have this bill or none other, would
have supported it.
A lively discussion then occurred
between Messrs. Conkling and Thur
man in regard to the right of expa-
triatlon, in which Thurman, reply
ing to some comments of Conkling
charging him with speaking in a
magnificent, complacent and excit-
ed style, replied that he declined to
pe there rebuked by such child OF
nature; by q man who dlsdained
anything theatrical in manner; by
one who was simplicity incarnate.
Such an experience was indeed hui
initiating and instructive. 1t wound
ed him to the heart. Laughter. ]
He was never so impressed with
his defects before, and it should be
the study of his life to cure them.
| Renewed Laughter Neverthe-
less, he must proceed to teach the
Senator lConkling) little ele-
mentary doctrine concerning the
subject in hand.
Mr.. Hoar, of Massachusetts,,
said. as he understood it, the Sena-
tor from Ohio argued the doctrine
ofeXpatriation in a way that meant
that a bird could leave the parents
nest without the privilege oi
alighting anywhere.
Mr.. Thurman said he would buy
his friend the richest copy of Au-
dubon he could find and send it to
him that he might see that this
had nothing to do with birds,
| [laughterl,
Wadleigh, of New Hampshire,
favored Conkling's amendment and
said there was bill now before
the Senate to grant three hundred
thousand dollars subsidy to build
up our commerce with Brazil,
which was not half so important as
our commerce with China. A
subsidy of five hundred thou.
sand dollars per year had
been given to build uI
our Chinese commerce, and it was
repealed, not because the commerce
was failure, but because of the
corruption in procuring the sub.
sidy. He argued that this country
was rapidly gaining the trade o.
China.
Ingalls, said he voted against
Conkling's amendment and he in.
tended to vote against the bill also,
but as the bill seemed to have q
majority he would vote for the
amendment now, as he believed II
would save the honor of the nation
| Conkling's g'samendment was again
rejected by vote of 81 yeas, 80
nays.
| Anthony r.. 1 then submitted
as substitute for the bill, the
amendment of Conkling, with the
latter part in regard to notifying
the Emperor that we will correct
the evil by laws of our own, in case
he refuses to do so, left off, and ii
was rejected-yeas 26. nays 33.
Morrill, (Vt.) submitted an
amendment providing that the bill
shall not apply to any master of a
vessel seeking harbor in stress OF
weather. Agreed to.
Mr.. Whyte, of Maryland, sub.
mltted an amendment that the act
should take effect on the 1st day OF
February, 1880; and, in the mean.
while, the President shall negoti-
ate for a modification of the treaty,
as proposed by the amendment OF
Mr.. Conkling. Rejected.
The question being on the pas s.
age of the bill, Edmunds said he
wished to express his utter abhor-
renee of the principles upon which
the bill was founded. He hoped
that the Constitution had yet pro-
vided some means by which this
measure, so odious to him, would
fail to become law.
