Friday, Jan. 23, 185 2:30 p. m. TBE SIATX TtEAfcUF.Y. The Uc:;ee concurrent resolution for an iuveatigaLmiuto the cause ot the Governor failure ton iVe an examination of the State Treasurer's oGce, coming np by direction of the rres oir otlicer 5Jr Mazee in the chair. ifr. II J LUG A63 Mid: J rao?e the adoption of the resolntion. Mr. YOUCQE: We ibould Dot permit political bus to influence our jndgment uwou a isolation of this kind. I think; we do ret lally discharge our doty to oir cmttitutnts when we let a matter of this kind rest without investigation. Tiic public prints of thia and other S atas ara (all of int locations to the effect that there is some itiitg wrong in the Treasury of the Btata of Itdiaca. I am aarpriaed that the najority in this chamber and the other cbau-ber will rest under an insinuation of thia kind. I am alwaja in favor of in 'estivation, and I believe it is the duty ot a politi nl paity, when it wanta to strengthen it a if. to be in favor of an honest and faithful .ovestigation of public officers, although elected by auch party. For one I am soing to tote iu favor of thia reflation, It ha ben put in this shape for the purpose of letting an end to the proposed inveatlgatitn, but I hope there may yet be eiven shape to this matter, ro that the State Treasurer nay be investigate J, and if he hai doce nothing wrong, that be rcay be vindicated. I can't see how any Senator can go to his constituency, and when the question is atked: 'Why didn't jou vote in favor o! investigating the Treasurer of Sac?" only answer: "It was saapicicned that it was a political question ; the Treasurer happened to be membr cf my political part)', and it wai feared there might be disclosures out of which poll t cal capital might be made." We are naturally in favor of supporting the members of onr own party, but when it cornea to a ;netion concerning the financaa of the fctate I think we should rise above party and te in favor of that which will bring about security of the Stita'a money and not try to smother an investigation which the highest authority in the Stata has indicated in a message to the General Assembly ought to bj made. Mr, HILLIG ASS: I nm very glad t3 know that the Senator has foand, "coniin from D-ixccratic source, a resolution which he ran support; but air, the inainuat'.ona he speaks of as coming from the pubiis t ess of the country a?e just such insinuations aa we have had and may expect to have as Ion; as the Republican party exi te ; because it is a party of insinuations, it is a party of charges; and when charges of such a character have come from Republican sources it ill becomes the Governor of tL State of Indiaua Mr. ADKISON (interrupting): I will ask tie eeratorif the Sentinel, the acknowledged organ of the Democretic party, haa tot demanded an investigation of the State lieasurer. 11 BILLIGASS: I am not able to fay whether it has or has not. My time ba3besn eo taken up that 1 have not neen reading the Sentinel editorials, but I will undertake to ray this in beha!f of the Sentinel, that it bae made no charge of corruption, or fraud, ct mismanagement of the public funds against Treaaurr Cooper. But the Senator from Lako Ur. Youche las seen proper to insinuate that it is the purpose of the Democratic side of this chamber to smother an investigation that we de rue to evade an investigation. We don't tbiik an investigation necessary in this matt r, which rests solely upon a chargn made in the pablic press of the country, anil tb at public press the Republican preas. I want to say to the Senator that it has l rove n too unreliable in the past, audi i on't take it as such authority upon which the General Assembly of the State should act in thia matter. I want to say, farther, as I raid the other day, that for two years Govornor Porter, aa Governor of the State, was vested by the statute with authority to make this investigation at any time, and having failed to make that investigation it illy becomes any Senator upon this floor to - hold him up as authority wbv thia investigation should be made, A cd I will repeat that at the time Treasurer Cooper came into possession of this office, the authority upon which the Senator from Lake professes to make thia investigation tad an advisory talk with the State Treasurer and urged him to follow in the footiters of his predecessors in reference to the Stare funds and not to withdraw them from the banks of the city. And la addition I will asy now that Governor Porter at that time was a director of one of the banks, aad in that bank the Treasurer had kept part of the Inn ds of the State of Indiana; hence the G vernor was interested in having these funds kept there. He said it would destroy the credit and cripple the business interests of the city to have the State's money withdrawn from the banks of the city. We have sought to avoid an exposure of this conversation between Governor Torter and the Treasurer of State, but in view of the insinuations that have come to us from