indebtedness. 1t is as follows:
Resolved, That the Auditors report
shows that the county of Kent is in the
arrears for the amount OF sl2 1000,
and the county of Sussex is also IN ar
rsars for sl4, 900 for the State tax. The
Auditor says "the amounts have been
owing for nearly two years and that it
is about time this House took some a G.
ton in regard to the above matter.
The motion to call it up was voted
down emphatically.
The committee on Revised Statutes,
to whom was referred the claim for COM
mutation money, reported an amend
ment. THE amendment consists in the
mere striking out Of the name Of Judge
Fisher and leaving the responsibility
of the claim. altogether with Chas. II.
b. Day, Esq. The amendment was
read, and Mr.. Collins by whom the
matter was introduced, moved its adop-
ton.
[The matter is in the form of a joint
resolution authorizing the collection
from the United States OF any claim this
State may have for Communication money
advanced for person who paid commu-
tation and were afterwards required to
serve or furnish substitutes during the
war of lo6l-5, under the provision OF
the act OF Congress approved Feb. 18th,
1867, entitled ian act for the relief of
certain drafted men,"
Mr.. Dean opposed the resolution Wig
orclsly on the ground that If there was
such claim it was not the property
of the State. At the time the draft was
made 500 were paid by the State,
"this" said Mr.. Dean, 'was free will
Offering and the State has no right to
touch it, if the General Government
does mean to refund it. 1t belongs to
those to whom it was given or to their
heirs. They can collect it as we'll as
the gentleman who introduces this res
olution." He branded the measure as
being polite system of robbery, ne.
farious business, which for the sake of
decency as well as morality, the Legis-
lature should refrain from touching.
Mr.. Collins favored the resolution
for the reasons that were it possible
for individuals ts 60 to Washington to
search up the matter, the expense that
would be incurred would be such as to
eventually swallow up nearly the whole
of their claim.
Mr.. Cochran favored it OIL the same
ground and thought, additionally, that
if the money was really owing the State
then the State should have it by all
means.
The resolution was then carried, all
voting in the affirmative with the ex'
ception of Mr.. Dean.
