Mr. Newcomb (having voted with the majority
for that purpore) moved to reconsider the woe
first taken. He was not aware that the PROPOSE
ton would be offered to-day but ii being here
he thought we ought 20 come to a square vote
upon it. The constitution prohibited an increase
OF the salary of the governor during the term of
his office; and bis next term would commence
next Monday. Three thousand dollars a wear
was entirely inadequate. Ii had been found
necessary, heretofore, to help the Governor with
perquisites H. tied case in 1855 when he
was member o. he House, which inserted
provision in the ccne-al appropriation bill, giving
perquistes TO Governor Wright. in connection
with swamp lands, amounting 10 about 50 900
1t was not asked OF the gentlemen now to vote 10
favor of the bill lie hoped. therefore opposi
ton would not be offered at the very threshold
This vote would simply open the DILL for consid-
GRAFTON on It's merits, when il might be modified
or amended Ii il we're made 4 party question
it was manifest the DILL could not pass before the
time when il would be useless for the purpose
