HOUSE OF DELEGATES, Friday, 17, 1843. The following resolutions were agreed to; By Mr. Wade, that leave be givt-n to bring in a bill granting further time to John lutnker to complete Ins bridge across Peak Creek in Pulaski county.

By Mr. Daniel of that the Committee of Propositions and Grievances enquire into tho expediency of repealing or amending an act to reduce into one acl the several acts nor in force, for regulating the lnspec. tion of Fiour, luiliau Meal and Bread, passed April 5th, 1831. Petitions and memorials were presented and referred: By Hbkkv, of sundry citizens of Clarke, praying lor the passage of a Uw authorizing the County Court to levy a lax upon dogs within said Mr. Cabell, of J.

Kincn Sheriff of Nelson county, for a law authorizing him to collect the taxes, of l839-'40, which have not been collected, and which have been accounted for: Mr. sundry citizens of Buckingham, for the passage of a law es-1 tablishing an inspection of tobacco at Curdsville, in said Mr. Payne, of citizens of the town oil Columbia, asking the change of the plan of the town tind the bounds Mr. Ccstis, of citizens of Accomack, for the repeal of the laws relative to oysters, or such modification thereof as will authorize their exportation beyond the State. The engrossed bill to revive and extend the act passed in authorizing the raising by way of lot money, for improving the Fauquier and Alexandria Turnpike, being on its passage, Messrs.

Smith of and Powell of F. supported, and Mr. Crltciifjeld opposed it. On motion ol Mr. Yeruv, it was laid upon the table.

The engrossed bill changing the Spring terms of the Circuit Superior Courts of the counties of Caroline and Lancaster, was read a third time and passed. The Spkakkk laid before the House a letter from Thoma3 Hord, testifying to Judge Scott's character and standing. Mr. Watts called up the bill converting into stock the State loan to the Portsmouth and Roanoke Railroad Company. Being on its second reading, Mr.

Watts explained and defended the bill. He contended that it would not injure the Treasury at all, but was indispensably necessary for the keeping up of this important improvement, in which the State is most largely, It would be a wretched policy to let this road now go down after 6o much money has been expended. Mr. Watts represented the great benefits already brought about by this road, and the further good it was destined to produce. If we are to have a system of Internal improvements, Ilampj ton Roads must he their Eastern boundary, and should be carefully guarded.

Pass this bill, and the company will be enabl. to get out ol their difficulties. The Company owes not a dollar out of the State, and scarcely any tiling tut of the immediate ratine of the course, then, their creditors are too much teres ted to seek the destruction of the road, merely save a few thousand dollars. To remove all difficulty on this point, Mr. Watts would offer an amendment, which be read.

This road has increased some $2,000 in its receipts, while all the other railroads in the State have fallen off their receipts. Mr. Watts then offered hip amendment. Mr Boi.lisc challenged a scrutiny into the concerns the Petersburg Rsilrcad, as developed by the report of the Board of Public Works. Mr.

Rolling offered an amendment, which places the Petersburg and Winchester roads in the same situation as the Portsmouth road. Mr. Bollino give some statistics of the condition of the Petersburg road, and moved that the bill and amendments be laid on the table, and the amendments printed. Mr. Watts hoped this bill, which was of such vital importance, would not be defeated by thus laying it on the tabic, on the mere pretence of printing a short which any member could understand.

Again, had the people of Petersburg and Winchester sent petitions here on this'subject' Mr. Boi.li.no maintained that the Stale should lake the whole two-fifths of the stock in the Petersburg road, as she had done with the Portsmouth road, before she gave tins further boon to Hip Portsmouth road The people of Petersburg had sent him here to represent their wishes, and he was sure he did represent them. Messrs. Cowan and Daniel of Richmond Ci'v, hoped the bill would be laid on the table for further information. The bill has never been printed.

Mr. Tavton was not surprised at the policy of the gentlemen of Petersburg and Richmond city to kill this Road. The House were fully prepared to vole upon this question, and he hoped that the bill would not be stilled by laying it upon the table. Messrs. LKn ti.i.

of Bulling and Cowan disclaimed any wish to defeat the bill by laying it on the table. Mr. Crutch fielp wished time lo look into the rr.at! ter, in which the State was deeply interested. Mr. Randolph.

