RESOLUTIONS INTRODUCED.
By Mr. Gorrell, resolution to rescind the order
to print the Governors message.
Mr.. Hill suggested the printing of the message
was now probably completed
Mr.. Gorrell said the printing had been delayed
until the people of the State had read it from the
newspapers and therefore felt no interest in having
it printed That it had already been in the hands
of the printer two weeks and it had been antici
pated by the newspapers, the expense Of printing
might be avoided.
Mr.. Hill thought nothing would be saved by re-
scinding the order now, as the work is done and
ought to be paid for he therefore moved to lay the
resolution on the table, which motion prevailed
yeas So nays 30.
Mr. Hoke offered a resolution I'D OPERATING the
in the Capitol occupied by the reporter of the
Supreme Court, to the use of the engrossing clerk
Mr.. Merrimon suggested that the Reporter of the
Supreme Court would need the room next week,
and amended by substituting the room occupied by
the superintendent Of the Capitol The amendment
was accepted and the resolution was adopted
Mr.. Wilkerson offered resolution requiring the
public printer to fix up the messages already printed
and that he should print no more, and that those
printed should be equally divided among the mem
bers after reserving fifty copies for the executive
This resolution gave rise to considerable discussion
Mr. Merrimon thought that the printing of the
message had been unnecessarily delayed as had
other things ordered to be printed especially the
joint rules Of order If the House could not get the
rules of order before the end of the session, they
need not be printed at all.
Mr.. Waters moved to lay the resolution on the
table
Mr.. Person said, gentlemen were mistaken as TO
the time the copy had been in the printers hands
the message from the Senate concurring in the res
oluton to print was received by the House only on
Monday last
Mr. Wright said he hoped the resolution would
not be adopted, it desirable to have the mes
sage in durable form-that excepting portion of it
in relation to federal affairs which difference of
opinion might exist it contained much valuable in
formation, in which all were interested, and there
fore it ought to be put up in durable form and Diff
fused among the people.
Mr. Merrimon explained that it was not so much
the delay in printing the message of which he COM
planned as that in regard to the rules of order.
Mr. Yeates looked upon it as legal contract and
ought to be carried out on the part Of the House
Mr.. Fleming stated that he was authorized to say
that the public printer had not received the usual
courtesy extended to printers and hence the delay
he therefore insisted on Mr.. Waters motion to lay
the resolution on the table
Mr. Henry called for the yeas and nays and the mo-
ton did not prevail-yeas 46, nays A.
Mr.. Martin offered to amend by recurring the pub.
lie printer to give portion of the printing to some
other office, if he cannot execute the work in due
time. ..a--
