BosToN, Jan. 22.-Tho first indication of
conflict between Gov. Butler and the lcgisla
turc appeared in the house of representatives
this afternoon, when the question of printing
10000 extra copies of the governors inaugural
address was brought up. The resolution was
introduced by n Boston democrat and was
unanimously reported back favorably by two
separate COmmittees-tinance and printing
the former composed of six republicans and
three democrats, and the latter Of eight
democrats and three republicans. Mr.. Hill,
of Haverhill (rep.), moyed to make the mum.
Der 1000, which has been the number of extra
copies printed for the last four years. The
democratic speakers opposed this amend
mcnt Their argument was that the
address was wanted by the people
to keep; that it had not been
sufficiently published as matter of intolpna-
tion that it was n remarkable indictment;
that every accused person has the right Of
reading the Indictment against him, and
that the republican party should not shirll
| the privilege. The republicans We're divided.
Some limited thut n job had been put up, by
which, if the legislature passed tho resolu-
! ton, Gov. Butler would veto it us causing too
much expense, and would get the credit for
slandcr on the state, and If the legislature
printed extra copies 1t would indorse Gov.
| Buffers charge. Other republicans favored
| 10000 because if the governors charges
were true people out to know them, and il
| they were not tue no better document
could be issued in the interest of the republic
| can party. On the question of making the
number 10000 there wero % yeas and 80
nays. Voting in the affirmative were 80
