Mr.. Morrill,, OF New York, submitted re-
solution calling upon the Secretary OF the

OF deposits in the Treasury to the credit OF

panv; whether interest should be allowed
thereon; what the expenses Of the commits
sion to SETTLE the affairs OF the company will
be; what legislation is necessary to finally
close up the affairs OF the company and have
the commissioners retire. He said he un-
derstood that the commissioners were will
ing to retire, but could not do so under the
law. In his opinion the original managers
OF this institution should have been crlmi-
nally prosecuted. Agreed to.
Mr.. Withers, OF Virginia, said that at the
close OF the last session the bill reducing
the lax on tobacco went over under the
rule without reference to the Committee on
Finance. He therefore now moved it be
taken from the table and referred to that

suffering on account of the uncertainty re-
garding this taxation. Upon examination
OF the record it was ascertained that the
bill was referred to the Finance Committee
| lust before the close of last session.
Mr.. Ferry, OF Michigan, upon his own
request, was excused from serving on the
