Upon this amendment Mr.. Smith de-
manded the ayes ani noes, and the vote
resulted Ayes Il, Noes 10.
Mr. PORTER demanded the previous
question, which was upon the eugrossment
of the bill. The demand being sustained,
Mr.. Smith called the ayes and noes, with
the following result: Ayes 10, noes IL.
So the bill was ordered to its eugross-
meut.
A communication was received from the
Governor, enclosing : copy OF a preamble
and resolutions lately adopted by the Ohio
Legislature, asking the Legislature of Yir-
ginia to grant the right of way for a rail-
road across the Panhandle.
This relates to the bill which was de-
feated some days ago in tue House, and in
which our people were much interested. I
The bill to reorgauize the Kanawha
Board and TO provide for the collection
OF tolls on the kAnaTha river and road,
was passed.
The act to provide Military fund was
reported. The bill appropriates $40, 900.
Mr.. HooTES said he was satisfied from
an examination OF the Auditors Report and
from other sources, that We propose to ap-
propriate money that We have not got, and
which is not really needed. He NOV
ed to suspend the rules that the vote by
which the bill WAS engrossed might be re-
considered
Mr.. BoRENAS eonteuded that the State
had the money and ought to appropriate
It for the purpose indicated.
Mr.. SMITH WAS in favor OF the appropri-
alton. In the course of his remarks aud
IN allusion to the probability that we
should have to appropriate more money to

not getting along at the rate of an inch
per day. The microscope which it re-
quires TO discern the smallest aaimalcuIa
could not trace the progress of the Con-
Tentiou for single day.
Mr.. ARSoLD-Mr. Speaker, | rise to a
point of order. desire to know what IS
the question before the House, and whether
the gentleman from Marion is speaking to
it.
Mr. SXrrH-If the gentleman from Lew
tSlIEiI manage to be here and cast at least
one vote day, he will understand the
question before the House. He sleeps in
his house half of his time, and when he
comes up here, the FIRST thing he does is to
move an adjournment.
Mr. ARSoLD-If this sort of discussion
is allOWed,sblE. Speaker, l should like 10
say sope hg myself. can cut as deep
With stongue-or otherwise, as the gem
ttll5an from Marion.
Mr.. SMITH said he didn't intend to cut
the gentleman Mt all. He proceeded TO
| speak in favor of the appropriation of
| $4,000.
Dir. PORTER said there was no necessity
for apprOpriatinE this large sum, unless it
would be to pay the expenses of commits
! siOners running around the country for the
! purpose of having foundry, OF something

We have no State volunteers, and will,
therefore, have no State volunteers to pay,
aud with all due respect to the Major Cen
erals and Brigadier Generals, which he saw
around him, he was bound to say, that if
the safety of the Union dep uded upon the
militia of the State, it was gone. He pro-
ceeded TO show that we should need all
the money we have, and more, in other d.
reetious. In conclusion, Mr. Porter said,
that after six more speeches had been
made, he would call the previous question.
Ar. SIXTH again proceeded at some
length to show where the money was to
come from, and concluded by saying that
\ be desired TO place the State in defensive
| position that ueighboring states would not
dictate to US, even to the running OF q rail-
road across the Pan Handle.
| Mr.. POBTER said the gentleman from
Marion seemed to have a remarkable
! knowledge OF the science of accounts. He
reminded him of one Of the sons of the OLD
lady, who said that her bows were so smart
that II you were to shut themup in a room
| together without cent of money, they
would make FIVE dollars each during a
| single night swapping clothes. He went
on to show that the Auditors report would
not do to found an appropriation bill upon.
Many OF the counties which it is supposed
will pay money into the Treasury are dis
organized ard are in such n condition as
not to be able to pay their taxes Mr..
Porter concluded by saying that he was
willing to spend as much of his own money
and Of;he peoples as anT other man for the
maintenance OF this government, state and
national he had spent as much of his own
money as the gentleman from Marion-had
drilled as much-about six weeks in all
but before he appropriated money he want
ed to know where it was to come from and
where it was to 60 to.
Mr.. RUFRSER spoke in favor of the bill.
urging the necessity which existed in the
border counties for military protection.
Mr.. F4RNswoRTH favored the appropria-
non OF $4,000. He took up the reports
OF the Auditor, and taking these as basis.
