The House, in Committee of the Whole, Mr.. HAN
FORD IN the Chair reported progress Ca the Gov

The same Committee, Mr.. VAN vALKENBURGH
IN the Chair, passed the bin 10 change the names OF

Also, took up the bill TO provide for the payment of
certain expenses OF Government lAppWpiates -, 100
To pay postage on newspapers ana documents.
Mi. LYNCH moved to amend 50 az TO include letter
pOstsge
Mr.. HUTCHINSON doubted whether this amend
meht could be legally made. As documents are pre-
sumed 20 be Tor the benefit OF the people, there is
them. But letters are equally presumed TO be private
the postage upon which should be paid by members.
He should opI Ose the amendment.
Mr. LYNCH received three dollars a day for his
services and he was taxed about half that sum for
postage. He would limit the letter stag 10 letters

sons for opposing the amendment.
Mr.. LANING also opposed the ameidmen' l. was

Mr.. EMANS was opposed to taxing the people 20
nav for hs private correspondence.
Mr. HUBBARD thought postage should be paid on
letters sent by members but in view of the existing
statute, he could not vote for the amendment The
provision, however, should be made. If il was not,
the time would soon come when poor man could not
afford TO hold seat in tue Legislature.
Mr.. DAYTON alluoed to the expense which mem.
bers are put to i'll holding seat in the House, aud
favored the idea suggested by the amendment. Men,
ters of Congress have frank, why should not the
postage of members Of Assembly be paid This ques-
ton OF postage was but paltry affair II larger mat
ers attended TO, the State could well afford to
pay the letter postage OF members.
Mr. HUTCHINSON further opp 5sed the amend

Mr.. HANFORD ;houshtitwas more important that
letter postage should be paid than the stage the

Mr.. BARNES thought the Constitution so fixed the
compensaton of members that it would be improper
to pay their letter postage.
Mr.. LYNCH was aware of the provision of the
Constitution. II alluded 10 the per dem allowance
oGly of members. All other State officers had their
postage paid. Why should not Membersc If Assembly
If letter postage violated the Constitution, so did
document postage.
MIR. ENt;S thought the document portage va. un-
constitutional and he was disposed 10 vote against
