On Thursday last I was necessarily absent from the Senate. suffering from a very severe cold. which prevented my attendance. I supposed I was under a pair with the Senator from Alabama. He did not remember the pair or else I was mistaken. as he voted for the passage of the Chinese immigration bill over the veto. I ask the privilege to be recorded against the passage of the bil. if it is not too late. The PRE D NT protepore. The Senator can state how he would have voted if he had been here.which lie has done. but the vote cannot be received now.
