This talk was evidently not 20 the
liking Of Mr. Carter. for he rushed
into the breach with all the dash for
which the Boy Orator Of Nuuanu Val
ley is noted. He said that the Gov
eruor was not in the least partial, and
furthermore be would show q voeful
lack OF good sense if he had signed
the measure Mr. Carter Claimed that
any Governor having head on his
shoulders would never have signed
measure drawn up in the loose and
reckless manner in which the indie
pendent County bill was presented to
him. He characterized the deceased
County bill as a foolish measure. Nj
Carter was greatly grieved that such q
nondescript resolution should be pre-
scented to the Senate for considers

Several punches OF ancient history
were handed out by c. Brown. the
sage OF by-gone legislatures. in the
defense he put forth in the interests
Of the Governor. Mr. Brown felt
aggrieved over the want of confidence
manifested by the Independent mem

Mr. Brown, however, failed to explain
why he filed such vigorous objections
against the measure while it was be

Let us get down to real work and
stop all this foolish pickering" said
I Mr.. Baldwin. in an attempt to stem
/ the oHcoming tide of useless debate

( Baldwin suavely added that he had
read the County bill through, amend
ments and all, and he did not hesitate

| desirable provisions included in the

much of the failure OF the County
bin was that it did not provide fol
raising funds by taxation as has beer
provided under the Territorial law
No provisions were included for car
rying on the work of the county.
