recting that the committee report the bill

In the course of the debate Senator Nor
gan said latitudinarianism seemed to have
become the order of the day, and he supposed
the senator who protested against the gov
eminent undertaking anything it pleased
was simply considered making himself ride
ulous But there had never been more
dangerous and desperate piece of legislation
than was this bill. The power given by it to
the secretary of the treasury was utterly indie
feasible.
Senator Plumb remarked, somebody must
execute law. He had confidence in the
judgment Of the secretary of the treasury and
had no idea that that officer would abuse any
power given him by the bill.
Senator Morgan said the assurance given
by Senator Plumb in the officers of the gov
eminent were not warranted by their recent
history. He (Morgan) had himself, within a
short time, shown the senate that man who
had been indicted in the United States courts
and prosecuted by the attorney general Of
the United States for the crime Of perjury
had actually been appointed United States
marshal Of the middle and southern districts
of Alabama The departments of this gov
eminent, as the senators could not but know
were so conducted as to subserve persona
politics, even party politics being given bu
secondary consideration The reward of the
marshal referred to, was for bringing voters tt

Senator Miller, of California, offered as al

cattle, or those which have been exposed tc
contagion, and authorizing the president t.
prohibit the importation of adulterated fooi
products from nations that unjustly discrim

any bill relating to the contagious cattle dis
eases was manifestly incomplete that did moi
provide for the exclusion of diseased cattle
from England and other countries, and that

countries, These contagious cattle diseases
