The Resolution in favor of James Page being put on its second reading Mr. Francis called for the Vcaa and JNavs Mr, Wilson, of Edgecomb, desired to know what objections the Senator from Haywood had to the pas sage of the Resolution. He (Mr. W.) had under stood it to be the Universal custom to pnyDoorkeep- fs. their mileage, and per rfirts'for the time-they wpre in attendance upon either House before its or ganization, although they should not be successful in being re-elected ; and as such, he was prepared to vote for the Resolution, although the Doorkeeper should have come from Haywood, or even the most re mote Covnty in tie State! He was id'-lha-Jipiiikiii that all the officers of the preceding Legislature were bound to attend at any subsequent Session, and notwithstanding they may not be re-elected, they were certainly entitled to mileage, as well as the per diem for the time they did attend. Some remarks, ofjhc simn purport, were made by other Senators, when the vote" was takeii and the Resolution passed unmimonsly. Whereupon, Mr. Francis moved a suspension of the Rules requiring Resolutions of this nature to lie read on three several d.tVs. ahd moved that t h Re solution be remd a third time; which motion beinj; iiuit.vu, iia iiiru uucreii uie luiiuwiug amendment ' "And that the Public Treasurer bo aiithoMsed to pay Samue"! J. Finch for one day's attendance and milnon-a ol fits Hcc;., nf IS.IO" ' Mr Francis said that he had called for tho names, of Senators to be recorded solely on the grounds that " he was anxious to ascertain wh'ether the members of the Democratic party hail changed their notions ni- on this matter since 1812. At that Session he offer ed in the other House a similar Resolution embra cing the substance of the amendment now offered in favor of S. J. Finch. He was then denounced by the Democratic party as being too desirous of put ting, his hands into the public crib, in favor of men from his section of the State. In fact, said Mr. F, the matter was considered of such grave importance, as to elicit a labored article in tho organ of the De mocratic party in this City, to show his (Mr. F.'s) want of economy of the Public Funds. He said he was, however, happy to find, by the unanimous vote of the Senate on the Resolution now before them, a disposition to do justice and to pay to Mr: Page a quantum meruit for services rendered to this House at the opening of the Session ; and as the debt to Mr. Finch was still unpaid, although it w,ns contracted some four years ago, he was satisfied no Senator would think for a moment of bringing any statute of limitation to bear upon the claim of Mr. Finch. If, as he surely believed, the claim of Mr. Page was a just one and ought to be paid, surely that of Mr. Finch was of a similar character, and would, he hoped, without a dissenting voice, be voted for by 'every member of the Senate. Mr- Wilson said as the gentleman from Haywood had nowaccomplished his purpose of committing the Senate by their recorded votes, although he (Mr. W,), f hlread) committed by hit remarks Iteretofore wide, yet he wsJ-desirous or looking into the law and Tl.o Engrossed Bill o incorporate the Caldwell Institute, insAhe Town, of Hillsborough was taken up' and read the second tune, and, on motion of Mr. Gil mer, ordered to lio on the table.

