Proceedings of Congress.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES.
FRIDAY, January 15.
A MEMORIAL was presented from Dr. Cochran, Commissioner of the Loan Office, praying in addition to his salary, for reasons set forth therein.
The report of the secretary of war was read respecting several memorials which had been referred to him.
Mr. Baldwin from the committee of the whole, to whom had been referred the President, rose and reported thereon.
Mr. Smith (S. C.) moved that so much of the President's Speech as respected uniform laws of Naturalization; uniformity in the currency, weight & measures of the United States; the advancement of agriculture, commerce and manufactures, the institution of a national university, for the promotion of science and literature, be referred to select committees.
That part of the President's message which relates to the national defence and supplies, was discussed.
Mr. Richard Bland Lee, Mr. Smith, and some other members spoke. Mr. Smith's motion for select committees was approved and a committee of five were appointed viz Mr. Gilman, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Muhlenberg, Mr. Floyd, and Mr. Heister.
Mr. Clymer moved, that the business of military supplies be referred to the Secretary of the Treasury, which not being carried, it was referred to a committee of four, viz. Mr. Sedgwick, Mr. Hucker, and Mr. Moore.
The business of weights and measures, and the uniformity of currency, was referred to the Secretary of State.
Such part of the President's message as respected Commerce, Agriculture, and Manufactures, was ordered to lie on the table.
In like manner the business of the Post-Office, Science and Literature, were debated, and ordered to be laid on the table.
A letter from Slack of Newbern (N. C.) directed to B. Rawkins, esq., was read, stating sundry grievances respecting his having paid duty for a cargo prior to the adoption of the New Constitution for which duty was demanded a second time. His vessel was built in Connecticut, that he was a citizen of the United States in 1785, and since a free-holder.
Mr. Goodhue moved, that so much of the laws of the United States as interfered with the state of North Carolina, be repealed, or such alteration made therein as would provide for the division of the state into Districts.
He was seconded by Mr. Smith (S. C.) Some debate took place upon this question and it was urged the necessity of framing a particular bill in the present instance.
Mr. Boudinot, Mr. Richard Bland Lee, and Mr. White, spoke, and it was at length agreed that it be referred to a committee of three, to bring in a bill whereupon Mr. Benion, Mr. Trumbull and Mr. Cadwallader, were appointed.
Mr. Page made some remarks upon the subject of the Short hand Writers, and Printers, as did likewise Mr. White, Mr. Boudinot, Mr. Smith, Mr. Thatcher, &c. The inaccuracies of Short-hand Writers were spoken of by Mr. Smith (S. C.) and at the same time he seemed desirous to excuse them of any intention to distort the debates. He remarked that a Short hand Writer might very easily commit an error, such as accounts for acts, and in one particular instance he had seen it published, instead of an act for the regulation of Harbours, "An act for the regulation of Barbers."
Mr. Burke closed the debate by remarking, that although he had in the last session brought forward his business recd he had no objection to the Short-hand Writers being indulged with liberty of sitting within the bar, provided they acted with candour and impartiality.
The House then adjourned till 11 o'clock on Monday next.
The Volunteers under command of Gen. Scott, and Regulars under Gen. Harmer, (after the detachment left them as mentioned in a former paper) proceeded to Paint-creek, and down it to the Scioto; down the Scioto to the mouth, across the Ohio and down it to Limestone. Shortly after they crossed Paint creek, a small party filed off to the left, and fell in with the Block-House so much talked of: it had not been occupied for several months, and was considered beneath the notice of the party. In the neighbourhood of this place, there were a number of old camps, and in one of them was found a few leaves of a Latin Dictionary: in the whole line of march, no such signs of Indians was discovered.
