THE LEGISLATURE.
The Council.

MARCH V-1U n. m.-Mr. SnurtiH
moved TO reconsider the vote by which
the motion OF Mr.. Sharp was lost, plac-
ing in the general appropriation bill the
item OF SAC, 900 for the payment OF jurors
and witnesses. On the motion being
carried, Mr.. Sharp renewed his motion
with the proviso that the amounts paid
to Jurors and witnesses be drawn only on
Auditors warrants in Territorial criminal
cases, and that Jurors and witnesses be
allowed 81 80 per day and 10 cents mile
age one way for the distance travelled !;
said item to take the place OF item g.
making the amount $4,000 for witness
fees only. Mr.. Sharp insisted that it
was the duty OF the Assembly TO provide
for the payment Of jurors.
Mr.. Hammond said they could not af-
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 APP
preparation bill for the use of the Cover
nor to pay messenger, the expenses of
his office, etc., to be drawn in 1867,
81 900 for each year.
Mr.. Hammond wanted to know ii 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 was
proper to provide for such expenses.
Mr.. Grover said he voted two years
ago for the appropriation that the salary
| nf l,n Ent
was too much to expect him to meet the
expenses out OF his salary.
The motion passed unanimously.
Mr.. Sharp moved that the general APP
preparation bill pass as amended.
After 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.

J On motion of Mr.. Sharp the striking
out of the $1,000 to the Governor wa:
1 concurred in, and 81 ,250 was inserted in
stead, with the statement by Mr.. SHARP
t that that was what messenger service
and office expenses cost the Executive
! the past two years.
1 The Council agreed on another confer
g ence committee on the Cazier item, Mr.
Sharp being appointed. Mr.. Grove
:. looked upon the House asking for u con
ference as simply q disposition to force

OF any importance except as matter c
