| Mr.. Leigh, chairman, reported:
! Mr. SPEAKER: | am instructed by the
! Committee on Propositions and GrieY ances,
to whom was re-cOmmitted the resolution
TO investigate the charges against James
Hill, Secretary of State, to report to the
House as follows, to-wit: Your Committee
think that there is no necessity for the APP
pointment of such a committee of inyestiga-
ton. The charge ade against said Secretary
OF State was made, as rected in said reSolu-
ton, by the Jackson Times of Jan. IA, 1876,
(simply newspaper charee) and was made
evidently with an intent to cast doubt on the
constitutional amendments recently adopt
ed, and which this Legislature has promul-
gated and announced as legal amendments
TO the Constitution of the State. 1t has
charged that the Secretary of State did not
give the notice required by article thirteen
of the Constitution of the State By refer
ence to the Daily Pilot of July 3lSt, 1876
herewith submitted, it is shown that said
notice was given.
Said article 13 of the Constitution pre-
scrlbes that public notice shall be given at
least three months preceding the next gen
eral election. This was done. The Con-
stltution is silent as to the mode and manner
OF giving such notice, and your committee
think the notice given sufficient under the
same.
a bill was passed on the last day of the
special session of the Legislature of 1875, en-
titled " An Act to provide for submitting to
a vote OF the people amendments to
the Constitution, and for other pur-
poses.' This bill was not, how ever
approved by the Governor and only became |
a law oy limitation (see Art. 4. Sec. "a, OF !
the Constitution) on the 81 day of the pres
ent session. and the tact of such law becom- /
ing operative by limitati IN, was duly certi-
heu oy the Secretary of State; but this law
was not the law at the time the amend
ments were voted upon, and the instruc-
lions as to notice therein given had no effect
on the amendments adopted. The committee
submitted copy OF the law, and recon-
mended the repeal of the section requiring
notice to be published in every news
paper IN the State. The committee
recommend that the resolution to appoint
special committee OF investigation do not
pass. Received and agreed to.
WI. Eyer, chairman, reported the engross-
nent of a number of bills
