APPROPRIATION BILL.
On motion of Brusie, the Assembly
went into Committee of the Whole for
the consideration of the appropriation
bill.
| Hatfield offered as an amendment, that
| the sum appropriated tor repairs and
| furniture TO the Capitol be increased from
| $1,000 to $4,000. The amendment was
! lost.
! [Guy in the chair
Brusle moved TO amend the appropria-
ton for lighting the Capitol and grounds
| by appropriatin $4,000 for an electric
plant and its maintenance. Carried.
Brusle moved to amend the provision
for the salary of Clerk in the State Treas
urer's office by striking out thu words
January TO july" SO as to allow the en-
! plOyment Of clerk the year round.
After some debate the motion was car
| ried.
Brusie moved to increase the appropria-
| ton for Watchmen in the State Treas
urer's Office from So, 400 to 81, 200 as one
| more Watchman is necessary.
| The amendment created lively debate
| for and against, and u division being
called for, it was carried.
When the appropriation of 1850 for the
! porter OF the State Library was reached,
Reid objected. He thought $40 per month
was not enough for any man who was
/ worth anything.
| Brusie retorted that the Democrats
! when in power had appropriated the same
! sum. He moved that it be increased 10
| s., 400
! Reid said the porters in the State Lii
! brary and Adjutant-GeneraPs Office were
more clerks than porters, and their pay
| should be S2, 400, according to the State
! Controllers estimate.
North moved as an amendment 10 Reid's
amendment, that the words "and clers''
be inserted after porter
BrusIe said he hoped gentlemen would
no longer confuse the functions of this
! committee with those of the Retrench-
menJ or any other committee. It has ia
| make provision for salaries, ETC., under
existing laws, and the Assembly cannot
/ do away with an office by refusing TO ap-
propriate money for it, as the Controller
would simply pay the salary out of an
| other.
|
When the appropriation for porter for
the AdJutant-GeneraPs Office was reached
| Hatfield offered an amendment making
| it read porter and clerk" and raising the
appropriation to s., 400.
Powers spoke in support of the amend
ment, paying high compliment to Ad-
| jutant- t-GeneraI Allen for the administra-
ton OF his office, and saving that the
porter dId great deal of work as a clerk.
! The amendment was lost
Powers moved TO amend the appropri-
alton for 2rmOry rents, etc., for the Ma
tional Guard by raising it TO SIS5. 900 for
the National Guard and the Naval Brig
/ ade.
Belshaw said a member of the Naval
! Brigade had told him it only needed about
/ 900 and Powers asked for $50 O0Q
| for II. lie did not think it best to give il
more than ii asked for. He and Lynch
| spoke strongly in favor of the Naval
Brigade as the best equipped and one OF
! the most prompt organizations III the
strike troubles last summer, DiukeI-
| spiel spoke TO the same effect.
/ Powers argued for his amendment, The
Naval Brigade has been furnished bv the
/ United States with the latest patterns OF
( arms and equipments, and is perhaps the
most efficient portion of the National
Guard, he said.
Keen spoke of the scarcity of American
seameu and the necessity Of maintaining
the organization.
Bledsoe offered as substitute that the
Naval Brigade be included in the original
appropriation, without raising it.
Spencer made strong speech in favor
OF the militia being the best armed men
in the land; that they should be properlv
cared for and should feel that they had
the support Of the people. Although he
was opposed to any waste of the public
money, he felt that there was no more
important avenue for its expenditure
tnan the militia. The troubles last sum
/ iner had shown the country the useful
ness OF the National Guard and the neces-
sitv Of maintaining it, in order that the
country might be preserved from anarcby Y
/ and disorder
Reid argued in favor OF the appropria-
ton for the National Guard. and said
that the Naval Brigade should be kept
separate.
MckeIvey spoke strongly in favor O,
the National Guard and Naval Brjpade
showing their Importance to the safety OF
the country
After lively crossfre of remarks. the
substitute was lost.
Mckelvey presented a substitute rais-
ing the appropriation to S2lG, $50, sayinp
that he had investigated the subiec;
closely with the Adjutant-Gen and
! that was the least amount that the guard
could be properly cared for with. Ii was
900 less than was appropriated last
session.
The substitute Of MeKeIvev was lost
and the amendment Of Powers was car.
ried.
McKelvey moved to raise the appropri.
alton for target practice from ST, 600 tc
S. ,000. 1t was absolutely necessary, h,
said, in order that the men should bt
able 10 learn TO shoot, which, he took it
was very important part Of a soldier,
