the army bill was considered again.
Wlthers said the bill, as it came
from the House, did not suit the
| committee exactly, yet, the session
being far advanced and only one OF
the appropriation bills being passed,
the committee did not amend or
alter it.
The bill was then read.

sTossIonal election.
Withers claimed that it was out Of
order, being new legislation.
The chair ruled that It was general
legislation.

and that last year It had been so ue-
clared by the chair. He made con-
atiiutiOnal argument in favor of the

ing t0at the chair, in his ruling,

It must pass bills precisely as they

OF the rules being imperative.

"Provided further. That nothing in

ment was simply explanatory and |
dehuiCve.
KIrkwood supported the amend S
nent, protesting against the assump- L
ion of the bill that the President s
could use troops in q state only on the a
application Of its government. He 0
laid the democrats were trying TO get ,
control of the entire government. In \

afraid to say what it meant. The v
country wants to know now what
hey were doing. If they meant to L
ay the question of whether the laws 4
# the United States are to be executed y
q the United States shall depend on c.
he will OF the governors, when &c
'iolence resists their execution, that 81
he protection Of the property of thu 81
United States in state depends on
ne will of the governor when violence
hreatens it, that the safety Of officers
+ the United States depends on the
7ill of the governor, then have the q
outrage to say so; and if not, to say 50. ~
