After some remarks by the mover in favor of this amendment, and by Mr. RHEA against it, the motion was negatived.

The thirty-sixth, thirty-seventh, thirty-eighth, and thirty-ninth sections of the bill having been read, without proposition of amendment, the Committee, on motion, at four o'clock, rose and reported

SALE OF PUBLIC LANDS.

H. of R.

HEMP AND FLAX MACHINE.

Mr. BUTLER, from the Committee on Agriculture, made a report favorable to the petition of Anthony Dey and James McDonald, praying for encouragement by Congress of their invention for the breaking and dressing flax and hemp, &c., recommending a reference of the petition to the Committee on the Judiciary, with a view to an examination on the bearing of the patent laws; which was agreed to. The report is as follows:

The Committee on Agriculture, to which was referred the petition of Anthony Dey and James Macdonald, report: The petition alleges, that the said Macdonald, at the expense of the said Dey, has invented and constructed a new and useful machine for breaking and cleaning of hemp and flax, in an unrotted state, and that the said Dey has discovered the means by which hemp and flax, after being cleaned in an unrotted state in their machine, may be bleached by a process hitherto unknown; that they believe their method of dressing hemp and flax is of very great importance to the agricultural interest of the country, and, therefore, ask an extension of the exclusive right to make, construct, use, and vend, to others to be used, the said invention and discovery.

From the evidence adduced by the petitioners, it appears that they have invented a machine for breaking and cleaning hemp and flax, in an unrotted state, which is different in its principles and construction from any machine that ever has been used for that

Mr. MOORE, of Alabama, submitted for adop- purpose, and that the said Dey has also discovered a tion the following resolution:

Resolved, That the Committee on Public Lands be instructed to inquire into the expediency of authorizing the sale of public lands by entry, in lots of forty acres. Mr. MOORE spoke briefly in support of his motion on the ground that it would cause some land to be sold which otherwise never would, and would enable honest but poor men to become proprietors, &c.

The resolution was decidedly opposed by Mr. COCKE, Mr. FLOYD, and Mr. HILL, on the ground that the Government had been already sufficiently liberal to purchasers of the public lands; that, if persons were allowed to take out forty acres, including the springs wherever found, the remainder of the land would be of no use but to the owners of the springs, and would be purchased by them at their convenience; that, if the lands spoken of by the gentleman were now unsaleable in larger quantities, it did by no means follow that they ever would be, &c.

Mr. STERLING moved to lay the resolve on the table; which motion was negatived.

The question was then put on agreeing to the original motion, and decided in the negative. So Mr. MOORE's proposition was rejected.

Mr. MOORE, of Alabama, then submitted the following resolution for consideration:

Resolved, That the Committee on Public Lands be instructed to inquire into the expediency of granting pre-emption rights to settlers on the public lands, prior to the day of - 1819.

The question to agree to the resolve was decided in the negative by a decided vote.

process, never before used, for bleaching hemp and flax after it has been dressed in an unrotted state. And, also, it appears by the certificates of respectable gentlemen, who have witnessed the operation of the machine, that it will, by the power of one horse, with the assistance of one man and three boys, separate the integument and wood from the fibrous part of the hemp and flax plants, and clean the same, at the rate of one pound in a fraction of time over a minute, fit for bleaching.

of one machine by horse power, with the attendance The petitioners further assure us, from the operation of one man and three boys, from 1,600 to 2,000 pounds of unrotted hemp or flax, may be cleaned in a day, yielding from 400 to 500 pounds after it is bleached; and that, by the addition of another machine, which can be moved by the same horse, with the addition of one man and one boy more, from 800 to 1,000 pounds may be cleaned at an expense not exceeding five dollars. And the committee are informed by Mr. Dey that one man can bleach 350 pounds of hemp or flax, after it has been cleaned by their machine in a day, at an expense of one dollar and seventy-five cents for the article which he uses in the process.

From these calculations, it appears that any quantity of unrotted hemp or flax taken from the field, where it is raised, may be broke, cleaned, and bleached, at a rate of less than two cents per pound, delivered in a bleached state; and, allowing one cent per pound for the plant, as it comes from the field, the whole cost, (except for the wear of the machine,) in growing this valuable plant, and breaking, cleaning, and bleaching it, will be less than six cents per pound. The committee are not informed what the cost of hatcheling or combing it, (which is done after it is bleached,) and preparing it for the manufacturer, would be, but presume it will not exceed two cents per pound. If

[blocks in formation]

the information the committee have received, and their calculations, are correct, either hemp or flax may be raised, dressed, and prepared for the best manufacture, at an expense of eight cents, and not exceeding in any case ten cents, per pound.

tion of Anthony Dey and James Macdonald, and that it be referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. DUTIES ON IMPORTS.

Mr. SMITH, of Maryland, from the Committee of Ways and Means, to whom the subject was referred, by the resolution, on the 31st of January last, reported a bill supplementary to, and to amend, an act, entitled "An act to regulate the collection of duties on imports and tonnage," passed March the 2d, 1799, and to repeal an act supplementary thereto, passed the 20th of April, 1818, and for other purposes; which bill was read twice, and committed to a Committee of the Whole. The

By the experiments of the petitioners, and others, it is found that flax, dressed and hatchelled in the ordinary way, after it has been dew-rotted, yields nine pounds from one hundred pounds of the plant which has been rotted, being sixteen pounds less than is produced from one hundred pounds of unrotted flax, cleaned and bleached by the method which the petitioners have discovered. But no experiments have yet been made to determine the difference in the weight of the plant, before and after it is rotted; there-bill is as follows:

fore, it cannot now be ascertained how much will be saved, in quantity, by this method of breaking and cleaning it before it is rotted. It cannot, however, be doubted, that the common process of rotting flax, especially by dew, destroys or injures many of its fibres, and, of course, the quality, as well as the quantity, must be, in some degree, diminished.

