MONDAY, March 10, 1873The House met at nine o'clock A. M.
Reading of the journal dispensed with.
Mr. Cauthorn submitted a proposition to amend section 14, article 2 of the constitution of the State, so as to read: Section 14. All general elections shall be held on the second Tuesday in November, and all officers shall be then elected, unless otherwise provided by law.
Mr. Gregory obtained permission to withdraw the claim of Edwin May.
Mr. Richardson, at the request of the author, obtained unanimous consent to withdraw from the tiles the railroad bill, S. No. 6.
The Speaker laid before the House the report of the Attorney General on the subject of the Calumet feeder dam. It was read by the clerk.
Mr. Kimball obtained leave to withdraw the claim of the proprietors of the Sunday Post.
The Speaker slated that all bills and propositions of the House can be returned to the clerk without order.
Mr. Cauthorn, from the Committee on Temperance, returned Mr. Lenfesty's bill No. 10, Mr. Wesner's bill No. 150, and Mr. Lenfesty's No. 162 on the subject of the sale of intoxicating liquors, recommending that they be laid on the table. Concurred in.
Mr. Branham submitted a resolution for an order, which was adopted, authorizing the Speaker to draw his warrant in favor of Cyrus T. Nixon, principal clerk, and Moses G. McLane, principal assistant clerk, for the same amount that shall be allowed by the Senate to their principal and principal assistant secretaries for that purpose, for filing the bills and propositions of the House of Representatives in the office of the State Librarian, in such order as that they may be accessible to any future session of this body.
Mr. Cauthorn, from the Committee on the Judiciary, returned the bill [S. 67] to protect society against the dangerous consequences arising from the setting at liberty of persons charged with murder on the plea of insanity, recommending that it be indefinitely postponed. Concurred in.
Mr. Heller submitted a preamble and resolution for an order authorizing the Speaker to draw his warrant in favor of Webster Dixon for half pay as reading clerk pro tem.
Mr. Butterworth. That would give him half pay for the whole session.
Mr. Johnson submitted a resolution that the janitor of the House Judiciary Committee be allowed $300 for services rendered said committee.
Mr. Johnson, from the committee on public expenditures, reported as a portion of their duty to examine accounts of public officers, under the instructions of the House, their investigations of the Jaccounts of James DeSano, setting forth his accounts of vouchers in a series of three years, showing that there have been purchased by him in this time articles of stationery for the general assembly, amounting in the aggregate of the value of the items to $31,231.53. And the committee recommended that page: 270[View Page 270] the attorney to examine said vouchers and ascertain whether the articles named in them have been delivered to the State Librarian. Report concurred in.
Mr. Smith. There is a concurrent resolution that the State Librarian be directed to turn over to the secretary, auditor and treasurer of State, the remainder of the stationery purchased of Braden & Burford.
He said according to the statement of the Librarian, some $1900 or $2,000 worth of that stationery still remains in the Library; and this $2,000 he said is not included in the report above cited.
Mr. Butterworth proposed to amend the resolution so as to direct the Librarian to return the stationery to Braden & Burford.
Mr. Cauthorn moved to lay the resolution on the table. Agreed to.
The Speaker now returned to the consideration, of Mr. Cauthorn's proposition to amend the Constitution of the State, and it was again read by the Clerk - Mr. Cauthorn stating that its object is to make the general election to come on the same day on which the Presidential election is held. He stated also that there is a provision in one of the committee propositions whereby we may elect our judges at some other time, if the Legislature should think it proper so to direct by law.
Mr. Givan. The law of Congress fixing the time for the Presidential election says not the "first Tuesday in November," but the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November."
Mr. Cauthorn. Yes. I will amend my proposition in that respect.
Mr. Walker. Is that one of the resolution submitted Saturday by the Joint Committee on Constitutional amendments?
Mr Cauthorn. No.
Mr. Walker that Committee had this proposition under consideration; and they refused to propose the change, because that is regulated by a statute of the State, and needs not a constitutional amendment to authorize it: and I remember that the gentleman from Ripley, (Mr. Wilson,) promised to introduce a bill to change the time of the general election, and fix it on the Tuesday following the first Monday of November.
Mr. Givan the law of Congress makes tuis provision for the time of the Presidential election; and, as it has been amended, it becomes necessary that this change should be made so that our Congressmen shall be elected on the Tuesday succeeding the first Monday in November.
Mr. Cauthorn now sent up his proposition to amend section 14, article 2, and it was read by the Clerk as follows: Section 14. All general elections shall be held on such days as shall be provided by law. Adopted - yeas 66, nays 1.
Mr. Clark submitted a concurrent resolution that all laws for the infliction of capital punishment ought to be abolished. Rejected - yeas 33, nays 33.
Mr. Baxter took the floor in support of the resolution analyzing the principle of the legislation it proposes, and showing its foundation in justice, in revelation and the progress of civilization. - See XlVth Brev. App. for his revised speech and the tie vote - yeas 33, nays 33 - by which the resolution was rejected.
Mr. Johnson. Mr. Speaker. Isn't that capital punishment? - the House is hung. [Laughter.]
A message from the Senate announced the concurrence of that body in the resolution of the House of Representatives for a joint specsal committee and Plans for a new State House, with amendments which were subsequently taken up and concurred in; and the speaker appointed Messrs. Branham, King and Glazebrook to serve on said committee on the part of the House of Representatives.
Mr. Hardesty Mr Speaker: I will ask the clerk to read the sentence marked in an Editorial article in this mornings Sentinel, which I send up.
The Clerk read as follows:
"Mr. Edwards can hardly afford to end his term to-day with the impression abroad that either through cowardice or something worse, he has been bullied or brought to defeat the desire of the people at the dictation of a persistently fraudulent company. The entire printing interests of the State House of Representatives for a base betrayal of the public by their action on the printing bill. That the House was sold outbound by a bargain and corrupt in its course on that question is as clear as that there were honest men in the Senate."
