Mr. DAVIS. I trust that the House will not concur in the amendment. This is certainly a perfectly fair and honest claim as honest as any that has ever been advocated on this floor by the Gentfrom Illinois, [Mr. Wasn BURNE] and he never defends any but honest claims. It was included, as I understand, in the estimates of the Dept. This money is honestly and legally due, and I am not ready to repudiate any honest obligation of the government. I am asmuch disposed as the Gentfrom Illinois to take care of the peoples money, but I desire to pay some little regard to the peoples honor., MB. SPIEVENS. I concur in the view of the Gentfrom NewYork, and I therefore move that the House noii concurin the amend ment.
