A resolution by Mr.. Whitcomb, of this
city, to pay Q. y. lies. N. r. Jacobson. r.
l.. Hayman. w. E. Davis and r. J. Brew
iLgton, clerks of the House, $50 each for
extra work, as the work Of the House has
been heavier than ever before, caused some
amusement for the Democrats. Mr.. Shide-
Ter said he was opposed to the resolution UNI
less the ways and means committee should
be included, as it had been working later
than the clerks, and he moved to table the
resolution. On the negative vote the Demo-
Gratis shouted at the TOD OF their voices. "A
division was called for, and it was found
that the motion to table had been lost by a
vote of 81 in favor and "a against. With
the exception of Mr.. Louttit, the Democrats
voted solidly in favor of the payment. The
announcement of the result was greeted by
much applause from the minority side of the
chamber. Mr.. Williams and Mr.. Caraway
opposed the resolution, and the latter called
attention to the fact that the Democrats
were having fun with the Republicans, and
ON the adoption of the resolution the roll
was called. With the exception of Mr..
Louttit the Democrats voted solidly for the
resolution. and it was adopted by Al ayes to
40 noes. This time there was wild applause
from the Democrats.
VETERINARY BILL KILLED.
The Seymour water works purchase bill
and the bill providing for a Superior Court
In Lake, Laporte and Porter counties,
which were vetoed by the Governor, were
set as a special order for Friday afternoon
at 2 o'clock. Mr.. Louttit's bill for the APP
pointment of a state board OF veterinary
registration and examination did not live
long. 1t had scarcely been called up when
Mr.. Wise moved to kill il, and the ak was
welded with deadly effect. Mr.. Barlow's
bill concerning public offenses met a like
motion from Mr.. Whitcomb. of Marion. who
-1-.-- - - H. - .e1J11,r h0ca,,Ga tho
same bill was in the House from the Senate.
Mr.. Barlow begged the privilege of with
drawing the bill instead of having 1t Killed
in this ruthless manner and Mr.. WHIT
combs motion was withdrawn and so was
the bill. Mr.. Kirkpatrick's bill to authorize
school trustees to levy a tax Tor Tree lee
ture courses went into the legislative grave
yard, and Mr.. Galley was lord hlgn eAecu-
toner for the occasion. Mr.. Louttlt seized
the executionerS ak when Senator Ryans
bill, which was a police pension act for Fort
Wayne, came up. Mr.. Louttit stated that
no one in Fort Wayne wanted the Dill
passed, and thereupon another IuheTaI pro-
cession was started for the House cemetery.
Senator BrookS'S bill to provide FOR travel
ing libraries was nearly sent IN the same
direction. Mr.. Clements tried to strike out
the sections providing for the travelling IL
braries, but, after a prolonged discussion,
came on the scene with the ak that had
done such deadly work and he sent I'D the
usual motion to strike out the enactlng
clause. Mr.. King vigorously opposed TINS
motion, and moved to table it, which was
done by a vote of As ayes to "a noes, as fol-
lows:

which was Immediately followed by a mo-
ton to table his own motion. This was
done, and the bill was passed to third read
ing. Mr.. Neal nearly caused heart failure
on the part of the Republicans by a motion
to take up his two-cent mileage bill just at
the hour when it was planned to take up
the township bill. A motion was made to
ton was lost, and by the time the vote was
taken on the motion to call it up, the he
publicans had recovered sufficiently TO vote
it down by So against to 81 for.
Mr.. Eichhorn, just before adjournment
sent UP his motion to print the toWnSnlp
bill as amended, and the House agreed 10
do so. Mr.. Caraway moved that the por-
ton of the legislative report for 1861 which
relates to the May claim be printed, but
this motion was voted down.
