THE PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
Mr. BROWN, from a majority of the Judiciary Committee, reported that, in accordance with a resolution of the Senate, it has examined the journals of the last General Assembly as to proper record of the proposed Constitutional amendments; that no such record can be found, and no entry, as commended by the Constitution, by which the Committee can determine what said propositions were, or that either House referred or intended to refer any proposition to amend the Constitution to this Assembly. The report was signed by Messrs. Spans, Bell, Brown, McCullough and Van Vorhis.
Mr. BUNDY, from the minority of said Committee, reported the en tries as found on the journal of the two Houses in he session of 1881, and copies of the joint resolutions proposing to amend the Constitution as on the file in the Secretary of State's office, and published in the laws. It did not find they were referred to this General Assembly in words on the journal of either House, but the provisions of the Constitution have been substantially complied with, and in its opinion the proposed Constitutional amendments are properly before this General Assembly, signed by Messrs. Bundy and Graham.
Mr. BUNDY moved that these reports be made the special order for next Wednesday morning at 10:30 o'clock.
The motion was agreed to.
On his further motion 150 copies of the reports and the resolution were ordered printed.
Mr. GRAHAM, favoring the motion to print: Nothing of the importance equal with this has been yet printed. It would be better to print thousands, but he would not move to amend-
Mr. BROWN objecting to the motion.
