Mr. Blanchard asserted that no bill
had ever come before the House after

which required that the bill should be
passed under a suspension Of the rules. o
But one OF the appropriation bills had
passed the House. The House had re
ceiyed notice that tomorrow the tariff

cupy five or Dix weeks At the end OF I
that time all the great appropriation bills ,,
