Beok, of Kontucky, at once attacked the resolu- tion, oharging that it was designed sololy to oonble tho approprirtion bills and other moaguros of importanco to be staved off until the end of tho seseion, when thoy could be rushed through without pormitting tho Honse to properly oxamino and discuss them. Dawes replied with some heat, maying that Bock was fond of oxplaining other people's motives, and disclaiming any such intention in offering tho resolution an that which Bock im- puted to him. Ho_said, farthor, that ho had conaulted or advised with no ono as to the ad- visabillty of offoring tho resolution, so that it ‘was plain that thore had been N0 COLLUBION for improper purpose.
