preservation of the laws Of the State.
Mr. Brown of Richford, opposed
the motion on the ground of economy.
We should not create new Offices;
and he believed we were not careful
enough as to the expenses ofthe State.
Mr.. Slade again favored the mo-
tion to reconsider, and stated some Of
the benefits that are to result from the
passage of the bill. We shall secure
the preservation of the laws Of the
State beyond the contingency of in
terlineation or alteration.
Mr.. Hinckley of Chelsea, said the
more the bill was discussed the more
he was convinced that it ought not
to be passed. We were putting the
power in the hands of the Governor
to appoint the officers OF this House,
and he was opposed to the innovation.
Mr.. Bisbee of Newport, said there
is evidently a misunderstanding about
the provisions of this bill. 1t merely
gave to the Governor the power to
appoint an engrossing clerk to engross
the bills both Of the House and Sen
ate. He was opposed to the bill at
first, but upon examination OF its mer-
its, he had come to see that it really
was good bill, and one that should
be passed. 1t would save expense to
the state in facilitating the business
of the Legislature. 1t is enough for
him TO know that the clerks. secreta.
ries, and all the clerical force about
the State House are in favor of the
bill. 1t has been tried in New Hamp-
shire, and worked admirably; and he
could see no valid reason why il
should not work we'll here.
On the motion to reconsider, Mr..
Hurd of Sandgate, demanded the yeas
and nays.
Mr.. Phelps of Grafton, desired to
be informed as to the duties of the
Secretary of the Senate, and what
would be his duties il this bill passed.
Mr.. Slade said they would proba-
bly, be the same as the First Assistant
Clerk of this House.
The yeas and nays were then ta-
ken-ayes 81, nays los. So the
House refused to reconsider the vote
refusing the passage of the bill.
Bill introduced and referred BY
Mr.. Slade of Middlebury, relating to
the quinquennial valuation of the
town of Ripton for the year 1870;
to committee on grand list.
On motion OF Mr.. Drake of Royal
ton, adjourned.
