Mr. IRISH moved to discharge the Finance
Committee from the farther consideration of
House bill No. 481, entitled "a Joint Resolu
tion relatiie to the final adjournment of the
Legislature."
Mr. IRISH. A rule of the House provides
that no bill shall be objected off the private
calendar within ten days of the time fixed for
final adjournment. If the Senate concurs in
the action of the House with regard to this
subject, the rule will have to be enforced as
early as Tuesday next.
The motion was agreed to, and the Senate
resolved itself into Committee of the Whole,
(Mr. Frassat in the Chair,) on said resolution.
The first and only section was read.
Mr. PENNEY. I doubt whether the Senate
is now ready to act upon this resolution, as we
have not yet acted upon either the appropria
tion or apportionment bills. lam inclined to
vote for it. if I can possibly see the beginning
of the end of the business of the present ses
sion.
Mr. BLOOD. If we'concur in the action of
the House on this subject, the effect may be to
bring back Senators who are now absent in
Washington.
Mr. SMITH. If the business of the Senate
is in such position as to admit of the passage of
the resolution, I shall vote for it; but lam
convinced that the contrary is the case. I be
lieve it to be utterly impossible for the Legis
lature to finish the business coming before it,
within two weeks. The Committee appointed
relative to the matter of an apportionment of
the State into Congressional districts, have not
yet reported; and the consideration of their re
port, when made, will occupy considerable time,
as differences of opinion among Senators and
members necessarily exist' in regard to that
measure. The appropriation bill will occupy
some three or four days in its consideration. I
am as anxious for a final adjurnment of the Le
gislature at an early day as is any Senator, but
I wish to see the business pf the session proper
ly attended to. Last year, we passed a similar
resolution, in too great haste, and adjourned
finally a month before we should have done.
I move-that the Committee rise, report progress
and ask leave to sit again.
Mr. HIESTAND. " ripply to' the Senator
from Philadelphia, I would state that though
the. Legislature may have l adjourned a month
too early in his opinion, yet in the opinion of
the people we did 'not adjourn any too soon,
and we cannot adjourn any too early this year.
I think we should adopt this resolution and go
to work in earnest ; by so doing we can easily
finish up the remaining business of the session
by the time named.
Mr. SMITH. I have never been influenced
by this popular clap-trap of early adjournments.
The people send members of the Legislature
here to attend to the business of the State pro
perty, and they expect that business to be pro
perly finished when we adjourn.
Mr. ILIISH. It seems to me that the Senate
"drags its slow length along," apparently fos
getting the fact that there are two very import
ant bills yet to be acted upon during this ses
sion.
Mr. LAWRENCE. In justification of the
committee appointed to apportion the State in
to congressional districts, I would state that
there has been no unnecessary delay on the'
part. I have been as anxious as any member
of the Senate to get the business of this ses
sion wound up, by the 18th of this month. I
believe the apportionment bill cyan be acted up
on by the Senate in two days, and that the ap
propriation bill will, perhaps, he disposed of with
in the same length of time. If no obstacles,
at present unforeseen, are thrown in the way,
we may be ready to adjourn on the 18th. I
can fully appreciate the anxiety of every mem
ber of the Senate who desires to get home - as
soon as possible.
Mr. BLOOD. It is well known that two of
the most important bills of this session were
considered and passed finally by either branch
of the Legislature, within a few days of jheir
introduction. The Appropriation and Appor
tionment bills need not require more than a
few days for their consideration ; and iam of
the opinion that by proper industry, we may be
ready to adjourn at the time named. -
The motion that the Committee rise was
agreed to; when
The bill was reported to the Senate.
On granting the Committee leave to sit
again,
The yeas and nays were required by • Mr.
LAWRENCE and Mr. IRISH, and were as fol

ties of Daniel Zeigler, late Treasurer of Mifflin

The first section was read.
Mr. PENNEY desired an explanation of the
bill.
Mr. CRAWFORD. The official bond of Dan!..
id Zeigler, late Treasurer of Mifflin- couggr i y
dated January sth, 1852, and insettlemeMeftli
the Auditor General, on the 3d of April, 1854,
there was a balance due the Commonwealth,
and for this balance judgment was not entered
until the• 21st of February, 1856, near two
'years after the settlement with the Auditor
General, and the entry of the lien on the coun
ty docket was the first notice the sureties had
of the indebtedness of the Treasurer. The
published account of the Treasurer shows noth
ing due the Commonwealth in 1854. Now, as
the Auditor General is required by law' to send
to the parties indebted a copy of the balance
due, and if not paid to proceed to recover the
same within six months, by due course of law,
and as the Treasurer bad sufficient property at
the time of the settlement and for a considera
ble time afterwards, out of which the whole
sum could have been made, if prosecuted ac
cording to law, it is clearly a case of official
neglect on the part of the Auditor General, by
which the sureties are absolved, because if due
notice had been given the sureties could have
collected the money from the Treasurer.
Mr. PENNEY. 'By the terms of the bill, the
sureties appear to be released altogether.
CRAWORD. They were released from
two-thirds by an Act of 1858.

from them the other third
