Ordered, That order introduced into this
House Jan. llth, and on the same day passed. di-
rectng the cleik TO make up the pay OF Joseph ID.
Randall at $40 and mage one way, be and the
same is hereby annuled.
Mr.. STONE did not intend to reflect upon the
House in the action it had taken, but he deemed the
order wrong in principle. Joseph ID. Randall WAS
one of the pages Of the last House. At the exp-
ration of the session he was DO longer an officer
or a subordinate of that House. lie comes here
this year a candidate for the same position under
| this House, but fails of appointment. Ii the
House pays hi S63, it will be simply for his can
| delaney, which seemed to him dangerous prece-
| dent.
Mr.. BERRY Of SMYRNA opposed the passage OF
the order. Randall was page of the last House,
| and in accordance with custom and presidents was
| entitled to a disappointment to the same position
in the present House. and had it not been for the
| way in which the matter came up, would probably
| have been re appointed. Notwithstanding the OBJ
lection that mad been raised, he thought it just to
| pay Randall.
| The order was laid on the table, on motion OF
| Mr.. BERRY, but subsequently taken up Oh
| motion OF Mr.. CHASE of Standish.
Mr. BERRY of Smyrna moved the indefinite
| pospoDement Of the order.
Mr. NADEAU understood it was customary for
the old messengers and tie old pages to attend The
| organization OF the new House of Representa-
| tives. He understood it was customary 10 pay the
| old messengers. If 1t was necessary to have iht
| old pages here, he did not why they should moi
| be paid well messengers.
| MIR. STONE further advocated his order. lie
| was opposed to paying persons for holding them
| selves out candidates. If, in the politics of thu
1 IL
because he is candidate for office, is entitled L
emoluments for it, then it had better be known st
| as TO have all candidates stand upon the sam,
basis. He wished the years and nays on the pass
| age Of the order
| Mr.. BERRY spoke further in opposition to the or
| der. Young Randall had served at the organiza
| ton of the present House, and according to Gus
tom and his idea of right should have his pay.
| Pending the motion to indefinitely postpone the
| order was laid on the table, on motion of Mr.
| CHASE of Bridgton-
Mr. PILsBURY laid on the table to be printed
| an amendment to the resolve in favor of Theodore
| c. Woodman, receiver of the Bucksport Saving.
| Bank.
The time having arrived fixed for the election
| of a Senator in Congress for the unexpired term
| caused by the resignation of Hon. Lot NJ. Morrill,

| for the election of Senator for the uneypred
| term, each member rising in his seat as his name