Mr. Hardesty. I now submit the following.
Whereas, The Indianapolis Sentinel of the 10th instant published the foregoing charges against the Speaker and members of the House of Representatives; therefore,
Resolved, That the Doorkeeper arrest and bring before the bar of this House its reputed editor, H. S. Keenan to answer to the demand if the House for the evidence upon which he will rest those charges.
Let him come to the bar ot the PTou* us what he knows about thesf1 charges.
Mr. Miller. I think the Constitution does not contemplate or confer the power to punish upon this House, except for contempt and a breach of privilege; and these cannot be committed outside, as in this case.
Mr. Hardesty. The resolution does not propose to punish this man, but to bring him to the bar to testify.
Mr. Gregory did not think we could act upon that. Though he had no favoring word for the article; he saw no power in the House to interfere with matters outside. He wished to inquire what is the position of the public printing bill before the House?
Mr. Hardesty. The bill reported by a majority of the Special Committee, and which was originally drafted by himself, was passed this House by a majority of six or seven votes more than the Constitutional majority . It went to the Senate, and the Senate bill was submitted as an amendment to it - something similar in its provisions to the bill of the gentleman from Johnson [Mr. Woollen,] And when it came back to the House a large majority refused to concur. The Senate also refused to recede, and thereupon two committees of conference were appointed, neither of which could come to any agreement on the conflicting propositions. The House bill is now in the Senate with the Senate amendments.
Mr. Johnson. Mr. Speaker: If you are going to hang this man, I want to change my vote on the resolution in relation to capital punishment.
Mr. Branham. If we pass this resolution it will be a firstrate advertisement for the Sentinel.
Mr. Miller. But is it not true that this is the only remedy the House has against an insult? Let him come before the House and tells us what he knows about the honesty of the other end of the Capitol; and what he knows about the corruption of this end.
Mr. Richardson was opposed to the resolution for several reasons; he was opposed to making an example of the editor of the Sentinel, so long as there are many others implicated in the same matter; and, if we are to do this thoroughly, it page: 271[View Page 271] would require a special session of the General Assembly. He knew that many papers in the State have slandered the General Assembly in this way, indeed there are few papers in the State that have not done do. So far as he individually was concerned he cared nothing about it.
Mr. Butterworth thought this resolution ought not to pass. I believe a good deal in the freedom of the press, and while I here denounce the charges of the Sentinel as false in every respect, there is one thing I have always held certain in this world, and that is that a quarrel with a woman or an editor is very unprofitable business. [Laughter.]
Mr. Henderson doubted the power of the House in the case and to adopt the resolution would certainly be a very foolish thing.
Mr. Blocher. I move to lay the resolution on the table.
Mr. Hardesty. Mr. Speaker: I beg leave to withdraw the resolution; and there being no objection the resolution was withdrawn.
Mr. Miller submitted two propositions to amend the Constitutionof the State, viz.: add to section 4 Art. XV.; "It shall be the duty of the first General Assembly, first convening after the taking effect of this amendment, by proper legislation to submit to the female inhabitants of the State over twenty-one years, the proposition to confer the ballot upon themselves to be decided by the result of their vote'for female sufferage' or 'against female suffrage.'" "Section 5. If the greater number of votes be for female suffrage, shall be extended to all the females of the State of 21 years and over, having the same qualifications as other electors." This (he said) is carrying out the recommendation of Gov. Baker to the General Assembly.
Mr. Butterworth moved to lay the resolution on the table; but the motion was not entertained.
Mr. Gronendyke submitted a joint resolution to amend the Constitution in Article II, section 2, by striking out the word "male" where it occurs after the word "white."
On motion of Mr. Butterworth it was laid on the table 0 affirmative 36, negative 30.
The Speaker. The Clerk informs the Chair that he has not reported to the Senate the amendments to the Constitution adopted on Saturday, because there was no vote taken on the adoption of the several propositions submitted by the gentleman from Johnson as a whole. It is proper that the House should recur to those propositions take them up and consider them as a whole I understand that there were ten of these propositions in all; and three of them were rejected. The rejected propositions, of course, are not before the House. Only those that were approved on Saturday are now to be voted on as a whole: and accordingly
Mr. Cauthorn's joint resolution for amendment of the Constitution of the State, and also the seven propositions as recited in the proceedings of Saturday were taken up and adopted - yeas 51, nays 16.
Mr. Hatch proposed to amend the Constitution of the State by an addition to this effect: Art. - , section - . Railroads heretofore constructed or that may be herealter constructed are hereby declared to be common Public Highways, and may be owned and operated for the transportation of persons and property under such regulatiouns as shall be provided by law; and the General Assembly shall provide by law the maximum rates, and shall pass laws to prevent abuses and unjust discriminations; and shall enforce the same by adequate penalties to the extent, if necessary, of forfeiture of property and franchises. He said: I do not wish to make a speech only to say, that that resolution embraces an exact copy of the provision in the new Constitution of the State of Illinois in regard to railroads. I believe it might be adopted here; and that if the people have a chance to vote on it, it will be adopted by a large majority: and I ask the friends of the Railroads here to vote for it.
Mr. Gregory. I believe this proposition has merit, but, for the reason that we have not time to consider it, I move to lay it on the table.
Mr. Hatch demanded the yeas and nays whereupon -
Mr. Gregory withdrew his motion to lay on the table.
Mr. Butterworth. We are now within an hour of the final adjournment, and it seems to me that it is not right to pass on such a grave matter as this when we do not know, and have no time to consider, whether it is right or not.
The proposition was lost for want of the prescribed majority - yeas 48, nays 8- 20 present and not voting.
