RESOLUTIONS.
Mr.. Bissell called up the resolution for the
appointment Of a clerk for the enrolling and
engrossing committees.
1t was debated by Messrs. Benson, James
Smith, Jr., W. NJ. Campbell and McCracken,
and finally passed.
Mr.. Tharalson called up the resolution for
printing the Governors message in the different
languages and moved its Adoption. The ques-
tion recurring on the amendment offered last
Friday by Mr.. Bertrand to print 500 copies in
Bohemian, it was lost.
Mr.. James Smith, Jr., said he thought there
Was no need of printing the message, as it had
been publlshedi in every newspaper in the State
and had been read by every person who cared
to read it. He was sorry to notice that the
executive had departed from the example set
by Presidents Taylor and Lincoln, and for the
purpose of extending his message to inordnate
length, had embraced matter not properly
within the scope of a Governors message. All
that it contained would be cleaned from the
reports of the other State officers. He thought
the practice of printing the Governors mes
sage at the expense of the State, at least until
it was confined within proper bounds, ought to
be abandoned, and were it not that his action
might be construed discourtesy to the
present executive he would vote against the
resolution.
Mr.. W. NJ. Campbell suggested that if a pre-
cedent was to be established. the present would
be good time.
Mr.. Riley protested against the passage of
the resolution as a useless waste of money.
Everybody who wanted to read it had already
done SO. 1t had been printed in full in the
daily papers and as supplements to the weekly
papers. It was about time the house carried
out some of its economical professions, and he
hoped the resolution would be defeated He
for one would vote against it first, last and all
the time, and hoped those economically in
clined would follow his example.
Messrs. Tharalson and Weyl spoke in favor
of the resolution.
motion by the latter to print 600 copies in
Bohemian was lost.

luton was amended by striking out the pro-
