Nays-Messrs. Fuller, Fisher, Towles, Clements,
Baldwin, Peters, Bohlayer, Ruff, Venable, Lloyd,
and AiLee--ll.
The question then recurring on the report and
resolution Of the Committee on Elections
Mr.. Jefferson moved to amend the resolution Of
the committee by adding the following words:
The contestants having failed TO come forward
with the necessary proof to prove their title to said
seats"
Mr.. j. made some explanations in regard to the
reasons which had induced him to offer the amend
| ment.
Mr.. Towles opposed the amendment, and also
any further delay Of action by this Board as waste
OF time, as those interested had refused the oppor-
tunity afforded them of appearing before the COM
mittee.
The Representatives, from the Fourth Ward asked
to be excused from voting on this amendment; and
they were accordingly excused.
The question was then taken by yeas and nays
on Mr.. Jeffsrson's amendment, and It was decided
In the negative, by the following vote:
YEAs-Messrs. Albert Turton, Fuller, Fisher,
Orme, Jefferson and McCutchen-7
NAYs--Messrs. Walker, Towles, Baldwin, Peters,
~,
and Pumphrey--ll.
Mr.. Orme addressed the Board, stating that he
had come here TO support the contestants in thei'
just rights; but, as he considered that the con.
mittee had discharged their duty faithfully and, as
said contestants had not appeared to support their
claims he was in favor Of the adoption Of the reso-
luton as reported by the committee.
Mr.. Fuller, one Of the Committee on Elections,
stated that he thought the parties had had time
enough to prove their claims, If they could, and
everything had been done fairly towards the con-
testants. Time enough had been granted them
and all others interested.
Mr.. Jefferson was also in favor Of the report OF
| the committee. He had come here to do impair
tal justice to those claiming seats here, but as they
had failed to attend, he could do nothing.
Mr.. Albert stated that as he had presented the
papers Of the gentlemen from the Fifth Ward
claiming seats here, it was perhaps necessary for
him TO say that he had done what he conceived to
be his duty; and, from the manner in which the
Committee on Elections had discharged their duty
in relation to the contested seats from the Fourth
Ward, the contestants, he was satisfied, might
safely rely on the action of that committee.
The question then required on the adoption OF
the report and resolution of the Committee on
Elections, and, the yeas and nays having been de-
handed thereon, it was decided as follows, (Messrs
Davis Ball, and Clements declining to vote y
