Eaiürbay, Feb. 23,1555-9:00 a, m, ASSISTANT iECEETAKY. The Lieaterant Governor laid before the Senate the resignation of Henry CHoffstuur, Ais!s:ant Etcretary of tte Senate, and statt d that by request of the Democratic caucus te would appoint J. D. Carter, of Orange County, to fill the vacancy. On ruction by Mr. HilHg&ss, John D. Carter was elected Asistant Secretary for the remainder of tbe session, the ballot resulting 12 votes for Mr. C, who was sworn in by Jade Pierce Nörten, of the Marion Criminal Court. COIff;F.FS:05AI- AI TOLTIOXMEST. Tte Apportionment bill for Congressional purposes H. K. 122 see page 20C was real the rst time. Mr. WILLAKD moved that it pass to the conti reading without reference to a committee. Mr. FOULKE moved to postpone its farther consideration till Friday. Mr. WILLAKD demanded the previous .uts:ien. The demand was seconded and the main ;urit!cn ordered put by yeas 25, nays 15, and under its operations Th motion to postpone till Friday wai rejected ty yeas 17, najs 20. The motion that the bill pais to the second reading without committal was agreed to by as LS, i. ay a 13. K.VUSTIOITION Ol' SENATE OFFICERS. Mr. CAMPBELL, of St. Joseph, moved that the report of the Committer on the Investigation cf the Officers of the Senate, subiitud yesterday and made a special order fcr this hour, te concurred In. Mr. WILLAKD moved that the report lie on the table and the committee be discharged. Mr. FOWLER understood one Mr. Buslcirk bad drawn Eome $200 more than he ought to. If that be so, be wanted to know why it was not mention 1 in tbe re. port. Mr. CAMPBELL, of Et, Jcseph: The report did net täte the names, but stated there were two clerk? who bad overdrawn. The UEUTENANC GOVERNOR: Why was the rame of Mr. DnibuLiki put in? Mr. WILLAKD withdrew his motion to lav on the table. Mr. CAMPBELL: We found no ppec'al irregularity in the pav of Mr. Dembifaki, but in crder to show that the committee Lad made a thorough examination it seemed right to date how and why the money had ben paid. The committee did not think it was it function to name others. Mr. FOWLER questioned whether this report was not a refiectien upon every erap!cve who was in the service of the Senate, ccd the report ongt to be recommitted, ' with instructions to insert the naoies of the persons who have been drawing money from the State Treasury without authority of law, lie made that motion, and that the committee be in&trnsted to report whether or not tbe overdrawn money has been returned to tfce State Treasury. Mr. MAY: The repcxi will show the overdrafts and the return of j. neys, Mr. ADKISON: If tht import shows that, why has it not been read? Mr. MAY : I have no objection to its being read. Mr. MAGEE: If, as the report shows, that r.nearued pay has been received, the persons . receiving are liaole to prosecution. The iej ort is vtry full. So far as the Assistant Eec:etaryis concerned, the jurisdiction of tte Senate is at an end. The LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR: The whole of the report has not been read. Let it be read for the information cf alL Mr. MAGEE: Certainly; but I think the retort cueht to be concurred in. The LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR: Will yen have it read first? Mr. MAGEE: Yes sir. After the report was read The LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR eaid: I ttculd like a personal explanation of this matter. I have been in the habit of signing all warrants. The law makes it my duty to approve all the Senate warrants, as you kcow. It ia impossible for me, undar the circumstances, to ascertain the correctness of the warrants. I relied altogether upon the Assistant Secretary to keep the books, and I asked the Secretary to be exceedingly carefal that there was not a single dollar paid to any employe in advance. He stated that te posted the books every night so there could not be a mistake. I regret very much that I have trusted to him in this natter. I fe?l that the law ought to be charred so that the presiding ofSser, if compelled to be responsible to any extent at all, should have the say who shall be the