TO take up the resolution offered by Mr oos

II seysrs1 meets some OF the prin-
oinles thew expressed were correct; and II they
were taken up and reject it might seem TO
sanction The propriety OF judges holding q
his Office and drawing the salary after he DAD
ceased to be able to perform the duty.
Mr Woodrile. said, he was sure that the
gentieman who offered the resolution, was per
suad d that the legislature could apply re-
rnedy. and would Interfere. He'wa' sure that
gentleman did nor merely iutend, BY Offering
the resolution to wound the feelings OF good
old man Il taking zap and rejecting tue teso-
buttons, would sanctlo the principle Oh Judges
holding his office and drawing his salary after
he ceased to perform the duties, what would
be the inference from permitting the resolution
to lay on the table1 Every member had been
furnished With printed copy, and 1t would be
equally sanctonmg the objectionable pfinc'p'e
TO permit the resolutions 10 lay on the table
Mr Goggln, remarked that when he Offered
the resolutions, he wished them lad on the
table to give time for gentlemen to reject on
the subject. There was bill IN progress De
fore the House, p ovding for the appointment
of another Chancellor, AMI he thought 1t would
he best for that bill to be acted on before his
resolutions were taken up He insisted on the
proprety of this course, aud called on the gen
tlemen to pursue It. 1t was his oplhon that
the constitution provided for disqualification
like that oil Chancellor Brown Although there
might be some doubt as to the expression IN
the constitution, yet he could not believe that
the trainers Of that instrument ever supposed
that a man elevated to such an Office as that
of Chancellor, would hold to h's salary alter ne
had lost he ability to perform the duty lie
hoped the house would refuse TO take up the
resolution until the last of the session,
The question was then taken and the hcuse
refused to lake up by large majority
