After the roll call, but before the vote was announced -
Mr. BENNETT, in explanation of his vote, said that he was not here when this bill was considered and did not, know what all of its provisions were, but having found from inquiry of those who ought to know, that it is a good bill, and seeing his political friends all voting for it, he would do the same.
THE DRUNKARD.
Mr. Milligan's bill [S. 141] declaring drunkenness a misdemeanor, (see page 135} having failed to pass day before yesterday, it was taken up.
[Leave of absence was obtained for Mr. Smith till Tuesday, and for Mr. Niles till noon.]
page: 354[View Page 354]Mr. CHURCH believed it as much a crime to drink as to sell intoxicating liquors, and ten times more a crime where the man makes himself a beastly drunkard. He never knew a whisky shop to chase after the people, but it was a common thing for men to run after whisky shops. This law works well in the cities, and why not adopt it for the country? He was astonished that any temperance man should oppose it.
Mr. OYLER also had a poor opinion of the temperance man who would vote against this bill.
Mr. MASON could not see why it is proposed to punish a drunkard for acting:in a rude and insolent manner, and allow those who are not drunk to act so with impunity.
Mr. BENNETT said: The Senate has passed a law licensing the sale of liquor, and he would not vote to punish a man for purchasing what we have said may be sold. He wanted to be consistent.
Mr. BONHAM favored this bill for the reason the Senator from Fayette [Mr. Bennet] opposed it. We ought to have some protection against drunkenness in public places. It has become an easy matter to tell when a man is drunk. He had not been on the cars for the past six months without being annoyed by drunken men. This is certainly a good bill, and it ought to pass.
Mr. CASON thought himself as good a temperance man as any gentleman on the floor, but always opposed this kind of legislation, for the reason that a person becoming intoxicated has no control over himself; and it was a great hardship to punish a man for acts done while in that condition.
Mr. RICE could not understand how drunkenness can be an excuse for crime. This bill would prove a direct benefit to the family of the drunkard. Just such a law as this would prove more of a terror than any other enactment gentlemen can pass. This is a better law than the one passed the other day; and this is just the very law the] people have been petitioning for.
Mr. CHURCH believed this to be the most important bill on this subject that has been before the Senate; and spoke again in favor of its passage.
The bill failed to pass for want of a constitutional majority - yeas 20, nays 26 - as follows.
YEAS - Messrs. Armstrong, Bellamy, Bonham, Brown, Church, Hyatt, Johnson, Lewis, Milligan, Noyes, Oyler, Reagan, Rice, Richmond, Robinson, Terry, Thompson, Ward, Wolcott and Mr. President (Cumback) - 20.
NAYS - Messrs. Barker, Bennett, Bowman, Cason, Carson, Cravens, Cullen, English, Gifford, Hanna, Houghton, Howk, Huey, Humphreys, Jaquess. Lee, Mason, Newlin, Parrish Reynolds, Sherrod, Smith, Staggs, Stein, Taggart and Turner - 26.
Mr. CASON, at the suggestion of Mr. Terry, moved to reconsider the vote just taken.
The motion was agreed to.
On motion by Mr. TERRY, the bill was recommitted with instructions to strikeout "10" and insert "1" in lieu, strike out "30" and insert "20" in lieu, and strike out "drugs."
Subsequently -
The Committee on Temperance returned the bill amended as instructed; and the report was concurred in.
Mr. Richmond's bill [S. 144] to provide for impartially impanneling juries, (on page 320 of these Reports) which failed to pass last Tuesday, was now rejectedyeas 19, nays 24 - as follows:
AYES - Messrs. Armstrong, Bellamy, Bonham, Cason, Houghton, Hyatt, Jacquess, Johnson, Lewis. Mason, Newlin,Oyler. Reagan,Reynold, Rice, Robinson, Stein, Terry, and Turner - 19.