clerk to draw warrants. I say to Senators now, I would not have signed a single warrant to pay any employe or any Senator In advance. I feel it is contrary to law. The law pays so much a day. If a Senator had leave of absence to go to his home for a week, and desired to draw his pay for that week. I feel it my duty to sign the warrant. I feel that the Clerk has maia a great mistake in this matter. I know he has been pressed on all sides with anxiety to draw pay. I urged him to see when a party called fcr a warrant that he had authority frcra the Secretary of the Ssnata or the bookkeeper to draw the warrant. I am not ia favcr of paying everybody who wanU to come up here and loaf around the hotels un-. Jess they perform service. I will siy fur tfccrlwant the new Assistant Secretary to understand that I shall sign no warrants for tte ray cf any employe or Senator in adxsnce urless they have leave of absence frcm the Senate for the time they propose to te paid. Mr. CAMFBELT., cf St. Joseph: Ej some mis rake the Clerk has failed to put in tha ttattactnt of overpaid employe?, whicb unit tentionallr has been left cut. I ask that it rxay be arpended to the report. It was so ordered by consent üü? Mr. CAMPBELL, of SL Joseph, otTered the followirg: R?solTed. That the Present of the Senate to rcquettcil to teke uct ?tioii as may be ntces-sar to rave tbe coneys covered cnch tnto tbe treasury that bare been illegally paid to oCicers or ;mj'icyat darin the present session ot trie Senats. Mr MAGEE: The President of the Senat orcLt tot to b required to do this. The law rtplrci that the duty of the Attorney Oeaml cf the Stat?. Tne Treiident of taenale can not take any official action. Mr. IIuCstet:er is outside of the jurisdiction of the Sec&te. It can't put its band on him. Mr. Campbell withdrew his resolution. Tfce report of the committee was concurred in. Mr. CAMPBELL now offered his resolution, with the Attorney General substituted fcr the President cf the Senate. The resolution was adopted. A1FELL1TE COURT. Mr. AfcCUL LOUGH, from the special committee therecn, returned the substitute tor the bill S 45 see pages 175 and 210 with jercrcmecdaticns. Jti repcrt was ccricurre d in, the till or

The bill H. R. 423 see pages 172 and 210 toredistrict the Stale for Senatorial aid representative purposes, was read the first time. Mr. HILLIGAS3 moved that the bill pass to the second reading without reference to a committee. Mr. FOULKE moved to reject the bilL fiThe motion to reject the bill was rejected by yeas 1C. nays 27. Mr. SELLERS, explaining his negative yote, he desired to r.cceod the bill. Mr. FOWLEP., also: I could not Huppert that bill in its present shape, but I understand it ia to bs amendid; therefore I vote "no." The question rcurriri! on th? motion t pass the bill tc the steend rei'ÜLg without committal Mr. WINTER moved to refer it to the Cernmittee cn Legislative Apportionment. Mr. WILL ARU demanded tbe previous question. The demand was seconded bythe S?na and the main question ordered by yeas 27, navs 1"). The motion to refer to the Legislative Apportionment Committee was rejected by yeas 1, nays 27. The motion that the bill b8 passed to the Eecond reading without committal was agreed to. r.ILIZF OK LOSEF.3 IN TRUST FUNDS. The bill H. R. 3ee page 110 for the re I:ef cf eight Trustees in Marion Countv, was reed tbe second time, with a favorable committee report. Mr. YOUCH: It s?ems to me this measure ought to be cut off at its earliest Btag?. I can't think the Legislature will rsleise parties from default on official bonds. If this practice is established every man who is a defaulter will come here for relief, and we might as well pass general law for relief. Sureties should understand that the signing of a bond means something. Tho report should not te concurred in. Mr. SMITH, of Jay: I am informed this bill applies to Marion County, where certain Township Trustees had township fandi in the banks that failed in this city last fall. The rule of law is that Towdsoid Trustees are the absoluta insurers of money in their hands belonging to the township. They arc not sureties as