II seems 10 me there should be an emergency

Mr.. ROBINSON: rne time has come Tor
the passage OF this bill. There has been sew
erGl opinions expressed and | want to call
attention to them. The first is that there
should be an emergency clause This was
suggested by the author OF the bill, ard il
was referred TO the COMMITTEES on the Judi
cary and thsy etTacK 10 out. The report of
that onmittee has been coocurred in by
the House, bat still favor an emergency
clause; but it seems TO some objec.
toDable-there can not be an emergency
clause without delay. A similar bill to
this was delayed two years ago until it was
not passed. do not desire to impugn the

this bill it will share similar fate. / do

THE STATE TREAsURER's BOND.
Mr.. GORDON | am informed that House
Bill No. 3 has been returned from the
Senate. l therefore move 70 suspend the
order of business and take up the bill.
The motion was agreed to, and the Senate
amendment being read
Mr.. GORDON said: This bill, after mature
deliberation ard amendment passed by
this House. dc not believe that million
dollars is any too much for the amount of
the State Treasurer's bond. Five hundred
thousand dollars is not a sufficient bond,
therefore am opposed to the Senate amend
ment.
Mr.. COOLING: sm willing to vote for q
bill making the bond one million, but am
informed next Tuesday the Treasurer will
commence his new term OF Office, and unless
we pass some kind of bill he will only give
a bond for S150,000; therefore, rather than
have him give bond for $780, 900 only, am
in favor of concurring in the Senate amend
ment of $4,000
Mr.. McMULLEN: This House considered
this bill and came to the conclusion that the
amount Of the bond ought to be 81 900, 600.
Mr.. HARRELL latter the noon rscess)
said; When this bill was before the House
The amount OF the bond was fixed at 81 ,000.
600. | ana still of the opinion that is the
proper amount. 1t has been argued before
this House that ii would be better to c)ncede
70 the Senate than let the matter pass over
until next week. / am inclined to
think it would not be. IL the judg
ment of the House is that the pen
atty Of the bond should be ST. 600 600, we
ought 10 stick to is. On the first of Novem
Ger, 1884, there was baa 1cs OF cash in the
rreasurer's hands to the amount OF $f3l-
1854. Now a bond OF 100000 would
scarcely cover that. l fad further. on the
18th of January 1885. the to. amount the
Treasurer has received 10 be $40 154 33. II
seems to me the bond ought to be enough TO
make the people of the State feel secure.
The State Treasurer ought to be required to
give bond for everything be is to account
Tor. The bond should be sufficient to cover
every dollar in that treasury vault or wher-
ever it may be.
Mr. BROOKS; do not believe the bond
is sufficient to cover all the money that
comes into his hands
Mr.. ENGLE demanded the prayions ones