the Republican aide of thia chamber that we are wishing to smother the investigation of this oftice. we have felt called upon to show our position by revealing thia converaaticn, and I feel that I betray no contidene in thus relieving the pressure upon the Democratic aide of the house from the ita-nustions made by the Senator from Lake. I advocate as much care over the pxople of the State, her funds and finances, as any Senator upon this floor, and I don't wish any Republican Senator to impugn my motives in coving that this resolution be passed. I stand upon the Democratic side of this rhsirber. and I believe we are more interes edlnthis matter than the Republicans are. If there is any dereliction of duty on tbe part of the Treasurer of State we want to know it. We want to wash our hands and irav onr skirts clear from screening that cflke-for neglect of duty. When the oprcsite side seek to impugn our motives we have a right to resent that imputation. As tr Republican side, through the Senator from Lake, has had its say and I have spoken iu tetalf of the Democratic side, I hope, of this Chamber, I demand the previous quej SEVERAL SENATORS: I hope yoawill i nt co that. Mr. HILLIGASS: I will withdraw it. Mr. CAMPBELL, of Hendricks: I shall ote in favor cf this resolution. When a resolution was before the Senate a few days aco providing for an investigation into the rtt'ce of State Treasurer, I doubted the propriety cf such resolution. I doubt the right of any Senator to Inquire into the action of any public olEcar of State, because I recarded it in thia light: that an officer In any other department of the Government, who takes an oath of office, understands his position, his oath and kia duty, about as well as a member of the Senate, and is as much entitled to act within the scope of his authority as we are to act independently of any other department of the State Government. Bat I found upon the statute book thia proviso Reads, and the Governor having stated in a menage to the General Asiembly that be considered the funds pi the

State not sufficiently -cure, I regard It that the time haa come wheo it is proper for the General Aieembly to adopt a resolution to investigate that question: that we might inquire into it and know whether other legislation is necessary and proper. For that reason I voted for the resolution, and should have voted for it just as promptly, whether the State Treasurer had been of one political party or the other. I don't regard it E3 a poltical que3tion. Now, air, we have co law with which I am familiar which authorizes the Senate to investigate the action of tne Governor of the State, upon that or aDy other question, and especially atser his term of otiice bas expired. Cut we have a precedent on that subject, and that precedent is to the eL'ect that the Legislature may authorize such an Investigation. I recollect in the lessioo of 1S;7, after Governor Martoa had practically retired fr xn the oiSce which he held for six years, a Dsmosratl-J member from the County of Allen introduced a resolution authorizing au investigation into the management of the contingent fund of tb.9 State by Goreruor Morton. Although the resolution bad to be written for th member it was Introduced by him. I am to say the Republican Legislature, having a large majority, adopted that resolution and caused the investigation to be made. With that precedent before me I shall vote again to in vestigate the action cf ths Goyerncr where it relates to the charge concerning the State Treasurer. The investigation into the case of Governor Morton had two good results, one of which I know, and that is, the examination resulted in showing that the accounts had been ccrrectly kept, every dollar was accounted for, and it put a quietus upon the clamor made cpon that subject. It had another gcoi re:ilt asd that is, it was found that the system of keeping accounts was so perfect that ithss bean adopted and followed by the State officers ever since. Believing an investigation if carried oat in good faith according to the terms of this resolution, will bring before this Senate and Legislature information we desire, and that it will report to us the condition of the Treasury, and the manner ia which the funds have been kept; and having the utmat faith in the management of the State's funds by the officers in charge, I shall vote for this resolution, and hope every member of the Senate will d likewise. Let us have an investigation wherever the law authorizes it. Let us know what is done with the people's money as far as the law enables us to inquire into it. Mr. DUNCAN, of Tipton, moved to amend the House concurent resolution by adding thereto the following: "And inch committee shall have authority to teed for persona and papers, administer oaths to wltnee.se. have access to all books, papers, vouchers and document in pose is ton ot ttie Trea-urer of State that pertain to the business of slid officer, and shall make fall and thorough investigation o!

