McssFS- west, smith and Logan thought
that the business of the House would lie
facilitated by holding only one session, rs
the work was all done in committee.
Mr.. SNInER was in favor OF two sessions
day. He commended that the Committees
were already ahead of the House. He de.
manled the ayes aud noes upon Mr.. Nests
resolution. The result WAS, ayes 10, noes
I. The resolution was adopted.
The bill to incorporate the Farmers and
Drovers Bank of Morgantown was read Il
second time. The bill provides that the
total paper circulation Of the Bank shall
never exceed more than Eve to one OF its
coin. =
Mr.. RUEFxER moved to insert '.shall
never exceed three to one" &c.
Mr.. SSIDER said the bank did not ask
any exclusive privileges. The bill before
the house was in the form of nearly nll
other charters granted by the State.
Mr.. KRAMER hoped that the amendment
prevail. The people of Monongalia county
are entitled to the same privileges as the
people of other counties.
Mr.. CRorHERs was opposed to the amend
ment. He said that the old North Western
Bank and the Merchant and Mechanics are
nil eutitled to issue five to one.
Mr.. PORTER moved to lay the bill on the
table for the present. Adopted.
Mr.. CRoTHERs offered the following:
ResOtVed, By tie General assembly Of VTiir-
ginid, That the Governor be authorized to
withdraw from the Auditor office the or
iginHl :papers of claims properly chargeH-
BILE to the United States, and substitute
copies of the same, certified to by the Au-
ditor.
Lai d on the table.
MIR. KRAMER offered resolution that the
Committee on Schools and Colleges inquire
int the expediency of amending certain
sections OF the code in relation to schools.
Adopted.
Mr.. Smith moved that the vote by which
the Auditors Report was ordered to be
| printed be recOnsidered.
The report, which WAS quite lengthy,
was read by the Clerk The report sets
forth that the Executive has not furnished
the Auditor with proper vouchers for mon
les expended by him through Mr.. Thomas
Hornbrook, and there is still remaining in
the hands of the Executive or Thomas
HornbrOok the sum Of $3.50 OIL not ac-
| counted for.
Mr.. SMITH said that he had observed
with pain, a captious spirit among certain
OF the otticiAls-a spirit that ought to be
checked by the Legislature. lie did not
think the report of the Auditor ought to
be printed, MS it was an er pdrte statement
The best way was to appoint committee
whose duty it shall be to examine into all
the facts and report to the House.
Mr.. WILsoN thought the report should be
printed, that every member should see it.
The subject of the report was talked OF
| upon the streets, and he desired to have all
the facts brought to light.
| Mr.. FOREMAN said that the Auditor's
communication charges the Executive with
spending money for lager beer and cheese
but does not say what for. This lager beer
and cheese were purchased to refresh n
regiment OF hungry soldiers, who were on
their way home from fighting our battles,
and had just achieved brilliant victory.
He was not willing that such gcneralities
should go forth unsustained and unex-
planned.
The ayes and noes were called upon the
motion to reconsider and resulted: Ayes
II, noes A.
On motion of Mr.. Parsons, the House
then adjourned.