Mr. Mellett submitted the following:
WHEREAS, The issue of the Indianapolis Sentinel of this date contains a wanton attack upon the integrity of the Speaker and members of this House in an article on public printing; and,
WHEREAS, The same paper in a recent issue, warmly indorsed the bill passed by the House on the same subject, which bill this House adhered to to the last; and
WHEREAS, The charges in said article are wholly false and without foundation in truth; therefore,
Resolved, That the editor of the Sentinel, in the publication of said article, is at once false and inconsistent, and merits the censure of this House therefor.
Mr. Gregory considered that if we pass a censure of this character on this newspaper, we ought to extend it so as to include every newspaper in the State. He ventured the assertion that there is not a paper of any distinct character in the State that has not published matter equally reprehensible with that in the Sentinel; and if the Sentinel has slandered the House, there is not a paper in the State but has done as much. I make the motion that they all be included in the resolution.
The Speaker the amendment is not in order, because it does not specify persons and dates.
Mr. Branham indicated a motion to lay on the table; but gave way for the direct vote, which resulted - yeas 35, nays 20.
So the resolution was adopted.
Mr. Walker submitted a resolution to authorize the Secretary of State to sell the State's property consisting of the chairs, tables, desks, etc., of the various committee rooms, at 10 o'clock a. m., of Tuesday March 11, and to place the proceeds thereof in the State Treasury; and that the chairmen of the Standing Committees be authorized to deliver said property to the Secretary of State for such sale; but -
On the motion of Mr. Satterwhite, the Senate concurrent resolution embracing the same matter, for the sale of said property at public outcry in Circle Hall, in this city, was taken up and concurred in.
Mr. Gregory asked, but did not obtain unanimous consent, to take up the Senate joint resolution No. 22, to authorize the letting of the public printing - thinking (as he said) that the passage of that resolution would be the best refutation of the charges in this morning's Sentinel that could be made.
Mr. Tingley from the Joint Committee on Public Accounts, reported their examination of the Cash Book and Vouchers of the accounting officer of the Soldiers' and Seamens' Home, and their finding the same to be correct in all respects.
The report was concurred in.
page: 272[View Page 272]THE SPEAKER.
Mr. Cauthorn. Mr. Speaker: This is the 61st day of the session - the day on which it is to terminate. During this session there have been a great many exciting scenes, questions which have required the interposition of the authority and the rulings of the Chair; and your rulings, necessarily not always satisfactory to all the members of the House, having become an occasion for censure, and having now in my hand a resolution for that purpose which it might not be proper for you to hear and adjuditate upon, I respectfully ask you to yield the chair to the gentleman from Wayne (Mr. Walker) while I may introduce it.
The Speaker. The gentleman from Wayne will take the Chair.
Mr. Cauthorn then submitted the following:
Resolved, That the thanks of this House be and they are hereby tendered to William K. Edwards, for the faithful and impartial manner in which he has discharged the duties devolved upon him as Speaker of the House during the session; and that for his future success and prosperity he has our sympathies and best wishes.
Mr. Woollen. This is the second time that I have served in the General Assembly as a member of this House. During my first term Judge Buskirk was in the Chair, and this time the gentleman from Vigo. I have watched his decisions narrowly and I believe that they heve been received with unanimous, universal approbation: and I believe it a just opinion, that his decisions as Speaker have been eminently fair; and if he has given favor to any, it has as often fallen to those acting with the party opposed to him as to those acting with the party in unison with him. I desire to say this, from ihe fact, that the position of Speaker is both difficult and delicate; and when a gentleman so acts in it as not to incur the displeasure of any, I sincerely think that he is entitled to thanks.
Mr. Givan endorsed the remarks of the gentleman from Johnson. He also was a member of the House during the Speakership of Judge Buskirk and the present incumbent. It seemed to him throughout these sessions that no man could take serious exceptions to the rulings of the gentleman from Vigo; and it was with great pleasure that he bore this testimony to the uniformly courteous deportment of the Speaker.
Mr. Buskirk proposed to strike out the word "sympathies," as redundant; and Mr. Cauthorn acquiesced Whereupon, the resolution was adopted by the rising vote - the Speaker pro tem. (Mr. Walker) saying: It is with great pleasure, (because it in accordance with my own vote,) that the Chair announces that the House of Representatives unanimously approves the course of the gentleman from Vigo.
Mr. Gregory now called up the consideration of the Joint Resolution S. No. 22, authorizing the letting of the Public Printing paper buying and binding to the lowest responsible bidderby the Governor, Secretary, Auditor and Treasurer of the State.
Mr. Hardesty demanded a call of the House.
Mr. Mellett. I have been one of those several members here who, during the present session of the Legislative, have worked faithfully in order to get a bill for the public printing in the interests of the people. Our work, such as it has been, has gone to the record; and I stand upon that. I believe that the bill which this House acted upon and which we sent to the Senate, would have protected the printing interests of the State better than any other method that could possibly be devised. It was upon the question of letting the public printing to the lowest bidder that the Senate disagreed to that bill. The House offered two methods: one was the bill sent to the Senate, and the other was for the letting of the Public Printing to the lowest bidder; (as by the pending resolution;) that was the bill prepared by the gentleman from Johnson (Mr. Woollen;) it was voluminous, but carefully drawn - its provisions hedged about, the treasury so as to guard the interests of the people in every direction; and whilst I might have been willing to vote for that bill, I could not be willing to vote for the Senate bill - that was thrust upon us as an amendment to our bill - that Senate amendment was a contract system bill, and very loosely drawn.
And when it became a question, whether we shall have this bill or leave the law as it is, I said, let us leave it as it is. The result is, that the public printing will be left to be executed under the statutes of 1852 and 1853dividing the responsibility of the superintendance between the Secretary and the Governor of the State. And I think that as safe a place to rest this interest as could be afforded at present by any law which we could pass on the subject. I hope, therefore, that the House will not be so indiscrete as to pass this Senate resolution for the naked contract system, which will open again upon us those floodgates of peculation and corruption, of the effects of which we have had some experience. I move to lay it on the table.
