Mr.. WOODBURY., on the call OF Mr. Barrow, gave
his opinion against the bill. He said the Office,
when properly filled, was Invaluable.
Col. SEWER said there WAS no business for the
Office TO do. There was no use for il now. There
was in times when there were great land sales, as
in &c 10 40
Mr. CRIrrENpEN replied that the amount Of land
sales had nothing TO do with the labors OF the Of
fee. The business OF the Office originated IN set
Ting the French and Spanish titles, and especially
in the Indian titles
Gov. MoRRHEAp thought the office good one,
and he wa, therefore, opposed to the bill Out OF
30 or 40,0W Offices under the government, how
comes il that this poor solicitor OF The land ONCE
ia alone pitched upon TO be sacrhceo 10 the genius
OF retrenchmenf.
Mr. JOHNSON (from Louisiana,) thought if the
office was continued there ought to De placed IN
II a person of very high talents The late solicitor
was not even a lawyer; and the person now pomi-
mated. is a subordinate clerk in the office. 1t re-
qulres profound lawyer.
On taking the ayes and noes on ordering the bill
TO be engrossed, the vote stood ayes rs, nays 16-
So the office was abolished.
ADJOURNMENT.
Mr.. EVANS called up the resolution OF the House
to adjourn on the 18th Of June, and moved To

upon their feet.
Mr. BARROW moved TO lay Mr.. Evans motion
on the table and 60 into Executive Session.
Mr.. EVANS persisted.
Mr.. WALKER wanted to debate the motion OF
Mr.. EVANS, and said 1t would give rice to much de-
bate
Mr.. BARRow would not consent to debate now
Mr. RIvrs said if Mr.. Evans motion should

very likely be kept here all summer;
il ended in the Senate going into Executive See
