A quorum being found present, q message
was received from the Clerk Of the Senate,
encio,ing the Governors Message, when an
inquiry was made as 10 whether that was
the proper way Of receiving the message
Mr.. Hood moved thas a Committee OF
three be appointed, il connection with q
similar COMMITTEES Of the Senate, TO wait on
the Governor and inform him that both
houses are now organized, and ready TO re-
ceiye any communication he may make
The Speaker said the first thing 10 be
done, was 10 infoi N the Sena. Of the organ
izstion Of The House.
Mr.. Thomas, Of Benton, said that the Sen
ate had organized the day before, and forg Z
ten 70 notify the House; and now he proposed
that the House dispense with 70 mslitirs, al
the Senate had d0ae 50. The proceedings
Of the Senate had been strange but he did
not know whether il was from forgetfulness,
or contempt. The Senate was not now in
sc sion, and would not be, TIL tso O'Clock.
Mr.. Hood thought that there had been
d scourtesy used by the Senate.
Mr. Richards thought there had been no
intentional diseourtssy. It was mers over
looking Of iniormality.
Mr.. Mullins believed there was no in
tended discourtssy. He opposed squibbiDg
at the Governor, through the senats. He
believed that the oversight was at another
door, than that Of the Executive. He hoped
there would be no reerimination We could
not now communicate with the Senate, as i
was not in session.
Mr.. Wines taid il was not certain that the
House nov had quorum, Is the roll had
not been called He therefore moved call
Of the House, which was ordered, which
shOEed 81 members present,
Mr.. Hermans remarked that he was su-
thor,zed TO say that the Governor was not
aware that the House was not organized till
the Ne sage was half read.
Mr.. Hood remarked that the discourtesy
was on the part Of the Senate, aud OF the
Governor. He then insis ed on his molten.
NJ. Elliott said as the House insisted on
courtesy, he was for extending it to the Sen
ate, whether they had extended it to the
House, or not.
Mr.. Steele thought that, the Senate had
not offered any diseO1rtesy; it was a mere
overlooking Of formalities; and the HOUSE,
could do the same; il the committee were
spp inted TO wait on the Governor, the mes
ssge could be read before noon, and the
House be ready for buslness by two o'clock.
The motion was adopted, AID Messrs Ho9d,
Hermanus, and Richards were appointed.
After an absence Of few minutes, the
committee returned, and the Secretary Of
State presented the Speaker with q copy of
She Governors Message, which was read by
the clerk.
After the reading Of the message, Mr..
Wines moved, that Il, 600 copies be printed
in Englisb, and 5000 in German, for the
use of members Of the House.
Mr.. steele remat ked that unless a limit
be put to the time n which there copies
were TO be finished, they would not be forth
coming for months; ana he therefore asked
10 amend the motion, by requiring them to
be printed within ten days.
Mr.. Wines accepted the amendment, and
the motion was then adopted.
On motion Of Mr.. Steele, the House then
adjourned till tomorrow morning, a. 10
o'clock
