For Register)
Mr.. RandAll-SubOequently my alton.
ton was called to the question, and /
found that ] was mistaken. It will be
noticed that the Assistant Treasurer Of
the United States asserts in the letter
which has been read that he has no record
Of the payments for the Thirty-ninth
Congress, and refers TO the Registers
office; and the statement from the Regis
ter's office Is that the full amount was
paid. But have since made a full ex-
animation Of the matter, and have been
furnished with the receipts. which were
signed by F. E. Spinner, United States
Treasurer. The first session Of the Thirty.
ninth Congress adjourned July 29, 1855.
My object now Is to place on file the two
receipts given to Mr.. Hubbard, 90 as to
counteract any injurious impression my
first statement may have made with re.
ference to that gentleman. And I do It
with the more pleasure because It never
was my intention to mlsrepresent him or
any one upon this floor, and because !
have been approached in this matter with
that courtesy which should always
prompt any man seeking simple Justice at
the hands Of another desiring, as desire, /
to do Justice. .H'
Iwish to add Just one word. Mr.. Hub
bard by his action covered, on August 8,
1855, and March 8, 1867, that money into
the Treasury, and he could notget II out
again without an act Of Congress-. .isI
The receipts to which / have referred
are Is follows: b., .s,g.,-..s 60 +. '.''.-'