toe conaiuon oi me btate .treasury." It was agreed to without a division. Mr. MAY moved to reconsider the vote just taken. This motion was rejected by yeas, 12; nays, SO. Pending the roll call Mr. MAG EE said: I believe the law is very defective relating to the office of Treasurer of State. I can see no harm to come from an investigation, therefore I shall vote against the motion to reconsider the amendment of the Senator from Tipt in. I vote no. Mr. SMITH, of Jennings, when his name was called, said : I don't believe it is right to investigate any pablic oulce. unless sufficient charges have been preferred against b im by a properly constituted tribunal. 1 don't believe it is right then to investigate the conduct of any public officer upDa mere rumor. The rssol ution just introduced in the Senate was vazae in its character; it had not the merits of a bill of discovery, because in that kind ot an instrument you have to fcttcut the character of the evidence you intend to discover, and for that reason I voted seainst the resolution of the Senator from Wayne (Mr. Foulke).: I am willing to vote for an investigation of the Treasurer of State, cr any other officer of State, when the investigation is placed upon foot by proper machinery and contains specific charges, such as an intelligent maa may base an investigation upon. Tnis whole matter ia predicated upon a message of a Governor of the State, wherein he. by implication, charges that there ia something wroDg in the office of Treasurer of State. We have heard that message read, and we have read it since it was delivered, and I am willing to say that the facta stated by the Governor of Indiana upon that occasion do not justify the conclusion that he drew in his message. I would not investigate anybody upon such a charge. The charge, it stems to me, grew out of something existing behind itsomething that had malice in it; something of the character that plainly shows the people of Indiana that Albert G. Porter and John J. Cooper have had a personal difficulty, and in order to assail him in a message to the General Assembly he did it under cover of a claim that he was doing justice to the people of Indiana by calling their attention to an existing fact; and then to make it appear that he was fair and cot charging an officer with something that did not exist, and that there was no other motive behind, he casts oyer another officer of State a great lot of taffy and dress? i up the Auditor of State in a kind of aMothe Hubbard sort of a dress. Laughter. I don't want anything thrown ia the way o' the wheels of in investigation; I want it t come speedy and prompt and made by th proper persons. Therefore I say this amendment ought not to pass, because if it does the resolution is in effect killed, for it will have to go back to the House of Representatives, and the House has placed itself oa record against that very kind of an amendment. I know there is nothing wrong in the office of John J. Cooper. I know John J. Cooper stands aa fair aa Albert G. Porter, and his record for financial honesty is aa good. Mr. SMITH, of Jay, when his name was called, laid: The Governor eajs to the General Assembly that there should be au iuvestigationof the State fineness. Whether that statement ia founded ucon mere suspicion or upon actual knowledge I do n t know. If the Governor had said there iu fact did exist come trouble I would vote for this resolution and amendment ; but aa he simply casts a suspicion I don't intend tvote for the amendment, and hence I vo:e 1 aye." Mr. WILL ARD, when his name was called, said: The resolution, as it comes from the House, provides for an Investigation as to wbetbf r Governor Porter was correct in the charge he made against Mr. Cooper. In order to have an investigation that amounts to anjthiDg, that committee must have power to send for persons and papers to investigate both. I don't believe in dodging. I telieve In saying, in plain language, that it ia necessary to investigate Governor Porter at the same time. I believe in going to the bottom of it. I don't propose to have it eo out to the people of the Stat I was afraid to have a Democratic officer of State investigated. Applanse. The Senator from Jennings says the result of adopting this amendment will be that the House of Rspretentatives will kill the resolution. I ssy, if there is to be any responsibility for killing this investigation let it rest with the Houe; the Senate will be cleared of it. Therefore, I vote "ro." Mr. MAY: I waa in the chair when my name was called, and I want to say that I made thia motion to reconsider from the fact that there seemed to be some disposition to, and in order that there might be a free expression of sentiment upon this subject, I believe if we are going to investigate, it

