Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1861-01-26

In at least two Institutions for the deaf and
dump In this country. The pupils of the Insti-
tuition in North Carolina have, for several years,
printed weekly newspaper, in very hand
somo style. The last Annual Report Of the In
stitution for deaf and dumb, in Louisiana, was
printed by the pupils. and is well executed. In
the Institution for deaf mutes, at Doncaster,
England. the Annual Reports, and the books
used In the school, are printed by the pupils.
Whether the pupils of this Institution, il
they had the opportunity to acquire the art,
would be able 10 execute the entire printing
needed by the State, leave for those more
conversant with the character and details Of the
work than myself, to determine. That the art
itseli is one that may be proitably acquired and
prosecuted by deaf mutes, has been demonstra-
ted by repeated experiments.
3. The building whose erection was author
lied by the General Assembly of 1855, for the
express purpose Of afiording to pupils an oppor-
tunity for learning trades, 10 admirably adapted,
by Its solidity, spaciousness, and the number
and arrangement OF the windows, for the intro
duction, among other trades, of printing, II is
at present occupied for lodging and study rooms
for the male pupils, and must be used in this
way until another building Is provided for their
accommodation. When that is done, instruction
in trades can be Immediately commenced.
Respectfully submitted,

Jan. 25, 1861.
Mr.. FLAGG, on leave. introduced Il. B. sos
10 prevent domestic animals running at
large, which was read the first time
Mr.. HUGHES presented remonstrance of
John McElwee and others OF the city of Hamil-
ton, Butler county, against any change in the
mode OF electing marshals Of cities of the sec
ond class.
On motion of Mr., BROWNE, of Miami, the
Secretary Of State was directed to furnish CO.
pies OF Swan aud Criichfeld's Statutes TO GER
tain committee rooms
Mr.. DAVIS moved that tho vote by which
II B. 5-Amending the union school law
was passed, be rcconsidered, which motion was
laid on the table.
Mr.. HITCHCOCK moved that the vote
whereby the report of the Finance committee,
adverse to the memlii.l for change in th Q
official term of the county auditors; was agreed
to be recOnsidered, and that the motion to re-
consider be laid on the table.
Mr.. ANDREWS opposed the motion, SO he.wi h.
cd the question might be settled, and he hoped
the vote on this question might be test.
Mr. STEDMAN seconded Mr. ANDREWS
remarks
Mr. HUGHES said he conCurred in this view,
and he spoke from his experience 10 the aud E.
itor's Office in his county for several years.
Mr.. HITCHCOCK said he could see no good
raaton why this question should not be examined,
aud he thought much benefit would result from
the change. He made the motion under the
impression that the house had not closely inves
tigated the matter, and il would be proper to
consider it further. lie would make it apply to
auditors hereafter elected.
Mr.. VINCENT said he hoped the vote would
be made test, and an expression be made to
stop the food of petitions on this subject, ask
ing us to do thing we have not the power uu-
der the constitution to do. We had no more
power to extend the Office of auditor than Of the
governor.
Mr.. MCCLUNG said be thought tbe object OF
these petitions ight be found in the fact that
an extension of the term would extend fat SAL
aries to certain auditors for elk months. He
thought If we would reduce the salaries OF the
auditors, we would stop these petitions at once
Mr.. SCOTT, Of Warren asked if it would not
answer the object of change to shorten the time
instead Of extending it.
Mr.. SLUSHER did not know that there was
any concert among the auditors on this subject
But he would like this vote to be made test
Mr., NIGH thought the subject would bear
Investigation. There might be good reasons for
a change; and the constitutional difficulty might
be met In change, by making change of the
term, to apply to Auditors elected hereafter.
Mr.. BALDWIN was satisfied that the first
of March, the present time, was the exact time
when the Auditors term should expire, since il
was the time furthest removed from the set
tlement Of the tTeasurers and the making out oi
the duplicates, and cut off opportunities for col
lusion between the auditor and treasurer.
Mr.. WELSH said he thought it well to let
the matter rest before we settle it finally. 9th
er petitions would yet come in; and il would
we be we'll for US to-wait andeee what the peo.
pie had TO say on the subject FIS thought
there were advantages in the charge welsworth
considering.
Mr.. BURR said he should vote for the recon.
sideration; but he did not intend it to be test
vote on his part.
Mr.. DEVORE said we must Judge of this sub
ject by its merits, and not the source of the
petitions. He thought il best TO close the
terms Of the auditor and treasurer at the end OF
the fiscal year.
Mr., HILLS was opposed to any change. 1t
was proposed to make it apply to future aud.
itors. He would like to postpone its application
beyond the terms ofall present auditors.
Mr.. SCOTT, of Warren, would vote for the
reconsideration from motives Of comfy only.
The yeas and nays were called and resulted--
yeas 40, nays Sd
The question then turned upon the motion to
reconsider, which resulted-yoas 80, nays 62.
On motion of Mr.. BROWNE, OF Miami, the
House resolved itself into committee Of the
Whole, Mr.. Wright, of Hamilton, ia the
chair
After some time spent III erein the committee
rose and reported, when the House adjourned.