In consideration of the great interest held by the Commonwealth in these roads, he offered a proviso requiring that before the subscription shall be made, there shall be executed to the Board of Public Works a mortgage of the whole property, real! and personal of the Company, and upon all ttie nettj income of their tolls and receipts, with the condi- I lion, that the tame shall Le sold when the company shall fail to pay an interest of three psr cent, per annum on the State's Stock. The bill wa? then laid on the table, and the amendj ments ordered to be printed. Mr. Bolling pledged himself to call up lh? bill on Monday next. A bill concerning George Walker was read a second time and rejected.

Mr. Meredith explained the justice of the It had passed the House last winter and would hare passed the Senate but for want of time. Mr. Leake of A. called up the resolution of-1 fered by Mr.

Garnett, authorizing the Treasurer to receive irginia's portion of the Distribution Fund. Mr. Garnett said, that the minds of the House were made up on this question, and Le called the previous! question. Mr. Leake of A.

hoped the previous question would not he sustained, as there was in the hands of a mem i her a substitute which he wished to offer. Mr Yerbv called the ayes and noes. The House refused to sustuin the Previous Question by the vote of ayes 33, noes SI. Mr. Leake of G.

then olfered the fallowing as a 6ub-! stit ute: llcsolrcd, That the proceeds of the sales of the public landj ought not to be distributed among the States, because Congress have no constitutions I authority to dispose of all or any of the revenues or properly of the Federal Government, for any other than for national purposes, for which only they were vested in that Government; because such distribution is substantially the same, if the money 60 distributed were raised by bor- rowing or by taxing the people; because all the reve- i nues of the Government (including the proceeds of the sales of the public lands) have, of late, fallen Bhort of its the Government is greatly in and id actually attempting to raise money by an unequal and oppressive tariff; because such distribution produces the necessity for an increase of the public' burdens, and is a violation of the trust created by the 1 deeds of cession; because no kind of reason lias ever, bt-en offered for the distribution of the proceeds of the of that part of the public domain, which has been purchased by the Federal Government; and because such distribution is injurious in its tendencies, diminishing the power and influence of the Government in its appropriate sphere, and increasing both fearfully where they ought not to be felt: lUsolred, That this Legislature will not appoint any agent to receive such portion of the proceeds of the! public lands as may be, or have been, appropriated to! this State, under the late act of Congress. Mr. Leakk of G. moved that the Resolution be laid on the table, the amendment printed, and made' the order of the day for Friday next. Mr.

Taliai f.kro read the following substitute, which he intended to offer at the proper time, and which he wished to have printed: llrsolved, That this Legislature does not admit, but, on the contrary, denies the right of the Congress of the U- S. to dispose of the Revenue of the U. whether derived from the proceeds of the sales of the public lands or otherwise, in gifts or gratuities to States, or to either of them; that it expressly condemns every such disposition of the revenue, and particularly the act of the late extraordinary session of Congress, entitled "an act to appropriate the proceeds of the of the public lands, and to grant pre-emption rights," and the conduct of the Senators of this State in voting therefor; that, if it had not been otherwise reprehensible, the fact, that so much of the public revenue was given away at a time when the U- S. were in debt, the revenue insufficient to meet the current expenses, and a necessity wus created to increase the taxes on the people, renders it justly objectionable; and that, therefore, our Senators be instructed, and our Representatives be re; quested, to use their best endeavors to have the lion of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, which, under the said act, was appropriated to thin Stat-', applied to the general charge and expenditure of the U. S.

Mr. Rowpj.jc, in order to test the sincerity of gen. tlemen, wouli4 offer the following amendment, which he moved to have printed "And, as the receipt of the several sums received by this State, under the Deposit act, passed by Congrpss in was equally unconstitutional and unjust as would be the receipt of the said sum of -K-, il not more so; Therefore, be it further Resolved, That the Finance Committee be instructed to bring b.ll for repaying to the Federal Government, di'iing the present year, the said sums received under the deposite act of ISiG" Mr. Yesby gave it as his impression, that a pledge had been given that the subject should be disposed nf before the meeting of the Whig Convention, on the 22nd and he hoped the resolution would be voted on now. Mr.

