THE LEGISLATURE.
The Council.

moved to reconsider the vote by Whlc
e the motion of Mr. Sharp was lost, pla
: ing in the general appropriation bill tn
: item of SAC, 1000 for the payment of juror
: and witnesses. On the motion bein
t carried, Mr.. Sharp renewed his motto
with the proviso that the amounts pal
| to jurors and witnesses be drawn only O
{ Auditors warrants in Territorial crimins
cases, and that jurors and witnesses b
. allowed $3.50 per day and Is cents mile
age one way for the distance travelled
: said item to take the place of item
making the amount $4,000 for witnes
ices only. Mr.. Sharp insisted that
was the duty of the Assembly to provide
for the payment of jurors.
Mr.. Hammond said they could not at
ford to fail to make provision for the pay
ment of jurors
The motion carried, Mr.. Barton voting
no.
Mr.. Sharp introduced resolution to
place an item of $4,000 in the general ap-
preparation bill for the use of the Cover
nor to pay messenger, the expenses Of
his office, etc., to be drawn in 1867,
81, 1000 for each year.
Mr.. Hammond wanted to know if this
expense was not already provided for.
Mr.. Sharp answered that the salary of
the Governor, paid by the Government,
was $4,000, but there was no provision
for any expenses. We investigated this
subject two years ago, and thought it wa
proper to provide for such expenses.
MIR. Grover said he voted two. years
ago for the appropriation; that the salary
OF the Governor was too small, and it
was too much to expect him to meet the
expenses out of his salary.
The motion passed unanimously.
MIR. Sharp moved that the general ap-
preparation bill pass as amended.
After a recess of nearly an hour, Mr..
Francis submitted a report on the insur-
ance bill vetoed the day before by the
Governor, with amendments to comply
with the objections named.
The bill was amended agreeably to the
report of the committee, and then passed
as amended.
p. ma message was received from
the House giving notice of concurrence
in striking out the witness fee item, and
making it "jury and Witness" and in
creasing the amount to $4,000; of it's
concurrence in the $4,000 item to the
Governor, and insisting on the action of
the House on the Cazier item.
On motion of Mr.. Sharp the striking
out of the $4,000 to the Governor was
concurred in, and 81, $50 was inserted in
stead, with the statement by Mr. Sharp /
that that was what messenger service |
and office expenses cost the Executive !
the past two years.
The Council agreed on another confer
ence committee on the Cazier item, Mr..
Sharp being appointed. Mr.. Grover
looked upon the House asking for con-
ference as simply disposition to force
the Council to a surrender to them.
MIR. Francis reported that the redeemed
Auditors warrants had been burned in
stove. This brought on the question of
cancellation of the stubs, as if they were
of any Importance except as matter of
record.
The general appropriation bill, as
was again passed.
II. F. No. GA, providing for the removal
If insane convicts to the Territorial Asy-
um, passed.
Messages were received from the House
living notice of additions to the general
appropriation bill.
MIR. Barton opposed the two items Civ ]
ng N. W. Clayton, Auditor, $4,000, and !
ames Jack, Treasurer, $500, but the mo-
ion to concur prevailed.
Mr.. Sharp moved to reconsider the ac- '
ion on the Cazier item in the appropria- 1
on bill, and the motion carried.
MIR. Grover moved to strike out this I
EN-. He considered the claim q lust
ne, but made the motion to strike out for r
he purpose of harmonizing the two il
ranches of the Assembly. S
Hammond. Page and Heyborne enter il
lined the same views. Ii
The item was stricken out "for the sake C.
harmony" and the general appropria-
on bill was again passed as amended by
e House.
The House amendments to substitute
f. No. 81, relating to insurance COM f.
mics, were concurred in and the bill y
Issed y
