512 APPENDIX. 



In the Senate. 

 Monday, May 24, 1880. 



Mr. Morrill. "I ask the Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Beck) 

 to allow me to call up a bill that will receive (I have no doubt) the 

 unanimous assent of the Senate. It will not take up five minutes; 

 and as the bill the Senator proposes to take up will probably occupy 

 all the morning, I ask him to allow me to get up the bill for a 

 monument to. Joseph Henry, to be erected in the Smithsonian 

 grounds." 



Mr. Beck. " I hope I shall not lose my place by giving way." 



The President pro tempore. (Senator Allen G. Thurman, of 

 Ohio.) "The Senator from Vermont asks that the Senate proceed 

 to the consideration of the bill (Senate No. 1702,) for the erection 

 of a monument, in the city of Washington, to the memory of Joseph 

 Henry, late Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. Is there 

 objection ?" 



Mr. Yoorhees. (Senator from Indiana.) "Let the bill be read 

 for information." 



The Chief Clerk read the bill (Senate No. 1702) entitled "A Bill 

 for the erection of a monument, in the city of Washington, to the 

 memory of Joseph Henry, late Secretary of the Smithsonian 

 Institution." 



The President p-o tempore. "Is there objection to proceeding 

 to the consideration of this bill ? 



" The question is on the motion to proceed to the consideration of 

 the bill named by the Senator from Vermont," (Mr. Morrill.) 



The motion was agreed to ; and the Senate (as in Committee of 

 the Whole) proceeded to consider the bill (Senate No. 1702) for the 

 erection of a monument, in the city of Washington, to the memory 

 of Joseph Henry, late Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. 

 It authorizes the Regents of the Smithsonian Institution to contract 

 with W. W. Story, sculptor, for a statue in bronze of Joseph 

 Henry, late Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, to be erected 

 upon the grounds of that institution ; and appropriates fifteen thou- 

 sand dollars for this purpose, and for the entire expense of the 

 foundation and pedestal of the monument.