bailees. With this extraordinary rule of law, it is nothing more than fair to pass this bill, if the people in those townships ask the Tru9tf es shall bo relieved because thete Trustees used doe diligence by placing the fands in what wa3 suppO:ed to be secure banks. Mr. BAILEY: The purpose of this bill i? to afiOTd relief to eight TruEteeb of this county becaose they Ion funds belonging to the township, on deposit in the banks taat have failed in this city in the past eighteen raonthj. In every case the school fur.d hai been paid in, snd'is intact. Th?re are to thirds of the taxpayers in the several town ships petitioning in favor of the p-iäiae of tbe bill. Perbaps in th cold letter of the law under decifeions of tha Supreme Court this is not a legal claiai. but these men inl no better place to put th;s money, for Ihne. banks had been consMäred soivent for thirty years, end, with but one xceptiou, no io tereet hss ben rfesived by any of nes Trustees, and in ttat instance he deducted the interest he received from his pay a Trustee. Mr. Bailey subaiiited a detailed statement of the lcsses by thess several Trustees. They are among tbe bet ciiizsr: in the county, and if their neighbors ?k that tbe burden be p'aced upon them, it but right the Legislature should allow thai to he done. Before he had concluded The Senate took a recess for dinner. AFTERNOON SESSION. Mr. BAILEY resumed and conclude 1 his itemized 8tarenient. Mr. McINIOSH: If the Senator had not attempted to laso a part of the Senate holding over, I rrobably snould not ha7e said anything. Where are the taxpayers who do not represent much wealth in these townships? In these hard times and low prices for prodecs and stock this bill ask3 the taxtayers to make up for losses sustained by the failure of banks. I intend to vote against this bill. Mr. OVER3TKEET: If this was a ca39 in court I feel that I could successfully defeat some cf the allegations made in this case. I undertake to say these bants were interestpaying banks. I understand most of . the money lost was lost in the Indiana Banking Company, and other banks would not hold the checks oi that bank over night for months before iU failure. It is said a large majority of taxpayers have signed these petitiors. There are some eight or nine of these Trustees, and their bondsmen are a much larger number, and we know how petitiens of this kind can be gotten up, es pecially where there are sa many bondsmen. Tbes petitioners ask us to compel those who 'are unwilling, to help to pay these Iosse3 many of them unable to pay. This would be one of the most dangerous precedents ever established, ard the bill ought not to pas3. Mr. WINTER : If I was to consult my own feelings, I would keep silent and vote for the bill. I have no rieht to regard what niignt be considered as popular in my locality. It was never intimated before the election that this measure of relief would b presented to this Assembly, and so the people did not express themselves upon that qne?tion. Although petitions were circulated previous to the election, two weeks b-fore this session commenced was the first tirua I knew of them. These measures should be decidbd upon what is rignt and just. Th? la hold each one of these Trustees liable for every cent of this money. Reads the ncti to section f)!01 of the code. J Tha law says the Trustee is answerable for every dollar, and has ur.disputed right to do with the moaey as he plea c3, answering ouly for ths priaci pal. If bills of this kind ara passed, then will be no security for the public funds. Titcare cf public moneys is one of the most sac red trust3 ot the Legislature. Bat I don'i propose to re3t this care upon a bira legal preposition cnly. Every one of these Tru? tees placed this money ia the bank to cb trJn interjst, and d:d receive ifitreji with perbap? one or two exception?. I took the trouble to go to the books of thtbrte tanks now in the hands of receire-. and I am speaking from the rrcor-J witt. relerecce to these facts. Thre hod their ac counts in Fletcher A: Shsrpe's Rink. Wiier men ccme with arMdavits, such aj those nre sented here, trilling with tha law, they hav? no ri?ht to receive any consideration at tbf hands cf the General A??emdy. dead? seme of the affidavits and figures and date?from bank books to refute them. A number who signed these ptti'.iois have com to ne acd said they were induced to sign tlnu) under misrepre sentation. I make the a? sertion there is no precedent in the statute bcok for any such bill as this. It is not the amount of money to be taken from tbe taxpayers twice in itself, although a consider able sum -?20. 