the No. 74-To regulate the salaries CT the sta

Mr.. STOKES Thy lesve) said he was satisfied {
~ salary of the Secretary Of State ought to be }
cry creased hut he feare1 from the way in which Il
it. vo started of that the bill would not pass. Fro
tor conversation wirh the Secretary of State, he W
i'll satisfied from the continually increasing amount

cient and thst he was entitled to OF least some L
on crease and if the author Of the bill would oonse

e4= The motion was agreed to.
va Mr. PRIMBLE thought that the bill ought

ty be tested upon that point and if the bill should
has defeated it could be reconsidered He thought Il
the salary proposed to be given was little enoug
u When gentlemen would take into consideration Il
hs kct that at the time the present salaries of the
Thu GERS was xed they could live upon at least on
half what they could now, the propriety Of the pr
No posed increase would beapparent. The high rem
m that they have TO pay added to the cost Of livin
,on leaves them nothing Of their preset salaries
nr contended thst the State onght TO pay eihelel
Tho officers fair compensation for their serVlces'
ext Mr. MoNEILLY cordially oOncurred in ever
lee word the Senator from Davidson MIR Trimbl
tic had said He favored the increase, because Il
lat prerent salaries of these officers was not adequs
on for the duties and responsibilities imposed upt
them. He had learned that the present secreta'
ct of State had kept his family at Memphis the srea
asst er portion Of the time since his appointment b
Inc cause his salary was insufficient to support the

III Wages of every description, as well as every d
soription OF property, had gone up almost hui
" bred per sent. since the salaries Of these othee
n had been fixed, and as matter Of justice, he Z
Vored the proposed increase.
Mr.. ST0ViLL had introduced the bill at the r
led ouest of the Secretary Of State, and he was full
ice sati,fed that the proposed increase Was h't
err enough for the important services these Office
the had to perform BE preferred to take the sease
