L. 1865
Mr. Packard 1t is already contemplated by

RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. Roberts: That the Committee on Ways
and Means be instructed 10 inquire into the facts
and circumstances connected with the late fraud
uent issue of Indiana State stocks, commonly
known as 1.-THE Slower Fraud whether there l.
any probability that the State will sustain any
loss thereby and whether any legislation is neces
sary To protect the interests and credit of the
State account thereof, and TO report by bill OF
otherwise Adopted.
NJ Cason: Appointing Committee of Thir-
teen to come to some satisfactory understanding
on the action of the House which the parties will
abide bv, if the committee make unanimous
report, the following subjects: LIST, in regard TO
the powers and duties OF the Governor: 81, I'm re-
gard to the pros cution OF the and the con
nection of the State Herewith.
4 debate here ensued.
Mr. Niblack was willing 10 try the experiment,
although he had 10 faith in it.
Dir. Lasselle would vote for the resolution,
provided the clause binding this House by the de
cisiOn of the committee were stricken out. He
would surrender his conscience to no set ot men,
however sagaciOus and patriotic
Mr.. Miroy opposed To the whole thing. Ii
came from the wrong quarter Ii reminded him
of the fable of the rooster and the horses. The
rooster said: Gentlemen. don't let us tread on
each others toes" Ii the minority don't want
the majority TO tread OH their toes. let them get
out on clear ground-let them get of the
way.
Mr. Roberts moved to table the resolution
yeas "a, nays 65--sO the resolution was not
tabled.
Mr. Packard opposed the adoption of the reso-
luton. 1t a visionary scheme. We had a
committee-the Committee on Federal Rea
tons--In all respects. except in point OF number.
equivalent to the one proposed. Tha, committee
had already canvassed the important subjects
committed to them. and it was fou I'd utterly i'm
possible for them TO agree. How was IL possible,
then, that thirteen men could agree when seven
could not? Besides, he would not yield his
conscience and his action to the dictum OF any set
of men All OF US who were honest in asserting
their principles would stand by them We must
differ with one another, if We we're honest aid
conscientious
Mr. Roberts said that all such humbug resolu
tons were introduced 10y the minority to consume
time and prevent necessary eeisla tion--In order
that the majority might be held responsible before
the people Tor all failures. And the people would
hold, notwithstanding the Vaccinations of the
minority, the majority 80 responsible.
Mr. Hocomb was disposed to grant the mi
noriiy all they asked IN reason. He was dis
posed to treat them with more courtesy than they
had treated Us heretofore He was willing to Try
the experiment tor cancellation and harmony.
Mr. Griffith offered an amendment striking out
the pledge to abide by the report OF the Commit
tee, aud inserting will give the report a respect
fu consideration p"
Mr. Van Bu~kirk followed: He argued in favor
OF the resolution The fact that il was presented
b, "ihe bitierest member on this floor in the mi
nority," a. had been charged ought to commend
it to the majority. Propositions OF concliation
from tnat source ought certainly 10 De met more
than half way.
Mr. Niblack inclined 10 favor the PROPOSE
ton because m equal number OF both parties
would he brong face TO face, and it looked like
al honest effort toward cOnciliatiOn-tOw ard
doing something. Everything which is calcu-
lated 10 bring members oil both parties together
would iead t, allay the excitement of the coun
try He had no fer OF "a discussion IN commit
OF the principles and measures OF the majority
He had every disposition To favor all steps toward
pacifcation

derson. Newman and Mr.. Woollen, who offered