NAYS - Messrs. Barker, Bennett, Bowman, Brown, Carson, Church Cullen, English,Gifford, Hanna, Howk. Huey, Humphreys, Lee, Noyes, Parrish, Richmond, Sherrod. Smith, Staggs, Taggart, Thompson, Ward and Wolcott - 24.
Pending the roll call -
Mr. BENNETT said there was no necessity for such a bill as this. If it were to pass, a Sheriff would scarcely ever get to perform his duties in any casethere would be objections preferred continually.
Mr. CULLEN, when his name was called, said: I have just as much confidence in Sheriffs as I have in Judges, as a general rule; for I had a case last week where the Judge decided to give four hundred and fifty dollars damages for the pasture of three hundred and twenty-five head of sheep a little lass than three months. I have just as much confidence in Sheriffs as I have in Judges and will vote against the passage of this bill. "No."
Mr. OYLER, when his name was called, said: I have just as much confidence in Sheriffs as I have in Judges, and no more. We have a law now by which when a man makes an affidavit that the Judge is prejudiced against him, he can have a change of venue; and I am in favor of having a law so that when a man makes an affidavit that that the Sheriff is biased against him he can have an impartial man to impannel a jury. I shall vote for thfs bill. "Aye."
The result was then announced as above recorded.
Mr. PARRISH, from the Committee on Military Affairs, submitted a report on the Adjutant General's office, which characterizes that officers' report as one of the most valuable of its kind, &c.
On his motion the reading thereof was dispensed with and 200 copies ordered printed.
On motion of Mr. CUMBACK (Mr. Stein in the chair) his bill S. 182 - see page page: 355[View Page 355] 355280 of these reports - was made the special order for Tuesday 10 o'clock A. M.
Mr. Steins' bill [S 142] paving to Morehead. Hall & Co., $23,494 07, and to H G. Wright and the heirs of Patrick Shann on for $33,763 48; being read the third time -
Mr. STEIN explained his bill. The money due these parties is for work done by them on the Wabash & Erie Canal in Tippecanoe county in the years- 1842, '43 and '44; and the claims have been before the General Assembly several times but never were repudiated.
The bill failed to pass for want of a constitutional majority - yeas 23; nays, 22.
Mr. Richmond's bill [S. 218] directing State and county officers to receive certain certificates as payments of money, being read the third time -
Mr. RICHMOND explained. The bill provides that certain claims against the State, held by individuals for labor performed, shall be received in payment for swamp lands, &c.
It was passed by yeas 26, nays 14.
On motion by Mr. STEIN the vote of yesterday afternoon, passing the ten per cent, interest bill [S. 93 - see page 105 and 321] of these Reports;] was reconsidered; the bill was amended by striking therefrom all that relates to amending the present law leaving it as an independent proposition; and it was again passed by yeas 33, nays 7.
On motion by Mr. HANNA. the bill [S. 228introduced day before yesterday] regulating the measurement of work done by certain mechanics, was read the second time.
He moved for a dispensation that the bill may be read the third time now.
Mr. CARSON stated that the bill contemplates the measurement for brick-layers as the brick come from the kiln, and not as they are laid in the wall: and in that particular changes the whole rule of business as it now is. He preferred to leave these matters as they are.
The motion to dispense with the constitutional provision was agreed to - yeas 35, nays not reported - and the bill was read the third time.
On motion by Mr. CARSON, the bill was referred to a special committee of three, which the PRESIDENT makes to consist of Messrs. Carson, Reagan and Huffman.
Mr. Bennett's bill, [S 84] increasing the salaries of Circuit [to $2 500] and Common Pleas Judges [to $2,000] being read the third time -
Mr. CRAVENS moved to recommit the bill with instructions to reduce each salary $500, adding a docket fee of one dollar for each and every case disposed of, and to repeal the old section.
Mr. OYLER opposed this motion - it would duplicate the pay of the Judges. Before concluding he gave way for a motion to adjourn.
