FLOOD SUFFERERS.
Mr. YANCEY moved to take up the bill [H. R. 119] to appropriate $100,000 for the relief of sufferers by the floods on the Ohio, Wabash and White Rivers.
The motion was rejected by yeas, 13; nays, 24.
Mr. CAMPBELL explaining that his negative vote was because he desired to hear from the Senator Committee sent to investigate the ravages of the flood. That Committee has promised a report to-morrow.
Mr. McINTOSH also explained his negative vote. When the bill appropriating $40,000 was before the Senate he vainly endeavored to obtain an increase to $50,000. But now, considering the vast amount proposed to be appropriated by this bill, it ought not to be hurried through.
