.BNIGIXF FOR SAME.
Mr. WHA.IIO) . N moved that the Committe on
Finance be discharged from the, consideration
of a bill just feed in place by himself, entitled
"an Act to provide means for the relief of the
wants and sufferings of the people of Kansas."
Mr. HAIL. I think that the Senator should,
at least, state what the bill is that he desires to
have passed.
Mr. WELAIITPN. The statements set forth in
the bill are well ascertained. It, for
giving to the people of Senses means to prevent
them from starving, proposing to appropriate
the stun of thirty thousand dollars for that.pur
pose. It is believed that we'cannot , by private
subscription, accumulate a sufficient amount of
money to meet their wants, and this is proposed`
as the only way of attaining that object. The
New York Legislature has appropriated;-one;
hundred thousand dollars for the object named
in the bill, and I think that the Senate of Penn
sylvania will not refuse to appropriate thirty
thousand dollars. believe that a majority of
the Senators here have within a day or two each
subscribed twenty dollars or thereabouts, arid.
the sum proposed will be but a small one, com
ing from "the representatives of the people scat
tered all over the State of PennsylVania. 'I do
hope the Senate will at once prodeedio the con
sideration of-this-bill.
Mx.,11A14, It would be.a novel propcsition
for the Senate of Pennsylvania to be asked to
pay thirty thousand dollars out of the Treasury
dantoteare for what piirpose—without the
subject going before a committee appointed 'for
,the aPicial purpose "of investigating whither we
should spend thirty thousand dollars 'or not. I
am by no means prepared - to votefor such* pro
position, much as I lament the pfesenidistres-'
ed condition of the country hitheneighlxirhOod
of Itansas, and however ranch I might feel will
ing to increase , any private subscription, myself,
in order to do away with the etiffering andwant,
created out there at this time. I thereforenb
..
ect to the discharge of the committee, and hope
, they will be allowed to consider the bill. When
it is reported from the committee we may then
take:action upon it. '
Itir. WITH. The Chairman of the Commit
tee on Finance is absent, but there is a fair Ma
jority of the Committee - present ; but that
would make no difference in regard to my vote
on thiegueetion, lam in favor of discharging
the Committee,. Its is a plaiu..proposition. I
have just opened a letter received from a citi
zen of Philadelphia in which was enclosedap. ap
peal to the public, signed by Thaddeus Hyatt,
and Gen. 8. 0. Pomeroy, both of them citizens
of Kansas, appealing to Christiaiii and the
philanthropic people of this country. A short
paragraph, as a portion of my remarks, I ask
the Clerk to read.
The Clerk then read the following

(Signed) TaADDXDS' HYATT,
in behalf a a perishing multitude.
I indorse every Word of the above.
"(Signed). S. C. POMMY,
Chairman of the Kansas Relief Committee, and
General Agent for Distribution.
I hold-in my hand, kr. Speaker, a letter from
a gentleman, a member of one of the largest
firms in the city of Philadelphia, who endorses
Gen. Pomery as one of the-most respectable'men
residing in Kansas. I think. sir; after reading
-that appeal, that my friend from Blair, (Hr .-
RA* will see the propriety of withdrawing his
objections to the discharge of the Committee.—
A.t a , time like this, when an appeal like that
just read by the Clerk, is made to us, I think
we may well forego the forms of legislation and
go immediately to the,. work of mercy. Ido
really hope, sir, that . this Legislature will im
mediately take up this bill and pass it unani
mously. Here is an appeal from our own friends
.from our own brothers—from our own kins
men, men who `who are in a condition nest to star
vation, a.etuitlly in a state of starvation, appeal
ing to us for relief; and we, for the sake of the
obseriance of a few forms, ask that►
this bilLshall be delayed, when the delay of a
single week may cause the deatirof hundreds of
people in that State. Ido hope that this Le
gislature will not be appeaKto in vain in this
Air. • GREGG., Without"saying anything
about the merits or demerits'of this bill—fOr
I know nothing about it—l ; have to observe
that there is a system_ which we haie adopted
here which is certainly a very bad one ; that
is, the passing ''of bills without their . having
been considered by appropriate committees, and
before thoie
,committees have
,opportunity to
examine them. If this bill be - referred to a
committee; it may be . directly reported to-mer
row morning. Its provisions may be right, but
the syStem which we are• asked to adopt is a
bad one. 'We have gradually fallen into its
adoption this winter by allowing bills to be
passed, before' any action, has been taken upon
them in committees. •
Mr. SMITH. If there should be any excep
tion taken" to :the course usually adopted with
word to ,tbe reference 0f.134, 'this 'bill should
he:that exeenti,
, made .to
our hurl : lenity. Ido hope that the Senate will
answer it like men, ,
rttirk that have as much
feeling as:any Senator on this floor. I have read
of these diStresdnicalanalties in regard. to 'Elm
sae, and of the — 4l.cultiesr out 'there, with "a
graat'dealsfeorrow; I . am sere Ido notknow
that it issight 'for the Legislature of Pennsyl
vania to appropriate money out of the treas
ury of the State for the purpose of reliev-
I ing the suffering poor anywhere, or other
wise. I am not by any means satisfied
that if this, proceeling 'to commence,
had not better begin [nearer. hoine than
games. I say this understanding fully *hat I
say and feelingthe deepest sorrow lor the peo
, ple out there. I did' riot understand that , the
aid sought, which was referred to, in the letter
quoted by the Senator from Philadelphia, and
in the memorial read by the clerk, as an appeal
to this Legislature. I understand'jt to be an
appeal to plailanthropists, to men who are able
to grye, tothe charity of thapeople.
