He wanted TO make this-a defuite thing. He
would ItaF othe best BID offered to the Legisla-
ture, ana 'clibchN IL by enaetment. The afgu-
m lent of Mr.. SchIeich, he thought, was conclu-

fshfr. MOORE denied that the public desire
the sale or lease of the canals. No petitions Of
this nature have been received, but we have re
ceiyed many reuonstrances against either, The
Senator MI. Fisher) says those who oppose lease
or sale, live, on the canals, and are interest
ed True, and those who do not live on them,
and are not familiar with their Importance, are
cla,norous for separating them from the control
of the State. MraMuore thopght the experi-
ence of the past ten ears tiemonatrates that
with good management these works can be made
to pay the) State. Je ~ The fact that mem
beFs are daily beset with papers and outside
pressure should make usact csu,ipuslys and
without prejudice. Is it not self@evidentt that II
gentlenen can pay s2o, ,ooOe year for these ca

2 lMri FISHER replied to remark OF Mr..
Moore, that the benefits derived from the ca
mails had contributed to the welfare OF the State
the very children having been educated through
them Nj. #. ret6rsing that II the children
had not been educated until they had been 40
through profits Of the canals, they would have
gone to heaven as ignorant as when they were
born. tGbI slg dl 1n9Dod
= Mr.. HOLMES thought the amendment-tt
insert Joseph Cooper's name-did not JUSTLY
such wide range In debate. Ifhe had his owl
way aboutit, he would at once dispose OF thu
Public, Works. But this 10 not now the question
Il is too late 10. the season TO do this Thep peo
pie are satisfied that the present mode OF man
agement is simply system supporting scaven
gers and ofice-holders. 1t has been and Il

Mr.. WHITE regarded this purely sse question
of economy. He would vote for the best bid
no matter by whom made; provided he is quail
fed and gives security. His district had neve
been benefited by the canals. iHis constituent
universally regarded the expense OF keeping
them up as .onerous TO them. Mr. w .then pro-
ceeded to show that the Pnblic Works hat
been a constant source Of expense, th,
facts having been repeatedly published. tTh,
amount OF interest alone against the Stat
for 10 years was about $7,500,000. Thes'
facts show necessity for change OF policy 10 thu
management of the canals. He had votet
for the small contract bill because it was q
