I am not insensible of the notice which the President takes of the unbounded confidence which many members of the House must have had in my integrity and judgement. Although the President had, as he assarts, for a long time endeavored, by personal appeal and by letters, to have the House refuse to enact the provision now so obnoxious to him, yet the members accepted the judgment of myself and of the three other members of the committee on appropriations as to the propriety of a legislative provision in preference to the conclusions of the President. Indeed, what higher compliment could be paid me than to have the admission mads that the House 'without having had the opportunity to know very much of the rights or wrongs of the as the President says, unhesitatingly accepted the judgment of myself and of my thre- colleagues, although only one of us. in the President's opinion, had made any real argument in justification ot our position."
