Upun a false foundation. He continued bi
argument In the slme strain. He hope,
the Senate would see it IN the same ligb
that liz and the Senator from Washington
see IL. He said he iptended to vote for tb,

protected.
JVE RIiI UPON ms MERITS.
Ir. Fulterson hoped he would be able 10
discuss this bin upon its merits. This biIl
as be understood II, was framed for the pur-
pose OF bringing sh0ut a settlement, Of the
public debt. Il didn't matter 10 him where
1t originated. He didn't suppose II origf.
mated with any particular individual, Hc
didn't know who had formulated the idea
that had been engendeyed into the mintss. OF
the Readusters for the last ten years. 1t
was strange. though, tint senator could
not have the right ~ propose an amend.
meni, and strange tbf a personal attack
should be made upon senator who merely
proposes 10 amend. There had been an in
snuation that there bad been iog-roliinQ, so
10 speak, between the Senator from Meek
lenDurg and somebody. A. he (Fulkersonl
and the Senator from Rockingham were the
only senator's who had proposed to amend
the bill, be felt that he ought to say that il
the remarks were intended for him they
were anferOus, and that they originated IN
4 CORRUPT, SLlSDEROCs, AND MALICIOUS
HEART.
Mr. Riddleberger: Does the Senator refC r
to the authority for my statement?
Mr.. Fulkcrson Yes. sir; do.
Mr.. Riddleberger (aSain): To the author
iiy?
Mr.. FulkerSon: To the authority; to the
person with whom it originated.
Mr.. Paul said that lest his silence should
be taken as acquiescng in what the Sena-
tor from Shenandoah bad said, he would
only denounce the information rs wholly
false and untrue. He had never had word
with the Senator from Mccklenburg about
his bin. lie never made such an arrange
mcnt with any senstOr 10 vote for bis b!ll
il he Pau) would vote for his. He merely
exercised the right every senator has to
propose an amendment II he feels so DIS
posed.
THE AUTHOR or THE BILL.
Mr.. Fulkerson then went on TO discuss
the bill and the proposed amendment, and
to say that II the author OF the bill l. upon
the floor he wanted it understood thlt the
remarks he should make were intended for
the bill and not for him. He was sorry
that he had not brought in a bill that he
could endorse in every particular; but ii
was so. He then proceeded from his stand
point TO discuss the amendment and the
bill. and to say that after this bill Is adopted
he did not intend 10 raise his voice on t1l,
question. lie WAS IN favor OF cutting the
debt down as low Is we can cqultably ana
Justly do 50, and he meant to vote for Mr.
Pauls substitute. though be thought it was
not what it should be. II that is defeated,
he would then vote for his (Fukerson's)
amendment offered yesterday.