The committee have examined the machine, and have seen it operate, and believe it will prove one of the most important and valuable discoveries. The committee have, also, examined the hemp and flax which has been bleached in this new method and hatchelled, and find that the colored matter and harshness of the fibres are removed, and that the flax is rendered very white, and as soft and fine as silk. This method of bleaching hemp and flax, it is believed, will be of great value to the grower and manufacturer of these plants.

Considering hemp and flax among the most valuable plants which can be cultivated in this country, and believing there is an abundance of soil in every State in the Union which is well adapted to their culture and growth, the committee are highly pleased with the invention and discovery of the petitioners. If hemp and flax can be raised in this country as easily and as cheap as in any other, and these inventions should prove as valuable as the committee believe they may, the cultivation of these plants will engage the attention of a large portion of the agriculturists, and become exceedingly important to the United States. It may be seen by the statement of the Secretary of the Treasury, of the quantity and value of merchandise imported, that, during the year ending on the 30th of September, 1821, 86,192 cwt. of hemp, valued at $510,489, (being about $120 per ton ;) hempen goods, of the value of $226, 174; duck and sheeting, of the value of $894,276; cordage, of the value of $107,868; and linens, bleached and unbleached, of the value of $2,564, 159, were imported into this country, amounting to $4,302,963, and that the whole value of the exports of domestic and foreign produce of the same kind, amounted only to $822,976, leaving the value of $3,479,187 in the merchandise produced from the hemp and flax plants to be consumed in this country.

As the petitioners desire an extension of time, and further protection than is secured by the patent law in its present form, and as it is the peculiar province of the Committee on the Judiciary to report any revision or amendment of that law which may be deemed necessary, your committee recommend the adoption of the following resolution :

Resolved, That the Committee on Agriculture be discharged from the further consideration of the peti

first section of the act, entitled "An act to regulate the Be it enacted, &c., That the fourth paragraph of the duties on imports and tonnage," passed the 27th of 20th day of April, 1818, be, and the same is hereby, April, 1816, and continued by an act passed on the continued and made permanent.

BANKRUPT BILL.

The House then again resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole on the bill to establish an Uniform System of Bankruptcy throughout the United States.

The thirty-ninth section was read without any proposition of amendment.

The fortieth section having been readMr. RHEA moved to strike out the words "good reason" and to insert in lieu thereof the words "probable cause," in the 12th line of the said section, which, the question being put, was negatived. No further amendment being proposed to that section, the same, with the subsequent sections of the bill, to the forty-eighth inclusive, were read without further proposition of amendment.

The forty-ninth section having been readMr. RHEA moved to strike out the same altogether, which motion was put and lost, without a division.

The fiftieth section, to the sixty-third inclusive, were then successively read without any proposition of amendment.

Mr. SERGEANT proposed to introduce between the sixty-third and sixty-fourth sections the following:

SEC. 64. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the commissioners, appointed under the authority of this act, once in every year to make a report, and transmit the same to the Secretary of State, stating the number of persons who shall have been declared bankrupt, the number and amount of debts proved, the amount of property surrendered and of dividends declared, noting in each case any such particular circumstances as may have affected the amount of the surrender or the dividends, together with the costs which have accrued under each commission, with such general remarks upon the operation of the law, and proposals for its amendment, as may seen to them material.

The proposition was agreed to.

The sixty-fourth section, being the last section of the bill, was then read without proposition of amendment.

Mr. SERGEANT submitted the following, to be added at the end of the fourth section:

"And provided, also, that when the party against whom a commission is prayed for, as herein before provided, shall, by writing, signed and accompanying such petition, signify his concurrence in the prayer thereof, the commission may be issued and proceeded upon without any allegation, affidavit, or proof of an act of bankruptcy having been committed, in like manner as if the same had been fully established."

The amendment was agreed to, with some verbal amendments in the subsequent sections, to correspond with the amendment.

Mr. COLDEN submitted the following, to be

added to the third section of the bill:

have been actually employed in the same business six
hours in the day for which a whole day is to be al-
lowed; and that, where the said commissioners and
clerks may not in one day be employed in the same
business six hours, they shall be allowed only such a
portion of five dollars as the time they are actually
employed bears to six hours; but, in this calculation,
fractions of hours shall not be regarded."
The amendment was negatived.

Mr. WOODCOCK, of New York, moved to strike out the last proviso to the seventh section; which motion was negatived.

Mr. WRIGHT, of Maryland, moved to insert in the bill, as the thirty-sixth section, the following: "And be it further enacted, That any person or persons not entitled to the benefit of this act, who shall have been, or hereafter shall be, discharged by any State law, under the provisions thereof, shall be entitled to the benefit of said discharge, as fully as any bankrupt discharged by virtue of this act.'

Mr. WRIGHT supported the amendment in a speech of considerable length.

Mr. SAWYER replied that the object which the amendment proposed to attain was sufficiently secured in the fifty-ninth section.

The question was then taken, and the motion was lost.

No further amendments having been offered, the Committee rose and reported the bill as amended.

The question was then taken on the several amendments as reported, and, with a modification of the last, they were respectively concurred in.

The question was then stated on ordering the bill to be engrossed for a third reading; when

Mr. TRACY proposed to amend the bill by adding to the first section the same amendment which he offered in Committee of the Whole, for admitting others than merchants to avail themselves of the benefit of the law.

On this question Mr. TRACY called for the yeas and nays, which were thereupon ordered; and decided in the negative-yeas 74, nays 90, as follows:
