Mr. Morton moved to take up the bill relative to the MeGbanagan claim, which was post- poned indefinitely at the last session Some discussion ensued on the motion. seve- Tal Senators maintaining that a bill which had been indefinitely postponed could not again be taken up. Mr. Davis read trom Jefferson’s Manual that the motion to postpone indefinitely was of American origin Barclay’s Digest indicates that in the House of Representauives 8 motion to postpone indefinitely only disposes of the matter for that session. This is by a specific rule of the House. Inthe Senate there is no specific rule on the subject, bat according to the manual the practice of the House seems to be the general principle of the Parliamentary law which bears on the subject. He (Mr. D) could not regard an indefinite postpouement ‘a8 equivalent to rejection. Mr. Fessenden coincided with the view take by Mr. Davis, and held that this bill came as unfinished butinese. This bill bad been in- definitely postponed the last night of the last session without any explanation being made of it. ‘Mr. Stewart believed there never was a bill betore the Senate in regard to which such an erroneous impression prevailed. Mr. Sumuer said the unbroken usage of the Senate had been to consider an indefiuite post- ponement as a final disposition of it for tha: Congress. Mr. Sherman asked for the reading of the 21st Joint rule, which provides that such matters as ure left unucted on at the end of a session may be taken upat the next session asif no adjourn- ment bad occurred. Pending the discussion, the morning hour expired, when the Chair stated that the unfin- ished business, being the bill relative to the Cevtral Branch Pacific railroad, was before the Senate. Mr. Sherman moved to postpone the unfin- ished business for the purpose of takiag up the bill relating to the public debt and currency. Mr. Howard appealed to the friends of ‘the Pacific Railroad bill to stand firm aud vote against its postponement.
