H. FSCS opposed the proposition OF elec.ing a
Chaplain If nnv change il 20 be made let i. be the
abolition of the act which allows pay To the clergy
men officiating here Congress bad abolished the
Chtplancy and invited the clergymen OF Washington
TO fic;ate This was wise. He Or. f. had some
experience in that mater, and thnt experience had
taugh. tha; no harm would result from what the re-
port proposes.
Mr., HOWELL regretted that the old quarrel be-
tween Albany and Troy should stand in the way Of the
daily prayers before the House. Ii the clergy were
ANXIOUS 20 pray for the House. they would doubtless
DO il gratutously. He moved 20 TO amend the report.
Mr.. HUTCHINSON derre ,a'ed any jaDgle on tn.
subject. In doing So the Legislature deDesned itself.
He desired 10 invite some clergyman TO officate. tie
believed il BE- the duty OF all men to recognize the
experimenting Providence OF God. He would be sorry,
hereafter TO have il said that he belonged to House
which refused thi. recognition. But he was decidedly
opposed 10 appointing a stated Chaplain. IL had
worked aisGracefully IN Washington, and he would
not invite similar competition here. Let the mater

these prayer services. 1t is optional with the House
20 compensate the clergymen or not Let the matter,
them be left where it H. or he would prefer. simply
extend the invitation TO the clergymen OF Albany.
Mr.. LAW had not been asked TO do what he pro-
posed. No clergyman had approached any member
on this subject lie would be ashamed TO present the
name OF any clergyman who should ask him to do so.
The people never object to the annual appropriation
TO cfergymen who 0ficiate in the Legislature. No
me mber will ever be rebuked for voting for such an
appropriation. If clergymen oiciate here they will
be paid although the pay is not what induces them to
come here. Bat the fac. that they are paid makes 1t
embarrassing for many Of them. They would, he was
sure prefer 10 have Chaplain chosen. But if any
gentleman would state that he opposed to the
idea unless he could have clergyman OF his own de-
non nation, he would withdraw his proposition
Mr.. VI. MILLER was in favor of the report just a.
it stood. Whatever future Legislatures may do, he
trusted this House would not at this late day 60 into
the election Of chaplain.
Mr.. COLLINS would favor the report if amended,
so that the clergyman should receive no pay.
Mr.. ADAMS-The report would include about one
hundred cleIgymen. This would give each g. Rather
than take this pttance, they would doubtless prefer
TO oficate gratntously. Bat he would prefer Chap
lain. II he couldn't get that, hc would coniine the
invitation to Albany, aud the compensation to those
who oiiciate. Now, as be understood the compensa-
ton is divided ameng all whether they oicate not
Mr. DELANEY advocated the proposition against
paving clergymen.
Mr.. BALDWIN was in favor OF the report of the
Mr.. COPPERNOII was in favor Of compens ,ting
the cleIgymen who officattd
The decomposition amendment was lost, only
Mr.. ESTY moved TO add TO Mr. Laws amendment
that Mr.. Pitman could not ofheate, then that the
Rev Dr. Pohlmsn should oiiicate in his stead.
Mr.. ENGS, as the friend Of DIR. Pohman, asked
that the proposition embracing his name might be
withdrawn. Its presentation would De offensive 10
Mr.. DELANKY-If Chaplain is to be selected,
let it be done by Committee.
Mr.. ESTY Withdrew his amendment.
Mr. PARSONS moved to amend the amendment 40
as limit the invitation 10 the clergy of Albany aud
Greenbush. Lost, 30 TO 80.
The question recurred the proposition declaring
Rev. Mr.. Piman Chaplain, and It was lost, ~ to 10
Mr. CHURCH moved TO strike out from the report
East and West Troy and Greenbush.' Ihls would
contne the invitation 10 Albany.
Mr.. ENGS-The Judgment Of majority of the
Committee was decidedly in favor OF this proposed
amendment, but they reported as they hsd because
some members desired them TO do so.
Mr.. COPPERNOLL hoped that whatever was
done the practice of having the session opened by
prayer might not be dispensed with. He was in favor
Of the pending amendment as being more neafIy rghl
than any yet proposed. ,o
Mr.. PARSONS moved the previous question lor-
