June 3, 1872 House. 



Mr. W. P. PRICE reported back from the committee the Senate 

 resolution for printing 12,500 extra copies of the report of the Smith- 

 sonian Institution for 1871. The House amended the resolution by 

 making the number 20,000, but the Senate refused to concur in that 

 amendment. The Committee on Printing recommended that the 

 House recede from its amendment. 



Mr. L. P. POLAND. I hope the House will not recede. 



The Speaker (Mr. JAMES G. BLAINE). If there is to be a debate the 

 Chair can not entertain the proposition. The House is acting under 

 an order made under suspension of the rules to consider business on 

 the Speaker's table. 



Mr. JOHN BEATTY. I think the gentleman from Vermont [Mr. 

 Poland] had better agree to the proposition to recede. 



Mr. POLAND. No, sir; I have very good reasons for believing that 

 the Senate will concur in our amendment if we insist upon it.
