IL 10 TWO OF lhrec papers III inc Olg cltlcS.-
We wont hav our duins published, for it wood
detract from the dignity ov our high and lofty
posshens. If the pccpel kno what we air
duin tha ken growl about it, but if tha don't
kno tha must keep tharc mouths shut.
was goin to say that sum oncrabe mem
bers wanted to adjourn on the 9TH of Aprile.
We ken maik more money hear nor we ken at
hoam. Money makes the mare go and think
it shood maill the Legislator go, too. Why .
ilst think ov it. Four dollars a day for one
amt so much, but when we all go together
we maik nice pile. There is l3l members
in our Sabine Grand Council, more than
thirteen times as many as the Sons Of Malta
has. Then, we hav our oflisers, walters, mes
sengers, spttoon cleaners and sch like,
which maiks our whole caravan number about
$50. All these at four dollars a day maiis
our aggregate inc comc seven hundred and
twenty dollars day. So you see il we stay
hear a long time we ken maik a nice thing ov
it, and as we don't publish our procedens, nor
allow tho laws to be printed the peepcl will
think we hnv earned every dollar we got SO

week, but the peepel don't kno but what we
air worken like rats at old cheese. Our
colored bruthers is very kind to us hear, and
oh, how our deer colored sisters will fret there
sweet gizcrds when we leave. five save five
thousand dollars to the Stait by cutten down
fees the peepel will think we hav dun won
derful Job of retrenchen and rcformcn, and
that five thousand dollars will pay our wages

MIR. HILLS. The gentleman from Hayti,
is very correct in what he has said, but an
idea has struck me which l would like to give
the House the benefit of. l am in favor ofrc.
ticnchment in good earnest 1t has been co n
sidcrcd that it would take Il S two months, or
sixty days, to elect Ben. Wad c to the Senate.
Now, l am in favor of doing the job up in
| fi;ty-niue days; by which means you see we
will save S120 the amount of our wages for
one day.
MR.. SMITH Wewood lose S720, bekaus
we wood lose our wages for one day. Such
silly retrcnchcn amounts to nothon but To- SIS
to us.
MIR. WEST. We must cut down expenses
and reduce the toXes, therefore l am in favor
Of taking but fifty. nine days to elect Mr.. w ade
and we can take the other day TO amend the
dog law.
MIR. SMITH. | ist want for to show Mr..
West how he has been retrenchen. 1t took
Just thirty days discussen, &C., to repeal the
law allowen the laws to be publ shed in news
papers. 1t cost about $4,000 dollars to
publish the laws in all the papers in the Stait,
and we took thirty days to repeal it, and them
thirty days Legislation, at S72O day, jist cost
the Stait S2l 600. It's all rite, but iist
wanted 70 show Mr.. West that he aint reliable
on fggers.
= MIR. UIIL. | think there has already been
enough boys play, FOOLS play and rascal's
play in this Legislature, ond we had better
play out and go home. [The Speakers ham
mer came down hard, and Mr. Uhl was called
, to his seat.l
MR.. SMITH. Among the great measures
of reform we have introduced their is nun
, moar meritorious than the one offered by Mr.
Ready, of Tuscarawas, and l hope it will pass
Immediately, if not sooner. 1t reads as fol
lows:
A RETREN CHMENT BILL.

, Mister Speaker, that is the kind of retrcnch
:. ment what amounts to sumthen to us. Tha
s is to look to ourselves.
I. We hay our resolutions for the benefit {
st Mr.. Confiscation, the distinguished African
'l and patriotic Republican who has dun S
r. much for the Union cause. When we devoi
