Mr. BR.WDEGEE for anything moral y wrong. Suppose he was originally friendly to the very instrumentality referred to the committee upon which he was placed. In the course of the investigation he finds that he had taken a false view of the subject, and changes his opinions because good reasons have been laid before him for that change. Therefore he votes with a majority of the committee to report against the very identical bill that he was at 1st friendl to. Is not that according to the radtice o committees here every day? ome committee has a bill referred to it; they examine it, and report that it does not meet their approbation; they move to amend it by striking out this or that part, or the enacting clause, as they have the right to do. I presume it does not require a wizard to understand that much of paiiliamentary law. Now, then, let me say that, so far as regards the success of the movement, I attach no importance to this question, because the House and the country now know that after the appointment of a committee by the gentleman who made the proposition, a majority of the committee have decided that the proposition is inexpedient and unwise. All we ask is that the committee shall now report the conclusion to which they have arrived; and that, after it has been ascertained that the committee are about to report, there shall not be 2 more members added to that committee to see whether, after a delay of 3 or 4 months longer, the committee cannot be induced to bring in a report satisfactory to gentlemen who are now dissatisfied with the report on which the majority of the committee have agreed. I desire that all the public interests shall have the advantage of the investigation already had. When the report shall have been presented, the Gentfrom Pennsylvania can, if he chooses, have the subject mutter sent to any committee which he may anticipate will decide favorably to the project. I hope that the House will reconsider its action and will decline to add 2 additional members to the committee. I trust that the committee will be permitted to report the result of its investigations which have been continued for 2 months or longer .
