zed to visit the several institutions under their

cradle importance. There has been dis
position on the part Of the legislature for
few year, past to retrench, to very great
extent, and he thought they had carried out
this idea to some advantage to the State. He
hoped the present legislature would not de-
part from the doctrine Of retrenchmsnt adopt
ed by former legislatures, and as for him,
occupying the seat he did this year the seat
of the gentleman from Whitefeld, he felt n
desperate responsibility resting upon him. If
it was absolutely necessary that visits should
| be made to these institutions by the members
of the different committees, he should favor
the amendment offered by the gentleman from
Gray. He was opposed to the order as it
stood, because the benefit to the State was
small in comparison with the expense of these
visits.
| MIR. MATHEWS remarked that being new
member, and very anxious to learn every
thing there is connected with this institution,
he had obtained by solicitation or otherwise,
invitations from three or four members of
these different committees, as friend, to ac-
company them. He understood this to be
custom with these committees, to GO them
selves and take their friends with them. He
was afraid if the order did not pass that he
should be excludes from some visits. But to
look at the matter seriously, it appeared to
him that the amendment offered by the gen.
tleman from Gray was very liberal and prop
er. and it should be deemed sufficient.
Mr.. VINToN thanked the two last gentle
men for their support Of his amendment and
further spoke in behalf of his proposition.
The amendment was adopted and the order
passed
