1868.] OF THE SENATE. 643

Which was read the first time.
Also, the following from the Librarian.
To the Committee on the Library :

GENTLEMEN : I have but little to communicate to you and
the General Assembly through you, as but one year has
elapsed since it was my pleasure to report fully to the Com-
mittee on the Library, and make such recommendations as in
my humble judgment the Library required.

AUGMENTATION.

The last General Assembly made an appropriation of but
$400 instead of $1,000, as had been previously appropriated
to augment the Library, and that to beexpended by a "joint
committee of the two Houses," which committee was never
appointed, and therefore we have virtually had no augmenta-
tion fund during the year.

I have purchased no books during the year except a few at
the request of members of the General Assembly while that
Body was still in session ; and the English Reports, to which
the State has been a regular subscriber for many years before
I came into office, also six copies of Evans' Practice, which
had been subscribed for before the last session of the General
Assembly. There are bills now due for books to Cushings &
Bailey, of Baltimore and T. and J. W. Johnson & Company,
of Philadelphia, which, if the committee direct, I will pay
immediately.

I have kept up the Library to the very best of my ability
by exchanges.

I have made no supplemental catalogue in view of the fact
that we have purchased no new books, and but one year has
elapsed since I prepared a supplemental catalogue.

STATIONERY.

There was no appropriation made at the last General As-
sembly for stationery for the General Assembly.

I advertised according to law for proposals, and awarded
the contract to the lowest bidders. We have purchased the
best articles of stationery in the country and at prices more
favorably than. at any time for many years. The bills, so far,
are herewith presented, and will be presented to the Commit-
tee on Claims for their action.

CONTINGENT FUND.

The contingent fund has been expended in the most
economical manner, and after paying the usual expenses of
the office and the extra expenses of freight and express charges
