The Senatorial election bill coming up in
the House, the bill was read through by the
clerk with the Governors objections thereto.
Mr. Blythe regretted to find himself OBJ
liged to vote against the passage of the bill.
He regretted this because of the inconven-
fence it might bring upon the Republican
party, but still he must do his duty. He
was convinced that the Governor view was
right, and according to his sense of right he
must sustain him. He called the attention
of the House to the title of the bill. 1t was
to fix the time and manner of this election;
and to prescribe penalties. There We're two
subjects embraced in the bill, whereas, as
the Governor says, the Constitution pre-
scribes that a bill shall embrace but one
subject and matter pertaining thereto. lie
also concurred in the objection of the Gov
ernor, taken with reference to the penalty
If his attention had been called to the mat
ter earlier, the result might have been diff
ferent, but now he must sustain the Veto
&c.
