STATIONERY - COUNTY OFFICERS.
The Speaker recurred to the unfinished business of yesterday, viz: Mr. Wilson of Ripley's bill [H. R. 274] prohibiting the various courts and Boards of County Commissioners from making any allowance for stationery to county officers, and providing that such officers shall furnish their own stationery the question being on concurring in the report of the Committee on the Judiciary, that it be laid on the table.
By unanimous consent, the debate thereon was continued by Messrs. Wilson of Ripley, Shirley, Woollen, Buskirk and Miller.
