To the Editor,
Sir Tho President sent into the House
of Representatives this morning, a message
stating .that the Treasury had not available
funds to meet the demands on it, and ask-
ing tho immediate action of Congress on
the subject. The report of the Duelling
Committee, as it is called, came up in or-
der, and Mr, Underwood, of Kentucky,
-having the fioor, spoke for more than an
i t mi .i i i ii a
hour-Mr. Thomas then took the fioor,
and after a very lucid and strong statement
of his reasons for tho motion, moved to lay
tho whole matter on the table, and to print
tho roports of tho majority and minorities
of tho committee, tlieir iotirnal. evidence
and all documents relating to it. Tho vote
' for laying on tho table was, yeas 102-nays
