tisn appointing the committee already IA Used to
average tho grand list of the state. Mr.. tran
dey explained that this committee had been APP
pointed by direction of the House, and in accor-
dance with all former precedents; and in allu-
sion to an intimstion that the House might wish
to supervise the REPORT of this committee, he
expressed the opinion that this committee is not
bound to report, and that the House cannot con-
troll its action. Messrs. Field, and Powers Of
w., dissented from this opinion, and opposed the
resolution, Of a method Of legslizing the acts of
the committee, which, they believed, are unjust
to some of the counties. MIR. Edmunds sup
ported the resolution as being necessary to get

made; else there may be no tax, and the wheels
of government may be stopped, until started
again by an extra session of the Legislature.

ratify an unlawful act Of the House; and Mr..
Powers Of w. suggested that oil difficulty could
be obviated by q joint resolution or act, declar-
ing that the grand list, as returned by the equal
king committees of the counties, shall be the
list for State taxes. This, said Mr. Edmunds.

fix the tax for itself As well might every town
and every individual indeed, be left to say just
what the and thus the state tax
