MIR. HICKMAN called up the resolutions
heretofore reported by him from the commit
tee on the judiciary, declaring the dissent of
the House from the doctrine Of the special
message of the president against the resoIu-
tons authorizing the appointment OF the Co
vode committee. After some conversational
debate,
Mr. HoUsroN offered a substitute from the
minority OF the judiciary committee, declar-
ing the inquiry should have been founded on
a substantial charge by some person whose
responsibility should have been vouched Tor
that an investigation, in the absence of such
charge, would show want of respect that
the Indebtedness OF part of the resolution
under which the committee was appointed,
was liable to be perverted to partisan ends,
and, therefore, the prosecution of said inquiry
is derogatory to the dignity Of the House.
Mr.. HICKMAN refused to entertain the sub
ject.
Mr.. HoUsroN said it was understood he
should have an opportunity of Offering it.
Mr.. HICKMAN was of a different opinion,
and demanded the previous question.
Nv fH,v nh tbn al
in his refusal he should withdraw from the
committee Of the judiciary, never again to en-
ter it.
Mr. HousroN from self-convicton asked to
excused from service on that committee.
MIR. HIcKMAN's resolution was adopted--87
against 40.
