Mr.. Wheaton's motion was divided, aud
the motion TO strike out 100000 was lost.
Mr.. Cody said that, upon examination,
he found that this clause would affect about
ten counties (among which Is Sangamon),
and he moved to amend so that no Recor-
ders shall be elected until expiration Of
the terms of The present Circuit Clerks.
Mr. Anthony suggested that, If the pres
| ent incumbcnts are to be continued In
Office, il would be as well TO provide that |
| the new Constitution shall not go into eff
feet until the terms of all the present |
| officers expire. He moved TO lay the |
| amendment upon the table. Lost--aycs, |
| To- noes, 55.
The amendment was adopted.
Mr. HAYS moved to amend the 9Th sec
| ton So that the reduction OF pay of
| county officers, in counties having 100000
| inhabitants shall commence from the adop-
| ton Of the Constitution He wanted the
| reduction to affect the present incumbents |
| la Cook county, and thus be an deception
| To the rule adopted for other counties.
Mr.. Goodhue said that the subject had
| been fully discussed yesterday, and he |
moved 70 lay the amendment upon the |
| table. Lost-aycs, 20; noes, 40.
Mr.. Turner moved to amend the amend
mcnt By striking out, so that the reduction
| shall affect all the present incumbents OF
county offices. VI. r
Mr.. Merriam said the proposition Of Mr..
| Hayes is piece Of gross and monstrous
| special legislation. The enormous fees are
not confined 10 Cook county. His own
| county suffers from the same cause. Why
should II then be remedied in Cook county
| and not In the others He would not vote
for Mr.. Hayes proposition unless Mr..
| Turner's should be adopted. He showed
that if this proposition, by which the
fees Of these officers go into the Cook
county treasury, Is adopted, the whole
influence OF Cook county In the Lcgisln-
ture will be against all efforts for the rc-
duction of fees throughout the State, be-
cause such reduction will take an immense
amount Of money from the county treas
urv.
