passing the bill, stating that there is gem
eral law now on the statute that covers all
that is proposed in the bill.
The yeas and nays were called on the

nays Is. So the bill was lost.

S. B. No. 81, Mr.. HALL-To provide
for locating, establishing and constructing
bitches, drains and water courses, being a
coditication of existing laws for said pur-
poses, and repeating all other laws relating
to said subjects, was read the third time.
Mr.. BOEHMER sincerely hoped the bill
would not pass. 1t would take learned
attorney to understand its provisions. II
such law should pass, the township
ditching laws might as we'll be struck from
the statute book. 1t would in effect, pre-
vent any Improvement of the marshy lands
of the northwest. The draining of the
marshy lands is necessary to preserve the
health of the people, and to aid in bring
ing into cultivation such lands. The pro-
visions of this bill are so exacting and diff
ficult to enforce, that it is next to impos-
sible to comply with such law. The petit
tions, notices, signers &C., are so arranged
as to cause delay in such Improvements
He regarded the whole bill as systematic
attempt TO aid speculators in escaping their
due share of the expenses for improving
the country.
Mr.: BAKER was opposed to the bill, and
could not imagine how such a bill could
pass the Senate unless it was in conse-
quence of its voluminous length. In his
opinion, to attempt to perfect such a
bill by amendment. would be like the at
tempt to make Bible by amending the
"Koran." He discussed at length the de-
fective features of the bill, and trusted the
1t would greatly oppress the people of the
northwest, and put back Improvements.
He regarded the bill as monstrosity in
nearly all its features.
Mr.. RUTTER moved to indefinitely post
pone the bill. The House agreed.
ii. B. No. BOG, MIR. WSON-To change
the name of the incorporated village of
Centreville, in the county of Gallia, to
Thurman, was read the third time, and
On motion of Mr.. SWAIN, was laid on
the table.
II. B. No. 337, Mr.. Acker-To provide for
surveying and plating certain lands in
Hooking county, was read the third time.
Mr.. ACKER advocated the passage of the
bill.
Mr.. POND also favored the bill. He
thought the lands alluded to in the bill
ought to be re-surveyed and numbered, the
correct boundary having been lost, so that
delinquent taxes, DC, might be collected.
The yeas and nays were called on the pas
sage of the bill, and resulted-yeas ", nays
l. So the bill passed.
