THE LEGISLATIVE VISIT.
Mr. CAUTHORNE offered a resolution that the Members of the Legislature tender to the citizens of Lafayette and the President, Faculty and Trustees of Purdue University thanks for cordial and magnificent reception and the marked courtesy extended on the occasion of their late visit to that city for the purpose of examining and inspecting Purdue University.
Mr. KENNER--For the benefit of those who were not present, I can say that the hospitality of the people of Lafayette was grand.
Mr. Teter said he had highest degree of respect for the gentleman who offered the resolution and for every other gentlemen in the House who votes in favor of it, but yet he was opposed to the resolution, notwithstanding the fact that we were most hospitably entertained, and thoguht we were not under any "thanks" at all to the people of Lafayette for the reception tendered on yesterday. It was all very nice, but he thought there was an object in it. He doubted the approval of the constituents of most members of the Assembly in taking such excursions, and would be willing to say on the streets that the Legislature was very well entertained, but did not approve of "handing back" any "thanks" for them by resolution.
The resolution was adopted.
The bill [S. 10] to empower County Commissioners to convey cemeteries and provide for the management and control thereof, being road the second time--
Mr. THOMPSON moved to amend by inserting appropriately the words: "All such persons being residents of the County."
Mr. CARTER made a motion which was agreed to, that the bill be recommitted to the Committee on Township and County Business.
The bill [S. 39] to authorize County Commissioners to establish asylums for indigent chi_dren. was read the second time and passed to the third reading.
