I hope that that motion will not prevail There are. I think. matters on the Calendar of very great importance pertaining to the Central Pacific and other Pacific railroads. the bonds of which will mature on the 1st day of January proximo. and it seems to me that the time has come for this Congress to act. and act promptly. Therefore I hope the motion of the Senator from Massachusetts will not prevail. I favor the immigration bill. My objection is not designed to delay the passage - of that bill in the slightest. but I think the other matter should have precedence.