Leake, of Albemsrle, 6fated that he had promised to call up the resolution, but he did not govern his action with reference to the assemblage of a Whig Convention. In answer to an inquiry propounded by Mr Da'Mel of Mr Leake of frankly confessed that the rc-apnn for desiring lo postpone, wan to give time to certain Democratic members to hear from being undecided 33 to the wishes of their on the subject. The resolution was then laid ntj trie table, the amendments ordered to he printed end made the order of the day for Friday nest. Mr. Gai.i.aiikr called up the hill increasing the risdiction of Me offered mi amendment, which he to have printed.

Mr. G. moved to lay the it on the table. Mr. Anhp.iisom moved to postpone indefinitely the whole question Mr.

Mr. Gallahkr explained the situation of the persons who applied for this lottery.

They had involved I themselves by this public improvement, and had a right to be reimbursed. He hoped the House would decide this case upon its oxen merits.

fered the following resolution Resold (I, That the Select Committee, to whom the memorial of Martin P. Brooke preferring charges against the Hon. John Scott, one of the Judges of the General Court of Virginia, was referred, be discharged from the farther consideration of so much of their for mcr report as relates to the third charge therein sst forth. The third charge relates to the Mercer affair. Mr.

Bvkd remarked, that if the resolution was agreed to, it would enable the committee to discharge a large number of witnesses, who were in attendance at great cost to the Commonwealth. Mr. Williams, as a member of 6aid committee, entered his d.ssent to said resolution. After the solemn resolve of this House that the committee should examine this charge, as of an impeachable character, it is very strange that now, within seventeen days from the end of the session, the committee should cume in and ask the House to say that this charge is not an impeachable offence. The charge is that of habitual disturbance of the peace, which is manifestly embraced within llie meaning of the Constitution.

A Judge, who is a conservctor of the peace, in clearly impeachable for being au habitual violator of the peace, and thus neg lecling his duty. One specification of this charge is, that Judjje Scott challenged Mr. Mercer to deadly com bat, and he thought this clearly impeachable. Mr Taliahiriio was very much gratified to hear that the committee had fully investigated all the charges against the moral and judicial conduct of Scott. And he was pleased to believe that every imputation resting upon his character had been triumphantly repelled, lie did not undertake to upon the evidence taken beforp the commiltcc ond which would be reported to the House.

The committee had completed their labors in to all the of i upeachable character; and Mr. T. said he was surprised at opposition to the resolution of the committee, asking to be discharged from the further considera tion of so much of the memorial of M. P- Brooke as charges Judge Scott with having broken the peace in two "or threo instances. The memorial charges, that the Judge is a turbulent man, and general disturber of the peace.

Mr could not understand this course of argument on high crime or misdemeanor is a iing technical and well he would say, that it was the addition of one or more misdemea' nors to another, which changed the character of both and gave t.irn one character. This would be a new and alarming proposition in criminal jurisprudence is a thing of itseir, i tiioe of its Commission, and dependant upon no lung to happen afterwards. They are tried and adjudged, each upon its own And a man being tried and acquitted or condemned, cannot afterwards be questioned about it. The proposition, however, contended for, re vcrres these established oil la and maintains, that, though acquitted or condemned of a charge, another is charged of similar import, the accused is to answer for the former again, aad what is worse, lo have it brought up against him to magnify the last, and give it higher grade. This view, he thought, would be conclusive, and need not he further en.erged Mr.

