While the mOotCd amendments to the

ton, right interesting debate took place
on the subject Of the proper amount TO be
paid the publishers Of newspapers who
printed the constitutional amendments.
This troublesome question seems regular
Ban0uo's ghost. Senator Davis IA.
vored the proposition originating
in the House, to which the Senate had
disagreed, 10 increase the appropriation
and likewise the sum paid each paper.
He moved TO recedG from the
former disagreement OF tic Senate. Judge
Brown opposed this motion. He said
he knew tho newspapers interested in this
matter were watching for some one to
abuse for his opposition to their demands,
but they could Just abuse him all they
wanted TO- They had abused Judge Stu
art, Of Doddridge county, and without any
just cause, for whole year. Now they
could abuse him for another year. He
could stand it. He was not Il supplicant
for favor at their hands, and he did not
coyet newspaper popularity-God forbid.
He believed this measure to be unjust and
he proposed to oppose it us long US it was
under consideration.

On the adoption Of this IS finality, the
vote stood the same, and the resolution
was therefore adopted. The discussions

and pronounced the plan soi apportion-

unfair. He also discussed the parliament.
ary question involved, and read from the
rules to show that the decision efthe chair,
which had been appealed from, put a wrong
construction upon them. He ventured TO
hope, in conclusion, that the bulldozing
and whip.Ctacking process would not pre-

He said that the gentleman from
Kanawha Mr.. Ferguson instead Of closing
with discussion Of the parliamentary
question presented, undertook TO crack the

sciences; that gentleman referred to and
others had frequently stated that there was
nothing in this appOrttonment question