The Senate took a recess till two o'clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Mr. OYLER resumed. Every man who serves the public ought to be well paid. But the proposition before the Senate - allowing Judges docket feesis about the worst thing that could be done, in his opinion.
Mr. BELLAMY proposed a substitute for rhe pending motion - leaving the salaries of the Circuit Judges as they are, and raising the salaries of the Common Pleas Judges to $1,800.
On motion of Mr. JOHNSON, the bill and pending propositions were indefinitely postponed by yeas 30, nays 13.
Mr. OYLER moved to reconsider the vote just taken.
On motion by Mr. HANNA, this motion was laid on the table.
A CLAIM FOB $57.258 15.
On motion by Mr. CULLEN, the bill [H. R. 142] for the payment of $23.494 67 to Morehead, Hall & Co., and $33,763 48 to Jacob Barkus and the heirs of Patrick Shannon - which failed to pass this morning - was again taken up.
Mr. HANNA knew, as to the claim of Mr. Shannon, that there never was a claim more just. As to the balance he knew nothing.
Mr. THOMPSON thought it strange that these claims were allowed to become twenty-three years old, and that it would be a dangerous thing to pay a claim so old.
Mr. CULLEN rehearsed some of the testimony presented before the Committee; and replied to the objection as to the age of these claims. As chairman of the Committee he had investigated this matter and satisfied himself that the bill was correct.
Mr. NOYES had considerable experience on Claims' Committees and stated that it was usual for parties when they found their claims would be reported against, to use every effort to keep a report from being made; and the House Committee of 1857 not having reported back that claim makes a bad showing for it. Then it is not likely they would allow this claim to drag along for so many years without pushing it with more vigor if it was entirely fair.
Mr. RICE stated that it was a new claim to him and he would have to trust a great deal in this case to the Committee's investigation.
Mr. NILES said that he had never heard of this claim till this afternoon; that he had just been informed that a committee of the House in 1857 examined and reported page: 356[View Page 356] against these claims, and he desired to examine that report before he could vote, intelligently in favor of the claim.
The kill was passed by yeas 26, nays 18 - as follows:
YEAS - Messrs. Barker, Bennett, Bonham, Church, Cravens, Cullen, Hanna, Huey, Huffman, Humphreys, Jaquess, Lee, Mason, Newlin, Oyler, Parrish, Rice, Richmond, Robinson. Sherrod, Staggs, Stein, Taggart, Turner, Wolcott and Mr. President (Cumback)- 26.
NAYS - Messrs. Armstrong, Bellamy, Bowman. Brown, Carson, English. Grifford, Houghton, Howk, Hyatt, Lewis , Niles, Noyes, Reagan, Reynolds, Terry, Thompson and Ward - 18.
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
The PRESIDENT announced the consideration of the special order for this hour, viz: Mr. Stein's bill [S. 139] establishing an agricultural college, and locating the same at the Tippecanoe Battle Ground; together with majority and minority reports thereon from the Committee on Education; the pending question being on the location of the college - acting under the resolution adopted last Friday afternoon.
Mr. TURNER renewed his motion to indefinitely postpone this subject; and upon that motion he demanded the previous question.
The demand was seconded by 24 Senators.
The motion to indefinitely postpone was agreed to by yeas 24, nays 23 - as follows:
YEAS - Messrs Baker, Bellamy, Bowman, Carson, Cravens, English, Houghton, Howk, Huey, Huffman, Humphreys, Hyatt, Jaquess, Lewis Niles, Noyes, Reagan, Rice, Staggs, Taggert, Terry, Thompson, Turner and Ward - 24.
NAYS - Messrs. Armstrong, Bennett, Bonham, Brown, Cason. Church, Cullen, Gifford, Hanna, Johnson, Lee, Mason, Milligan, Newlin, Oyler Parrish, Reynolds, Richmond, Robinson, Sherrod, Stein, Wolcott and Mr. President (Cumback)- 23
Mr. NILES moved a reconsideration of the vote, stating that he expected a motion would be made to lay his motion on the table, that an end might be made of this matter for the session.
