of volunteers in service, came up in order, and
the question WAS upon allowing Sd reading.
MIR. Waite of Braintree thought the matter
OF appointing special agent OF great 'haPol-
lance to the people. The Governor WAS I'M
powered by this bill to appoint and remove at
pleasure. lie hoped it would be allowed thira
reading. -, -,
Mr.. Miner remarked that the bill! could be
defeated after a third reading if it had no nler.
it. lie hoped that third reading would DC
allowed.
Mr. Waite urged the Importance Of an APP
pointment being made soon ON occunnt OF many
claims existing. Mr.. Myers said that the
session was that it would make !; large draft
upon the Treasury. lie knew it was argued
there that agents would act without pay, but
he did not think that a si2 conclusion. lie
was opposed TO :hird reading Mr.. Baker sup
posed the bill was intended to relieve the Gov
ernor. He thought the bill under oonsdera =
ton made too liberal provision for pay Of such
agent.
Mr.. Cushman Or Rochester, stated the object
and working of the bill Of the extra Session,
and the present bill. He upprebe.ld>d that the
Treasury would suhsr, and agreed with the
gentleman from Jamaica. lie moved that the
bill be made the special order for Saturday.
Mr.. Fletcher OF tavenlsh, hoped the motion
Of the gentleman from Rochester would prevail.
MIR Smith of st Aloanf thought the House
might be making progress in tins matter, al
though he admitted the proWicty y! much that
had been sand. The bill ,as he understood it,
grew out Of recommendation ct the Lieut..
Governor. made in consequence ct the many
duties Of Gov. Fairbanks. The claims of agents
appointed without provisions having been made
fot their payment, were somany, that the Lieut..
Governor had recommended the passage Of a
bill allowing the appointment o! general agent
to settle those cialuis. As it was. ibcre was
- -
mind to systelna.lZe these claims. he thought
it true econ my TO appoint some one Fh) should
be able to lock after these very important in
tcrcsTs.
Nlr. Cu;iiman could no. see how the alp0iat.

the Governor would be as practicable as to ali
agent. lie thought little time need be dtyote;!

Mr.. Hub',eti Of Fairfax thought thar The COM
missiore1s was unnecessarily if proper regulations

be now decided
Mr.. Smith of 81. Adams thought te sum Of!
three hundred dollars provided by the hill, not
too much, for salary Of such agent.
Mr.. Miner Of lilueehmgh Thoughts th- select
men might constitute board 10 whom the !own
agents mi ht be responsible, and hoped the bill

MIR. Dana OF st. job. sbury favored the SAME
orlnlon, and hoped the hll! wonld be ordered 30