H! White, a Bill to alter the tim pointing Superlntcndants of "Public Sc passed nrst reading, and was referred to the Com mittee on Education. The following Resolutions were rend the first time, passed aud referred to the Committee on Claims: By Mr, J. H. White, a Rosolulion in favor of Menj. Morris, late Sheriff of Lincoln County, Mr. Steele, one in favor of J. C. Knight, late Sheriff of Richmond, and Mr. Gamble, one in favor of Exekiel Brown! Mr. D. A. Barnes, of Northampton, presented the following Resolution, which was adopted : Raolred. That' the Committee "ou Claims be di rected to euipiire intothe amount of compensation to bepai'l to the Attorney General, for the prosncutious of suns In tho name and on behalf of the State, since the adjournment of the last Legislature. Mr. Brown, of .Sampson, introduced a Bill tti in corporate Thudeus Lodge, No. .1, of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, located in the Town of Cliu ton, Sampson County ; whfch passed first reading and was referred to the Committee on Private Bills. Mr. Gilliam, from the Committee on the Judiciary. retried unfavorably on the Homestead Bill ; w hich was, on motion, laid on the table. Mr. Gilliam, from the same Committee, reported, with an amendment, the Bill to amend the 3Ulh sec tion of the JDith Chapter of the Revised Statute, entitled " Salaries aud Fees;" which was adopted and the Bill pushed second reading. Mr. Hawkins, from the Committee on Claims, re ported, without amendment, th6 Resolutions in favor of Benj. Ivey, of Stanly Cotlnty, Robert B. Davis, late Sheriff of Wash ing' on County, and E. A. Moore, Sheriff of Caldwell County; which were severally read the second time and passed. Mr. Dancy, from the Committee on Education, re reportedj with'siindry amendments, the bill to, reduce the'Tax on Billiard Tables ; when Mr. Flemiuintc. of Yancy, siiid as a majority of the Committee ou Edu cation, had determined upon a reduction of the tax on Billiard Tables, and had also reported an amend ment to the Bill before the House, by which it is proposed, that the Revenue arising from that source shall tie applied to the general expendiiures ot Gov ernment instead of the School Fund ; he thought it proper that the Bill should be referred to the Com mittee on the J udiciary, and moved its reference ac cordingly. Mr. Washington said, that as a merrfber of the Judiciary Committee as-well a the Committee on Education, he concurred in the views of the gentle man from Y'uuey, (Mr. Flenmiing.) It did seem somewhat outro lor the Committee on Ethication to be reporting "a bill for the reduction of the tai on Billiard Tables' It was certainly difficult on the first blush, to see the exact connexion between the two subjects! But it Would be recollected by thoHousc. that the original bilj introduced by the gentleman from New Hanover, (Mr. Williams,) was entitled "a bill to increase the School fund," and such hoir.gthe "title as well as the pirn and object of the bill, it was very naturally and properly fyfarrecl to the Com mittee on Education. In the consideration of the bill, that" Committee thought two questions presented 'themselves: firsi. ought the tax on Billiard Tables to be reduced ut all ? And secondly, if the tax was reduced, should any Revenue arising therefrom, be added to the School Fund of the particular Counties in which such Tables wtre estul lished, or go into the Puotsc Treasury to meet the current expenses of the GoWj crnment f , On the first point, the Committee were unanimous ly of opinion, that while the present tax of five hun dred dollars was never vitewlrd'by the Legislature as a prohibition, it had nevertheless in fact operated at such ; and as a Revenue measure, it was both neces sary and proper, that there should be a reduction of the tax imposed. To this proposition, Mr. W. him self, the-more readily assented, because a very large and respectable portion of his constituents, hod by a snomorial which he had the honor to present a few .days ago, expressed a wishthatsucb reduction should be made, so for at least as the County uf L raven wus concerned. On the question of the appropriation of tiny nue which mipht be riunAil frm flip lav. on Rill Tables, there was naturally much more difficulty' other, as much as to say what docs all this mean 7 and division among the members of the Committee, j Mr. Wu.soh at last rose, and evidently expecting , It was contended on the on hwl tinit as then would catch ,Wtf,'legged to knew of the Senator 1 be of course but few Billiard Tables in the State.. . . . , ' . . i aud as those Counties wber thev were situated from Hiywooc? -what was in the wind now) Was would necessarily not only pay the principal part of not this a proper Resolution I Was not Mr. Page , euch pay heretofore, and he knew no resson why should not he granted in this case. Mr. F. wiu n gain interrogated as to his intention The Senator from over the Mountains still did not choose to answer, but he looked things unutter able. The Democrats were still more distressingly bewildered. The Yeas and Nays w,.re takenMr. Ai.BHiaiiT (Whig) led the dance by voting Yea the next on the liet did the some, and aU, both Whigs and Democrats, rec i led their votes in favor of the Resolution, until the rami of Mr. Fa a it is was call ed, and he voted a sonorous over the fin es of both in it. It was sure to burst out somehow and some where, but no one knew. where or when ut least, we so judged, from the queer and doubting looks of Senators. The Senate votil, unanimously for the Resolution.

We have forgotten, if we ever knew, who has Ihe credit of haviog first given currency to this sage aph orism. Wc bt-lieve it is not found in tttiilem verbis. in Solomon's Proerbupblit it w is known, probably, before his day. It is certainly known as a truth in ours; and is-properly appreciated, by this time, in our own Senate. An exemplification of its force oc curred in tb.t body, last Saturday. A Resolution was on its second reading, allowing to JasfJ Pane, th Democratic Doorkeeper of the Senate last Session regular pay for one day's ser vice at the beginning of this Session, and also his mileage in coining from homo to Ruleiglij to wait at the door, until the Semite was duly organized. True, he was f candidate for re-election, and came for that purpose; but It was maintained by his friends, that that made no difference. He was an officer of the Senate until another was appointed, and as such, was entitled to his pay for services performed until his successor was chosen. .

During his brief term iu orlirie as Secretary of the Mavy under the Harrison Administration, he proved himself au able Cabinet office, and an honest and independent public man. His accession to the Senate will be a v.uluable addition even ti the number of eminent Whig statesmen who now adorn its councils, and sustain the principles in which the prosperity of our country is involved.
