Mr.. CHASE suggested that inasmuch as the
resolution contemplated the publication of the pro-
ceedings of the House of Representatives well
those of the Senate, 1t would be better to put it
in the form of joint resolution.
Mr.. MANGUM said he presumed the resolu
ton would not be objectionable to the House in
it's present form, as it was rather complimentary
to that body and as the modification suggested
by the honorable Senator from Ohio, might EN-
barrass it, he hoped it would not be made.
MIR. CHASE was of opinion that it would give
greater dignity and solemnity to the proceeding
to make it a joint resolution, but he would not in
sist upon the suggestion.
+ MIR. ADAMS intmated that the resolution
might be adopted in its present form and each
body could order the number Of copies which they
respectively desired. oiss
The resolution was then agreed to.