Mr. SMITH. 'lt is addressed to Congress and
the State Legislatures—
Mr. HALL. I did; not 130 understand it. I am
very well aware, hewever, that 'the State Le
gislature of New York,voted one hundred thous
and dollars es an appropriation for the relief of
tire but ._ they, did
notvote t appropriation until after the sUb
ject had been invesligated by, a committee, and
not before the committee to which' the • niatter
was referred had set-forth-their-reasons, at
length, in the NOW• Y9*-aperja. It was not
all done in a day ; it was of thought
hal consideration. for that. State 'Legislature, and
I object to - the 'Committee being discharged
from the consideration of this bill,or any action
taken tiron it without its merits and demerits
heingproperly scanned. A rule'of the Senate
requires that bill of 'this kind should be re
ferred to a:committee before the Senate pro
. ceed to its consideration. - -

HARRISBtRG, PA.. TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 12, 1861.
Mr. WAARTON. lam sorry that my friend
from Blair objects to the proposition made by
myself. The reference of bills to CoMmittees
is a mere technical matter, which Men seine
tithes insist - upon, in order to defeat, legislation.
The Members of the Finance Conatnittee are all
here,-and can all be heard on this floor, now as
well as any other time.
Mr. HALL. The - chairman of that Com
mittee is not here. - .
Mr. WHARTON. The subject can be dia - -
poked Of thiS afternoon. As to the giving of
$30;000 by the people of Pennsylvania for the'
object-set forth:in the bill, I have enough 'of'
confidence in thii people to enable me to - know
that When numbers of their countrymen are in
distreas` ,from want, they will give sheerfully
for the support of such. There is no borrnf:•-
tiOn about this matter. I believe that instead
of thirty our people would be Willing to give
one hundred thou Sand dollars. This proposi
tion, is nothing but what every man can take to
his heart. -The idea of people iremir own coun
try starving and unable to procure food, is awful
to-contemplate. Every Senator can be .heard.,
on this subject, and if the - dispositiOn of the
Senate is to vote;down the bill and to refuse _to
give aid to the people of Kansas, let us knoW
that fact '
• and then the ; friends Of that people
Will go to work and raise the amount needed
by private subscription.
Mk. PENT EY: Iprefer that all bills shoiddi
take the ordinary course of legislation, espe•-•
dally onetaking a large sum.of money out of
the Trees - ref.' ;The ;dither ifiy we' passed the'.
bill relative to guaranteeing Federal bonds
without a single objection having been made to
the course adopted by the Senate in'its passage.
The reference of the bill now alluded to will not
probably delay its consideration more than a
single day.

Mr. 1 . 1121 TH. The Senator now refers o to re
venue bills. That rule does not cover, this
bill.
Mr. WELSH. As a _member of the Finance
Cornmittee I enter my protest against taking.
this bill up atthis time. Some two 'or three .
days ago we discharged the' Committee on Fi
nance from the consideration of 'a bill which f
had it been properly examined, would never
have, passed this body. • -
Mr. HIESTAND. What bill was that P.
