GENERAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
Mr. FOSTER moved that the Senate adhere to its amendment to the bill [H. R. 422] making general appropriations for the years 1881-3.
Mr. BROWN always doubted the propriety of appropriating more money in this bill that the law provides as salaries; and though supporting the increase, he would not stand one minute in the way of concurring in a report which passes so important a measure as the general appropriation bill.
Mr. GARRIGUS raised a point of order that the report of a Conference Committee must be concurred in or rejected as a whole.
Mr. HENRY voted for the increase in the appropriation bill to prosecuting attorneys, but was willing now to recede,
The motion to adhere was rejected.
