MIR hubbard OF Stockbridge opposed the
passage OF the bill.
Mr. Bull4rI Ot New Haven had sympathies
for our public servants, but he mad sympath-
les Tor other 9TH GERS, well the Judges,
aud reviewed the increase of salaries that hsd
been made 10 iormer wears. But we should
pursue some course get along without
raising their salaries permanently Let the
judge, use their lnhuence Tor d return 10 specie
payment, and then tnelr expenses would be
reIuced 50 that their salaries would be sufh-
Gent. lie eli not believe the whole time OF
the judges Vas eceak kied, the courts Only occu-
taOuSht the judges should use their influence
To reduce the expenses oi our courts, SO that
We could get cheaper litigation.
MIR. Andrews OF Berlin thought the sala-
ries the Judges now received sufficient for
them. We are doing injustice to our state in
voting away the money of the State with 50
reckless a hand. lie was opposed to the bill.
MIR. Rounds OF Chester called attention TO
the difference between $1,000 In gold, five
years a-,O, and the same sum now when gold
was at premium of ) Sl50; 500 five years
ago was no more than $3.50 now. lie refer

ing In value and brought more than Quadru pie

) l500 d year aud now these same Judges
| must take from their salaries sufficient TO pay
| to these farmers The iour-fuld prices they
were obliged 10 pay for articles necessary To
maintain themselves and families. The differ
ence between the personal expenses of the
Judges and the farmers was not properly con-
sldered, and should all be ashamed to
| oblige our Judges TO dress our farmers do.
The judges work more hours than the farm
ers CT any other class of men, and their labor
was more eXhauetlpg on their ply lscal and
! intellectual strength than that of any other
class OF men. lie hoped the bill would pass, il
not unanimously, by decided majority.
