He desired the amendments to be expunged from tiie Journal.— Several members spoke on the motion. All seem ed to agree that it would be better to be expunged but the question was, whether the Senate should expunge and falsify the record. Mr. Thomas spoke against the expunging, lie was opposed to the Senate’s falsifying the record. Mr. Colquitt „aid, the question to expunge was clearly in or der. It was discretionary with the Senate to en tertain the motion. The Senator from Gwinnett called for a precedent. I Is would refer him to the proceedings of the Legislature of 179(5. where it would be found that the act, called the Yazoo Fraud Act,-was blotted out from the record and burned iu Milledgevilie, then Louisville, by Gov. James James Jackson, with fire from Heaven, by means of a sun-glass. This was a year after the foul act was passed, and the General Assembly witnessed the burning. The question was in or der. Mr. Williams, of Terrel, said there was a clause in the Constitution in direct opposition to the wish es of the gentleman. That instrument requires the proceedings of this House to be published and be fore that was was done, we had no right to ex punge anything from the Journal. Mr. Cone, of Bulloch, with his accustomed good sense, called for the previous question. Let 11s vote on the motion We have a good deal of bus iness before the Senate, let us proceed to some bus iness that is of more interest to the People.

Mr. Harris of Glynn wished to know what mis chief this bill will prevent. He was perfectly aware that many Railroad enterprises were com menced by parties who were not able to carry them out. Should they advertise their intention, others more able to carry them out would thus be ena bled to supersede them, he wished no legislation which would give one man an advantage over another—let all—rich and poor, stand on the same footing on this floor, he hoped the hill would not pass. Jlr. Wilkes, of Lincoln—It has been a custom in other States, to do the very thing the hill pro vides to do, thought it was important—the peo pie ought to know what their servants were doing —hoped the hill would pass. Upon the passage of the hill the yeas were 68 the nays 7ft So the bill was lost.

Before closing, we cannot forbear our regrets at parting with Jlr. Speer, the able, efficient and gen tlemanly Clerk of the House. In our intercourse with him, he lias always been kindand affable, af fording us every facility in his power, to enable ns to discharge our duties. We also tender to his successor, Jlr.

On motion to recommit to the Judiciary Com mittee, Mr Irwin of Wilkes said money was not a commodity as a horse, a mule or other article of merchandise. It was the only thing upon which the law puts a value—this law was uow being tried in other States—as a measure of Public Pol icy, it was doubtful—personally he did not care whether this hill passed or no—he was opposed to the hill last winter and was opposed to it now. Mr Gordon was in favor of the general princi ple of the bill, but hoped it would be recommitted. I11 an able and sensible speech he maintained his positions, evidencing a high order of talent and as being fully able to cope with any and all of his opponen ts. Mr. Wilkes said, if this hill proposed to make men pay their contracts, he was in favor of it in tolo. Jlr Gordon rejoined. Mr Hillyer in a few pertinent remarks signified his opposition to the bill.

Jlr B did not rise to be catechised. Jlr Walker of Henry, was opposed to all new counties, except on certain conditions. Mr Irwin of Wilkes—The question of lavino- over this question was in a nut shell. If jj, f are a majority of the legal voters of Fayette count '' in favor of the new county, let us layover the mi ter for a few days, it can do no harm.

It was a snap judgment. This hill had been passed through the Senate and is now sought to be hurried through the House. It had been a < )ues tion, whether any matter finally disposed of last session, could be entertained now. He had been informed of certain facts in regard to this petition and memorial, and he was iu favor of the postpone- ment. He was opposed to the policy of making new counties, but not committed against«//such projects. Mr Owens thought it would be safer to postpone the matter a few days. Jlr. F i ml lay of Lumpkin, in reply to the gentle man from Wilkes. I have a new petition Gentle man say they have not had time to get a new peti tion. They have had ample time. They cant get it I have a petition with several hundred names upon it. This Legislature should do every thing for the good of the people—I am willing to postpone the matter a few days.

Jlr. Hardeman opposed the passage of the Bill. He said it is not our business to dictate to future Legislatures. This Bill will be a nullity, and he should vote against it. Jlr. Jlilledge, of Richmond—We don’t bv this bill lie the hands of future legislatures—if it works badly, the legislature may at any time re peal it—at the the heel of the Session, hills of importance are frequently passed because no one has time to examine them Ac. Jlr. Hardeman—There is a difference between this and other hills, this bill lefers to the legisla ture. It is a question of privilege—there may be wants unexpectedly arising—should this bill pass, such wants may go unprovided for. We are a great aud growing people Ac.
