Discussion In ths House.

Mr.. Thorington offered a resolution that
n ~ 10
Mr.. Thorington said his reason for offering
this resolution was to contribute his mite
towards an organization. He had proposed
Mr.. Campbell's name because he had heard
him spoken of as less Objectionable to por-
tions of the House than Mr.. Banks
Mr.. Galloway personally favored Mr.. c.,
but could not change his position till he
was assured of gen eral sentiment in Mr..
Campbelrs favor.
Mr.. Giddings said the resolution was
thrown into the House without consulting
those voting for Mr.. Banks, by whom he
would stand until he could see that he could
exchange hiss for the better. :.
Mr. Mace said the fault Of the House re-
m aned unorganized, was attributed all to
anti. Ne braskaists, who have majority, and
can elect at any time Speaker, if they
surrender their personal preferences. He
attributed the failure to organize to the
Democrats.
Messrs. Sage and Washburne, of Maine,
thought the introduction of the resolution
ill-timed and mischieyous.
Mr.. Campbell said his name was used
without his knowledge or authority.
The res olution was finally rejected by
vote of so for to $50 against.
