Company, pending its passage to be engrossed,
was tabled on motion Of Mr.. FosTRR.
An act to provide in part for the expenditures Of
government was taken from the table.
Mr.. EMERY moved that the bill be referred to
the Committee on Financial Affairs on part Of the
Senate. He had noticed by the endorsement on the
back of the bill that it came from the Committee
on Ways and Means, which was strictly House
committee. The bill therefore had not been ex-
amned BY committee ofthis branch. He thought
that bill Of such importance this, involving ex-
penditures Of over one million dollars, shou'a have
the endorsement of a commtteeo of the Senate, and
that was his object in making his motion. The bill
was not one raising . revenue, but simply one Of
appropriation, and therefore there was no prerog-
alive on the part Of the House to seclusiyey origi
nate it.
Mr.. HoLBRooK believed the bill had come up
in its usual form. He had no feeling in the mat
ter and should therefore interpose no objections.
Pending the passage of the bill to be engrossed.
| ii was referred to the Committee on Financial AZ
fairs, on part of the Senate.

severa! readings, and pending its passage to be
engrossed, Mr.. EMERY called attention to the fol-
lowing items, asking for explanation .-Interest

reserved for public uses, 81 500; balance due on
