REPORTS OF LEGISLATIVE PROCEED

aDpoiutment of an official Reporter and
szirg his salary at twelve dollars per
day. The Committee to whom this Bill
WAS referred had reported it back so
amended as to tx the Reporters per
dem at ten dollars. This amendment
was rejected, wisely, as We think-it
BEING a matter of fact, as claimed By
several of the Senators who participa-
ted in the debate upon the question
that twelve dollars is as small sum as
would secure the services Of cOmpe

this debate some well snerited compli-
frents WAS bestowed upon Mr.. Gutter
the present Senate ReporterJ, while,
as We think, some general statements
we're made with regard TO the press of
ais State which are erroneous, not 10
say unjust. 1t WAS stated, amcBg other
things, that the reporters notes were

that we were obliged 10 request them
TO make their reports as brief as posi-
sible. As it is, we furnish much more

fed in doing. Tie fact is that no news
