MR.. CLERK GARLAND-A CHAPTER OF
ACCIDENTS

II is wonderful what liability Mr. Clerk Garland
has to make mistakes when a vote Of the House is
taken by yeas and nays and how these blunders are
certain to to the benefit of the Clerk political
friends His omission of the names of Mr. Win
throp and Mr.. Joseph L. Williams, who voted in the
affirmative on the motion of Mr. Stanly to reconsider
the order for printing unnecessary and extravaganza
number of copies of the Presidents Message, has al
ready been noticed in our Congressional record. BY
the insertion of their names and counting their votes
the decision of the House reversed-thc order al
luded to was reconsdered the result that the
number Of copies to be printed reduced.
Mr. Stanly very properly commented, at the time
the suspicious circumstances attending the omission
of the names Of Messrs. Winthrop and Williams
and reminded the House that at the last session. dur
ing the consideration Of the New Jersey case, the
Clerk in declaring the vote on Mr.. Fmores motion
to insert the word lawful before the word "votes
announced yeas &C. Nays &C. when the actual state Of
the vote was, yeas 81 nays 96 The Speaker, that
occasion, gave his casting vote in the Affirmative and
thus prevented the result which would have followed
from the mistake Of the Clerk in accidentally emitting
the name of the member who had voted AYE"
Mr.. Stanly said he did not charge upon the Clerk
intentional omisson-but such accidents might hap
pen too frequently He reminded of the anecdot
of the Clergyman who, on certain wet Sunday
missed handsome silk umbrella, and found in
its place old cotton one, much tattered and torn.
He told his congregation that the exchange might
have been purely accidental but still it was greatly in
favor Of the person who took the silk umbrella and
that such mistakes might too often. II recalls
Governor Barbours story ofthc boy who happened to
find three cowbes in three successive nights. The
tale of his finding one might have been believed but
when his boosted luck extended 10 finding another
and another--the matter looked suspicious The acct
dent happened too frequently.
