s be gratified to have the bill passed. I feel no
interest in it except as representing what I believe to be the
interests and wishes of those to be affected by it. I think the
circumstances are such as to justify Congress in organizing the
Territory, else as representing the committee I should not have
reported the bill. That is all I desire to say.

The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Anthony in the chair).--The question
is on the amendment of the Senator from California [Mr. Sargent],
upon which the yeas and nays have been ordered.

The Secretary proceeded to call the roll.

Mr. JOHNSON (when his name was called).--On this question I am
paired with the Senator from Alabama [Mr. Spencer]. If he were
here he would vote "yea" and I should vote "nay."

Mr. BOGY (after having first voted in the negative).--I rise to
withdraw my vote. At the time I voted I forgot that I was paired
with the Senator from Arkansas [Mr. Dorsey]. I should have voted
"nay" and he would have voted "yea."

The PRESIDING OFFICER.--The vote will be withdrawn if there be no
objection.

Mr. MORRILL, of Maine (after having first voted in the
negative).--It occurs to me that I am paired with the Senator
from Illinois (Mr. Oglesby). If he were here he would vote "yea"
and I should vote "nay." I ask leave to withdraw my vote.

The PRESIDING OFFICER.--Leave will be granted if there is no
objection.
