CALENDAR.
Bill authorizing the Superintendent of
| Pupblic Works to furnish an Office for the
Superintendent Of Public Instruction.
After some debate the bill was referred.
Mr.. Seymour called up the Joint resolu-
ton in regard to the per diem and mileage
of members supposed to be banned by the
l4th Article, and offered a substitute al
lowing the same per diem and mileage as
members, provided that said pay shall
cease on the 18th inst.
Mr.. Durham moved to amend by provi-
ding that their pay should 60 up to the
10Th, leaving the question of future pay
open, as some of those gentlemen had not
even had hearing before the Con mittee.
Stilley moveda pOstpOnment of the res
olution until the House shall determine
the time for which they shall receive their
pay.
Mr.. Seymour objected to any postpone
ment. and be was surprised that any man
should object to those gentlemen receiving
pay. 1t was a common usage and he did
not see how they could justly depart from
it. There are members here who do not
know certainly, whether they Will be cXcLu-
ded from their Seats or not, or who did not
think when ttSy came, or now, that the
| Howard Anne nGmcnt was part of the Fed
eral Constitution. Those gentlemen were
here in good faith to take their seats, under
the provisions of the new State COustitu-
tiOn, and common fairness and due respect
for the dignity Of the House required that
those gentlemen should receive their pay.
Downing Thought there could be no
question as to the jgstness and right that
the gentlemen sbonld receive their pay,
but thought there should be some im!ta-
ton.

the whole matter on the table.

debate, called the previous Question upon

. The call was sust ined.
