fearful. In January, 1861 mot yet three

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS.
SENATE.


A message from the House announced
the concurrence of that body in the Senate's
amendments to the bill authorizing the
Clerk of the Supreme Court OF Appeals 10
take orders of publication in vacation.
Mr.. Stevenson reported back, with an
amendment the "bill defining the powers
and duties, and regulating the proceedings
If the Board of Supervisors o! the various
counties of the State"
Mr.. Farnesworth offered resolution In
,tructing the comm ttee on Finance TO en-
,uire into the expediency of appropriatlng
county to each person who may volunteer
rom this State in the service If the United
States nnder the late call OF the President.
Mr.. Young offered an amendment that
the money shall be raised by direct tax
upon those who have not volunteered or
aaye not furnished aid of any character to
tt e Government.
Mr.. Copley offered substitute upon the
anne subject for the pending resolution
which was lost.
Mr.. Young then withdrew his amend
uent and MIR. Bunker moved an addition
requesting the committee to take into con-
,ideration the proprety of creditiDg those
counties which have heretofore paid large
counties.
Mr.. Bunker's amendment was lost, and
the original resolution was adopted.
Mr.. Hawkins from the committee appoint
d to examine the Auditors Office made a re-
port which was received and ordered to De
printed.
A resolution was adopted directing the
Auditor to take charge of certain books IL
lis office.
.ur. Slack presented petition from sun
dry citizens of Kanawha county, asking the
repeal of law declaring Blue Greek pub
| lie highway. He also presented counter
| petitions from citizens of the same county
all of which were appropriately referred.
The order of the day-Jhe bill to pro
vide for the forfeiture of property in tins
State belonging to the enemies thereof,
| Vas taken up.
MIR. Bunker spoke at some length agains
the bill. He yielded by no means in his de-
votion to the cause of the Union and The
New State. and no man had given less ale
and comfort to the enemy, but he thought
| it was the duty of Congress to pass bills o.
| his character. We had no right to put
money in our Golfers which belongs to the
United States. We depend upon the gen
erai government for protection, and II there
| is any property to be conGscated the gene
raj government should have the benefit o
it.
Mr.. Stevenson argued in favor Of the bill
As it is not the purpose OF the friends Q
the bill to bring the State in conflict witt
the general government. The rebels whose
property we propose to forfeit are certain
iy common enemies of the United States
but they arc daily committing offence
against this State 1t is these offences tina
re enumerated in the offendera which w
PROPOSE to punish by forfeiture of property
Mr. Hubbard also spoke in favor of tn
bill, urging various reasons why 1t shoult
pass,
| Mr.. Maxwell aud Mr.. Farnesworth als'
advocated its passage.
The till was then passed-yeas Is; nay'
). On motion of Mr.. Co pely the Senate
| adjourned.
