Some difficulty has arisen during the
past week over the confirmation of
Governor Uphan's appointments. On
Friday last the appointment of DIR. j..
/. Scott, of Beaver Dam. to the Office Of
State Veterinary Surgeon was sent to
the Senate for confirmation. Some Of
the members of that body, however,
had different ideas from those held by
the Governor on the subject; After a
sharp discussion the Senate refused to
confirm the appointment on the ground
that DR.. Scott had but recently come
from Canada, and hence is not a citizen
of this state. The Democrats in the
Senate to a man voted for confirmation.
The Senate has since adopted a resolu-
ton referring all appointments to a
standing committee, from whom a
favorable report must come or the ap-
pontment will not be confirmed. When
seen with reference to the matter Gov.
Ipham said in effect that he had care
fully considered his appointments in
the past and would continue to do so in
the future before he makes them; but
that when they are once made he has
no others to make. He thinks that he
is competent TO Judge of the merits OF
the appointecs with much greater ac-
curacy than the Senate. He said that
he appreciated the Kindness of the
Democratic Senators in voting to sus-
tain him, ard hoped that the Republic
cans of that body would see the justice
of lis appointments and would then
ratily them at once. The standing com
mittee to whom all appointments are
now referred, reported favorably on
DR.. SCOTS appointment this morning,
ard the Senate confirmed the nominal
ton without question.
/ On Friday. in the Assembly, lively
/ discussion occurred on tie question oil
sending bill to a third reading. The
I question arose over a bill reducing the
exemption granted Il married man il
actions in garnishment from $50 to $50 j
month. Mr.. Burdick supported the re.
! duction in an earnest and very eloquent
/ address Mr.. Hall, however, thought
/ the reduction too great to ke made At
/ this time. He favored making tie
amount 80 and offered an amendment
! to that effect. Several of the members
spoke against the amendment, and on &
vote it was lost, and the original bill
+ ordered To a third reading. BY ma
jority Of the house it is thought that al
I exemption of $50 i sufficient protec
I ton for an honest man, ana by far toe
much for dishonest one. The bill
VII probably pass at $50.