000 but behind that is the Treasurer of this city with s jree .i0 0X, thr Treasurer cf this county with some ?2) 0f0 acd the Clerk of this court with soaie 13 -tCO, and the Treasurer of Greene County tome $.C00, all of whom roald come in under a bill similar to this. The establishment of such a precedent should be stopped. Mr. BAILEY: There is no analogy to the the county otficers rererred to, as none of them come here with two-thirds ot the taxpayers willing to take this burden from their shoulders. Mr, YOVCHE made an ineffectual moti?a

Tes. rays, If to indefinitely postpone tbV bill. v Mr. ADKIEON, explaining: I have invariably voted against indefinitely postpouleg every measure. I desire erery bill be decided upon its merits. I therefore yote no." Mr. BENZ, when his name was called, said: I don't think it right to postpone this bill Indefinitely. We have had worse bills than th!a. I think this bill ougat to have a show. I think everybody ought to have a show In this Senate, therefore I vote "no." lir. FOWLER (explaining): I had not fully made up my mind as to how I should vote until alter I heard this discussion. I have teen asked about this measure, and I etated if these Trustees came here with a petition eubitsn?ially representing the taxpayers cf the several townships interested, I should vote to relieve them, but after listening to the argument cf the two Senators from Marien, especially Judge Winter, I am very prefcundly imprp83ed that this bill ought not to pais, th refore I vote "ave." The vote was then announced as above. Mr. BAILEY made an iuerieciual motion yeas, 11; cays, 25 to concur ia the report of tbe committee. Mr. McCULLOUGH, explaining: Th're may be cases where it is right fcr the Legislature to relieve Township Trustees, bat tfcey ought to bs extreme exceptions t the rule. I am unwilling to vote any mora m favor of these private matters until there is a record made cn the ground on which we vote the appropriation. Tuere wa3 connected with the matter of this kind two years ago a good many other matters, and now it is cited as a general precedent. I fesl that I can not vote for a precedent like thit. I vote " no." The vote was then aunnnncpd a abn?. On motion by Mr. YOUCUE tbe bill wa laid on the table by yeas 24. nays 10. The Senate adjourned till Monday at '):Z0 o'clcct a m. EOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Saturday, Feb. 2S, 1SS5 9 a. m. The SPEAKER: A resolution was under diECUESion at the clcse cf the session lst night, calling up bills to day, on a call of the counties, on the third reading. I suggest that some of you get together and prepare a resolution wh'ch shall make a call of counties from d? to day a? we have time, and that members be allowed to name one bill for consideration. By that means oyer 100 House and Senate bills can be considered, .i. may claim. The bill 3. 17s -tea page 141 allowing the

widow cf Edwin May 510,000 for architect eervices of the deceased on the new S'.a'e. House was read the first time. Mr. GORDON: I move that further consideration of this bill be indefinitely p jt pored. It is ciaimed among architects thv' their plans belong to them; bat in this canMay became pressed for means and eecnreu tccney on the plans Ironi the State HonsCommissioners, so he really had n further claim against them. Of coursMrs. May is in unfortunate circumstances, but so are thousands oi wemen in Indianapolis. To pay her thv claita would be to give away $10,000 of th people's money. There is not a single parti cle of evidence to justify the claim on a sir gle dollar of iL The State Hous9 Commissionersor one of them told me tha May