The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1879-03-19

ready passed the House. and will be considered
early by the Senate. There is some objection
to it, however.
Propositions asking for money were yester-
day referred to the finance committee of the
Senate, without any debate, as it is understood
that any money left from the appropriations
made during the regular session goes back into
| the treasury, and, therefore. new appropria-
tons will be required.
The gentlemen of the Senate-employes of
Mr.. Chief Doorkeeper Huncheon-did not pro-
pose that the House should have all the "pre-
sentation" fun of the session, and concluded
to have a little enterprise of their own. So
yesterday afternoon, having coraled Mr.. Hun
sheon, they concluded to "charrn" him. The
Incarnation ceremonies were brief and to the
point.
Mr.. James Walker, bearing the "charm,'
and Mr.. Jesse Hough accompanying him, they
advanced boldly on Mr.. luncheon, when Jesse
Haugh addressed him as follows:
| Mr.. HUNCHEoN-On behalf of the EMPLOYEES
of the Senate, who hold appointments under
| you, desire TO present to you this charm-as
We hope You viii accent IT, not On ma account of Of
| the intrinsic value attached to 1t, but because
it Is our earnest desire that you carry with you
when this General Assembly adjourns some
! token that will remind you that the corps of
employees of the Senate of Indiana for the
| year 1879 hold You in high esteem for your
gentlemanly demeanor toward us during the
| session of the Legislature.
Mr.. luncheon, being indisposed, as he has
been for several days, and not feeling able to
reply, called upon his "truest of true" friends,
Mr.. AID. Armstrong, of Kokomo, who, in
ply, said:
GENTLENEN-Ou Ebehalf of Mr.. luncheon I
| thank you for this token of esteem, and know
| that he will hold dear the remembrance OF one
and all of you.
The charm is a very handsome souvenir
in the shape of golden locket, the back of
black onyx and the front decorated with
beautiful cameo design. The name of
Mr.. Huncheon's employees appear en-
craven upon the golden portion,
and follows: James Walker,
William Langstaf Sam II. Bahr, Louis Steup,
Jesse Hough, NJ. r. Tremaine, ]. w. Troup.
Senator Kent yesterday surprised his sena-
terial brethren by rising to his feet and de-
string to change his vote call of the Sem
ate. He wanted ito vote aye" on the bill. He
was in the chair yesterday. and showed that
he had the material for good presiding officer
in him.
The conference committee on "the State
House appropriation" makes the tax levy two
cents, and allows 100000 for 1879, and the
same amount for 1880. If this creates def
cheney so that existing loans can not be met
then the governor, auditor and treasurer are
empowered to borrow money to pay such
loans. The conference committees report was
eoncurred in by yeas %, nays IL.
The resolutions offered by Representative
Saint appears in our regular Legislative report.
They rather reflect on the governor for find
ing fault with the Legislature that the work OF
the session was not more fully accomplished,
and intimate that whoever else was to blame
it was not the members of the House. The
vote, which we give, was upon the proposition
to lay the resolutions upon the table:

The private opinions of nearly all the Dem
T ocratic and many of the Republican members
is that the governor did not do the House jus
, tice in his criticism. The House has done az
/ much solid work any of its pre-
decessors. The Senate was never
at any time fully under the control of the
Democratic ring. A small clique of Republi-
cans could, and did, retard business there
| throughout the session. And here is just
! where the responsibility of an extra session
belongs, and we do not propose that the
, readers of the Sentinel shall forget it.
i Messrs. Chiffon and Cooper, the enrolling
| clerks of the House, resigned their positions
: yesterday.
Senator Mcdonald and Judge Gooding were
ON the floor of the House yesterday.
Mrs. DIR. Scholl, wife of Representative
, Scholl; also Mrs. Fleming and Miss Sheets, Of
this city, were interested spectators of the
, House proceedings yesterday.

' days OF the close OF the regular session are
D valid, that the special session beginning i'm

such bills must be passed through the Legis