Mr. Woollen. Does this resolution provide for the continuance of the public printing after the adjournment?
Mr. Mellett. I so understand it. I understand also, that under the existing law the printing will be contracted for under the supervision of the Governor and Secretary of State. It will be perhaps, about equally distributed between the parties. I insist on my motion to lay the resolution on the table.
On the motion of Mr. Jones the House then took a recess till two o'clock p. m.
The Speaker resumed at t wo o'clock p. m.
Mr. Cauthorn submitted a resolution (which was adopted) tendering the thanks of the House of Representatives to the elective Clerks the acting Doorkeeper, by name, and the employers acting with them in the service of the General Assembly for the courteous, prompt and faithful discharge of their duties.
Mr. Branham, (by unanimous consent,) presented the stationery account of the Principal and Principal Assistant Clerks, showing the aggregate amount of the cost of the stationery used by the former during the session to be $100.32, and that used by the latter to be $137 53, which he alleged to be the most economical service in that department ever before presented.
Mr. Cauthorn. And no doubt members have "borrowed" a great deal from the Clerk's desk for their own use.
The statement was ordered to be spread upon the Journal.
The Speaker laid before the House the concurrent resolutions relative to the Calumet Dam, which were concurred in, with an amendment striking out the direction to the Attorney General to present the same to the Illinois General Assembly, which amendment was adopted on the motion of Mr. Cauthorn.
The Speaker now returned to the consideration of the unfinished business, viz: the consideration of the Senate concurrent resolution No. 22, for letting the public printing to the lowest bidder.
Mr. Branham alleged that there is no longer a quorum of 51 members present, or in the city; and so that matter was passed over.
page: 273[View Page 273]REPORTS - ACTS - JOURNALS.
Mr. Edwards of Lawrence submitted a resolution for an order (which was adopted) as follows:
Resolved, That the Secretary of State be authorized to send to each member of the House of Representatives three copies of the Brevier Legislative Reperts and the acts of this session, and one copy each of the House and Senate Journals of this and the special session as soon at the same are printed and bound.
Mr. Shirley submitted the following:
Resolved, That Lister L. Norton be allowed $200 for services rendered to the Judiciary Committee as Janitor; and that the Speaker be directed to draw his warrant on the Auditor of State to allow the same. This (he said) will make up the $300 which the service performed is worth, and which he was employed to perform - having no other service as stated by a member of the Judiciary Committee. And now the question is whether we will cut down this service to $100?
Mr. Mellett. When this question was up the other day I asked the question whether this Janitor to the Committee was not also Janitor to the United States Court? and the question was not then answered; but I have since learned that he was not; that he was brought here from Bloomington, and put in simply to attend to this business.
Mr. Branham. My opinion is that that amount ought to be paid; but, under the decisions of our Courts, it can not be paid in that way by resolution.
Mr. Johnson. I know of a similar allowance that has been paid on the order of the Chairman of the Committee.
Mr. Branham. But now the Auditor of State has determined to follow the law strictly; and the law says, that, where there is law; no resolution of the House can altar that law; and all that can be legally drawn is what the law provides.
Mr. Miller. Couldn't it be paid out of the appropriation for the expenses of the Legislature?
Mr. Branham. Not unless the amount be fixed by law.
Mr. Miller. The Auditor had paid for the Senate newspapers in that way.
Mr. Branham. I think, if the gentleman will apply to at the Auditor's office he will find that it has not been allowed.
Mr. Johnson. I did not know till just now that $100 had been allowed to Mr. Norton; but that young man has earned his money. I am informed that the Journal and Sentinel have been paid on the Senate resolution. A gentleman near me says so.
Mr. Mellett. It certainly becomes us to make the just allowance for services we have contracted for and received. I suppose this is one of the things for which the law does not provide. It is the wish of all to make the allowance for the service of this Committee - just as we have done for every expense we have incurred - to make the allowance for the service and have it paid for. I suppose they all stand upon the same footing; and if others are paid, of course this can be; and we owe it to ourselves to say so. All the jurisdiction we have is over the Speaker. All we can do is to have the warrant signed.
Mr. Smith. I think $300 is too much. [Voice; "No: that is what the others get."] I know that the Janitor of the Ways and Means Committee got $2 a day.
Mr. Woollen. Upon inquiry, I find that the Janitor of our committee is not in the pay of the State at all; and $300 will not be extravagant.
The resolution was then adopted.
Mr. Billingsley submitted a resolution for an order (which was adopted) that each of the elective officers of this House be allowed a copy of all the documents heretofore voted to members, including the Revised Statutes.
The Speaker laid before the House the Senate concurrent resolution directing the Secretary of State to cause two thousand copies of the acts knows as the Circuit Court bill, the fee bill and the assessment bill to be printed and stitched in pamphlet form and distributed among the counties according to the ratio of population, was taken up; but -
Mr. Woollen suggesting an amendment, it was laid over.
The Speaker announced the appointment of Messrs. Johnson and Claypool to wait on the Governor and learn from him the time when it will be convenient for him to make to the House of Representatives his next communication respecting the enrolled acts in his hands originating in this body.
Mr. Baxter submitted a concurrent resolution authorizing the Commissioners of the House of Refuge to expend in improvements of the House of Refuge any surplus funds out of the appropriations for that institution for the years 1873 and 1874.
Mr. Branham. I hope that resolution will pass. I want to put these men on their good behavior; and that upon their showing to the Legislature that shall come here two years hence they will be justified in adopting the same plan.
The resolution was adopted on the part of the House of Representatives.
Mr. Woodard submitted the following:
Resolved, That the amount allowed yesterday to the Committee on Education was not just and should not have been proposed. [Laughter: Voices: "Referred to Gen. Blocher." They decline the money."]
