Mr. DORSEY. I desire to make a statement for the information of the Convention. I am authorized by Messrs. Lord and Pitman to say that they are not candidates for the position of reporter at any price below their original bid of $125 per thousand ems. It is but right and proper that the Convention should understand that fact. Mr. BURNS. I desire to make a statement in connection with that. I am informed that there is no reporter here who has the proceedingsof this Convention from the commencement but Messrs. Lord and Pitman. Whether that is true, or not, I do not know. Clark of Jefferson, Clark of Ross, Coats, De Steiguer, Dorsey, Foran, Griswold, Hale, Hitchcock, Hoadly, Horton, Hostetter, Hunt, Jackson, Johnson, Kerr, McBride, Miller, Mueller, Mullen, O'Connor, Okey, Phellis, Philips, Pond, Pratt, Reily, Rickly, Rowland, Russell of Muskingum, Scribner, Shaw, Shultz, Smith of Highland, Smith of Shelby, Thompson, Townsley, Tripp, Tulloss, Tyler, Van Voorhis, Waddle, Wells, West, White of Brown, White of Hocking, Woodbury, Young of Champaign, President. 57.

So the resolution as amended was adopted. The second resolution reported by the committee was as follows; Resolved, That the Committee on Printing be directed to invite proposals from the publishers of Ohio for the composition and press-work of the proceedings and debates, in accordance with the resolution adopted by the Convention. The question was taken, and the resolution was adopted. HOADLY, MUELLER. Mr. HOADLY. I offer the following resolu-sence or not. It ignores the rule we have adopttion; ed and leaves the statute to be interpreted by Resolved, That Mr. Adel, Mr. Weaver, and Messrs. the members themselves. The question in reLord and Pitman be requested to furnish to the Commit-gard to that matter has not been disposed of by tee on Reporting and Publication, a report of the proceedings and debates of the Convention up to the time of the employment of an official reporter of the Convention, and that the committee report to the Convention which report is most worthy of publication and the proper compensation therefor; provided that this resolution shall not be considered as committing the Convention to pay ment for any report except the one finally adopted. The resolution was adopted. PAY OF MEMBERS. Mr. MUELLER submitted the following resolutions; Resolved, That it be and is hereby ordered that members and officers may draw and receive their per diem at any time they choose, and that the President of the Convention certify the same. Resolved, That the Secretary shall keep, with each member and officer, an account of the compensation to which he is entitled and the payments made thereon. Mr. ROOT. I move that the Convention now adjourn. The motion to adjourn was not agreed to. The question was upon adopting the resolutions offered by Mr. MUELLER. Mr. WEST. Allow me to suggest an amendment to the first resolution, and that is to insert the words; "C as due” instead of "at any time they choose." Mr. MUELLER. That is superfluous. There is no per diem for the future, it is only for the past. However I will accept the amendment and modify the resolution accordingly. Mr. SCOFIELD. I desire to amend the resolution by adding the following: And that the pay of Joseph Gutzwiler, Assistant Secretary, shall date from Saturday May 24th, the day he en tered upon the discharge of his duties. The reason I offer this amendment is that Mr. Gutzwiler entered upon the discharge of his The amendment was adopted. amended. Mr. BURNS.

Mr. PRESIDENT: To-day was assigned for the consideration of the Report of the standing committee on Benevolent Institutions. I find, however, on examination, that the report, as printed, has several important errors. I do not propose to take it up to-day, but if it should be the pleasure of the Convention, I would like to have it called up to-morrow morning-the report will then have been correctly printed and laid upon the desks of members. I do not wish to hurry the Convention to the consideration of this report. I would like, however, to have it taken up and disposed of as speedily as proper, in order that room may be made for the other reports, which no doubt will be more comprehensive. I refer to the reports of the committees on the Judicial Department, Apportionment, Taxation, etc. TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1873. ty, praying for the prohibition of the manufacture, importation, and sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage: Which was referred to the committee on the Traffic in Intoxicating Liquors.

I suggest that we can hardly act upon the resolution offered by the gentleman from Clarke until we get a report from that Committee, as it seems to be covered by that same rule. Mr. WEST said that he would propose an amendment to the effect that all members who vote against adjournment shall not be "docked." [Laughter.] I move, Mr. ROOT requested the gentleman from Lonot distinctly understand what it was. gan to reduce his amendment to writing. I did sir, that the resolution be reported to the Convention with the recommendation that it be referred to the Committee on Rules and Order of Business. Mr. WEST reduced his amendment to writing, and submitted it to the Committee. Mr. BURNS wanted to hear from the gentleman from Logan on his amendment, to see Mr. MUELLER moved that the Convention whether there was any "scullduggery" about do now adjourn. Which was not agreed to. Mr. HITCHCOCK. I would inquire if there are not some other propositions which were referred to the Committee of the Whole beside the one offered by the gentleman from Butler: CHAIR. There are no propositions referred to the Committee of the Whole. There are several resolutions which were so referred, but no propositions. COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. Mr. HITCHCOCK. The Convention seems unwilling to adjourn. I will, therefore, mové that the Convention resolve itself into Committee of the Whole and proceed to consider the several resolutions committed to it. The motion was agreed to, and Mr. HITCHCOCK was called to the chair to preside over the Committee. Resolution No. 37, by Mr. BLOSE, was first on the calendar.

The substitute was disagreed to. The question being on recommending the adoption of the original resolution, Mr. MUELLER moved that the Committee recommend its indefinite postponement. it.
