The Clerk OF the House, under com muH1ca-
ton OF this date hereto appended calls my at
to your honorable body the action Of this

State constitution. This error consists In re-
porting to your house that this body had

thousand dollars, when In fact the House re-
fused to agree to that portion Of the amend
ment, and insisted that the salary OF the Au,,
ditor should be maintained at five thousand
ton, While we agreed to the balance OF the
amendment. (See Journal Of the House, regu--
lar session of 1878, page z47). 1t follows that
the Secretary Of State in publishing as an
amendment to be proposed to the people O
change Of the salary of the Auditor, to which
this House has not agreed, and now ask
leave to call your attention, and that Of the
chairman Of your Enrolling COMMITTEES to
these facts so that the proper correction may
be made.
/ remain, my dear sir, very respectfully,

the PRONUNCIATION by the Secretary OF State
Of "amendments to the constitution of the

with the Journals of the House OF Repre-
sentatives find that the amendment num-
bered eight, concerning the salaries Of the
Auditor OF Public Accounts, Treasurer and
Secretary OF State, is not promulgated az 1T
passed the House. Upon examination tlnd
that the error which, caused TINS erroneous
PRONUNCIATION occurred in this office, and was
transmitted in my mes sage to the Senate L

matter that such steps may be taken as you
may deem proper to rectify the mistake.