The Speaker, being required by law so to do, now submitted his detailed report of the number and amount of all the warrants drawn by the Speaker for the pay of members, officers and employees of the House of Representatives during the present session. The aggregate amount was $64,095
It was ordered to be spread on the Journal.
Mr. Johnson from the committee appointed to wait on the Governor for that purpose, reported for the Governor's answer, that he will have no further communication to make to the House of Representatives before five o'clock p.m.
The Senate concurrent resolution for printing certain bills in pamphlet was again taken up; and -
Mr. Woollen proposed to amend, by striking out the words, "known as," and the words, "fee bill and assessment bill," and inserting these words: "the bill in regard to the order of the Circuit Courts, the bill in regard to the convening of Grand Juries, and the bill in regard to prosecutions for misdemeanors by affidavit."
The amendment was agreed to; and so amended the resolution was adopted on the part of the House of Representatives.
The House then took a recess till five o'clock p.m.
The Speaker resumed the Chair at five o'clock p.m.
page: 274[View Page 274]CLERK'S STATIONERY ACCOUNT.
Mr. Teeter presented the stationery account of the Principal Assistant Clerk amounting in the aggregate to $137,53: which was concurred in; ordered to be spread on the Journal in connection with the stationery account of the Principal Clerk presented this day by Mr. Branham.
The Speaker. It will be necssary to appoint a committee to wait on the Governor for his answer as to further communications.
A message from the Governor was now received by the hand of Mr. Downey, his private Secretary announcing his approval and signature of enrolled acts originating in the House of Representatives, numbered 504, 224, 530, 337, 339, 332, 495, 241, 139, 541, 503, 213, 531, 535, and that he has caused the same to be deposited in the office of the Secretary of State.
On the motion of Mr. Cobb, it was formally ordered by resolution that a committee be appointed to wait on the Governor and ascertain whether he has any further communication to make to the House of Representatives at the present session; and that a committee be appointed to wait on the Senate and inquire whether that body has any further communication: whereupon -
The Speaker appointed Messrs. Cobb, Smith and Edwards of Lawrence to wait on the Governor, and the Principal Clerk to wait on the Senate for these purposes.
Mr. Gifford submitted a resolution for a "Reward of $100,000" lo Maj. Gen. Blocher, for his services in "the war against the Island of Ohio," which was ruled out of order.
Mr. Cobb, from the special committee appointed to wait on the Governor, reported the discharge of that duty and his Excellency's answer, that he has no further communications to make to the House of Representatives.
The Senate amendments, to the House propositions to amend the Constitution of the State in article 2, section 4, etc., etc., were taken tip and concurred in.
Mr. Woodard moved that the House do now adjourn sine die.
The Speaker. That motion can't be made. We can't adjourn sine die till the Senate informs us that they have no further communication to make.
Mr. Blocher. I move that we all have a recess for five minutes in order that we may have a good shake hands with the Speaker.
Mr. Johnson (standing on his desk.) All in favor of the motion say aye!- The response was all a one-sided affirmative. [Whereupon, Mr. Blocher being invited to a seat on the right of the Speaker, advances, shakes hands with the Speaker and takes the assigned position.]
A message from the Senate announced the passage in that body of certain engrossed amendments to the House Joint Resolution for amendments to the Constitution of the State of Indiana: which propose amongst other things that it shall be provided by law that the judicial elections shall take place at some time when no other elections are pending. The Senate amendments were concurred in.
The Speaker. I would say to the House that after the final adjournment I would be very glad to accept the greetings so kindly tendered under the motion of the gentleman from Scott [Mr. Blocher.]
Mr. Blocher. Now, gentlemen, I insist on the fulfilment of my motion.
Voices: "Consent," "consent:"
So, thereupon, members rose up from the benches in every part of the House and began to order the line of march for the greeting of the Speaker; and the Speaker, acquiesing, benignly, descended the dais to the right and courteously grasped the right hand of every Representative in the Hall as the line passed in order; and every member present returned at once to his place.
Mr. Gifford. The State of Indiana has now ended the war with Ohio. It is as it was with the Little Corporal at the bridge of Lodi. Gen. Blocher seized the flag when scales trembled with determining the result of the conflict, and victory has perched upon the brow of the gentleman from Vigo. [Laughter with cheerings.]
A message from the Senate announced the passage in that body of a concurrent resolution authorizing and empowering the Governor. Secretary, Auditor and Treasurer of State, with the advice of the Superintendant of the Hospital for the Insane, to take the necessary steps for the erection of another Asylum for the Insane, similar to the one already erected - said Asylum not to exceed in cost thereof the sum of $500,000; and the faith of the State is hereby pledged for whatever amount may be expended under this resolution before the assembling of the next General Assembly.
Also a concurrent resolution authorizing and empowering the Governor, Secretary, Auditor, and Treasurer of State to proceed and carry to its completion the work on the Reformatory Institution for Women and Girls.
Also this: Whereas several acts have been passed increasing the salaries of the several State and county officers: and whereas such salaries fixed by former laws have been increased by said acts; now, therefore, resolved, that it is declared to be the true intent and meaning of said acts to make the amounts fixed as said salaries to be the amounts in full to be paid to them as said salaries; and the House of Representatives is respectfully requested to concur herein.
The Speaker stated the first question to be on concurrence in the former resolution - that authorizing the State officers to commence a new Insane Asylum building on the present grounds - the cost not to exceed $500,000, and for the completion of the Reformatory.
On motion of Mr. King, the resolution was amended by striking out the Reformatory clause - without a division.
Mr. Smith was originally in favor of dividing the State into Hospital districts for the care of the Insane; but now he believed under the circumstances, we ought to adopt this resolution.
Mr. Heller could not think so. It is simply a project for establishing the thing here, so that it can not be removed from the capital of the State. I can't cast my vote so to fix this Institution that no future Legislation will ever give one to the people of the northern part of the State.
