Mr.. STICKNEY explained the object of 1
the document In question, and desired its j
publication. :
Mr.. HILL, of Erie, said he had Just en-
tered into computation, and found that
they had already spent time enough in this
discussion to pay for printing the report.
He would move the previous question.
The question being on the adoption Of
the minority report the yeas and nays were

T. - AFTERNOON SESSION.
The question being on the adoption of the
report of the Superintendent OF the State
House. ,t..., /
Mr.. THORNHILL said, if he was to con-
suit his own feelings. he must say he was
in favor of adopting the report as amend |
ed. He knew it would be a wise expendi-
ture of money 1t was frequently called
for, and he was willing to have it printed
for the public. To refuse to do SO might
be penny wise and pound foolish. The ex-
pense was mere trifle, and nobody would |
feel it. The House was often called upon |
to pass laws requiring vast outlays OF
money, at the request of the people, for
building town halls, court houses, &c. He |
intended to vote tor the resolution, and he
held himself amenable only to his constit, |
uents for his vote.
Mr. WOLF was decidedly opposed to
printing the report. If q hundred thou
sand copies were printed, they would be
used only as waste paper. VI. 4s.-..-I.l
Mr.. HILL, of Erie. said that what the
gentleman from Hamilton had said might
be true ofthe people of Hamilton, county
but his people were reading people, and
he wanted the report for their use.
Mr.. PENNISTEN was for retrenchment
in the matter of printing. He Thought it a
useless expenditure to appropriate money

The people expected retrenchment. The
people of his neighborhood had not been
inquiring for this report, so far as he knew.
Mir. EAMES favored the adoption OF the
resolution, as amended. His constituents
were desirous of obtaining such docu-
ments. He wished to CRAFTY them. 81
Mr.. MANN, of Franklin moved to
amend by requiring each member of the
House to contribute five dollars of his SAL
ary towards the publication of the report.
The question being on the adoption of
the amendment, the yeas and navs were
called and resulted-yeas 10, nays "a. Lost,
- Mr.. r.FIELDlNG was in favor of printing.
He deprecated the spirit of party on the
matter. The people Of Ohio had ibuiltthis
house out of their own hard earnings; they
had a right to know how the building was
built, and its history. He wanted those
that paid. tribute to Cesar to know how
that tribute was expended. Ours was q

he was a strict party man. In this in
stance he regarded this as no party mea-
sure. He was for having the report print