T. said, if the mere breaches of th" peace charged in the memorial were committed. they were in the of the proper tribunals of the country, and had been tried; or, if not noticed, il was thereby Pofliciently manifest that they were unworthy to be further investigated, lie could not con sent thnt the Houfc ol Delegates of Virginia, should be performing the office of a petit jury in Irving a breach ot the peace, lie hoped the House would discha-ge the Committee on this subject, and let the report on the grave charges be brought forward and acted upon before the close of the session. He repeated, that he did not know the testimony la- i ken beloiP the Committee; but Judge Scott submitted it lo all candid men, whether that testimony did not; entirely wipe out every imputation on his character as a man cr an officer. Mr.

Wilm contended, that a Judge is a conser- of the to keep the in violating- it, he violates his duly, and is justly obnoxious to impeachment. The Constitution expressly pro- fides, that a Judge shall be impeached for a neglect of, there is no more direct neglect of duty, than in committing a breach of (he peace. Judge Scott (he had challenged a full investigation into every tharge: why then this resolution? is it not designed to iscape from this charge.5 Mr. TiLiAFKRRii did not wish to escape any and he believed Judge b'cott did not. Mr.

of the Committee.) This question has been one of great doubt and difficulty. The Committee, although formerly of the opinion that this third charge was of an impeachable character; had alter a laborious and thorough investigation, changed Ihpir views, and are now of opinion, that it is not nn impeachable offence. Therefore, the Committee think ihey have nothing to do with it, and ask to be dis- charged from consideration. Mr. L.

did not deny that a judge was impeachable for neglect of his duty; thai is ofhts official he was clearly of opinion, that a Judge was not impeachable for every petty breach of the peace. If the enquiry is to bo made, let it be done by a joint committee of the House and as required by the Constitution. Mr. Smith of wished to know if this resolution wes offered at the instance of Judge Scott or of the! memorialist. After the Committee have been instruct-j ed to examine this whole matter fully and fairly, it is strange that this course should have been i The Committee should have gone on lo examine the whole charges.

lie could not vote considerately without having this information. Mr. Btro of did not know whether he was ex-1 to speak of what occurred in the Committee, for I in that case he could not give the information without, violating the rule forbidding anj' allusion to proceedings of the Committee. If he was expected to speak of what he had learned in other ways, he would explain, I however disagreeable it would be lo him to address the i House nt the present time. Mr.

Irving said that Judge Fcott had in his answer protested against the House taking cognizance of this charge. Mr. Wood hoped that leave would be given to the Chairman uf ihe Select Committee (Mr. Byrd of to give the information desired by the gentleman from Harrison, of which the whole House stood in need. Mr.

TitLOR thought it a matter of no conscquence, whether or not Judge Scott had asked that this charge should not be examined by the Committee, who had nothing to do with it. He thought the gentleman from Shenandoah was mistaken, in supposing that the House had considered this charge as of an impeachable character. He hoped the Committee would be discharged. Mr. Parks thought the interrogatory of the gentleman from Harrison had no connexion with the merits of this question.

He thought the question improper and ought not to be answered. Mr.TAVKNNEit should like to hear the views of all the members of the committee, who had examined the authorities touching this important question He mored that the Chairman, or any member of the committee, havo leave lo give any information of the proceedings of the committee, which would have a bearing on this important question. Mr Lewis said, he did not ri.e to enter into the merits of the question under discussion. His objeot was, answer the inquiry propounded by the gentleman from Harrison, which the Chairman of the Select Committee felt himself, doubtless, restrained from answering, by motives of delicacy. If it would aid gentlemen in voting upon the subject, ho was authorized lo state, that the resolution reported by the Chairman, was suggested by Judge Scott himself.

motive for it was, that the charges in the memorial of M. F. Brooke, the suMects of libel suits between the parties now depending in the Circuit Court of a special term was appointed bv Judge Leigh, to be held in December last, but was prevented from taking place by the presentation of the memorial in the early part of the session of the which arrested the proceedings in Court. He was further authored lo say, that Judge Scott does not fear or shrink from the further investigation ol these charges before the all the important charges have been gone through, and that the matters contained in the third charge in the memo rial, ore not of an impeachable nature, neither effecting his character as a Judge or as a man, and are deemed of no trivial a moment, as to be unworthy the further attention of the Legislature. Should Ihe investigation be pursued, it will only consume time, without ending in any available or practical result, and the time will have passed without an opportunity to prepare for the trial these causes, at the special term assigned to bo held by Judge Leiffh, early in March.

are the which influenced Judge Scott in suggesting the resolution under consideration. Mr. Leake of A. hoped that the leave to speak of what had occurred in the committee be not grantI cd. We have already had loo much of what had occurred in the committee, and we might, by establish a bad precedent, lie did not think it of any importance to know who was the mover of this resoiu lion; Mr.

