II The Senate's amendments to II. B. 50l-To
provide for certain officers in the Active Militia
of Ohio-Were taken up, when a ..'. is
important to the offering Of the system.
Mr.. HILLS opposed the same, especially that
which provides for the Medical Director.
Mr., SCOTT, of Warren, said he had moved
to strike this from the bill, when before the
House; but on reflection he was disposed to
support the amendment; and he hoped no gen
tleman in the House would apply for the post Of
Medical Director, or any other Office provided
for in the bill.
Mr.. BALDWIN demanded division of the
question on the several amendments, and op'
posed that providing for Medical Director.
Mr.. HILLS said that he had an unpleasant
duty to perform. That he did not expect 10 so
soon see the fulfllment Of his suspicion aroused
at thezeal manifested on this floor for the ap-
poinsments provided for in this bill. He had
said and now would repeat, that had the fra
mers OF the Constitution been able to have
looked down to this period in our history, they
would have added to that clause where no men,
ber OF the Legislature shall be appointed to any
ofl1ce created, or the emoluments OF which are
Increased during his term as member, so as to
preclnde their appointment to military as well
as civil position, created by their votes This,
said he, is all care to say.
Mr.. SLuSSER favored the amendment pro,
viding for the Medical Director, on the princi'
pie OF economy, If that alone. Such an officer
could not only make the proper preparations
for and direct the medical treatment of the
army, but he would save money for the service.
Mr.. DAVIS said he had opposed this office,
but on examining the subject he was satisfied IL
ought to be provided for, on the principle
that every important department should have q
head.
Mr.. BALDWIN withdrew bis opposition, as
he understood that petition was now circula'
ting In the House, asking that his friend, Mr.
Scott, of Warren, be appointed that Medical
Director. He could not think of standing in
the way OF gentleman who had opposed the
measure, and was now ready to take Office un-
der it.
DR.. SCOTT said, if a petition was circulating
in the House in his behalf, it was without his
knowledge or consent, and for the satisfaction
OF the gentleman from Mahoning, he would say
should the Governor, for his superior merit and
skill in the medical profession, award him the
position Of Medical Director, be would resign
and he hoped the legal gentlemen in this House
who were making efforts to obtain the position
of Judge Advocate in the army, would take the
same position as to appointments made under
any law passed by this General Assembly. He
knew there was much eminent talent in both
professions in the House, but he thought il
ought not to be brought into requisition under
any law passed by the influence Of that talent
He claimed in q jocose way, that Notwithstanding
the legal talent Of the House, even of highes
order, themedicaltalent had nothing to feal
from comparison.
The debate was continued in this jocula
way for some time the to the great amusemen
Of the House and lobbies.
This amendment was then adopted-yeas So

The second amendment was agreed to--yea

Mr. DEVORE moved to amend by taking
recess from Monday next till the 4th of June

journment; believing there was no necessity f
returning. If q recess was taken, the 4th
June is too early to return. He was for 81
II G. r.
