collars saved, he should be glad to vote for
the bill but he aid not think that could be
done. He insisted that it could not be done
by an officer already full of work without
employing competent person who would
virtually be Superintendent. In tnat
case, such person must be paid a salary,
and there would be no saving of money
lie thought it did not look well that no
move was made to abolish the office until
the Governor sent in the nomination of a
one-armed soldier to fill it. This &c nom-
lcal body will spend as much money in
abolishing the office as the office itself costs.
Mr.. COREY concluded by moving that
the further consideration of the bill be post
poned till the second Wednesday of January
next.
Mr.. STAMBAUGH. referring to the
charge that no movement was made to abol-
ish the office, until the nomination of a one
| armed soldier was sent in by the Governor
for the office, said that it was beneath the
dignity of Senator to make such charge
against other Senators. Mr.. S. said that
the determination had been made to abolish
the office long before the Governor sent in
the nomination referred to. For himself
he Mr.. s would sooner vote for the NOM
ination OF soldier, and especially OF lame
one to the office, than for that of any other
man. The charge that had been made was
direct stab, not only at the Democratic
Senators, but at the whole Senate. a
After some further remarks by Messrs.
Corey and Godfrey, the vote was taken on
the formers motion to postpone the bill,
