COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.

| Mr.. Prince i'm the chair.
Mr.. PATTxN of Penobscot said that the bill
gave the Secretary of the Senate an amount
OF pay for doing all the work.
Mr.. LANE, the Secretary, said that if he
had understood the pay of the Office was to be
cut down, he would have resigned. He
showed what an amount of work was required
in making up the Journal, urging that it was
worth all that was given him to do 80. If the
appropriation was refused he could decline
to perform the work, and as a result there
would be no journal printed
After further discussion, on motion Of Mr..
