ate proposal of amendment by a vote of
50 to go, after sharp debate, in which
everybody took a hand. In the first
place, the House concurred in the first
Senate proposal of amendment, but re-
fused to concur in the second and third
proposals. Then Mr.. Hopkins OF Bur

its vote whereby it cnnourred in the first
proposal. This was done, but after, some
discussion, the House again conctTred in
the first proposal of amendment.