Mr. Smith. The State of Ohio has five Hospitals for the Insane.
Mr. Heller. We passed a bill here the other day giving an Asylum north of Indianapolis; and it was done by the friends of Indianapolis and of the people of the State.
Mr. Johnson. That is a mistake. Marion county never voted for it.
Mr. Heller. Then I am mistaken. But I know, and you know, Mr. Speaker, that this is for the purpose of cutting the northern people out. I therefore protest against the passage of this resolution, especially at this hour, and when there is not a quorum present.
On the motion of Mr. Woollen, this Asylum resolution was passed over so far as to allow the House to take up that declaring the com- page: 275[View Page 275] pletness of the legally prescribed salaries for official compensation, and it was adopted on the part of the House of Representatives.
The Speaker then returned to the question on the former resolution to authorize the State offices to commence the building of another Insane Asylum on the present Asylum grounds.
Mr. Butterworth did not believe it wise or good policy to erect this building: but in his opinion provision should be made at once for the accommodation of at least two or three hundred of this class - not for medical treatment, but for the care of chronic cases - and thus relieve the counties from the care of those chronic cases. We can furnish places for perhaps 250 patients of this class at the Reformatory, which would be filled up at once with women and girls. Now, therefore, since we all have confidence in the Governor and the State officers, I move to reconsider the vote by which we voted down the resolution converting the Reformatory Institution into an Insane Asylum.
Mr. Hollingsworth. I think it would be improper and very wrong, especially at this time and in such an inconsiderate manner to divert the Reformatory from its original purpose.
The House refused to reconsider: and then on the motion of Mr. Tully, the matter was laid on the table - yeas 22, nays 19.
Mr. Mellett. I would like to have the Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means to state what he knows about this matter.
Mr. Kimball. I hope some gentleman will move a reconsideration of the vote that laid the Insane Asylum resolution on the table.
The Speaker laid before the House the following message from the Senate, just now announced by their Secretary:
Resolved by the Senate (the House concurring,) That the General Assembly do now adjourn sine die.
The resolution was adopted by unanimous consent on the part of the House of Representatives.
Mr. Gifford I move that this House now adjourn sine die: whereupon -
The Speaker said: Gentlemen of the House of Representatives, we are now at the close of another laborious session. This General Assembly has been eminently successful in originatig and completing most of the important legislation required by the necessities of the State. The two sessions through which we have passed have not been without their important lessons in legislative practice. One of these must be apparent to every member. It is that the general and specific appropriation bills should not be left to the haste and confusion of the closing hours, but should be considered and matured at as early a day of the session as the course of business will permit. Another is the danger of grouping together a large number of subjects and interests in one appropriation bill, and considering them all at the same time. Each subject or class of appropriations should stand upon its own merits and be separately acted upon.
The enactments which you have assisted in making, are important to the best interests of society intended for the good of the State, and a proper respect for law and order, requires their due and faithful execution.
The uniform kindness and courtesy that you have so uniformly extended to me, and the unusual harmony which has prevailed during our deliberations, has created on my part a warm sentiment of personal attachment to each one of you, without exception.
The generous resolution you passed this morning, the manner of it, impress me still more sensibly with the highest obligation which your kindness has placed upon me. The feeling that our intercourse has produced commands from me not friendship alone, but that which the kindliest and purest sentiments of the heart direct.
As you will now return to your respective homes, I wish you the fullest enjoyment of health, happiness and success in life.
Pursuant to your order, I now pronounce this House adjourned sine die.

Like many software product companies, we spent an exorbitant amount of money in 2008 developing our product. I've heard that there are federal R&D tax credits available ("Section 41 Credit"), but our CPA does not specialize in this area, and advised that we hire a consultant who can evaluate whether our activities would qualify.
Have you had any experience in R&D credits for software product development?

Jormungand and Claymore [although after episode 22 or so, I'd suggest reading the manga; the anime ends on a completely impossible-to-salvage note... Not that it was bad, just that any studio who decides to pick up the series and continue with the manga has to completely ignore everything from this point].
Uhm...Speedgrapher, if you can find it. The Rebuild of Evangelion movies are great, too, and you don't necessarily had to have watched the original series in order to understand them, but it is my recommendation to do so beforehand.
Innocent Venus is a pretty good one, as well.
Kara no Kyoukai/Garden of Sinners, if you haven't seen it yet. I can't stress enough how bloody amazing this series is.
Gosick starts off pretty light-hearted, but quickly devolves into a clusterfuck that quickly left me wanting a happy ending about halfway through [dunno if you like all the fluff that comes along with a romance anime, though].
Katanagatari is not dark, but I thought to add it in here anyway since it's just plain amazing [especially if you're into antics].
Aaaaaand that's it for now, I guess.
Also, yeah, the Ultimate OVAs are far, far, far superior to the original Hellsing series.
EDIT: Not sure if it's done yet, but Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge is a pretty dark series, too.
Uhm... Dangan Ronpa comes highly recommended from me, as well as Shin Sekai Yori.
If we succeed, it is at the point of the sword.
If there is a long dispute, then both parties are wrong.

I think I petered out on Jormungand around episode 11 or so.
Claymore about the same. It was getting a bit boring, and though I haven't heard specifics, people have told me the ending for the anime is eye-bleeding bad.
Watched around episode 14 of Evangelion. Asuras told me about the movies. First movie came on Toonami a few weeks after that, and I was pretty damn surprised that they basically got all of the important parts in there.
Haven't heard of the other stuff.

Origin: Fujian Province, China
Leaf Type: Green Tea infused with Jasmine Flowers
Taste: Sweet jasmine
Drink: Without milk
Brew: Lightly, 2-3 minutes according to taste with water off the boil
When to drink: Throughout the day
The gently perfumed taste of Jasmine Tea makes it one of the most popular scented teas in China. It is a hugely elegant drink that fills your mind with oriental splendour every time you take a sip.
