Today's session was remarkable with Mr. Stanislaw Malachowski, the Speaker, conducting the proceedings in the absence of the President. The Speaker stressed the importance of the government structure and the division of offices in providing stability and confidence, particularly in recognizing the distinguished individuals recommended by the various bureaus.

Mr. Antoni Malachowski, a senator from Mazovia, supported the entrance of nominees into the Treasury Commission, while Mr. Franciszek Grocholski, Representative from Bratslav argued for recognition of educators’ contributions.

There was a vigorous debate over allowances for educators and whether certain Cabinet members should be exempt from stamp duty. Mr. Jan Luszczewski, the Secretary, read a Treasury Commission note recommending Mr. Franciszek Andrychiewicz, Secretary to be freed from such regulations.

The session showcased passionate speeches on who deserves exemptions, with Mr. Kazimierz Rzewuski, Representative from Podolia and others commenting on the value of contributions to the Union.

Mr. Ignacy Potocki, the Speaker thanked supporters for recognizing those serving in the Education Commission and others who had offered beneficial services to the Union.

Moving on, Mr. Jacek Jezierski, senator Castellan from Lukow presented a project concerning local manufacturers, highlighting the need to reward contributions to the economy.

Mr. Franciszek Kwilecki, Representative from Poznan argued for exemptions for individuals who serve the public interest, noting this does not diminish the significance of their contributions.

The session became heated when discussing the rights to rewards and distinctions, such as exemptions from certain duties, particularly stamp duty, which indicate a special recognition by the Union. The debate touched on issues of the merit-based system and the need to value true service to the Union.

As the day progressed, discussions also tackled monetary contributions to the Union's treasury, the rights of educated individuals, and merits of military personnel.

Before concluding, the session moved to logistical matters, aligning regulations and planning for future meetings. The Speaker indicated the closures with a decision to adjourn the session until the following Monday, providing lawmakers time to review and organize the laws established over the past two years.

In summary, the day highlighted the struggles in maintaining balance between rewarding merit, recognizing service, and conserving the dignity of the Union’s rewards and distinctions. The session will resume on Monday with hopes of clearer pathways for decision-making and acknowledgment of contributions to the public good.
