Sir:-Obserying that the members and

Respectfully,
THE HERALD COMPANY.

A message was received from the
Governor, vetoing H f. 40, the bill pre-
scribing the qualifications of electors,
containing the oath contained in the
Edmunds law, etc. The message pre-
posterously states that the law would
be one by which the old system of
marking" votes would be renewed.
Mr.. King SAID this had been fair
and equitable election bill, in conform
ity with the suggestions of the Cover
nor himself; he therefore moved that
it be referred to the committee Oh We
toes for consideration. Carried.
MR. HOWELL returned the bill requir-
ing reports from county clerks as I'M
finished business; also the reports of
Emery. Kane and Utah Counties as
satisfactory.
Mr.. CANNON returned the two petit
tons OF Prof. White, asking an appro-
priation for a deaf mute mute institute,
with the statement that the committee
had succeeded in having $1,000 for the
education of deaf mutes inserted in the
appropriation bill. He also reported
back the bill requiring the commission
ers to locate university lands to make
certain reports as unfinished business.
A report from F. A Mitchell, Chas. w.
Stayner and 1. NJ. Waddell, the present
commissioners, accompanied the bill,
and was ordered spread OH the minutes.
Shortly before this a messenger had
appeared and beckoned Mr.. Met, u him
outside. The gentleman went down
with Secretary Thomas to the Cover
nor'S Office, and now returned with
bill, which, by unanimous consent, he
was allowed TO introduce.
The bill read as follows:
A bill to provide for the payment OF
certain claims and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Governor and
Legislative Assembly of the Territory
of Utah: That the Secretary of the
Territory is hereby authorized TO re-
ceiye from any person having in his pos
session any funds of the Territory. and
apply the same to the payment of the
following CLAIMS: (then follows the
list of the officers in both as
assemblies, an exact copy of the list in
McLaughlin'S previous bill, excepting
the two last items to the chaplains for
clerical pay, which are omitted, to The
liabilities incurred by individuals in
completing the Insane Asylum, and
for the maintenance and care of the IN
mates not to exceed $40, 000.}
The bill was read the first and second
times. Mr.. Thurman said that he saw
one material objection, which was that
the Secretary was allowed 10 receive
and diSburse so large sum without
bonds. Mr.. Mclaughlin said this was
only the rough raft of the bill as the
Governor proposed 1t: there S a
chance to pay the officers of the Legis-
lature and to provide for the asylum, if
the members saw fit to take advantage
of the opportunity. !
The bill was referred to the committee /
On judiciary with Instructions TO make
