HOUSE.
...- .s WEDNESDAY, Dec. 3.
On the resolution to print five thou
sand copies of the Governors Mes,
sage, Mr.. Dorland moved to amend by
inserting twenty-five hundred copies
Mr.. Franklin to print five hundred in
the Holland language, which was car
ried. Mr. Rodman to print fifteen
hundred in German and Mr.. Gillett
to print fifteen hundred in Norwegian
all of whom engaged in a lively dis
cussion.
Messrs. Woodin and Holmes opposed
all the amendments to print, except in
the English. Mr.. Wyatt, from the
Sioux district, thought it just as well
to print in the Indian language. Mr..
Dorland rejoined that the Journal OF
past sessions show, that it has not
been customary to print even in Ger
man. Mr.. Sullivan urged the printing
in English alone, which was carried,
with the exception of printing fifteen
hundred copies in the German Ian
guage.
Mr.. Clark moved that the Chief Clerk
have one hundred and fifty copies OF
the rules printed, for the use of members
which motion was amended by Mr.
Dorland, so as to include the names
post office address, and districts of the
members and so the resolution was
passed. The Chief Clerk was direct
ed to supply the Reporters with Sta.
tionery, Pens, &c.
The House took up Senate bill, No.
l, An act to further restrict the SUI
perintendent of public instructionfrom
receiving public moneys.
Mr.. Sullivan wished to know what
person would then have custody of the
public funds.
Mr.. Holmes responded that it was
in lieu of similar bill, passed last
season, which had mysteriously disap.
peared, and that before the 10Th OF
January, when the five per cent. fund
is due, some person, doubtless, would
be authorized to receive the funds.
| Mr.. Franklin concurred in the views
of Mr.. Holmes, adding that the Super
intendent's securities were not deemed
sufficient to give him custody of tbt
money. The 47th rule was suspend
ed and the bill read second and thir'
: time and passed.
: Mr.. Cloud moved the appointment c
f joint committee on rules for the so,
crnment of the General Assembly
: Messrs. Cloud, Barner and Dorian
were appointed that committee.
