for examination.
Mr., Fullam suggested that the proper WAS
for the gentleman claiming seat TO present the case
by memorial, which could be referred 10 the commit
tee of Of elections for examination of the facts IN
the case lie wished every opportunity gwen TO the
gentleman from Greensboro TO obtan full hearing

mlitee Of elections,
Mr.. Chandler Of p. thought it was not competent
for the House 10 override the evidence Of the cerf
cate, that the returned member was Ineligible.
Mr.. Hcl ard deemed this whole movement entirely
unnecessary: he believed the returned member now
stood in the same relation TO tho House that he did
before the vote refusing him a seat As to the Gre
dentals-thcy moi in the possession Of the House
and could not be referred He believed the only
was for Mr.. Scott to bring up his case by memorial.
Mr.. Villas in isod upon the proprlety of this
He thought the credentials mere in the possession
Of the House, or ought to be- and could be
fcrred, However he was willing, TO save debate 10
withdraw his motions, and then move the reference
IF 'he credentials. He did withdraw his motion to
lay the motion Of reconsideration the table and the
question required, will the House reconsider the vote
Of Yesterday
Mr.. Chandler OF w. opposed the reconsideration.
He had yesterday cheerfully voted for the admission
# the gentleman from ST. Adams on primn facie evil
dence of his rights but in this case the evidence was
clearly nil the o'her wayne was clearly ineligible,
under the con tirulion and laws and proved so by
the very kind of evidence which the statute requires.
II the is further be examined il should be done
by memorial, and not by reconsideration Of the de-
cision, which the House was bound, in regard 10 The
constitution, TO make
Mr.. Villas then moved to lay on the table the mo-
ton 10 admit Mr.. Scott, whlrh agreed to- and
then, on his motion, the credentials of Mr. Scott
were referred to the committee Of elections.