Mr. TURNER moved to lay the motion to reconsider on the table.
Mr. CASON demanded a call of the Senate - if this thing is to be murdered in this way he wanted to see every Senator on the record.
The call proceeded till 47 members answered to their names.
The motion to lay on the table the motion to reconsider was agreed to by yeas 27, nays 19.
HOME INSURANCE COMPANIES.
Mr. Bellamy's bill [S. 108] amending sections 26 and 55 of the act for the incoporation of insurance companies, etc., approved June 17, 1852, being read the third time -
Mr. BELLAMY explained that this bill requires that the reports of said companies to the State Auditor shall be itemized as to all matters connected with their business every year, the whole object being to hold companies to a more strict accountability.
The bill was passed by yeas 26, nays 13.
Mr. CULLEN was satisfied the object of he bill is right, and that the people have been imposed upon by some irresponsible companies, but while that is true, our home insurance companies have to compete with large and powerful companies of the East, and we should protect them. We have passed a law placing home and foreign insurance companies on an equal footing, and now requiring this in addition of our home companies seems to be entirely wrong. He hoped some Senator voting with the majority would move for a reconsideration.
Mr. RICE moved to reconsider.
Mr. BELLAMY resisted the motion in a short speech.
The motion to reconsider was rejected - affirmative 14, negative 18.
SCHOOLS FOR COLORED CHILDREN.
Mr. Kinley's bill [S. 117] amending section 1 Of the common school law by striking out the proviso "that the taxes aforesaid shall not be levied or collected from negroes or mulattos," and by striking from section 10 the word "white," being read the third time -
Mr. CASON explained its provisions
The bill was passed by yeas 26, nays -as follows:
YEAS - Messrs. Armstrong, Bellamy, Bennett, Bonham, Brown, Cason, Church, Cravens, Cullen, Houghton, Hyatt, Jaquess, Lewis, Milligan, Noyes, Oyler, Parrish, Reagan, Reynolds, Robinson, Stein, Terry, Thompson, Ward, Wolcott and Mr. President - 26.
NAYS - Messrs, Barker, Bowman, Carson, English, Gifford, Howk, Huey, Huffman, Humphreys, Lee, Mason, Newlin. Sherrod, Staggs, Taggart and Turner - 16.
Leave of absence was obtained for Mr. Huffman till Tuesday morning; and for Mr. Lee till Monday afternoon, on account of sickness in his family.
BILLS ON THE FINAL READING.
Mr. Terry's bill [S. 116] to amend sections 18 and 25 of an act for the government of the Indiana Hospital for the insane, approved January 15, 1852; being read the third time -
Mr. TERRY said the bill increases the clothing required by law for female patients - adding" two quilted underskirts and two night gowns. It also compels sheriffs to remove discharged patients from the Hospital upon being notified by the Superintendent.
The bill was passed by yeas 38, nays 3.
Mr. Niles' bill [S. 120] amending section 63 of the misdemeanor act of June 14, 1852 (see page 111 of these Reports) was read page: 357[View Page 357] the third time and passed by the Senate by yeas 35, nays 5.
The Military Committee's bill [S. 160] disfranchising deserters (see page 184 of these Reports) being read the third time -
Mr. BENNETT moved to recommit the with instructions to amend so as to include any person who served in any capacity in the rebel army.
Mr. ARMSTRONG moved to insert "voluntarily "
Mr. BENNETT accepted.
Mr. TURNER moved to add "all dishonorably discharged from the Union army."Mr. HANNA moved ineffectually to lay the motion to recommit on the table, yeas 16, nays 24.
Mr. TURNER withdrew his motion.
The motion to recommit was agreed to by yeas 24, nays 17.
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.
