Mr.. POu withdrew his motion, and offer
ed a resolution, providing that the commits
sioners OF any one county shall have all the
power heretofore exercised by the county
authorities, to levy taxes for the support Of
the poor and for other county purposes.
After some debate, on motion of Mr.. Har-
.ris of Wake, the consideration of the subject
was made the special order on tomorrow,
III o'clock.
Received message from the Senate in
forming the House of the approval OF the
Board of Directors, recently made by the
Governor, for the Deaf and Dumb Asylum.
MIR. Gambler gave notice that at the end OF
30 days, he would introduce bill confirming
a decree of the Court of Equity of the coun-
ty OF Buncombe in favor of the heirs at law
OF W. G. Gambler, deceased.
The hour of the special order for the
election of Public Printer, having been occu-
pied by the joint session of the two Houses,
on motion of Mr.. Sinclair, message was
senate proposing to elect a printer to-mor-
row at 10 o'clock, NJ.
BY Mr.. Seymour, resolution providing
that all those duly elected to seats, and
banned by the Howard Amendment, be al
lowed the same per diem and mileage as
members of the General Assembly.
Mr.. Seymour moved that the rules be sus-
pended, that the resolution may be immedi-
ately acted on. Carried.
MIR. Stilley moved to amend by striking
out the words "per diem and"
Mr.. Sinclair opposed the motion to strike
ont. He thought iG but simple matter of
justice that those persons holding certifi-
Gates of election signed by General Candy,
should receive the usual per diem and
mileage They came here as it was their
duty to do, mourning thereby considerable
expense, and he should favor their being
paid
Mr. Blair thought that those persons elect
ed, and banned by the Howard amendment,
were not entitled to per diem and mileage.
They knew they were banned before they
came mere, and consequently they ought not
to expect to receive money out of the State
treasury for the purpose mentioned in the
resolution. He hoped the words to strike
out would prevail
Mr.. Seymour opposed the motion to strike
| out, and favored the resolution. 1t was not
| to be expected that the claimants for seats
referred to should know that they would not
! be received. They did not know but what
the case with some now occupying seats in
the General Assembly. He thought that
banned members elect had discharged their
duty in coming to the Legislature with a
view OF filling their stations, if allowed to
do so. 1t seemed to him that there could be
no objection to allowing them to draw on
the Treasurer, at the risk of that officer,
pending the consideration of their claims to
seats by the Committee. M
Dir. Pou said majority report from the
Committee would be submitted tomorrow
declaring the seats of the parties under
consideration, vacant He, however, ap-
proved the resolution allowing them per
diem and mileage. Some were now in their
seats, whose disabilities had been removed
since they left their homes for this City 1t
would be hardship not tn allow pay for
the time they were in attendance here.
Mr.. Blair said those gentlemen had never
| applied for the removal of their disabilities.
They were here in defiance of law and Or
der and he hoped: the resolution would not
be adopted.
Mr.. Harris of Wake, twitted some of the
supporters of the resolution, telling them
they were willing to vote $1,000 or 81, 900
for the benefit of persons elected banned by
the Howard Amendment, while they refused
to vote tax of one cent for the suffering
poor. He was not, however, unwilling to
the payment of the per diem and mileage,
but would prefer to see the. subject referred
to the committee on Privileges and Elections.
Mr.. Stilley moved that the further consid-
Grafton of the subject lie postponed until to-
morrow. Agreed to.
On motion of Mr.. Parker, the House adj
journed.
