Mr. Footo earnestly suggested tlie
propriety ol having an executive session,
and he said that if debate was continued
he would, though friendly to the resolu
tion, move to lay itou the tablq,

Felcli.

opposition to the resolution, but yielded
the floor to— >
Mr. Foote, who moved the rosolutioii
be laiii 011 the table. And the motion
was rejected—yeas 14, nays 83.
Mr. Walker then resumed his remarks
in opposition to the passage ofthe joint
resolution, and, in conclusion, moved
an amendment allowing the parties ei •
titled to a land warrant to take,iu lien

rant for 100 acres, scrip for It 100; 80
acres scrip for §50; and for 40 acres,
scrip for §25. On this amendment he
asked the years and nays. A few
me miters only rising—
Mr. W. said: Wrll, Mr. President,
this is a very singular course.
Mr. F oote. Mr President, we are
all heartily tired of this discussion.
Mr. Walker. Audi am tired, sir,of
the Senator’s interruptions.
Mr. Foote. I don’t care if he is,
sir.
The ayes and noeswere then ordered

to be engrossed for a third reading ofthe
