RESOLUTIONS INTRODUCED.
BY Mr.. Gorrel, resolution to rescnd 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 interest in having
it printed. That it had already been in the hands
of the printer two weeks and it had been antci-
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 80, nays 80.
Mr.. IIokc offered resolution appropria,ing the
room in the Capitol occupied by the Reporter Of the
! Supreme Court to the use of the engrOssins 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.. Wkerson 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 &c
! lue Tile Copy udu OeeH III Tie printer S nanQS
the message from the Senate concurring in the res
olution to print received by the House only or
Monday last
Mr.. Wright said he hoped the resolution would
not be adopted, as it was desirable to have the mes
sage in durable form-that excepting portion of il
in relation to federal affairs, which difference
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 as legal contract, ane
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 usua
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
