SIGN Of M Hugh n. Smith to a seat in the House
of Representatives, as delegate from Ne~Mexi'
co.
Mr. McG,UGHEY, Of the minority Of the Com
mittee. argued ia favor Of Mr. Smith. He said Mr.
Smith had been objected to because no law had
been passed by Congress under which the election
was authorized to be held. Bat the delegate from
Minnesota was admitted 10 seat without law be
ing previously passed authorsing his election. Pre-
cedenis have been established both ways, and To-
the plain reason that the admission OF States by
Congress, and the admission OF delegates By
the House, are always questions addressed u
the sound discretion Of the two bodies. Eaci
application depending much more upon us owl
circumstances and mold than upon any set
tied rule or law on the subject. Even ADMITTING
the claim of Texas Mr.. Smith may still be the del
egste wherever the boundaries may turn out TO be
New Mexico. so deeply interested in this question
should 10 hoard on shs floor IL WIS utterly I'M
possible 10 pass law in the House for Territorial
Government without the Wimot Proviso, and nc
sush proviso could pass the Senate. Gentlemen
refused representation 20 New-Mexico as Terri
tory and would most likely refuse 10 admit her
State We received her as political organization
and gurenteed the rights and privileges OF Amer
can citizens. Therefore, there is reason for admit
ting the delegate. He has been waiting here TOR
eight months which have been wasted. II he is tc
be admitted do so at once and do not delay the
question for ever. The Committee rose and the
House adjourned
