BEN:MLR:A CAIJOUS—TILE QUESTION OF
ADDITI ON A L OFFICERS.
The Republican Representatives had
-another caucus this evening, at which
• the question of the twenty-seven addi
--tiontal officers was under discussion.
There seems to be a difficulty. The State
Treasurer does not feel warranted in pay
ing these new officers on a simple HOLM
resolution. It is said no concurrent reso
lution can he put through the Senate, and
it is doubtful if compensation can I. e work
ed into the appropriation bill at the close
• of the session, as a number of Republi
can Senators express themselves against
any increase. The caucus resolved to
stick to the House resolution, though a
preposition was made and rejected to re
duce the number.
