machinery and adjusting new parts which it thinks might be needed some time later in the session. It has de- termined that if the record for ac- CompliShment is not broken it will not be on account of lack of sufficient help There is no member of the legislature with false notions of economy, so that when it was proposed to have more clerks there was no strenuously ob- jecting voice. Under a resolution adopted the day before. and which has been adopted by the council, all the clerks and other attaches of the lower branch were yesterday appointed-that is. all for the present, but it is pos sible that future eXigencies will call for more.
 There are seventeen committee clerks in each house, to say nothing of the other clerks, the as sistant pages, assistant sergeants-at- arms, dOorkeepers, etc. The pay of all these officials was fixed at S5, except that of the assistant chief clerk, who will receive as much as his principal who gets from the general government sG day. In the selection of the house attaches it is proved again that blood is thicker than water. for the families of the members have not been forgot ten. But that is all right, whether it looks right or not; relationship to a member ought not to be regarded as a disqualification. In defense of the members. one need only go to the Bible. which says that he that careth not for his own is worse than an infidel. It is estimated that the clerk and other hire will cost the territory S25O a day dur ing the session, exclusive of the amount allowed by the government for clerk hire. But that is a good thing; all this money will go into circulation. The message of the governor presented to the council on money disclosed the alarming fact that a great deal of money was being withdrawn from cir culation and piling up in the terri torial treasury.
 When the resolution for more help was taken up in the council yesterday MT. Bark proposed, in the following terms. to amend it by making it broader.
 q would suggest that the council has overlooked several appointments. I would suggest that three messengers be appointed to blindfold the Goddess of Liberty oil the capitol building, two messengers to convey funds from the territorial treasury to the twenty third legislature, and seventeen clerks from each house to sit in the gallery to serve as an audience"
