WHEREAS, the county of Somerset is pre-
sumed TO be incompetent to manage its mum.
cipal and financial affairs, therefore be il

Of all the county property therein, and
change, alter or remove the same from place
to place, as they may deem for the best good
of the people thereof.
The reading of the resolve was received
with suppressed merriment.
Mr.. HARRINGTON desired to ask if the hon.
orabe Senator intended to insist upon sus-
pension of the rules, or does he merely offer
his resolve as joke?
Mr.. LoTnRop replied that he presented the
resolve in no facetous spirit, but in all SINGER
ty and humility. As the Senate was thin,
(sensation) he asked permission to lay the
resolve on the table.
Sir. SMITH hoped that the Senator would
be allowed to have the rules suspended, and
the order laid upon the table.
Mr.. FARRINoroN remarked that as matter
of joke he would not object to the presenta-
ton of the resolve; but if it was seriously
placed before this Senate, he looked upon it as
a gross insult, and disrespect. He honored
the Senator from Somerset, but he was not
willing that such resolve shall be received
and placed upon the records Of the Senate.
Mr.. SMITH observed that he did not under
stand that a suspension of the rules was re-
CURED. This is a matter of redress of griev-
ance. (Subdued laughter.)

order, whether the resolve was properly be-
'ore the Senate, which resulted in Mr..
Lotlrop getting up and stating rather than To
