' Mr. Ellison moved to amend by mak ing the price 62 cents instead of, 40 cents. Mr. York moved the previous ques tion, and the House ordered the main question to be put. The question then recurring on the amendment offered by Mr. Ellison, it did not prevail, and the. ouestion then recurring on the motion of Mr. Covington, that the House con cur m the substitute adopted Dy the Senate, the yeas and nays were ordered on demand of Mr. Ellison, and the mo tion prevailed. Mr. Turner moved to take up and consider his resolution to expel himself. The motion did not prevail. Mr. Foard moved to take up House bill 32, bill to abolish the office of State Geologist, and put the same on its sev eral readings. The motion prevailed arid the bill was read the second time. - Mr.Foard said that in introducing and urging the passage of the bill now under consideration he was performing about the most unpleasant dutv of his life. Prof. Kerr had been a life-long friend of his own, and for him as a man he had the highest regard and esteem. But in this question the State had an interest. From every county the Leg islature was in receipt of petitions pray ing that the strictest economy be en forced in all departments of the gov ernment. That reform was the watch word of the lwur, That.the Legislature had cut out much cloth and it was now time to build the garments. That the State Geologist's office bad for 26 years been a rat hole through which $5,000 annually had run out of the public crib. That the State had never received any benefit from this expenditure, and that even if it had ever been useful, it was now rendered unnecessary by the estab lishment of the agricultural depart ment, which does all the good to be de lved trom the twt departments.- That it was time to cut out the gore1 from the body politic, and that .this.wa's a chron- sore, wmcn since its esiaonsnment las drained me public ot more than $120,000 and shows no sign of healing. That no good results to the State could result from continuing the office. Mr. Holt favoredthe bill. The Leg islature was pledged to retrenchment and reform, and useless expenditures must be stopped, fie said that Prof. Kerr had never made a track in his county (Johnston) except iossibIValonr the line of the railroad. . Messrs. Clarke and Etheridce opposed the passage ef the bin. ' Mr. McLean favored the idea, but did not like to turn the whole thing over to the agricultural department, which he thought needed investigating itself. Mx. Lewis , thought, tins a good place to begin retrenchment. The office was useless; Prof. 'Kerr had never made a single visit to his county. Mr. smith also favored the bill He thought the agricultural department could do all that both now dow Mr. Amis favored the bilL The office is unnecessaryrftwd-the expense- "Should oe stopper r w MrBrown. 6f YadKiii: favored the bill. In his county, also, the geologist had never set foot. Mr. Foard moved the previous mies- tion, and the House ordered the main question to lie put. The question then recurring on the passage ot the bill, th yeas anu nays were ordered, and the bill passed. The bill was then read and passed the third time. Mr. Turner rose to a question of priv ilege. He said that the attacks on him in the papers were such that he could not have due weight in the House. He read extracts from the paper complain eu vi, aim anerwaros spoKe at some length. When Mr. Turner sat down, me i louse, on motion, adjourned, The Speed of a Dop, ReldsYilleTtaneSiV ! " '!
