hr. ST0KELY SAID such of his constituents as
desired so be inform d with regard tb proceed
ings Of the Legislature, you'll sub eribs and pay
for the LYG lsLATIvE UEI N AsD AMKRIoAE.
Mr.. STANTON said that sin ,e he had reflected
upon the importapcs of the LEGIsLATIvs UYIoN AsD
AMERICAN, as complete r. cord of The proceed n g
and dsbates # the L .gisisure, he regretted taat
the amendment reducing the LuAher 30 ak copies
had prevailed. lie 1hoagLt the work would be of
great importance TO the People Of the State, as
showing more fully than tie JouTn Ia OF each |
House, what is said ami done 10 the Legislature |
and he thought the Senate ought to encourage the
publication to the extent of at least ten copies for
each member, to be distributed among their con-
sttuents. Members could appreciate more fully
the Importance Of such publications than the great
bedy Of their constituents. very few of whom
would perhaps think Of subscribing He hoped if
there vas any way Of getting the original number
(ten) back in tbs resolution, it would be done.
Mr.BUMPASS said ne had voted againt subscrib-
irg for four daily papers for each member. because
there was no gu hority for it. and be should vote
against subscribing for the LEGISLATIVE UNION AND
AMERIcAN upon the Same ground IE az
Mr. HlLDRBrll should voc against The resou-
tion. The Journals, containing the full proceed
ings, Published and sent into every civil dis
triet in the State TO lei the people Gn,w what the
Legislature had dore He had voted against the
proposition to subfcribs for four daily newspapers
and he should vote against this proposition. 1t
was true, the cost OF six copies small item,
bu. added to that of printing the Journal would
increase the expsnse, AM he Was opposed to the
proposition in any sente,
Mr. McNEILLY said he was no great stiekler.
He was not for stopping the EormholCs in the oask
ind leaving the bIug-hole open. The cost Of the
Legislature 10 The State per day amounted TO about
800. Members met in their Hail. aud after spend
ing hour or two here, adj urned over for the day
Why not devote more time to the business Of legis
ation, il they desired to save expense? Many o
heir constituents, who took papers, would be {
greatly pleased to receive copy Of the LEGIsLA $
I'VE UsION AND AMERICAN, from which they could l
earn what their Representatives here doing
while the cost TO the State would be BUT 9 trse. As
he Senator from Madison (Mr. Bumpass) WAS I
tiekler for authority, he would inquire if thst gen
lemsn could ind authority for supplying the Sen
Ite with FIRE, water or any other convenience
Mr.. SrOhELf thought test the Senator Who
expected TO inform his constituents by sending
hem only six copies Of the LEGISLATIVE UNION
IND AMERICAN, must regard them as men Of very +
United information. He represented eight thOus-
md constituents, and six copies would accomplish
,ut little in informing them Of what was being
lone here. Any oRe Of his constituents taking an 4
interest in the proceedings Of the Legislature,
would send for the LEGISLATIVE UNION AND AMIR
CAN and pay fer il himself. lie was willing TO 1
ubseribe for five copies his responsibility,
ad send them to his constituents. He did not pay
at as much money to get here as some others
ad expended no money for whisky and ginger d
akes-and he could afford TO send papers to his
oRslituents.
Mr.. McNEILLY said he had spent as little to get
ero IS che Senator from Cooke, (Ar. Stokefy,) aud
Q could pay for copies to send to his constituents
ut he thought 1t right for the Senate to subscribe
hst copies might be sent to those who take no pa
apsrs. F&EN So
Mr.. MICKEY suggested that they vote to sub
crbe for six copies on the part Of the Senate, end
hen each member take six additional copies. :
