WASHINGTON, August THE knit goods

tomorrow. The vote by which it was
passed stood, yeas So, nays Is. Messrs. Bay.
ard, Brown, Davis, Of West Virginia, Cor.

linois, voted with the Republicans in the
affirmative. 1t is singular fuct that this
bill, which is entitled "a bill 10 correct nm
error in section 25O4 OF the revised stat
utes," contains very stupid blunder. In
stead Of section 2504, section % is named
in the text Of the bill Ms the section to BE-
corrected. Fortunately, the words OF Sec
tion 2504, with the correction inserted, is
quoted, otherwise it would prove correc-
tion that would not be correct. It appears
that two figures, Oh, " ere dropped out Of the
printed copy which was sent to the Clerk's
desk, and which passed the House. The
Finance Committee made the necessary
correction, but had this amendment been
ailirmatively acted on by the Senate, it
would have been necessary to return the bill
to the House, and this would have endau-
gered its passage. 1t was considered best
to let the error 80, particularly as the Sec.
retary OF the Treasury says the error is so
inconsequential that no controversy can
arise as to the exact meaning and purpose