Believed to date back to the Song Dynasty, Jasmine tea was originally a tea for China's elite, drunk only by members of the Imperial Court. Its beautiful taste is achieved through its very precise preparation. The beautifully aromatic jasmine flowers are picked at dusk, just when their scent is headiest. At night-time they are layered with the long leaves of fine green tea, the petals infusing the tea with their perfume. The result is a sweet, aromatic tea that captivates the senses.
Jasmine tea is a naturally flavoured green tea with an unmistakable floral taste. It is a great-tasting and reviving tea to drink throughout the day.

I love Jasmine and this is by far the best jasmine-tea I ever tasted!
Great for a treat, had to buy an extra one for my sister-in-law
a very good tea, full of jasmine flavour. I tried the first cup after brewing it for 3 minutes and it was great but when I tried the tea remained in the teapot for a longer time it was very bitter so it is a great tea but mind the brewing time

The article is a short reflection on how game (specifically, First Person Shooters) to film adapations have, generally speaking, yielded poor results. To be honest, I don't find this surprising at all.
Adaptations are hard. Damn hard. In order to make a good game to film adaptation, the writer/director needs to know what makes a good game, what makes a good movie, and perhaps most importantly, the difference between them. My point here is that what works well in a game does not necessarily work well in film, and vice versa. Most directors who have made game to film adapations demonstrate a lack of knowledge and understanding in this area.
Most of them are experienced film directors/producers who don't really know anything about video games. Sometimes it's the other way around; game designers/developers who aren't familiar with the intricacies of film. Or in the case of Uwe Boll, you have a man who quite clearly doesn't know anything about either format.
Building on the example in the GoN article, Doom is an excellent demonstration of what happens when you mix game and film elements in an inappropriate way.
The most obvious instance of this is the lengthy sequence that is shot in first person which apparently seemed like a great idea when the film was in production. Executive producer John Wells said that not including a first person sequence in Doom would be a "miscarriage of justice". Karl Urban (Reaper) said of the seqeunce, "the audience is doing the rampage, the audience is doing the work and that is so cool. It's insane!".
That's absolute nonsense.
The reason why first person perspective is naturally immersive in videogames is that you're working with an interactive medium. In the film, the audience isn't doing anything. They're observing. The whole scene feels very mechanical and gimmicky and it gets boring pretty fast.
Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times) wrote:Doom is like some kid came over and is using your computer and won't let you play.
Joshua Tyler (cinemablend.com) wrote:A lot like sitting next to your buddy, looking over his shoulder while he plays an old first person shooter on his computer. Watching isn't as fun as playing.
In my opinion, there's actually a much bigger disconnect between film and videogames than there is between film and literature. That sounds counterintuitive at first, because unlike books, movies and games seem like they have more in common as they are both audio-visual in nature. But while movies and books are primarily a storytelling medium, games can survive without much (or any) story because it's the interactivity that is most important.
Of course, that's not to say that videogames can't deliver a compelling narrative (actually, I'm of the opinion that games are much better at this than movies are), but the interactivity comes first. If there's no interactivity, it isn't a game. I can think of many great games that have absolutely no story at all but I can't say the same for film.
If you really want to translate a game to a film, you have to make changes to suit the medium. Usually, lots of changes. What would Half-Life, for example, look like if you presented it as a film without making any changes to the story? Apart from being 6-8 hours long with only half an hour of dialogue, the bulk of the film would consist of Gordon crawling through air ducts and breaking open crates with his crowbar. If you wanted to make it work as a film, a lot of stuff would have to be cut and the story (while adequate for a game) would have to be fleshed out significantly, which is extremely difficult.
Gabe Newell (Valve Software) wrote:There was a whole bunch of meetings with people from Hollywood. Directors down there wanted to make a Half-Life movie and stuff, so they'd bring in a writer or some talent agency would bring in writers, and they would pitch us on their story. And their stories were just so bad. I mean, brutally, the worst. Not understanding what made the game a good game, or what made the property an interesting thing for people to be a fan of.
Very similar issues exist when bringing books to film as well. When Peter Jackson's the Lord of the Rings was released, I remember hearing a lot of Tolkien fans voicing their distaste after noticing some of the significant dramatic changes that Jackson made when writing the screenplay. Not only do I think that those changes work, but I also think the bulk of them were absolutely necessary for the story to flow properly as a film. It's totally unsurprising to me that earlier attempts which were much more faithful to the original story were not as well received by the moviegoing public.
Suddenly I've come to think of Ender's Game, which is one of my favourite books (and one I assume many people here would have read). The film adaptation of Ender's Game recently finished principal photography and should be out some time next year. As a fan, I'm both concerned and fascinated with how the movie is going to turn out because as far as I can see, there is absolutely no way you can tell a story like Ender's Game on screen exactly the way it was written as a book.
Let's take my favourite character, Bean, as an example. When bean is first introduced in Ender's Shadow (for those of you that haven't read it, it's the same story as Ender's Game but told from Bean's perspective), he is about four years old but looks like a two year old. Combined with his incredible intelligence, I declare that there is no child actor in the world that could pull off such a character in both appearance and performance; I don't care how talented they are. The only way I could think of doing this is CGI, but in many ways, that would be even more difficult to pull off.
It's obvious that there has been a ton of changes to the story for the film adapatation and I can't help but feel extremely conflicted about this. The fan in me is upset that they would make such changes with what seems like willful disregard of the original story's themes but the more open and objective me admits that telling Ender's Game as-is in film would just not be feasible. I really don't know what to expect.
So what about you? What adaptations have you seen that you thought were very good or just didn't work at all? What game/book would you love/hate to see adapted? Discuss!

YONKERS, N.Y. - Naiyara Smith has been dreaming, planning and preparing for the moment she could walk on to the Gorton High School football field as a player and Thursday her dream came true.
