Mr.. CA-D\ also favored the ame,idrn..n,

Commissioners t. eNpend one dollar 81 TIT

men have u say now, whether they will Ut,
Tor this provision. or one similar 10 /, =,
Nhether they will compel the soldiers to 90 l.
poor houses. The County Commissioners Iav,
no authority by law 10 provide homes r.,
h.,nsis-s soldiers, and they sre compelled q
SEMI them h. those dens ofrcftlge called co,,,,,,
poor houses. Tie feared We would ,di1s'-;,
without making provision for any relief 10 onr
ui-apied soldiers II this amendment should fail.
anu ne urged upon senator. 10 vote for tn
amendment rather than take such risk
UT. ~ Lin contended that the first Uou-s
aihendment already concurred in uroyide.
that County Commissioners shall take care =,
disabled soldiers-it makes il their imperative
duty; then what j. the necessity for bringino
tnls seven per cent. 10 the city Of indianapolis =
ne SAID nothing against the project Of a SOL
H.
IN such an Idea, IL properly carried out. He
would vote for an amendment paving ont
OF TITS fund any slim the Governor has already,
expended i'm pursuance Of the act Of Last -.
-lon. but would % no further. lie would not
Vote put money in the hands Of the Governor
TO do that which you have already required
County Commissioners 20 do. He desired that
THIS Lax levied under the law Of 1856 should
De used Tor the purpose Of clearing the conn
Ties OF their Indebtedness: and for no other
purpose.
Mr.. COBB understood the bin IN reouiro
every county which has already expended The
fund collected under the law Of last winter. TO
raise and send up here seven per cent. Of that
fund. That being the case. this amendment
should not be adopted. He should OPPOSE
spending money 10 build up an institution
which would give salaries 10 persons who
might spend their tine in perambIlating the
state teno-ncirg better nen than thev Ue
believed County Commissioners would take
care OF suffering soldiers and was willing To
trust this matter 10 them. lie gave many
reasons for his opposition to the building up Of
a state soldiers Home. for we have soldiers
Homes in every county. in every hamlet town
aud city. and In every heart.
MIR. THOMPSON would infer from remarks
made in this debate, thai indianapolis wanted
this Soldiers Home, and he desired 10 saw in
Justice TO his constituents. that this was the
first time he had heard Of il. either here or any
where else. His city had never dreamed Of
asking for Ii. lie saw justice In the amend-
ment now under consideration, and insisted
that IL should be concurred In without hesta-
ton on the part of the Senate.
Mr.. HANNA moved 10 postpone the further
consideration OF this question until o'clock
tomorrow morning. when he would propose
substitute giving 10 each disabled soldier one
hundred dollars. lie WAS willing 70 vote ev-
cry dollir In the Ire lsury for ch tritv. but not
one slgrte cent to build up An institution for
anV pet or any party.
Mr.. NILES doubted the wisdom OF postpon-
Ing action on this bill ut this late hour i'm the
session. Ii would be great misfortune were
this bill 10 fail, aud he hoped that ths Seuate
would act upon the amendment at once.
Mr.. OYLER also opposed postponement.
The motion 10 postpone was rejected.
Mr.. ALLISON demanded the previous ques-
ton. The Senate seso ded the demand; and
the main question WAS ordered.

Pending the roll cali
Mr.. BONHAM, when his name was called
said: A. far n my vote IL concerned. think
our County Commissioners have paid in in adj
vance all the moneys that should be required
Of them, ana with that view shall be compell-
eel To vote No."
Mr. BRADLEY, in explanation OF his vote.
said; Our County Commissioners say they
have borrowed considerable amount OF
money. Grd ] don't know but 10 the full
amount Of the income from the tax levied; and

The fourth amendment, providing that no
part Of The fund shall be applied in payment
Of bonds or orders issised to procure bountics
etc, being read tFl#
Mr.. DOwNEY opposed putting IN This prohi-
bition against the application of this money To
the payment Of these bonds. He WAS willing
10 trust this mattert 10 the County COmmlssiOn-
ers-they would be more apt 10 bestow this
money properly than the officers Of State
Mr.. NILES CONCEDED with the remarks Of
the senator from Chic Mr.. Downey.J
Dir. CA>ON had two or three reasons WHY
this amendment should he concurred I'm. Ii
YOU leave II discretionary with the County
Commissioners. they VIII 10 pressed II pay all
this money ont for the liquidation 81 bonds.
He opposed taking money raj -c, for support OF