orgbt to bea fu'l and a fair Investigst,o,i While 1 am of opinion that the Governor in hie message bas ea'd nothing sufficient to warrant an investigation, yet, as the twu branches o! the General Assembly have dstermined to have an investigation, I want a full, free and fair investigation. For that reason I am in favor of the resolution. The vote was then announced as above recorded, so the motion to reconsider was rejected. On moticn by Mr. FOULKE the House concurrent resolution a; amended was adopted by yeas 41, cays 2. He also moved to rcct rsider the vote just taken, and to lay that moticn on the table. The latter motion was agreed to, and then the Senate adjourned IIOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Saturday, Jan. 21, 1SS3 10 a. m. Mr. MURPHY otfered a concurrent resolution, which wa adooted, instructing Senators acd requesting Representatives in Congress from Indiana to u?e their inQaence to fcecure pensions and bounties to soldiers to the late war, eoas to earn the gratitud8 of soldiers who fought in the Union army. Mr. McMullen's bill. It R. 125, being rend the secone time with a favorable committee report tbereon The SPEAKER said: I will state that this bill proyides fcr but one change-allowing appeals to the Circuit Court from the Board of Equalization. The question as to whether it ia a meritorious bill is not to oe considered now. The bill was ordered engrossed. IKTKRST AND USURY. Mr. Williams 7 per cent, interest bill Ü. R. 11G being read theeecond timeMr. BROWNING moved to strike out "seven" and insert 'eight" in lieu. Mr. WILLIAMS: That would ba folly. That is the statute as it now stands. My bill propctea to reduce the contract rate of interest ficm S per cent to 7. There ia roon foronly two opinions: Eitner the rae ought to be reduced, or it ought to remain as it is. In fairness to that class of people who are demanding a redution in the rate of Interest the bill ought to pass. I move to lay the amendment on the table. The motion was agreed to. Mr. PLEA SAN 18 moved to strike out the word ''seven" and insert in lieu thereof the word "six." Mr. SMITH, of Tippecanoe: This begins to look ct ' like a bill to regulate the price ot money, f ut to drive all the money out of the State. TbeM are a few men on this hoor whose disu.cts are absolutely flooded with money; and where there are men going around cryiDg money to loan at G per cent, and find no takers, lint I have never been in those districts. To-day I have been looking over a echedule of the rate of interest in several States, and we have just aa low as in any other Sta e. Mr. OARTWRiGHT made an Ineffectual motion to lay the amendment on the table. Mr. WILLIAMS: I am eorry amendments have been offered to this bill; either to complicate it, or to make an occasion for members to put themselves on record in favor of a lower rate of interest. Six per cent. Is too much of a reduction. I am certain this clamor for a reduction of interest will be satisfied with a 7 per cent. rate. The fact that these galleries are filled from time to time with laboring men is cot because there is co employment for them, but because there is a financial depression in our cities. It is known there is depression in every clais ot trade; in all manufacturing establishments, and in every city throughout the length and breadth of the land. It has been said that this bill ought to be entitled a bill to drive capital out of the State. Gen

tlemen, that ia the same cry made when the bill vas introduced to reduce the contract rate of interest from 10 to 8 per cent. It waa said no money would remain in Indiana. These objectors were false prophets. No money-lender in the State of Indiana took dDwn his shingle after that redaction was made. I will make the prophecy if we reduce the legal rate of interest to 6 per cent, there will be as much money in the 8 täte of Indiana as there is now. I do hope that this amendment will be defeated. Mr. PLEA8ANT8: I offered the amendment to reduce the contract rate of interest frcm 7 to 6 per cent in perfect good faith. I belieye the time has come when interest can very well be reduced to G per cent. I know a large amount of money lying idle, and if the rate is reduced to 0 per cent, there would be much more money borrowed. Mr. BROWNING : I hope this amendment will not prevail. A very strong reason against it is that there are places wher money will command more than G per cent. Then we have a large school fund loaned at 7 per cent., and this bill would reduce the rate cn the echool fund. If money from outside of the State can be had at 6 per cent, the income from the school fund should not be reduced by the passage of such a bill as the one under consideration. The worst thing we can do for the laboring man would be to reduce the rate of interest to G per cen; Mr. SMITH, of Tippacanoe: Will tb fixing of the rate of interest at 6 or 7 pr cent, bring back prosperity to the countn ? Do manufacturers turn men out of employment because it is a question of 6 or 7 per cent.? The cry is not for a redaction of th rate of interest to G per cent. I am willing to leave the rate as it stands upon thj statute. Two years ago, when I made a motion to make the rate of interest 7 per cent, the gentleman from Knox (Mr. William waa the first man to move to lay it on th. table. Mr. MOODY: It seems to me that the gentlemen in the discussion of this question lose sight of one material fact, the aupph acd demand. An amendment to fix up tbcontract rate rate of interest at G per cent would kill the