believed it to be of nr> value. - He was there-, w
lure, cippofed to the resolution. hi
> Mr.- Brookes could not agree with the w
gentleman just fat down. He seconded the fa
motion, because he thought it at once clear gi
and reafqnabl?. He washjmfelf no ways in- w
- t ere (ted in it. These claims had been as
•.much .sett led as they-could he ; and he tho't tl
tbe law for b«rringthem had not been made w
fufficiently public. Instead of giving light w
to .the people from the house top, they had k
Iplaced their light under a bufhcl. With re- o'
fpeft to the danger, to be apprehended from hi
impositions, he did rot think it great, as
the books which were kept at tbe public of- re
sices, were calculated ta prevent frauds, by vj
marginal checks, See. Indeed this f>;bjijft it
was so plain and obvious, that lie doubted w
mst t&e proportion «*«mld fee adopted by a ot
large majority of the committee. fu
Mr. DAVT9N. ( the Speaker) said, the gen- oi
. tleman who (poke last had anticipated most of f 0
what he had intended to offer on the fubjetfl. He
was going to remark, that this particular defcrip- , r
tion of debt did not fall within the realonlng of ln
the committee of claim, on the limitation aits, n(
and that the possessors of it eould have no eipec cf
tation of jitt being barred. In addition to the mar- t
filial cheeks of the ofece books, mentioned by the ■
gfentleman from New-York, there was also a check
letter in tbe hboks and on the certificates, whicb cs
rendered forpery almost impofiible, \fliat bro't in
thin particularly to his ootice, three west? before It
he came frem borne, a f.nr fo).'ier applied to him
with one of these certificates, and another ore
week before he set out, to gn something for them. at
He told them they were barred. Tliey were fur- 111
prized. TJey said they were gie 11 to them at the hi
conclusion of the war ; that they were to have p
received tlieir pay from month to month daring
theirfervice, but that Rattling had beengvsnto
them till the end ef the war, when they rccdv.d 31
rt>ele certificrtcs. They'haJ applied tor siva t.r fix

ettenJetl to ; yet, by a law which had been p si (1,
but known to a few only, tbefe certificates were I
precluded from benefit. He truddd this report\ (]
would not befanflioned. if gentiemen werr a
fraid of speculation, the proposed suspension might
'< »lv be in favor of the raal holders of certificates
who had themselves fcrved, or furniftied fuppliei. a
He Should be fatisfied with this. The gentleman C
from Connefticut (Mr. Smith) lamented that the c
law had been pafled in the way which had been (
mentioned. He jcined him in the lamentation,
and he hoped that gentlemen would join with these
who wilhed to provide relief to these meritorious '
men, —men who were not in a situation to pet any
information with refpe& to t(ie law which barred {
.their claim, and who depended upen their daily r
labor for their fuppnrt.
Mr. Allen said, the gentleman last up,
had given them certain information as to
the checks kept in the' books of the public |
offices, with a view, he supposed, of influen
cing their votes. He wished to know whe- j
ther in those books there was an account of (
the fumi due to these claimants? [Mr. |
Brookes answered there was.3 faid
he (hould not the ijU?"again ft' tHe resolution,
but he fhauld wi(h to confine the benefit In- '
tended to be given to the original holders,
and not to give it to speculators. He tho't
the cafe of thfcfe people hard ; but e«(i!d
n<Jt' {iibfcrihe to the idea, that because th*
law had not been published in a cerTain way
it ought not to be enforced ; since no man
coulij b* t6 be igsorant of the law.
moved to add these words to the resolu
tion, " in certain cases."
'Mr. Jfcid r tb»t when a t»e» Wftf
prosecuted for a breach of the law, he could
not plead an ignorance of it ; btt this did
not apply to the present cafe. The law in
qucflion was little known ; it could not even
be found in the index of their laws. He
himfelf did not know there fut.h a law,
until after it had taken effeft, and then he
had good reason to know it. Last wiutera
certificate was given him to be funded ; but
owing to his being obliged to flop »n the
road some time, from the dislocation of a
limb, he did not arrive till a few after
the claim was barred by the law in question.
