Mr. Ewing said it time TO stop this con
4uct. There IS n tremendous responsibility res
ting upon this Legislature, and yet the PoiItIcians
in this Chamber seem disposed TO let the business
of the people go untouched and attend to political
matters alone. Some time ago the Senate passed
a resolution rea tive to this matter, and the House
took week 10 consider upon II, but it appears
now that the adjuncts IN this Chamber OF the
ma jority in the House, determined to force
election upon us Instanter. Mr.. Ewing here
gave way TO Mr.. Davis to explain. Mr.. Davis
explained by declaring that the Indiana Journal
had charged upon lhom desire TO stave off the
election, and he had introduced this resolution to
show that his party were ready, anxious, and
willing to go into n) Mr.. Ewing resumed
Three times this morning has this subject been
brought up and orr minds diverted from attention
TO the matters we have been sent here TO manage
We have been sent for from the House at ten
minutes wa,ning to attend IN the Representative
Hall TO assist them IN eiecting Senator, aud be-
this Senate does not choose to acquIesce

subject matter every five minutes. Mr.. Ewing
spoke further 10 the change IN the complc xion
Of the House within week, and raised the point
that this resolution was not III order, as the Sen
ate had previously decided upon this matter this
day. Mr.. Mo!fltt (who was temporarily occupy
ing the chairJ decided against Mr.. Ewlng's point
Of order
Mr.. Wright moved TO amend by striking out
and inserting
"Resolped, That Abner Davis il not entitled TO
his seat as n Senator upon this fl ,or, having been

Election and condemned by lis former constltu-
enis;" which he afterwards withdrew to allow the
pending resolution to be decided on its own mer-
ITS.
Mr. McGlughcv would not be forced to 90 into
the election at few mome.is notice. He and
tho party with whom he acted wore not ready for
the election. He wished not to take any unfair
advantage over his opponents and neither should
the opposition tnke any advantage over them,
but no would rather SEQ the business OF the peo-
pie done before than after shat election, for every
ono ought to know that after the election Is de
cided. there would be such an excitement, no
matter who il successful. as has never before been
witnessed at such epoch here. Mr.. Rltchey
defended the House and It's conduct IN refusing
TO 90 into an election last week and being anX
ious Tor it now, and also defended It's course 10
relation to tho contested seat. Tho Democrat:

TO postpone the election Of Senator Ill, next year
and make the issue as to who should be the Sc
