THE ORPHAN ASYLUM.
Mr.. Sumner moved to take up o bill
which he introduced some time since ; that
it be ordered to engrossment. 1t was q
bill upon which there would be probably
considerable discussion. He desired that
the bill be e~ngrossed, and that It be- dis.
cussed upon its final passage. He moved
the bill a%ppropriating money for the benefit
of the Sisters of Charity, at Virginia, be
taken from the table. Agreed to.
Mr.. Winton said that he voted for the
resolution to print the report OF the Com
mittee on State Affairs, that the same
could be circulated over the Senate, and
the object of printing the report would
not be attained IL the bill was made the
special order for tomorrow.
Mr.. Kellogg favored making the bill the
special order for Friday next.
Mr.. Sumner desired that It be consider
ed this week-he suggested Friday; he
wanted every member to have time to con-
slider the bill and hear from his constitu-
ents, but the session was drawing to a
close and he desired it acted upon soon.
Mr.. Ives said his constituents could not
get the printed report before next Thurs
day. and he could not receive ar express
sion of their views before next week.
Mr.. Seely said II the bill was to be post
poned till next Tuesday, he would oppose
engrossing it at the present time. There
might be amendments the members would
desire to make before it was considered
upon its final passage.
Mr.. Sumner said he desired that when
the discussion Of this bill took place, il
should be upon its final passage and not
upon the question Of amendment or en-
grossment. aHhI @"H az 60
Mr.. Haines said he took the same
ground as Mr.. Seely a. to the effect OF q
refusal to engross the bill. He was q
friend to the bill, but did not want 1t en-
crossed at the present time. 1884
Mr.. Lockwood said when he wal called
upon to vote on the engrossment Of the
bill he had to express himself whether he
was in favor or opposed to it. He expect
ed he would be opposed to the bill. but
under some circumstances he might favor
O similar bill. There were two questions
OF importance in the lbill-whether it was
policy to make such an appropriation. and
II so, what amount the State could afford
to give. -r4 ~ tsa
Mr. Sumner said he had heard from a
great number of persons on the subject,
and the feeling seemed to be unanimous in
favor of the bill. He was confident that
an overwhelming majority Of the register
ed voters Of the State were in favor OF it.
It was q question Of general interest and
Importance to the people of the State, and
he desired q fair discussion on, the merits
Of the measure. sou n.aafa.E
Mr.. Lockwood moved to postpone the
matter till tomorrow at 2 P. N.

did not desire to vote IN the engrossment
of the bill at the present time, for he
would have to vote against II and thus
