So the bill was not passed, two thirds not 

 voting in favor thereof. 



In the House, on June 10th, an amended 

 appropriation bill was considered. Mr. At- 

 kins of Tennessee said : " Mr. Speaker, I am 

 unanimously authorized and directed by the 

 Committee on Appropriations to report a sub- 

 stitute for the bill presented a few days ago 



(II. R. No. 2172) making appropriations for 

 defraying the expenses of the legislative, exe- 

 cutive, and judicial departments of the- ' 

 eminent, and which was recommitted; and 

 I now ask unanimous consent to submit a 

 brief statement, and that the gentleman from 

 Connecticut [Mr. Hawley] may likewise be 

 allowed to make a statement." 



There was no objection, and it was ordered 

 accordingly. 



Mr. Atkins : " The restriction that was upon 

 the vetoed bill, and which created such a con- 

 test upon this floor, is not embraced in this 

 bill. Nor is the appropriation for the contin- 

 gent expenses of the courts of the country, 

 amounting to $2,600,000 or $2,700,000, em- 

 braced in this bill. You will remember, Mr. 

 Speaker, that it was upon that portion of the 

 appropriation bill that the restrictive clauses 

 were placed with regard to the payment of 

 deputy marshals and supervisors of elections. 

 That matter will be embraced in a subsequent 

 bill, a supplemental bill, if I may so style it, 

 a supplemental judicial appropriation bill, 

 which my honorable friend from Ohio [Mr. 

 McMahon] will probably report to-day to the 

 House." 



Mr. Hawley: "As the chairman of the 

 Committee on Appropriations has said, this 

 bill aims to do what was aimed at in the more 

 regular legislative, executive, and judicial ap- 

 propriation bill, omitting what are character- 

 ized as the political sections. Now, we of the 

 minority of the committee, and I might say 

 the Republicans in general, are opposed to the 

 present form of the bill very much opposed 

 to it. The minority would very much have 

 preferred to pass the regular appropriation bill 

 for these branches of the public service which 

 was substantially approved bj*the last Con- 

 gress, which went through this'House and the 

 Senate, came back from the Senate with cer- 

 tain amendments in which the House con- 

 curred, making approval No. 3, and which 

 was again approved by a majority of the House 

 when it was attempted to pass the bill over 

 the veto, which makes approval No. 4. Four 

 times Congress, within four months, has ap- 

 proved the legislative, executive, and judicial 

 bill, which, minus the politics, we should have 

 preferred to take because of its very much bet- 

 ter form, because of its clearness in doing the 

 work aimed at. It contains, as has been stated 

 sufficiently, no political matters of the kind 

 ordinarily described as such, and we finally 

 rather consented to its passage than approved 

 of it." 



Mr. Atkins : " I now move that the rules be 

 suspended and the bill passed." 



So the bill was passed ayes, 187; noes, 22 ; 

 not voting, 77. 



In the Senate, on June 14th, the bill was 

 considered. 



Mr. Beck of Kentucky said: "Mr. Presi- 

 dent, I am instructed by the Committee on
