vored the amendment. Frye, while
disclalming any reflection on the
Committee on Commerce as at pres
ent constituted, tut thought the com.
mittee made very colOrless record
during the last twenty years in pre-
paring no comprehensive, original
measures for the promotion or re-
vival of our shipping.
Frye referred to the intense activ-
itv which characterized public men
of England in regard to the shipping
of that country, and England gained
victory in shipping over every ma
ton of the world, and while he
(Frye) could not help admiring the
steady purpose and manner in which
England accomplished this result, he
felt constrained to say always anu
everywhere that she works for
money. She fought the United
States nearly fifty years because we
owned slaves, and when the war
came that promised the slaves on one
hand freedom and on the other con-
tinued slavery, she saw her oppor-
tunity, and forgetting principle,
supplied the South with munitions
OF war and arms Of every kind. We
captured 763 OF her blockade runners
with 26, ,O0O, 900 arms and ammunition

pIe she held so dear, in order to gel a |
market for her goods and employ her
ships. She built up great busi-
ness and has it yet. The speaker
animadverted with some severity on
the system of compulsory pilotage
dues, which he characterized as
great hardship on shipaing. McMil-
Ian said there was much difference of
opinion in regard to such dues, and
it was not clear that they should be
abolished. With regard to the work
of the Committee on Commerce Nc
MILAN said that during the last Con-
gress it made reports on a great Va
riety Of subjects and the merchant
marine had not been neg ected.
With regard to the River and Har-
bOr bill, he thought it one of the
most useful and bep peticial bills with
which c 'ngress dealt, and criticisms
made upon the River aud Harbor
bill would apply to other bills also.
Without reaching conclusion on
he rule the Senate went into execu-
i've session, and soon adjourned.