Smith, a senior wide receiver and defensive end, practiced with the rest of her teammate Gorton Wolves for the first time this week, becoming the only female on a Westchester County high school football preseason roster this year.
"Being on the field for the first time was overwhelming," Smith said. "Everyone cheered and clapped and screamed. It was wild. When I first walked into the weight room, the first time I tried to join the team, they didn't take me seriously. But all the guys came on board when they saw that I wanted it so much."
The newest Gorton Wolf said she was motivated to play football after watching the team practice during her sophomore year. Although she did not play sports growing up, she said she admired tennis sisters Serena and Venus Williams.
"I remember watching the Gorton team practice and play when I was a sophomore," Smith said. "I didn't have anything to do after school and didn't play other sports, so I thought I'd like to try it because it didn't look to hard. But it is tough and it took a lot to get here."
Faced with strict qualifying rules that discourage Yonkers Public School female students from trying out for boys football teams, Smith applied and failed twice over the last two years to make the physical requirements.
"At first I wasn't built for it," Smith said. "You have to have strength, and be very limber. I got a little angry when I was told I was denied, so I started working out -- jumping rope, lifting weight, running, exercising. It took time. But I just wanted a shot at it."
Gorton football coach Dan DeMatteo has been a strong supporter of Smith's attempt to break the high school football glass ceiling since she came to him the first time asking to play. When she was denied a spot on the team last year, Smith volunteered to be a team manager.
"Girls have asked about being on the team before and I take each request seriously," DeMatteo said. "But many girls just give up and go on to another sport. Naiyara just kept showing up again and again. She never gave up. She passed the physical requirements that a lot of guys would find difficult."
Smith says her support group began with (captains) Nathan Lubin, Jonathon Jones and Will Young and spread to the entire team. Lubin helped her learn to skip rope, taught her running technique and how to block and tackle.
"(Naiyara) is a member of the team just like any other player," Lubin said. "As captains we help every player to get better and the be a part of the team. We are all our brothers and she is our sister."
Young, who had helped mentor Smith as his backup on the defensive line, said Smith has worked hard to be a member of the team.
"She does everything we do," Young said. "We will protect her just like we protect each other. I think she proved that she belongs on the team and she should have been on last year."
Smith said her mother (Lianna Brathwait) was apprehensive at first but joined her support group when she saw her daughter begin the change before her eyes. Smith has dropped more than 25 pounds to her current 150-pound playing weight.
"At first, my mom was worried because I didn't look like I could make it because I was a really big," Smith recalled. "But when she saw me working out in front of my building and slimming down, race in the park with the guys, she realized I was serious and helped me."
The next goal for Smith is to play in a live game and to make that first real block and tackle.
"I hope to get in a game or scrimmage soon," she said. "The guys are going to underestimate me and I'm going to surprise them. I like the hitting and hopefully I can avoid being hit too hard myself. I hope I can be an inspiration to other girls who want to play a sport."

Why miss out on the tribal tattoo of your dreams? don't settle for any amateur designs!
Thousands of people who rushed into picking out a design, ended up picking something they didn't like. Stuck with an ugly tribal tattoo, or they spend hundreds of dollars on laser/surgery just to get it removed.
Do you remember spending hours upon hours going through the tattoo parlor books, trying to pick the best tribal design? I think its important that your tattoo says something about your personality.
Most sites offering free tattoo galleries are often of poor quality. When making a strong decision on something like a tattoo, its best to consult professional designers. Membership sites are the better option when searching online, some sites have you paying $15 for a single design, ridiculous. At least with membership sites you pay one fee and get unlimited downloads.
5/5 – Chopper Tattoo – why do I endorse it?
Chopper Tattoo's selection of tattoo designs and tattoo lettering continues to grow and grow. Each day new tribal tattoo pictures and designs are added to their huge database. Once you become a member, you will gain access to one of the largest selections of high quality tattoo designs on the internet.

Subject: Re: Managing Information in the Digital Age, at New Delhi, March 20-23, 2012 To: Susan Chacko <email@example.com>
Dear Susan,
I returned to Sri Lanka on the 24th safely. I wish to thank you for all the support and facilities extended to us during our stay from the 19th till the 24th. The training was very productive and you made us who are not IT specialists, confident to move forward in the digital age even without the knowledge of programming & such advanced knowledge. Initially, I plan to start on the thesaurus for the Faculty knowledge base which spans from DDC 500 - 600 and also other related subject areas which Kiran told would take months to complete. It was a good exposure. I mailed to Premila too about the programme and conveyed your regards to her. She too wanted me to convey her regards to all of you. Thank you once again. Kind regards. Sriyani

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), and Bhubaneswar Development Authority invites you to Regional Dialogue on Sustainable ('green') Building Bhubaneswar, December 13, 2013
Our aspiration for higher standards of living is accompanied by an ever-increasing gap between energy demand and supply. Plagued with the highest distribution and transmission losses in the world, buildings (domestic and commercial) in India consume an enormous 33 per cent energy.
Date: December 13, 2013 Venue: Crystal Hall, Hotel Mayfair Convention Centre, Jaydev Vihar, Bhubaneswar
Centre for Science and Environment is organizing "Regional Dialogue on Sustainable Buildings" in collaboration with the Bhubaneswar Urban Development Authority (BDA) in Bhubaneswar on December 13 at 9.30 am in Hotel Mayfair. This is an experience dialogue on the strategies on green buildings to improve energy and resource efficiency in building construction and usage.
Surface water sources such as lakes, ponds and rivers are very important as they help in flood control, ground water recharge and storm protection. They also secure water for drinking, agriculture and industrial purposes. They play an important role in mitigating and adapting to the climate change effects. Once, lakes and wetlands played a vital role in South Asia's urban landscape, but rapid urbanisation in the region has led to massive encroachment and pollution of its waterbodies.
