Daily Los Angeles herald., 1878-03-14


Atkins, Chairman of the Appro.
priation Committee, expressed his
regret that the gentleman from
had not been allowed to
go on in his own way. 1t would
not have done particle of harm,
as q false impression had been
made on the country.
Here be was interrupted by
like point of order by Reed, which
was also sustained by the Chair.
He thought it very unkind in the
from Maine to make
the point, but he (Atkins) had
way of paying debts and he would
probably be able to pay that debt
their intercourse.
Reed defined his course in raising
the point of order and intimated
that the position held by the gem
tlemen from Tennessee gave him no
more right to the floor than any
other member.
Atkins declared with some
warmth that the insinuation was
discreditable to the gentleman's
cahdor.
Reed-I have made no insinua.
tions whatever.
Atkins-The insinuatinn was
that / thought that L had right to
occupy the floor to the exclusion of
any other member. II it did not
mean that, it was drivel and non-
sense.
Frye objected to any further dis
cussion of the question.
Atkins then proceeded to argue
against Hale's amendment increas-
ing the appropriation for the four
principal Ministers 10 Europe.
Luttrell stated that most of the
American Consuls had violated the
law in regard to making quarterly
reports. In 1870 the number of en-
igrants from Hong Kong had been
about $4,000 which, at So a head
Consul fees, should have amounted
to $4,000, whereas the Consul at
that port had accounted for but
$1,000.
The vote was then taken upon
Hale's amendment and it was re-
jected. SS to 10.
