preparation TO delray the expenses OF Gov. Kos

vide the necessary funds.
Here The resolution was temporarily with.
drawn, to enable
Mr.. Fisher 10 present the credentials Of Mr..
David Bush, member from Delaware county,
who was introduced, sworn in aud took his
seat.
Mr.. Shellubarger again offered his resolution.
lie said the contributions and donations Of the
cilzcns were intended 10 form poruon Of the
"mnterial aid" which Kossu1h so much needed
and ought not be expended in delraYiOg his ira
yelling expenses. Besides, The Legislature had
invhed Gov. Kossu.h TO visit the Capital as oul
guest, and il would be no more than proper "a
defray The expenses Of our invited guests
Other States had done so, and We ought 10 do SC
also.
Mr.. Beckcl said an appropriation from the
Stale Treasury ought, il appropriated al all, to
be appropriated 10 pay the his expenses al oil
parts in the State, and not simply al Columbus.
Tha. being the case, the appropriation must be
rather large.
Mr.. Shellabarger said we had invited him to
the Capitol, and appointed committee TO escon
him here. The sum appropriated ought to co.
yer only the expenses while the Guest Of the
State,
Mr.. Hughes said Kossu,h was now in charge
Of commuee of the cilizens Of Columbus. =
When they were ready to deliver him to the
commuee Of The Legislature, his expenses from
that time ought TO be- paid by the STATE.
Mr.. Means moved to refer the resolution 10
the commiuee OF Finunce.
Mr.. Fisher thought such d course would de.
lay too long the AcnOn ol This body. This State
was able 10 pay KossuIh's expenses during hi:
visit to this entire State. lie had come TO speak
TO the people, and he ought to have the privi'
lege Of so doing, and no. be cooped up to speak
TO lew who were able 10 pay. A banquet with
high admission tickets would exclude large
portion Of those who wanted TO hear him.
Mr.. Hughes said proposition to pay all Kos.
suth's expenses would cause much trouble, as q
portion OF those expenses had already been paid.
We were 100 late for that. When Kossuth
came into the hands Of a legislative committee
he was ready then to vote TO pay all bis expen.
ses from that time.