ijf the members, then, of that house were
ignorant of the law, how could they expeft
that persons holding these certificates (hould
be acquainted with it. He had also called
at the office of the Commiflioner of Loans,
where he <vas direfted to the Treasury De
partment, but received no information at
that office that the claim was barred. This
being the cafe, he trusted the committee
urould notrefufe to do a« aft of acknowledged
jiiftice. As to the amount of these claims,
they were not ignorant of that; from the
accounts of the Secretary of the Treasury,
it wai 1,124,000 dollars. And to prove
that there was ar\y danger from forgery, it
would be necessary to produce instances of
this kind of fraud. The evil of speculation
would be prevented by the proposed modifi
cation. He trusted, therefore, as it was
called for by every principal of justice, the
resolution would be aeceded to.
was in favor of the amendment
and hoped the refutation would be agreed
to. He had presented a petition the other
day praying that fame provision of this kind
might be made. He held in his hand the
original acknowledgement of the debt, upon
which interest had been paid. The ceriifU
ca-tf was firft sent to him to'be funded ; but,
finding it barred, the owner of it had peti
tioned for relief.
« Mr. Co it hoped the amendment
rtot 'prevail,"as it would ruu counter to all
former laws on the fubjeft, and he trusted
they should not now depart from the prin
ciple heretofore adopted. He was, howe-i
ver, in favour of the resolution itfelf. He
was a friend of Statutes of Limitation ; but
h« would have them fairly made. The law
in qufcftion could Tflot be fufficiently known.
Mr. T. Claiborne called lor the read
ing of the feftion of the law which related
to this fubjeft. If they were to do any
thing in ths-bufiuefs, he should be for doing
complete justice. [The law was read.]
Mr. Alcis had little'refpeft far perfops
who had obtained the pofltfiion of these cer
tificates by speculation. He wished qnly
to relieve the holders; but if this
were not guarded against, the evils which I th<
his colleague (Mr. Smith) had foretold," p;i
would certainly take place. It had been
said, that there had been no instances of for- it
£ery j he mentioned one with which he was co
well acquainted. of
Mr. Elmendorph trusted that the gen- of
tleman who proposed the amendment would th
withdraw it, when he was informed that it th
wa» the praftice to iflue Loan-Office Tic- wi
kets in the names of others than the real mi
owners. He mentioned ooe instance, and th
he knew it was a cominpn thing. de
Mr. Parker was in favour of the
resolution of the gentleman from Pennfyl- Si
vania ; but he would ratlver not pass it than wl
it should pass with the amendme it. He mi
wished not only original holders, but all
others, to have the benefit of the proposed of
suspension. The he said, were N a
originally negotiable, and he saw no reason C<
for depriving them of that quality. It was th
true, that in this cafcy the money might go in]
into the pocketeof a set of men who were w;
not very popular in this country ; but this
could not bie avoided. All limitation laws T
he fiid, were contrary to justice ; but, in
all cafe 3 where it was expedient topafs them, or
care ought to.be taken that no class of men ti<
in particular should be affefted by them.— w
It had been objefted to this resolution that itl
if it pafled, it would open a door to frauds, fu
and chiefly serve speculators ; but it c6uld
not be said that it would place the original lo
holders in a worse situation than they are at so
present, but in a better. He hoped, there- on
fore the resolution would pass, without the th
amendment. • tli
Mr. S.Smith said, this fubjeft had been cl
so frequently agitated in Congrcfs, and the ci
doctrine of difcrimmation so conftantiy decid- oi
ed against, that he wondered it should, at fc
this period be renewed. It was fully tried 1
at the time of commencing the funding fyf- cl
tem. Every poffeffing a certificate,
Ix&re the claim was barred, had the fame In
right to have it funded, faw 110 re&- cl
son why they should now make a diftinftion. ai
He was in favour of the refolutiin, and vi
fhouldhaveno modification of it which would e<
tend to prevent speculation.
• Mr. Thatcher said, thatduring the last, 1
and the present session, he had had certifi- "t<
cates sent on to him to be funded, by his o
eopftituents, telling him, they heard the b
country was about to pay its debts. He ti
told them, in answer, that they had said by o
law that they would pay nothing at all.— t!