Mr. Wolcott's bill [S. 153] authorizing Bishops to appoint two laymen or one layman and a pastor, who may elect the title by which they shall be distinguished as a body corporate, &c., being read the third time -
Mr. BENNETT desired that no man should be deceived by any such flank movement as is proposed in this bill. If you want to put the Catholic church in a higher position than other churches in the land, do it fairly and squarely, and not in such a way as is proposed in this bill. This is the same bill which was defeated here the other day, only it is covered up.
Mr. CULLEN moved to recommit the bill to the Committee on Corporations, with instructions to strike out the second section and insert in lieu words to the following effect:
This act to take effect whenever it, shall be officially made know to the Governor of Indiana that the Pope of Rome has consented to the establishment of Protestant churches in the city of Rome.
On motion of Mr. HANNA the motion to recommit was laid on the table, by yeas 26, 17.
Mr. RICHMOND moved to indefinitely postpone the bill.
This motion was laid on the table, by yeas 22, nays 21.
Mr. BENNETT moved to recommit the bill, with instructions to amend so as to allow the members of the church to elect their trustees.
Mr. WOLCOTT hoped the question would be met fairly. Such an amendment would destroy the effect and intention of the bill. The question is whether we will allow the Catholic church to govern their own affairs in their own way.
Mr. CULLEN was opposed to legislating specially for the Catholic Church. He would have all churches come square up to the general law now on the statute book.
Mr. TURNER did not propose to invade the sanctuary of any church to dictate to them. He moved to lay the motion to recommit on the table.
The motion was agreed to by yeas 22, nays 20.
Mr. TURNER said the Catholic people labor under disadvantages - they are a great and good people - and do you want to choke down all discussion as to whether hey are entitled to privileges under our laws? We propose to show that it is impossible to confer corporate rights upon this church exactly on the same terms it is conferred upon other churches. If gentlemen want to convert Catholics into Republicans and Protestants this is not the means to do it. You can not drive them into a change of their religion - they are a stubborn people. The way to convert them is by kindness. This country owes to our foreign population - a majority of whom are Catholics - its greatness and its power. They build our railroads and canals and are they to be denied legal privileges granted to others?
The bill failed to pass for want of a constitutional majority - yeas 23, nays 21 - as follows:
YEAS - Messrs. Barter, Bowman, Carson, Church, English, Gifford, Hanna, Houghton, Howk, Huey, Humphreys, Mason, Newlin, Oyler, Parrish, Reynolds, Sherrod, Staggs, Stein, Taggart, Turner, Ward, and Wolcott - 23.
NAYS - Messrs. Armstrong, Bellamy, Bennett, Bonham, Brown,Cason, Cravens, Cullen, Hyatt, Jaquess, Johnson, Lewis, Milligan, Noyes, Reagan, Rice, Richmond. Robinson, Terry, Thompson, and Mr. President Cumback - 21.
Pending the roll call -
Mr. GIFFORD said: If he understood the bill it authorizes the Bishops to appoint two trustees to act in connection with him to hold property for the use of the church as trustees. With that understanding he voted "aye."
Mr. PARRISH, when his name was called, said he should vote for this bill because he believed it was right. The Protestant church South through its love of the negro inaugurated the late rebellion, while the Catholics, especially the Priesthood stood firm by our Government. The government of the Catholic church is a peculiar government, but it is not inconsistent with any laws or with the constitution of the country, and as long as they abide by the laws and the constitution let us protect them in their peculiarities.
Mr. ROBINSON, when his name was called, said he held that but for the Protestant church and the large number of Protestants who went into the field and carried the banner of this country through many a bloody struggle, we would this day page: 358[View Page 358] be a divided and separate people; therefore he voted "no."
Mr. THOMPSON, in explaining his vote, said he had no prejudice against the Catholic Church, nor against any sect or denomination. He welcomed them to our shores, and honored them as Americans and as good people. He favored popular sovereignty in everything, and was opposed to the one-man power in church or State; and it was with much hesitancy that he voted "no."
The result was announced as above recorded.
And then the Senate adjourned.
