress might
refuse to appropriate= when judgments
In THE class of cases were referred

better than an indirect action. If

phases which the nestlon was presented,
he preferred that aamlet's advice ia the
players should be followed: ''Leave of
your damnable' faces, and begin" If
Congress meant to say that certain
awards Of the court should not be paid,

Senate Was o Nero subterfuge. II Con-.

itself the court Of appeal from the deoi.

in that case, the independence of the
judiciary was forever at an end, and the
only reason for itwas that men had once
been rebels, and must therefore be
hated; and because they are hated, the
judiciary must be struck down. Banks,
OF Massachusetts,, also opposed the
amendment as an unworthy subterfuge
and evasion Of the law. Smith, of New
York, sustained the amendment. After
further discussion, the Senate amend.
ment was rejected.