This hit friends thought a hard business ; ii
since they were pofTefled of acknowltdg- J
ments of debt, which government had so- ii
lemnly promiftd to pay. This was, how- a
ever, their situation. He was, therefore, r
clearly of opinion, that these people ought fl
to be paid. But there had been a hue and f
cry raised by the gentleman from Connect
ticut, against speculators. He did not think v
this defeription of* men had done the mil- 1
lionth part of the injury ascribed to them, t
He believed" they were in the situation of a 1
certain other personage: for he was giving 1
the " Devil his due but he thought the i
old gentleman himfelf was often highly in- t
j tired, by having more laid to his charge than (
he was guilty of. He thought these <
* feme fpeenhtor* hatftione more good to the I
public, than Congress had done in pas- I
nrig >th< law in quedion. He wished 1
their conduit was fully and fairly examined;
he thought it would bear examination. Gen
tlemen fay, that since lad January (when !
these claims were barred) these speculators
had been buying up this paper from the
holders for a mere trifle. Suppose, said he,
this were true, and they had given an origi
nal holder 43. in th; pound for what he be
lieved to be of no value. Where was the
criminality of this? Was he injuring the
holder ? As well might it be said, that a
than who visits another in prison, and gives
him meat to eat, does him an injury ; be
cause he does this, with an expeftation that
heaven will reward him. Connecticut, he
said, was the last quarter from whence he
_ should have expefted such a doftrine. If
it were right and just that original holders
j should receive that which they have had pro-
I mifed them, he thought those who had Hik
ed the purchase »>f them, in the face of a law
' of the United States, out of mere compas
sion and benovolence to the holder, were en
titled to more. The only ground upon
' which, speculators could build a hope, was
| that congrefi having pafled an injurious law,
would one day be brought to a fink of Jhame
' for having done so, and do justice. Topun
ifh these men, therefore, fur entertaining
' this hope, would be to punish virtue with a
t vengeance. Theft odious characters, fpec
j: ulators, it mull be "allowed, he said, have
some good qualities ; for if they have not
conftantiy fed these claimants on govern
ment, they have at lead kept them from Jlarv
e tag. He (hould, therefore, be opposed to
the amendment.
The quedion on the amendment was put
I arid negatived, there being 10 vote 3 only in
favour of it.

e WEDNESDAY —DECEMBER 13.
n
Mr. Kittera appeared in his feat for the
•> j firft time this session.
The bill for suspending the aft laying a
duty upon damped vellura, parchment and
d paper until the 30th June next, was read
II the third time and pailed.
d According to order, the unfinifhed bufi
-- nsfs of yesterday came before the house j
j when
[e Mr. Allen' moved that the committee of
it whole be discharged from the farther coufi
w deration of the report of the Committee of
1. Claims on the expediency or inexpediency
1- of excepting certain claims from the opera
id tion of the Limitation Afts, in order that
y the report might be referred to the Secreta
g ry of the Treasury. His reasons for ma
king this/motion were stated to be, that sar
is ther information might be obtained with ref
r- pest to the risk there would be in making
[y the proposed exception, and also with rela
ys tion to the manner ia which the law barring
the claims proposed te bceseeptid, had been ™
publifhcd.
On being infprmed by the Speaker, that
it would not be in order to discharge tbe
committee of the whole to refer the report
of a feleft committer to one of the heads T
of departments, but that the committee tf
the whole might be difebarged,- on the fur
ther consideration of the report postponed, ir;
with a view of tailing upon any Depart l -
ment for information, Mr, Allen adopted
the latter mode, and moved that the conli- 01
deration be ppftponed till Monday wgek. of
After a few observations from Me firs. G
Srookes, Gordon, Goodrich and Gelatin,
which were chiefly in favor of the podpone- ' '
ment, the motion wan agreed ta.
A meWage was receivedfronfthe President
of the United States, inclotfng tbe c®py of in
a letter from the Judges of the Supreme IX .
