provision in any such bill or amendment
thereto changing the existing law, be in
order, except such as being germane to the
subject matter of the bill shall retrench ex-
penditures. This was a change Of exist
ing law, and while he did not raise the
point of order that II would be manifest
extravagance and an increase of expense
he believed that it would be. lie submit
ted that it was not manifestly for retrench-
ment Of expenditure aud was not germane
TO the appropriation bill.
Mr.. McCrary read q written argument in
support of their point of order.
