Mr.. Sadler said he was agoung member,
and did not propose to- make a speech on
this subject. He came here to work, and
intended to do his duty to his constituents,
and then 90 home at the close, OF The .ses-
sion. He was opposed to- tho resolution,
and the practice (which had grown up, OF
wasting 80 much time that ought TO be
spnt in the discharge Of Legislative duties.
MroBrOwn icOneurred in the views OF the
\ gentleman from Erie. He had watched the
\ practice of the Legislature in this regard,
Y and deprecated the laxity Of members in

cen, on which the members drew pay with
out rendering any services. a, NO.
Mr.. Willett was gratified atthe opposition
to the resolution manifested by gentlemen.
1t is time to put an end TO the practice OF
wasting so much time, which has grown. up
! of late in the legislature 1t had been
brought about by the influence OF members
who were so situated as to be benefited by
it. He hoped the resolution would not pass.
Mr.. Kellogg appreciated the feelings of
members opposed to the resolution; but he
was in favor Of it to save time and trouble
from the absence of members at times not
specified without the rule proposed.
Mr.. Mcfarland did not think it necessary
to discuss the question at length. His con-
stituents were all willing to increase his
pay, without restriction, or requiring the
reform urged. The idea that the Senate

heavy taxes imposed upon our people; and,
