reason for a continu; nee of high salaries; but believing such
arguments would not be urged, he could see no good reason:
lot gentlemen's opposition.
Mr. Allen, of Laporte, addressed the House against the
passage oil the bill. If the part relating to the salaries of the
judiciary was stricken out, he would vote for the bill but
would not vote for it as it row stood.
MI: bowling moved to refer the bill 10 a select committee.
WIN instructions tostrike out that part which relates to the
salaries of the Supreme and Circuit Judges, and that no per-
quisites shall be allowed to the Auditor, Secretary and Trea-
surer.
Mr.. German said, if gentlemen wished to destroy this bill,
they would vote for the gentleman's motion and commit the
bill TO a committee. lie replied 10 the remarks of the gen.
ueman IRON Porter and Lake, in reference to the constitu-
tonaiIty oil the bill, and said, that the bill was misunderstood
by the gentleman. The salaries were to be reduced after he
election of the several officers, and the urgency of the matter
now was, that several officers were to be elected, and il was
therefore necessary, in order to reach them, that the bill
should pass.
Mr. Mcdonald again urged the unconstitutionality of the bill,
and contended that, alhoogh the bill right apply TO officers
hereafter to be elected, still, he considered there was no
rSht' under the constitution, to give different rates oil COM
ponsation TO the same grade of officers.
Mr. Bowles moved to amend the motion Of Mr. Bowling, so
as to reduce the salaries of State and county officers general
ly; with the exception of Judges.
Mr. Bowling said, he wished a direct vote in relation to the
judges compensation. lie would vote for the reduction OF
member of this House; and would vote for such a reduction
on all occasions that might present themselves.
Mr. Bowles agreed with the gentleman from Fayetie, that
competent men from the bench. He was the advocate of re-
%trenchmSnt and reform; but was opposed TO a retrenchment
that would place the lives ard property Of the country at the
disposal of Incompetent judges.
The Howe then took a recess until 2 O'Clock.