Btrh ofF. did not wish to speak of what had been done bt fore the did not wish the as he wae, however, he would, if the lanvi- be given, give all the information in his power. Mr. Tavknseii withdrew his motion. Mr.

Kumukus of H. did not think the Constitution meant to the meaning of "high crimes or misdemeanors" to pvt-ry misdemeanor, however trifling, so ai to make it impeachable. If this charge is not of an impeachable character, the special committee cannot i act on it, and ought to be discharged from this branch of tlie subject. The House have never said that this charge was of an impeachable character. The committee, after a full investigation, have reported this charge to be not of an impeachable character, and he thought they ought to be discharged from its consideration.

11 is a subject of future consideration, whether the House will proceed triili the Senate to examine this charge, so as to decide upon Judge removal from office. Mr. wished to know if the committee had commenced the investigation of thia charge. If they had commenced it, he was for their going through with it. Mr.

WiNGFiELu responded, that the committee had not coinmenccd the examination of this charge. Mr. Lkakk, of Albemarle, was not actuated by r.ny estraneous circumstances, but was guided by considerations of the permanent policy of this body, ond precedents for the future. He would vote against the resolution, as lie uas not prepared to say that fighting on the part of a judge, was not an impeachable offence. An impeachment is a most powerful en gine, and the Legislature of Virginia ought to be very cautious in guarding the dignity of the judicial station He was farfrom believing, that an habitual turbulent and quarrelsome spirit, might not be an impeachable ofl'ence.

It wan on general principles that he opposed I tie discharge of the Committee, who had not even rnenced the investigation of this serious charge. Mr. Brown of Preston, explained the motives of the Special Committee in asking to be discharged. They were ofopinion that this charge was riot of an impeach able character, and it wonld have been useless for them to take the evidence which could not be used, as it would not apply. The conimit'ce had, therefore, come before the House to get their opinion, as to whether this charge was or was not impeachable.

Mr. li. denied that an indictment could bo framed upon the general charges of and was satisfied, upon a full examination, that this charge was not impeachable. He 5huuld vote for the resolution, not because he wished to avoid the because he thought that an assault and battery was no's misdemeanor of so high a character as comes within the meaning of the Constitution. If no other gentleman did so, he would move that the House and Senate proceed by joint vote, to examine this charge, with a view to the removal of Judge S.

from oilice. Mr. Cowan. A committee of the most intelligent men of this House (Lawyers, ,) had been appointed, and after six weeks' in vestig.ition, they come in here to let us know that these charges are not to be examined. He was surprised at the strange course pursued by this able com mittee.

This is a most importuut question, which be intended to scrutinize to the very core. He did not know Judge Scott, but he (Mr. would not shrink from his duty. Mr. C.

instanced the iron ty ranny of a Judge in his county, who had imprisoned and broken up a man, merely because he had expressed his opinion as to a suit in his Court. The Legislature had at once, upon a memorial, refunded the fine. Mr. Goousos said that, although he did not approve of the course of the Judge (Judge Johnson) in his county, he would slate that this man had 6eut to Ihe Judge on the bench a most insulting letter. Mr.

Cowan replied that the Judge's tyrannical con duel was universally condemned by the whole country. Mr. Stoyall wished to know if the committee had not clready been discharged from the consideration of the charges which were not impeachable. mr. Wood called the previous question, which was sustained, and called the eyes and noes.

Mr. Brows of P. thought it strange to move the in definite postponement, merely because it cannot be tried. But as the parties and the witnesses are here, we ought to go ns far as we cars. Mr.
