The Senate soon after adopted the reso-
lution, and the Chair appointed Messrs.
GARNErT, BRAxToN, and DICKINSON the
committee to wait on the Governor.
A message from the Senate announce
that they had concurred in the proposition

The House resumed the consideration OF
the rim relating to inspections OF TOBACCO
Vending the motion of Mr.. CRUMP to insert
The words q without compensation " IN the
section authorizing the tobacco inspectors
| 10 sell tobacco on commission.
Mr. 4; ,rRyrT addressed the House In op-
nosiiian 10 the amendment. He said there
were bu, two sections in the bill that were
impor,ant to the tobacco planters-the IN
surance BY the State, and the privilege OF
| the ipspcctors to sell tobacco-strike out
| these. and the farmer cared nothing for the
bill.
The debate was continued by Messrs.
Scorr and BowLEs in opposition to the
amendment, and by Messrs. WATKINS and
CRUMP in favor of it.
Mr.. ROBERTSON would vote against the
amendment simply because he saw that 1t
was supported by the cities and opposed
by the farming interest; the farmers ought
| to be allowed to sell their tobacco in the
manner they selected.
The vote on the amendment was decided
in the negative-ayes, z; noes, 20.
The bill prohibited the inspector from
buying tobacco at his warehouse.
| On motion Of Mr.. KELLEY, an amendment
was adopted prohibiting him from buying
tobacco at any warehouse located in the
4 city or county in which his warehouse is
located.
Mr.. BRAxToN moved to strike out the 9Th
section, which gave the appointment OF in
spectors to the county courts, and to the
hastings courts in the city Of Richmond
and town Of Danville.
The motion was opposed by Messrs.
WHITE and GARRETT, and supported by Mr..
MosBY; and rejected.
Some other unopposed amendments were
made, on motion of Mr.. CLARK, of Camp
bell.
Mr.. WATKINS moved to strike out from
the bill the part imposing specific charge
on each hogshead of tobacco stored in a
warehouse for insurance by the State. Mr..
W. contended that the State had no more
right to insure tobacco than corn, and oats,
and wheat, and potatoes. Some few years
since statement was prepared by order
of the Legislature which showed that the
State had received the sum of S75S,OOO
for insurance, and had paid only SCI ,OOo
for losses on insurance; and unless the
State intended this as q revenue tax, the
policy was wrong. He stated that while
the State had made profit by it, at one
time, there was more than million OF dol
lars worth of tobacco in the public ware
house, for insuring which the State re-
ceived the sum of probably $500.
The debate was continued by Messrs.
CRUMP, SCOTT, and u. TURNER.
Mr.. CRUMP stated that the large sum
supposed to be derived from insurance was
derived in part from storage. The profit
| from insurance he thought would not be
found to be large. He also stated that the
State now owned not a single warehouse
in the city of Richmond. The lot on
which the only one it owned had stood was,
by bill passed the present session, Or
dered to be sold. d
Mr.. ScoTT argued that, in view of the
great value of the tobacco crop, the i'm
portance to the whole State of its security,
and further that as the State has not lost
by insuring, the policy ought to be con-
tinued.
Mr.. WooD contended that as the State
had no warehouse now, she had better
stop insuring-the danger of loss was
greatly increased, and the State had better
pocket the profits and retire winner, rather
| than continue and be loser.
Mr.. BALDWIN (Mr. GARNETT in the
chair addressed the House generally
against the participation of the State in
| the business of the people. The explosion
of the Confederacy had relieved her Of
banks; there was prospect OF her selling
out her interest in railroads; she would be
glad to give away her turnpikes; and then,
if she would give up the tobacco inspec-
tons, she would be well rid of the whole
matter of meddling with the private occu-
pations Of the people. Business would be
great deal better managed, and the
State would be relieved Of trouble from
these conflicts Of interest, and the Legis-
lature from these disturbing questions.
The debate was continued by Mr.. CLARK,
of Campbell, in support of the system OF
inspections and insurance by the State.
Before the question was disposed of, the
hour for the order Of the day arrived, and
the House took up the railroad consolida-
ton bill to facilitate the completion of the
CUMBERLAND GAP RAILROAD.
The question pending was the motion to
| reconsider the vote by which the bill was
lost yesterday for the want of constltu-
tional vote and being put, was decided in
the affirmatiye-ayes, SIS; noes, n.
The question recurring upon the pass
age of the bill, it was decided in the affirm
ative-ayes, So; noes, "a. So the bill
passed, receiving the vote of the majority
Of the whole House.
INTEREST ON STATE DEBT.
