THE GOVERNOR APPROVES.
THE HOUSE.

AlGer Cne minutes mad been read, Mr..
Kimball moved that the committee on live
stock, to whom had been referred the COM
munication of the governor received the
day previous, to the effect that he under
stood majority of the members desired
the return of H. f. 10, the stock bill, and
returning the same, be instructed to in
form the governor that no organized body
of the House had ever made any such re-
quest.
Mr.. Johnson said if any blame was to be
attached to anybody in the matter, it
should be given to himself and several 9TH
erS, who could speak for themselves. He
was satisfied that several of the members
did not understand just what they had
passed, and he and others had asked that
the bill be sent back
Mr.. Kimball then moved a vote of CEN
sure be passed on Mr.. johnson, and Mr..
Pierce thought such action as approaching
the governor should not be tolerated.
Mr.. Thurman defended the action of Mr.
johnson, who had a perfect right to do
what he mad done. If he had voted for the
bill under misrepresentation, he had the
right to be set right before his constituents.
Mr.. Williams supported the idea of Mr.
Kimball
Mr.. Kimball then urged that the bill
should be sent back to the governor with
the word that the majority of the House
was not against the bill. Besides, the gov
ernor had no right to listen to individual
members outside of the House.
Mr.. johnson disputed the statements
made by Mr.. Williams. He admitted that
he had not really understood the law when
he voted for it, but it was evident that the
governor had compared the two bills, and
had found the new one lacking in qualities
that it should possess.
MIR. Greer admitted that he was one of
| those who went to the governor, and he had
| asked that official to hold the bill until
further investigation could be had. He saw
no harm in anything that had been done.
Mr.. Allen thought the whole trouble laid
with the House. The committee on live
stock reported a good bill, and the Council
had butcheredit Then the House accepted
| the amendments, and got into this trouble.
He thought any man had right to go to
the governor and talk to him if he so de-
sired. He was in favor of letting the mat
ter lay over until Monday.
The Speaker was of the opinion that any
member had the right to call the attention
of the governor-the third house of this as
sembly-to any serious defect in any meas
ure that may have been passed.
Mr.. Kim oalPS motion to instruct the live
stock committee was then put and lost, only
three members voting in the affirmative.
