On motion of Mr.. Cutter the House went
into Committee of the Whole-Mr. Brown in
the Chair-on the bill providing Salary for
tho OfirnrS of the LEGISLATURE
On this bill, on motion Of Mr.. Rosenblatt,
Section was amended so as to provide for
two instead of one Messenger.
Mr.. Bond moved that the section be
amended by providing for the election Of one
Chaplain.
Mr.. Tozer opposed the motion. He
thought that it would answer for this House
TO look after its own spiritual affairs, not
withstanding the action of the Territorial
Assembly in the election Of Chaplains.
Mr.. Bond favored the adoption Of his mo-
ton. He was astonished to see the position
occupied by members on the floor of the
House; they were willing to pay an extra
and unnecessary Messenger, and yet they
were indisposed to provide for the perform
ance of that which would in j manner lend
some responsibility.
Mr.. Cutter opposed the adoption OF the
motion. 1t was 4 very queer character OF
economy thai induced members OF this AS
sembly to provide an Office with salary for
one man Of God, when half dozen were
willing to come gratis.
Mr.. Rosenblatt was in favor Of providing
for six chaplains. If one chaplain would be
Of any avail in this ungodly House, half
dozen would he thought save the entire body,
and that would be u miracle indeed.
Mr.. Greedy would vote against the motion.
He could sec no propriety in paying for what
this State could get gratis.
Mr.. Bien favored the adoption Of the mo-
ton. In his opinion it was singular me-
thod of giving evidence Of economy by refus-
ing to pay for the services of chaplain,
when these same economical gentleman vot-
ed for the appointment Of two messengers.
He desired to have the House opened by
some minister OF the Gospel.
Mr.. Bishop said he should oppose this mo-
ton as he had, since the commencement Of
the session. He, too, was economical and
could not see the propriety Of paying chap.
lain, when he knew that many were pleased
to officiate from the simple pleasure OF per-
ceiving their names at the head Of the legis-
lativc column.
Mr.. Lee was in favor Of the motion. "By
their works We shall know them" He wish
ed this House to be judged of by its works,
and consequently argued therefor earnestly.
The motion was lost-ayes, IL; noes 70.
On motion OF Mr.. Rosenblatt, the second
section was so amended as to provide for the
election of two messengers, which was car
ried, but Mr.. Bond having lost his chaplain,
moved reconsideration OF the vote provid-
ing for the appointment of two messengers,
which was agreed to. ....
After some few unimportant amendments,
the Committee rose and reported the bill
back, and recommended its passage.
