diers and sailors, was postponed until Wednesday noon.
 General Johnson of Tuscaloosa, in the senate today, moved that the senate fail to concur with the house in the concur renee with the amendment of the gover- nor.
 On the reading of the message of the governor, Senator Rogers moved that in order that all the senators might be present to vote on the measure its.lc sideration be set down for noon Wednes- day.
 General Johnson said that he saw no reason why the consideration of the mat ter be deferred. He spoke at length, elo- quently and feelingly, of the self-sacrifice of the Alabama soldiers of '61-65. He called attention to the way in which oth- CT southern states had provided for the needy confederates their wives and chil- dren, and urged Alabama to do as much.
 General Johnson wished the senators to understand that he did not reflect on Governor Jelks. He had the highest re- spect for the chief executive and believed his motive in cutting the appropriation from the $1000O0 of the original bill to S500O0 the purest. He believed the gov ernor had made a mistake in judgment. T say" said General Johnson, that admire Governor Jelks, but when it be- comes question of the governor and the confederate soldiers. I will ever be found With the men who fcrificed all for love Of country and love Jf cause in the dark days"
 Senator Spraggins said that the uues- ton was not whether the senate should appropriate s1Oo.OoO or s5o,OOO-it was whether or not the consideration of the motion of Senator Johnston
 MT. Spraggins was frank to state that nf 4t.- he did not know the state of the finances of the state. He knew. however, that when too much money was appropriat- ed the governor would call a halt That halt has been called. Senator Spraggins agreed with General Johnston that each senator had a right to judge of the finances of the state from his own obser- vation. He asked for an opportunity to do so, and was therefore in favor of the motion of Senator Rogers
 The ayes and noes were called for by Senator Johnson. The motion carried by 19 ayes to II noes, and the discussion of concurrence with the action of the house in reference to the amendment of the governor to the bill to provide for the needy Confederates. their wives and chil- dren, will come up as a special order Wednesday noon.
