IN SENATE.

Thursday, april Is.
Mr.. Morrell submitted the following re-
solution for consideration
Resolved That the Committee on the
Judiciary be directed to inquire into the
expediency of passing general law, re-
curing all persons who are authorized 10
receive or disburse the public moneys, be-
fore they commense such service, to enter
into bonds, with good and sufficient sure
ties, in a suitable sum, conditioned tor
the faithful performance of their duty;
and, also, that all public officers who are
authorized to make contracts with indivld-
uals, shall require such contractors to en-
ter into like bonds, with like suretiss,
conditioned as above, previous to their re-
ceiving any advance of public money; with
such other provisions. as may be necessary
to secure the public property, when IN the
hands of public agents.
The bill from the house of Representa-
tives to alter the times OF holding courts
in the western District of Virginia, and
for other purposes, passed through COM
mttee of the whole and was ordered to be
read a third time.
The Senate took up, in committee OF
the whole, Mr.. Dickerson in the chair, the
bill from the house of Representatives
making appropriations for the support of
government for the year 1922; and pro-
ceeded to consider the amendments report
ed thereto by the Committee on Finance.
Amongst the amendments reported to
the bill by the committee was the following:
"For surveying the public lands in 1891
fortu tbousand dnllarso
This amendment was intended to cover
one half of an amount of expense incurred
by the survey of tract of country 10 H.
linois, which the Surveyor General CEN
strued his instructions from the Commits.
sioner of the General Land Office 10 re-
quire, but which, il appears, was net con
tempated by those instructions; and long
debate followed on the propriely OF max
ing payment for it in whole, in part or at
all, at this time.
The appropriation was opposed by
Messrs. Holmes of Maine, Macon, Bar
bour. Chandler and Morril; and twas ear
nestly: supported by Messrs. Edwards,
Benton, Johnson of Kentucky, Lloyd and
Barton, who also advocated the propliety
and equity OF allowing the whole sum of
10000 dollars. Mr., Lowre spoke against
appropEiating the whole sum, but would

but the motion vas negatived, ayes %,
noes g..
MIR. Wright moved that the House pro-
coed to the consideration of the bill in re-
lation to the escape OF fugitives, slaves
&C.; but, the question being put, Mr.. " 9
motion was negatived.
The bill from the Senate to ascertain
claims and titles to land in the territory OF
Florida, was twice read and referred.
The House then proceeded to the con-
sideration Of the bill in addition to an act
to reduce and fix the Military Peace Es-
Enlistment.
The House then resolved itself into a
committee ofthe whole, Mr.. Condict in
the chair, on the bill making further ap-
preparations for the military service OF the
United States for the year 1922, and for o.
Their purposes.
And after some time spent thereon, the
House adjourned.

/ agree to 10000 though he questioned The
strict propriety Of go & even as Tar a.
! that at this time. Int end.
The amendment wa agreed to.
The next amen ment proposed to
make an appropriation OF IL, 200 dollars, to
carry into effect the Att article Of the trea-
ty with Spain, which rovides for running
the line between the United States and
the Spanish territory
After some explain on from Mr.. Holmes
| of Me. to show the propriety of the ap-
| preparation, notwith andIng the political
changes that have occurred in Mexico
the amendment was agreed to, mem con:
| The two next amendments reported by
the committee, went, first, to reduce to
1900 dollars the appropriation of 1000
dollars for William Lambert, who was en-
ployed under resol ton OF Congress to
make observations to certain the longi-
tude OF the Capitol, el,minary to the es-
Establishment of first me dian LOT the ma
l'tioD; and secondly, o increase the appro-
priation for William Elliot who assisted IN
the observations, from 500 to 600 dol
lars.
After some discussion of the first OF these
amendments, in which Messrs. King OF N.
! Y Peasants, Holmes Of Ne. and Barbour
took part, the amendment was negatived;
ayes Is, mes Is; aud that which added TO
Mr. Elliot's compensation was agreed TO.
The negt amendment reported to the
bill was one which went to extend TO the
military appropriation bill, already passe:to1
the provision sttached TO the present OH
prohibiting payment Of salary being made
to any officer while his public accounts
shall remain unse tiled.
On this question, an extensive oeoate
took place. The principle OF the Prov !,
sion was advocated by Messrs Holmes OF
Ne. and Morril as expedient, equitable u
proper, though they admitted 1t would at
first operate very hardly on many indivI-
duals Messrs. johnson of Ky. and John
son OF Lou. opposed the provision because
it was impoIitic, as it would drive men
from office Of the most upright and Vlrtuous
characters; because men often appeared
indebted to the government who proved,
on settlement of accounts, to have mo-
ney due to them by the governments; that
the settlement of accounts was often sus-
pended for the want Of further proof or tor
some explanation; that its effect would be
to make misfortune criminal, &c DC Mr.
Barbour, W DO concurred in these views OPP
posed the provision on the further .grouno'
that it ought, il proper at all, to be Sc
psrate act, and not torn a part OF an aP
preparation bill which was intended SIMPLY
to provide for paying sums which other
laws had authorized. &c. and he lntImated
an intention to move to expunge it altoge-
Their.
The debate on both sides took pretty
wide scope; but before the question was
taken on the amendment,
The bill was laid on The table; and
The Senate spent some time on Exee"-
tivy business; and then
Adjourned.