Court of tlje United States, representing
the innonvenienceof theprefent time of hold-!
ing the Circuit Courts in the State of Dela- g°
ware, and requesting it to be altered to the
27th of April.—Ordered to lie on the
Table. ■ P«
Mr. Harper moved the order of the day in
on the bill for the rebtf ot the rwprefenta- cu
tives of William Carmichael, deceased na\
which being agreed to, the house rcfolved
itfelf into a committee of the whole en the
fubjeft, ar.d the bill having been read, an
Mr. Venable moved to strike out the sol- to
lowing words in the,aft, " end also in full pi
for any demand on account of an outfit for him co
on his appo'mtmcnt as Charge dec Affaires, on dt
the 20th day of April, 1790." He thought ea
these words a furplulage, and might do mif
cbief in future fettltment6. It had not been
customary for tbe United States to allow
outfits to officers of this grade, atid there- bi
fore improper to refer to such an allowance. A
This motion was supported fey Messrs. Ni- th
cholas, Rutledge a»d Elmendorph. v^
It was opposed by Meflr*..'Harper, Gal- f
latin, aud 'Pinckccy; «n the -jrourrd that a p:
claim havfng been made so* the' -aHowanCe of w
an outfit, it was necessary, in order to pre- at
vent that claim from feeing hereafter renew- ol
cd, to have a elaufe of this kind in the aft. ly
It appears, that by an aft pafled in July, C'
1790, Charge des Affairs, as well as Minis- aj
ters Plenipotentiary, are now entitled to an 3'
outfit of not more than one year's salary ;
but Mr. Carmichael, having left this coua- re
try in the charafter of Secretary of Legati- fl
on to Mr. Jay, in the year 1782, and had «
the expences of his voyage and eftablilhment I
in a Foreign country (for which purposes
Mr. Pinckney said the outfit was allowed,) t<
it had not been tho't right that he should be C
allowed f»r an outfit. A difficulty occur- tl
red in this hufinefs, whether Mr. Carmichael f
should be considered as Charge des Affaires I
from the year 1782, when he entered upon a
the duties of that charafter, or from 1790, 1
when he received hie new commission. If
he had been confideredintbis charafter from f
the latter period only, it was said he would t
have been entitled to an outfit j but then as <-
he would not have been entitled to full pay <
as Charge des Affaires from the time h« en- 1
tered upoi ihe dHties of-*he office, ndr to ]
the extraordinary charges which were claim- 1
ed. The committee reported the bill, there
fore, agreeably to the report t>f~ the Secre
tary of State, allowing him full pay and ex- 1
traordinary expences, but rejefting theclaim
; for an out.it.
The amendment after a considerable de
-1 bate, was put and carried, 47 to 35.
' Mr. Venable then moved tofirile out the ft
' condfeßion of the bill, which authorized the
' accounting officers of the Treasury to allow to
the reprefentalives of the deceased, at the rate
' of 4,444 dollars and 44 cents annually, from
1 the 20th of May, 1782, to the loth of April,
c If go, He thought the extraordinary expences
1 which had been agreed to be allowed of 8,258
8 dollars would be a fufficient compenfatien his
' extra-services as Charge des Affaires, without
' any additionalfalary, and his salary as Secreta
e r y would be paid at the Treasury, without any
* fpedal act for the purpose.
This motion yjjrs supported by Messrs. Coit
and Williams, and oppofed'ly Messrs. Harper.
Gallatin, S. Smith and Brookes. It was put
and negatived, there only being 24 votes in its
' favor.
Mr. Allen renewed the motion which he
n made when the report on this fuljea was under
is confide ration, to allow an interffl if fix per cent
1 per annum upon the amount whtch^wtuldappear
,e to be due, from the time at which application was
1- made for payment, until the money was paid.
it This motion was immediately negatived with
a out a divifon.
The Committee rofc, the House agreed to the
re amendment, and the bill was ordered to be en
it foffed for a third reading to-morrow.
a- Mr. Venable moved the order of the doy
,j_ 0 n the report of a Sele3 Committee appointed to
:o enquire whether any and what alterations are
necessary in the law, entitled " An A 8 for
it regulating Foreign Coins, and for other pur
in poses." If the House had no objection, he should
be glad if the usual motion for a Committee of
the whole might he dispensed with, and the re
port be concurred in. ,
Mr. Harrison hoped the report wiuld be
committeed, as he was not very well ftirfitd
he with it.
The report was accordingly committed
a and made the order for this day. On
id motion the House immediately resolved itfelf into
a d a Committee of the -whole on the fubjeS, Mr.
Dent in the chair.