received every dollar be was entitle ! Xa, and they could pay him no more au Ja tLeir bonds. Mr. WILLIAMS: I introduced a bill iik this written by Governor Hendricks by rennest and I am willing to cive it fair consideration. I have no special pride in it. Oae cf the bills the House or the SenAte bill should bo investigated. I do not care to kill the measure at this time. 1 am cot that discourteous to this House. An attempt was made by the last Legislature to pass this claim, but by a technical error it iailed. The bill was" written, by some cr.e's mistake. "Be it resolved," instead of 'Be it enacted." Something has. been said here abcut the State House Commissioners, but there are further mean3 of investigation. Mr. HA KRELL: Why is thii claim for Mrs. May, instead of Edwin May's administrator? Mr. WILLIAMS: Because there was no estate to administer upon. Edwin May spent his all to prepare these planS. It cost him ?17,000 to prepare them. Mr. GORDON: Will the gentleman tell this House why this claim is even-rounded $10 000 no fractions of dollars no cents? Mr. WILLIAMS: Of course. If the gentleman from Putnam had been consulted in this, he would have made it O'JO.'JO; but, as a fact, at Edwin May's death it was found that lila services to the amount of 10,000 were unpaid. Mr. PATTEN: Was not a new contract made by the State House Commissioners at May's death? Mr. WILLIAMS: No. The building went right alorjg under May's plans. Mr. PATTEN: Did not May receive IV 8 contract price 2 per cent, of the monay ex pended? Mr. WILLIAMS: In round numbers L) received ?27,0OO. That is on record he?, but there is no profit on a building at its beginning for an architect. Mr. GORDON: Did not May take up part" cf plans of other architect! for the building? Mr. WILLIAMS: He did, bot at the order of the State-house Commissioners Mrs. May has had trouble enough to get jnst:ce. Without undertaking to cut any one else on frcm debate. I move to lay the motion to indefinitely postpone on the table, and upon that I derrand the aye- and nays. Mr. BROWNING: That is gag law and should not be tolerated. I hope the motion will be withdrawn. Ttie SPEAKEK: That may be. bat it is parliamentary law. I um p 3 series 3. Mr. WILLIAMS: I insist on my motion. It wai agreed to by yeas öS. nays 29. Mr. BOYD: Because a preceding Legislatere thought it right, and because the besr. authority in Indianapolis say the claim is just, I vote "aye." Mr. BROWNING: As I said days ago 1 believe this a clean cut steal. While I think as much ol Thomas A. Hendricks as aoy man, I do not care for hi3 recommendation on tnis. I think for myself. I hold here in my hand the original contract, signed b; (Jcverncr Williams and Mr. May, which cill? for 2 per cent, and $G,0öO. That shows hh truth of it. I am here in the interest of th1 taxpayer of the State. I vote ' no." Mr. COI'EL AND: Because I believa In fair play and thorough in vestigation, I vote 1 ave." Mr. C3KY: This will be no hasty action. Our r.iicds are male up, aal I protes. c:airst this bncging in of tne names of prcminent mea in this debate. I have taken tte pains to eend for the bill, and I say Mr. Hendricks did not write a syllable ot it. I vote "no." Mr. DITTEMORE: I am told by tbe State House Commissioners that the claim is just, and I vote ''aye." Mr. ENGLE: Without intimities bew I shall vote on tbe final passage of this bill in fact I do not now know but in order to hear more of it. I vote "aye." Mr. GORDON: I do not believe that Governor Hendricks or Governor Porter would care to have their names drawn in here as supporting this claim. It is not true. I vote "no." Mr. HANLON: As a membar of the Committee cn Claims, I can say that Governor Hendricks did meet wUh ih? commit'.ee and

