THE BREVIER LEGISLATIVE REPORTS.
Mr. Claypool, from the Committee on Finance , submitted a report, as follows:
Mr. President: The Committee on Finance to whom was referred a resolution of the Senate directing the Door-keeper of the Senate to contract with the Messrs. Drapier for the purchase of 600 copies of the "Brevier Legislative Reports," have considered the same and have directed me to report the same back to the Senate, [the resolution is printed on page 233 of these Reports], and recommend that said doorkeeper be instructed to contract for 600 copies of said reports,for the use of the Senators, at a cost not exceeding one dollar per copy, as specified in said resolution. Your committee take this occasion to say that said reports are not as full as they could desire. Said committee would further recommend that the Senate by law provide for the employment of a Reporter of its proceedings hereafter which shall be under the control and direction of the Senate.
Mr. WAGNER. As a matter of course there is no disposition to pass upon this matter until the Senate shall be fuller. I move to postpone it till this afternoon at 4 o'clock, and make it the special order for that hour.
The motion to postpone was agreed to.
Mr. March, from the Judiciary Committee, returned his appeal bill, 223-see page 267 of these Reports-recommending passage.
The report was concurred in.
Then, at (11 1/2) came the recess till 2 o'clock.