bill, acd it seems to me now is a gcod time to test the sense of the House on this question as any other time. It seems to me the law on the subject of interest in this State is one of the very best that could be enacted, which provides for a contract rate of 8 per cent. Of course if there it plenty of money to be had it can be borrowed at G per cent. But just aa aure as a G per cent, law is passed money would leave our State, and instead of such a measure as slating the poor man he would be unable to borrow money at all. I am opposed to the amendment Mr. REEVES: I am in favor of getting as low a rate aa can be had, but I don't be lieve it would be beet to pass a law reducing the rate of interest in this State to G per cent. To say the least, G per cent, is a very low rate of interest It is claimed that such a reduction would b9 for the benefit of th poor man. That may be true in one sense, but that class of men are much more interested in the general business prosperity of the country than in borrowing a small amount of money at a low rate of interest. A reduction cf the rate from 8 to 6 per cent would disturb the business of the State. A great deal of the business of our State is done on borrowed capital. If I thought business interests would not be shaken by it I would be in favor of the amendment. I do not fear a reduction to 7 per cent, but I do fear a reduction to G per cent Mr. KELLISON : I am not in favor of the amendment. It would be au injury to the business interests of the Stat. There are thousands of mortgages falling due soon and it would be absolutely impossible to renew their loans unless the lenders could get more than 6 per cent To the borrowing class it would be a positive injury. And while I would be in favor of reducing the rate to G

per cert, if it woold cot drive money away from the State tj places more favoraole, ye't I believe at thia time it would be a bad step to take. I am cot quite sure but that I am in favor of letting the interest law remain as it ia at the present, until a higher authority than the Legislature of Indiana has regulated this difficulty and brought us the remedy until the $ 4' 000 000 of money now rusting in the United States Treasury is set free and sent into the buiinei chaaoels cf thia country Mr. RIYER3: I am in favor of this amendment. Tne fact is the rate of 8 per cent at the present time Is no giving employment to the workingraen of this country. There is a de?ira to give the-n enployznent There is mony not loaned because the business men of ths country eta not af ford to pay 8 per cent, interest If tha money can't be loaned at 8 pr cent, why not reduce the rate to o per cent. ? There is some remedy for the present basiness stagnation, and that remedy 1$ to riduco the rat to 6 per cent. Farmers can't affjrd t pay 8 per cent, ar.d therefore for these, among other reasons. I ara in favor of reducing the rate. Mr. ROBINSON: My recollection is that when the law was changed from 10 to 8 per cent, the same arguments were used by gentlemen who opposed the reduction that are now being used. I desire in my humble capacity to stand for the people of this State, and I am iu favor of the reduction of the rate of interest. I do not believe a reduction will drive from our State money eo we can not secure it I belieye the price cf our products and the price of our labor have teen reduced fully 2 per cent, within the pwt four years, eu that 6 per cent, fully represents 8 per cant, four years ago. The ay from the opposition to the redact on is that we can not borrow on the proposed reduction, but I undertake to say money holders do not loan money unless they obtain good collateral. They require first mortgages on real estate. In justice to the laboring men of Indiana I insist tbe rate of interest ought to ba reduced. Labor and capital are represented as joint partners. The rate of interest has much to do with the amount ot money laborers receive. The former generally dependa, aa has been said, upon borrowed capitaL If they have to pay a high rate of Interest, they have to pay a correspondingly low rate to their help. If they borrow at a correspondingly low rate of interest, they can afford to pay more to their laborers. Tfceresiltof a reduction will prove beneficial to the interests of the State. Mr. SMITH, ot Warrick: It seems to me we ought to reduce the rate of interest on moneys to G per cent. To do justice to the mass of the people, let us make the reduction. I am decidedly in favor of the amendment. Mr. BOYD: Just at this time I think we can reduce the rate 1 per cent., because Eastern capitalists are only asking 7 per cent for their money here in Indiana. I think we can safely enact a law reducing the rate to 7 per cent, but it would be folly to reduce it to G per cent. I would favor voting down this amendment Mr. DITTEMORE demanded the previous question, which was seconded by the Hoase, and under its operations the amendment was agreed to bv yeas, 39; cays, 33. Mr. FISHER moved to strike out the enacting clause, which motion was laid on the table by yeas, 38; nays, 22. The bill waa ordered eogroseed for the third reading by yeas, GO; nays, 12.
