PUBLIC PRINTING.
Nj. SHASUs moved that this House will on Thursday,
the 10th inst proceed By Joint with the Senate, to
the election Of I Public Printer for one year.
MIR WATKINS suggested 10 the of the resolution,
TO amend it by striking out Thursday the 10th ms; and
inserting Tomorrow. He understood that the term Of
service Of the last years Printer had already expired and
he reason why the election should be delayed.
MIR. WlTcnER said, it was not very importlnt upon
wha; day the election took place-and ahoug the time
Of service had expired already the law provided Tor the
continuance of the Printer in his Office until the 1st Of
january the ouse should not previously make
an election He thought, therefore, that there
particular necessity for haste in making the appointment
Mr.. STANDS said he had offered the resolution at this
tnic because it had been customary make this rlcc
ton during the first week of the session.
Mr.. WATKINS remarked, that it was generally done
during the first week and he DESTROYS of acting
the subject now because there little else that could
be dune.
MIR. DonmAS reason for proceeding in this
matter prccpitaely, when the time limited by law for
the services of the printer, did expire until the st OF
January. There were several members absent who
would be deprived Of their privilege Of voting the sub
cc if the election to take place tomorrow lie
hoped therefore, that the day rgnay proposed would
be adhered to-
Mr. ATKINS said lie would not willingly deprive
single member of his vote this any other question:
he therefore, withdrew his proposition 10 amend and
the resolution was agreed 10.
BANKING CAPITAL.
Mr. MCKDArGH said, that as the suu ec oil an increase
Of the banking capital Of the State would probably be one
Of the most interesting and important which would come
before the House during the present session, and il
essential in considering 10 look to oil parts Of the
State from which application would be made, lie had
thought better that general! Committee should he ap
pointed to take the subject into consideration, than to Sc
ect separate committee upon each Of the petitions He
had therefore prepared resolution for the appointment
of such Committee which he would now submit He
knew it generally matter Of courtesy to place the
mover Of such proposition the head Of the committee
PROPOSED But his desire that the rule should
be observed this OCCASION; the contrary, Il was his
wish that gentleman of greater experience in cgs-
ation as well banking should DC made the chairman.
Mr. NJ then offered the following resolution, which was
adopted:
Resoircd, That a.Conmittee Of twcntyone be raised
On the subject Of increasing the banking capital OF this
Commonwealth, and tina: said Committee take charge q"
al applications that subject.
On motion OF Mr.. HUNTER Of B.,
The House adjourned.
