Senator West said he had been informed
the title to the Flats to be reclaimed would

- After additional amendments had prevailed,
lacking on to the bill an increase of $40, 900
for Yaguina Bay, Oregon. and SIS, QUO for
Cum beriand river, Kentucky, Senator
Butler moved TO increase it $2o, 900, making
a total of $500, OOO for Charleston harbor. He
had read at the clerks desk Recommendation
for the increase by Gen. Gilmore. ass
Conger, of the commerce committee, which
reported the bill, deprecated the apparent dis
position in congress to give undue weight to
recommendations which did not come through
the proper committee, He eaid II the COM
mittee had followed suggestions for incre ase
which had been made them through other
than official channels the bill would have
swollen to SIS, 00O. GOO. He could see no JUS
LITIGATION for the pending melton.
Senator Butler intimated South Carolina was
entitled to bene fit by the committees liberality
and called senator Conger's attention to sun
dry items for Michigan rivers In which an
increase had been allowed.
Senator COnger said where his own state had
received HUNDREDS, other states had been given
millions for rivers. He had been driven to
wonder at his own moderation when he heard
the demands made by other senator's. 1t was
better, however, to be grand than Insignificant
in these matt rs. He supposed Senator But.
Ter would deem it unworthy himself
to ask for less than couple of hundred thou
sands of increase, but he thought he would
have the senate reflect there must be limit
to the size of bills somewhere. He then argued
that South Carolina had been among the FORE
most of states in former years in resisting
internal improvements by the general govern
ment and that this was hardly consistent with
her present demands. ~.
Senator Butler replied criticizing Senator
Conger's remarks as q speech for home con-
sumption, as scolding and sneering, for which
the inquiry he had addressed to that senator
furnished neither justification nor pretext.
He challenged lis correctness IN various par
ticulars and asserted that the misrepresenta-
ton into which the senator had fallen con-
corning the record of South Carolina upon
ternalimprovements was upon par with his
miscellaneous generally concerning Charles
town harbor expenditures. Senator Buffers
amendment was rejected.
Senator Harrison, from the committee on
transportation rontes to seaboard, offered an
amendment authorizing the expenditure,
under the direction of the secretary OF war, OF
5000, or so much thereof as may be neces-
sary in completing the survey OF ship canal
to connect the Chesapeake and Delaware bays.
and directing report to congress as TO which
of the various routes surveyed will
afford the greatest protection in cas-
of war and most effectively cheap
Baltimore to the Atlantic ocean, together with
the cost of the improvements and its APP
proaches and the annual cost OF maintaining
and operating tine canal when completed.
Adopted on UivI u0ce vote.
Senator Morgan said he would demand
separate vote upon the amendment, when the
bill was reported to the senate.
At this point repeated efforts were made to
adjourn, but Senator Nc MILAN, in charge of
the bill, insisted upon having it disposed OF
before the close of the day. 4 ca >
Senator Hoar, in opposing an adjournment,
remarked that the apathy exhibited by the
senators charged with facilitating important
bills was unprecedented, and the senate was
proceeding as leisurely in the middle of July
as it did in the middle OF December.
Senator Plumb, from committee on public
lands, reported bill repeating the laws grant
ing lands TO the state of Missouri to aid in the
tain railway in that state, and to restore such
lands to the public domain. Placed on calen.
dar without disposing appendlng bills.
