Mr. CONKLING. By permission of the Gentfrom Michigan, [MI. BEAMAN] I will say aword in answer to theremurk of the Gentfrom RhdIsland. [Mr. Jason 2s] I have no doubt the House is much indebted to him for the labor, and itmust have been very great, which he has bestowed upon this bill and I beg him to understand that any objection which I have made to it is not designed at all to diminish the credit due to him and to his committee for preparing a bill which contains many very valuable principles and provisions. Nor do I mean to be understood as criticising this bill at large; far from it. On the contrary, I be to say to the gentleman, in the 1st place, that am quite willing forone to vote for a bankrupt bill. I am quite willing to admit, because I believe it, that this bill contains very much of merit, and comparatively very little that is objectionable. at at the same time, with great respect to the committee, having given this subject here tofore a great deal of attention, and knowing as I do the opinions of a great many persons not members of this House whose views are entitled to weight, I cannot convince myself that this bill, as it now stands, on ht to pass finally, or that it ought to pass this House trusting to the Senate to improve it. On the contrary, I think it ought to be recommitted and brought back here the next time withoutcertain features which I for one consider very objectionable. Therefore I shall be glad to vote to reconsider the vote by which this bill was rejected. I think there is a fair chance that it may be reconsidered by the House, if we only can have an understanding that after it shall be reconsidered it shall be recommitted to the committee. A motion to reconsider the recommitment can be entered, which will enable the gentleman to call the bill up at any time. Or leave can be given by the House, if unanimous consent can e obtained, that the gentleman have leave to report the bill back again at an time. Or, in the 3rd place, what I think would be equally acceptable to him, the bill can be recommitted with the understanding that when the committee is again called it can be then reported. The Speaker informs us that that will be in 2, or 3, or 4 weeks, more or less and then the session will be at thatstage, in reference to other business, which I think will give the gentleman as good an opportunity as the present for having this bill considered. I am unwilling, for one, to vote fo, this bill as it now stands. I do not mean to condemn it in its main features; and I am quite willing to vote for it if some objections to it which seem to me to be quite unanswerable are removed.
