vention to which the said contract was reported. The committee
impressed with the importance of continuing the debates after hav
ing progressed so far would reco mmend the adoption by the Con
vention of a resolution making a further appropriation of the sum
of two thousand dollars, which it is believed will fully meet this
expense.
The committee in making this report must do the justice to the
Reporter to add, that in the event of the refusal of the Convention to
make the appropriation necessary to meet the expenses, he is
willing to continue his individual labor in the service of the Con
vention without further compensation, but at the same time they
cannot believe that the Convention would accept the said services
without making am pie rem u neration.

All wh ich is submitted.
THOMAS F. BOWIE,
J. B. RICAUD,
A. RANDALL.
Resolved, That the President of this Convention pay to the
order of Henry G. W heeler, the Reporter of this Convention, such

of two thousand dollars.
