, Governor Bulkeley's private secretary,
who had been present in the sanate
chamber since the latter body convened,
was then introduced and addressing the
speaker presented two communications
from the governor. This brought Senator
Pierce to the floor with an objection to
their being received, and he told the clerk
not to touch them. Continuing Senator
Pierce said: While do not wish to find
fault with Mr.. Bulkeley's secretary, realiz-
ing that he is only doing his duty, still I
object to these communications being re-
ceived, coming as they do from a usurper,
and it would be entirely inconsistent in us
to have anything whatever to do with
them.

argued for the minority that the communi-
cations should be accepted, as they might
contain important matters which should
be acted on at once. His argument met
with the usual disapproval of the majority,
he being republican, and the communi-
cations were not received.

progress in every direction; nor has she by any