urge thf payment cf this claim in strong language, as did the members ot the State House Commission. I vote "aye." Mr. HARRELL: I came here as a stranger, and sit in the hearing of this bill as an Impartial juror. That it may be folly discussed, I vote "aye." Mr. HAYDEN: That It may be investigated, 1 vote "aye.' Mr. HELMS: I investigated this two years ago, and believe it a just claizj. I yo:e 'aye." Mr. HO BAN: I believe this bill would tave been auowed by the last Legislature but for one word. I know nothing of the claim, and can not now vote intelligently. I have no axe to grind, but wish to learn what inav be tbes:de of justice. I vote "aye." Mr. KELLISON : From all the light I can get noon this claim, I conclude two thing: The claim ia too large, bat the laiy is entitled to something. I a order to put the bill in a position where it may be cut don and passed without equivocating, or wbers I may amend it, I vote "'aye." Mr. LOOP: As a member of the Committee on Pub'ic Buildings, I must say thit the State Hocce Commissioners favor allowing the claim, but they do say we do notowe the claim; that it was all paid according to contract. I vote "no"-and shall vote so to the end. Mr. IX) YD: It has been said that Governor Hendricks and Governor Porter are in favcr of tnis claim. So is Mrs. May. But it is our duty to Etand here opposed to th claim until it is proven good to us. Bat I am not in favor of cutting off investigation, so I vote "aye." Mr. MAUCK: As I do not favor shutting off inveitigation, and without indicating how I shall vote at the last, I vote "aye." Mr. MOODY: For tha reason that we fceve no Court of Claims in this State; for the reason that the Sonata, after thorono investigation, passed it, and fcr the reason that I hold in my hasd the writ ea and sijzr.ed statement of the State House Com misaioners that we ewe this claim, I vot? "aye." Mr. MOSIER: For the reason that I have thoroughly investigated this and at one time voted for it; fcr the reason tnat I have found no n an with a good reason why it shou'd not be raid, I vote "aye." Mr. McCLELLAND : For the rea3onthat we mav thoronghly investigate I vote "aye." Mr. PATTEN: For the reason that on a fquaie and fair vote in the Ssnate this measure was voted down and then by some means worked through; for the reason that tte House two years ago squarely voted aeainst it, and then for some reason unknown to this body passed it; for tho reason that the administrator 9f the late Edwin May did not bring suit for it, because the estate owed men for money for tbe comforts of life; for the reason that this c'aim has no bill of particulars; in view of all these facts I shell vote "no." The SPEAKER: I must say-and I don't refer particularly to the gentleman from Sullivan (Mr. Fatten) that this thing of exp'aining votes is degenerating into speeches and I shall hereafter call gentlemen thus diprcssing to order. Mr. TASSAGE: I am not prepared to say whether this is a just claim ot not, but believing in treatins bills against the State respectfully, I vote "aye." Mr. PENDLETON: For the reason that misstatements have been -male here concerning this claim, and that further investigation may te had, I vote "aye." Mr. SEARS: Because the Senate has investigated and passed it, and that we may further investisate, I vote "aye." Mr TOWNSEND: For the reason that we may investigate, that we may vote for it if it ip justly due, 1 vote "aye." The vote was then announcad as above. So tbe motion to lay on the table wa3 agreed to. Mr. GORDON: I move to recommit this bill to the Committee on Ways and Means, that they may examine the State House Commissioners under oath and obtain from them, if possible, an itemized statement cf the debt owiDg to tbe late Edwin May or Mrs. May. and report to this House on Monday next. The molicn wa9 agreed to yeas, 74 ; nays, 0. rOlLEP. IKSTECTOR. Mr. Murphy's bill H. R. 2CS being a special crder for this hour, was read a second time and ordered engressed. INSANE CRIMINALS. Mr. Ergle's bill H. K. 170 relating to persocs who, after committing crimes, are declared insane, that they muit ba sent to an asylum, was read the third time. Mr. HARRELL: The bill is fatal in this: If a man commits a crime and is not tried for eome time, then when he may become sane he may be tried and found in3ane at the time the crime was committed. Undar this bill no further trial shall be hai as to bis eanity at the time tbe deed w3 done and the defendant, though he may now be sane, will be sent to an asylum.

