This closed my correspondence with the
Superintendent on this subject prior to the
extra session Of the General Assembly in
July last.
On tie 18th July, 1850, an act was ap
proved entitled "an act TO prevent the loan
ing Of the School Fund by the Supernten-
dent of Public Instruction" which expressly
prohibited the losning or parting with the
possession of any MONIES then in his posses
sion.
At the same session an act was passed
through both Houses OF the General Assem-
bly, and signed by the Speaker, prohibiting
the Superintendent IRON acquiring the pos
se ssion of any more school monies, bot was
ia some manner prevented from reaching
the Governor go that il failed to become a
Law.
On the 18th July, 1856, there was also
passed Joint resolution of-the General As
sembly authorizing the Governor TO borrow
the sum Of One Hundred Thousand Dollars
from the School Fund although the term
"borrow" was used ye, supposed that the
resolution merely intended that iheG Governor
should act as the agent in transferring a
State Fund from one depository Of the Gov
eminent TO another, and that it was pfin-
cipie OF common sense and common law,
that creditor ind debtor could not exist in
one and the same person. ! found no con-
stitutional scrupie therefore, in dlschargiug
the mandate of the General Assembly, ard
called upon the Superintendent of Public
destruction for the amount Indicated For
reasons not then explained to me, he paid
me only Forty Thousand Dollars, which !
