the disposition to throw obstacles in the way of
legislation, he was determined to include the oppo
sition within the same inquiry proposed on yester-

young members. He asked why did they not in
clude their own friends in the inquiry, who were
equally disqualified with those attacked on his side
of the House
Mr.. T. R. Caldwell would do his duty regardless
of party feeling and hoped the resolution would pass
unanimously.
Mr.. Hall wished to know why the gentlemen in
cuded in his resolution were not included in the one
offered by Mr.. Waddell?

former statement.
Mr. Taylor was ready to submit his qualifications
to the House. and would be ready to resign his seat
if considered ineligible.

Mr.. Benbury on the committee and felt anx-
ious to do his duty impartialy. He hoped the res
olution would be made broad enough to cover an
inquiry to the movers own case, and hoped the

tiate his charge.
Mr.. Gather, of Iredell, considered the resolution
was intended to cast a slur and stigma upon him,
and was proceeding to denounce the attempt when
