Mr.. Finisy's Remarks ON Commits
sIOntr kpnight

iho loIio"inR III tue speech OF Representa-
tive Flnlay, Of Galveston, ia the house Of
representatives, delivered on Friday last, as
roported
Reaching tho departments of Insurance,
etc, Mr.. Flnlay moved to strike out the
entire appropriation. which includes the sals,
ry for Ool Spaight two clerks, stationery,
etc; also, $4,000 for publishing information
for immigration purposes, and $4,000 fo
representing Texas at the New York worlds
fair, in 1882.
Mr.. Fin|ay would, after striking out the
whole insert in another place An appropris-

may appear, ho said, that this is radical
amendment, but it is justified by the history
Of tho Office OF commissioner of insurance,

to talk Of giving $4,000 or $4,000 to this
Office, 10 write up u history of Texas. Give

Office, play the gentleman and do nothing;
81 500 for an insurance clerk, and as much
for another clerk, and librarian, and
porter to wait on these gentlemen, and
5000 for Office furniture have been warn
cd not to say snything about the gentleman,
but that only determines mo to do SO directly.
Tho constitution prohibits tho granting of
money for any purpose of immigration, and
| say We shall not do it. Now, $4,000 is
proposed to bo expended for that purpose
by this department. Now for this magnih-
cent gentleman; Why he don't speak to me,
as | understand, because he heard that said

blue! People generally speak to me; even
those who believe that nm no account ia
tho world, speak to me, and this magnificent
