Mr. MORRILL. Not yet. I do not propose to lose sight of this bill just here if I can elp it. This bill had the consideration of the senate, I believe, fully. The question now is upon concurrence in the amendments of the HoRep. I have not the slightest objection to the bill taking the direction which the honorable chairman who has charge of the bill has suggested and to its going to a committee of conference where it can be adjusted. as the Senfrom California, I am disposed to Does the believe, veryprorly su eats. The bill, so far as it hi3: beeheamen egd by the HoRep, has been in derogation of the interests of the corporators. It was thoroughly discussed in the Senate and I believe the senate will hear me witness that the judgment of the Senate was favorable to the bill. On this question of the exorbitant character of the charge, lam not now in a position to judge. I am half inclined to believe with the honorable Senfrom California that it may be so: but I suggest to him that the power to amend this charter in all particulars, including the subject of charge, is reserved in the bill, so that if the charge is foundto be exorbitant hereafter it can be reached. If it is the judgment of the Senate that this.bill ought to ass, why not pass it now? We have had the deliberate judgment of the Senate once on this measure. My friendfrom Ohio [ML Susanm] thinksit ought not to pass without consideration. We have had consideration. That Senator is opposed to the bill in toto, and the opposition he makes toit, I dare say, is the Opposition of the other day renewed. The bill having once had the sanction of the Senate, unless it is obnoxious to some such charge as the honorable Senfrom California raises in this one particular, I object to its receiving the go by, and I insist that its friends ought to give it a direction which will facilitate its passage at an early day. It should not be forgot ten that it was said on a former occasion that time was essential. Isuggest, therefore, to the honorable Senfrom California to allow the bill to take the direction suggested by the chair man of the ComCommerce.
