Tnn nTiIsnEe auestIon.

On the 9th day of Augunt last the two
Houses of the Legislature took q recess ,or,
more properly, adjourned over uRtil the I'd
day of September. On the 1st day of that
month (Aug.) they both agreed to the fol-
lowing resolution:
"That members and officers Of the Legis
lature shall receive no pay for the time
during such recess.'
With this understanding nobody object
ed to the Legislature taking recess, mas
much as it was not to be taken at the pub
lie expense. i15s1soF -, go - .
Some days ago, not long after the reas-
sembling of the Legislature, an unsuccess-
fol move was made in the House to repeal
the resolution agreed to on the LIST Of Au-
in different shape. Instead of moving to
repeal the resolution agreed TO on the LIST
of August, motion was made and agreed
to that the members should receive mile
age for going to and returning from their
homes. This movement on the part Of the
House, was in effect, although not in terms,
a repeal of the resolution OF the LIST of Au-
gust.
We had not observed until yesterday
that the repeal movement had been sue
csssful in both Houses. 1t seems, how
ever, that it was. We have only to express
our decided and unqualified reprobation Of
the whole thing. 1t is totally upjustihable
in our opinion, and we do not see how any
member who takes that mileage can ever
face his constituents again.
What right has any member to draw
money ont OF the State in such way Th'
members of the two houses adjourned fol
their own and not the public good OF graf
ifcation, aud shall the State be compelled
to pay members for the promotion of thei
private convenience or plsasure7 Not a
all. The people will scout and utterly re
pudiate the idea of such thing. g .
No member can afford to put a cent Q
that repeal money in his pocket, 1t make
no difference whether he ever expects Z
be candidate again or not. AS a man HI
can not afford it, II is nothing more mo-
less than ill gotten gains in the hands o
auy man who receives it.

oic.ls may be bniy given.
On receiving tho general order issued By the
Adatant General Of this State on Tie 1871 Of Jane,

officers Of the Goth appointed meeting 10 be held al

Nec,s-siily, the appointment was unsa'lsfactory.
They met. and found Themselves unanimously de

change; he repudiaed his own propost ons, refused
TO attend any conference and declared his resola

thority conferred on him by tho Governor.
And DOW comes the startling development to
which these difficulties led. In conversation with
some Of the officers, Mr.. McCrca gave an explana

in their address, as below. Ii is the statement OF
Capt. Seahlenou, and introducing it the officers
say: "This statement WAS reduced TO writing
