Mr.. JONES, Of Tennessee, said that during the
entire ofhis legislative services; both in the
House of Representatives ami in his own State, he
had never, directly or indirectly, intmated to the
appointing power any position he desired upon a
committee. He had acquesced in the position az.
signed him, and had endeavored to discharge tho
duties to the best Of his ability For the last six
years he had occupied position similar to the one
now assigned him on the Committee of WAYS and
Means. The labors of that committee were very
severe, and required great deal of attention from
its members, if they discharged their duties and,
thinking that he had been worn down for the lasi
two or three years, partly by his labors on that
committee, he now, being indisposed to incur the
same labor during this Congress-, threw himself
upon the indulgence ofthe House, and asked to be
excused from service upon the Committee of Ways
and Means.
No objection being made,
The SPEAKER declared the gentleman from
Tennessee excused from service upon the Commit
tee of Ways and Means
On motion, at o'clock the House adjourned.