Mr. TAYLOR: We want no Kentn ky spectacles here that of shooting down judges and their slayers at large as insane The laws prole ct mea as to eanity. In any trial tbe man's sanity is on trial before the jury. This bill provides that tobe sent to the asylum the man must be insane at trial time. Mr. ENGLE: This bill corrects an evil wh'ch has long troubled us. If a man is rent to the asylum after committing the crime he can not be liberated until a jury hei rs the testimony and passes upon hi3 sanity, and the ofiicers of the institution can not liberate him at will. He must be takan back to the county from which he wa3 sent fcr trifd. Tbe bill passed by yea3 -53, navs2S. Mr. BROWNING explaining his vote said that te opposed it bfcanie it changed the law which declared a man innecent until proven guiHy. Mr. BEST in explanation of hl3 vite said be favcrtd it because it tucccjafully me' a lisfect in th present law. Mr. GOODING, when his name was called said trat be b?levcd it contained a defect as to a man's raoity at the time of the commifsion of the crime aud at the time of the trial. Mr. HABAN voted "no1' because of the defect as mentioned by the gentleman who prrcf ded him. Mr. KELLISON said that because if there was blowing hot and cold in these cases, it was a fault of the courts, and for its defect he voted ' no." Mr. MAUCK, hen his nama was called, said he opposed it because cf its serious de fects Rnd voted "no." Mr. MOCK thought that the bill was safe in all respects, btciuse no sane man would b held in the asylums. b?cau33 it does not often cccur that a man is insane whn crime is committed and becomes sine afterward. K vctd ave" Mr. MAUCK: Because we wid have the npw insane asylnmsin spUeof the objerfion of ibe gsntleman from Hancock (Mr. Gjoiin?), I vote "aje." The vote was then announced as above. So the bill passed. AFTERN'OOS SESSION'. CALL OF COUNTIF-S. Mr. MOODY oilered a resolution that a call of counties be had for bills on third reading from dav to day until every member has designated a bill. Mr. BEST: The resolution is evidently unjust. Those wbo happen to come from a county beginning with the letter "A" have been first in everything, and now propose to stay firtt. Those who haye been last all the

tiin are nea'l at tbe foct, aud now propos by this rr.eans to go to tne first again. I don't believe the lüembsrs of the House will go into this arrangement. Mr. GORDON: This is manifestly wrong. You begin with "A" and run down to "P," and then the majority having their bills in may change the resolution to begin at the head again. The SPEAKER: The resolution says no bills shall be acte i upon until all the counties are called. Mr. MOODY: The House will not be so unfair as that. The members will not act in Mr. ROBINSON said that he came far down the list, and he believed that this is the bst thirg to do. Mr. PASSAGE moved to amend eo that aftf- tte call is made tills te taken up according to rumhfr. Oa motion cf Mr. WILLIAMS, the amendment was laid ou ihe table. The resolution as then adopted yeas CI, nays L r:crExsi?:u with a clerk. The SPEAKER said that he hoped that the committee appointed to investigate the Insane Asylum would now, that it had completed its work, make its report so that the clerk could be relieved, there being no work for him to do. On motion cf Mr. DITTEMORE, the clerk's rervices were ordered dispensed with, nit state university. Mr. CART WRIGHT'S bill fH. R. 201-see pegelj to appropriate 30.000 fcr build incs cf tne State University at B'ooraington came up first, under the call Of counties on third reading. Mr. FRENCH cored now that the bill had been cut down in amount there would be no oppoiition to it. The bill passed yea, C5; nays, 1C the rr.-v iss-.jtr. astlux'S. The bill & 03 -see page US and 200 providing for the completion and equipment ot tbe new asyluxs lor the insane was read the third time. The SPEAKER sa!d: I asked mv first leave of ab-ence to-day. I shall f or the first and last time explain my. vote. I regarded this measure when it first came up as vicious legislation, but as the buildines have been te gun I do not regard it the pirt of statesmanship to step now. I believed one asvlum sufficient for all, which should be built at Indianapolis. But as it is now I shall vote "Rye." The bill prssed ayes, 7t-; cays, 2. JUDICIAL tlLCUITe. The bill S. IS i to divide the State into judicial circuits, fixing the time for holding circuits, etc., was read the third time a ameuded. The hill passed yeas, f4; nays, S. Tbe House adjourned until 10 o'clock Monday forenoon. Ten yeare i long enough to keep any man in jml. If he baa committed a crime which ral s for greater punishment, he ehould be barged.