Mr. wEELLS I refer to the to, pay the
Clerk in the , contested election case in Lustorne
count , . That bill ought never to, hate roalOd
this Senate ; but as it was, it was hurried
through. I trust that these bills appropriating
money will be allowed to take their regular
course, or that the Committee on ?inane will
be fcrrever discharged from the consideration of
bills. L
Mr. SMITH. This is not a question of ac
counts. It is an appeal .made ;to the - State
legislature asking for an appropriation of $8(1,-
000. It is a plain, practical, home .uestidn
=on of figures o f -
one appealing to our clirlitTaiitfaiirEnmanity
—Whether we willi go through,.
which to bills of this deiciiption, or
whether we ehall delay and refuse to
,give it
thatinunediate attention which the necessities
of the case demand. , • • - ' •
Mr. LAWRENCE. I observe by the tenacity
with which the Senator. from Philadelphia ,
(Mr, Sums) holds to the Motion which he' sec
onded, that he intends to call.the yeas and nays
on the motion to discharge the Committee. As
I do not wish to be placed in a false position
on this question, IWillmake a remark.. I shall •
vote so that the Conimittee on Firuume may
'consider this bill, not out of, any feeling in the
matter, not because I object, to the raising of,
thuds for such a purliose,,becauselha , ie already
contributed myself, to a certainamount, but be
cause I : believe that the people of pennsylvania
have not 'sent me here to vote money dut of the
Treasury - a manner unusual. I have no
doubt that we have all seen such statemante as
convince us that these finds are needed by the
people of Kansas, and believe thatthe necessary
money will• be -raised for their relief. - I see
sympathetic people all over the land ,vieing
with:each other to •assist these poor people in
Kai:Sas; but with my present views of consisten
cy I shall vote against discharging, the Com
mittee on Finance, from its consideration. - It,
shoeld have lieen.origim!tecl here as in the,State
of New York, and: provision, should have , been
made for.raising the money. ;We continue
appropriate money here day after day :without
making any provision for raising the money
thus appropriated. For one, I. shall hereafter
enter my protest against any such practices as
we have now fallen into.
_
Mr. WELSH:. I desire to ask. the SPEAKER a
question ; whether it will not take a vote of two
'thirds: at this time to Suspend rule_which
requires every bill to he reported. y a Commit
tee before being acted upon by the Senate. I
The- SPEAKER..: The Speakerifir of opinion I
that a motion of the kind now.before ithe Sen
ate, made in the shape_of. the-present-one, will
require a majority vote only; but a _motion_ to
proceed to the 'consideratien of the bill, were
the comMittee dischargedrwonld require a two
third vote, it b_eing out of the - usual order. .
Mr. BOUND. I thinkthis its a question de
serving the attention of every, Senator on this
floor. I feel as deep an interest in the suffering,
destitution and want now prevailing in the State
of Kansas as any member of the Senate; but I
do . protest here and ;now %; this hasty,
precipitate action on the . part•or.the Senate - kr
considering a bill appropriating. Money, -espe
cially one calling for the appropriation of this
amount, for any purpose-Whatever. I think that
the constituents-of 'every Senator on 'this floor
have an interest in this question, an interest
which requires at least calm, carefulconsiderate
action upon their part,-before-they take money
out of the pockets' of the .tax-payers of ;thief
Commonwealth for any such doubtful -Purpose
as that contemplated' by this bill. Now, if 'we
can, - after a fair and impartial consideration of
this:entire subject and examinatientinti) it,- and
a.' report from'a proper 'Committee, and - if in
iccordance with-our constitutional -obligations
we can make this -appropriation, I for one will
not be-niggardly or backketrd in extending the
hand of charity to the sufferers in -Kerusus.
Butl think, Str: Speakekthat a j ciecent respect
for ourselves, and for the rights of our constitu
en4,4lernand at least some reason why we should;
place cur hands in, the treasury of thiS State
and appropriate money for any purpose. Ifthe
yeas and nays are , insisted -upon on this goes;
tion, I shall be, compelled to - Vote against the
motion to discharge the Cominittee.
Mr. WHARTON. I have full confidence in
the Committee to which this subject is to be
referred ; °rail therefere withdraw my, motion.

though I have no Cbjeetion to its being refeired
to the fir iance.Conunitee.
Mr. WHARTOIc. We have been voting out
money since the'opening' ofthiesession, without
proper investigation into the-propriety of such
action. The Senate, has jpst refused'. to take
immediate action upon, a bill looking to the ex
penditure Of money, and a less cause exists for
the immediate adelltion,of this. resolution than
for the passage of the bill upon which 'action
has just 'been taken, I".hope the Senate will
now vote consistently with its previous action.
