Mr.. Mayhugh moved to recommit to the
House the concurrent resolutions relating to
the construction Of the Pacific Railroad and
Latrobe and Placerville route.
Mr.. Hawkins inquired the necessity for the
recommitment.
Mr.. Haskell said he supposed that it was
for further consideration. He favored the
recommitment. The resolutions had, in his
opinion, been referred to and reported favor
ably by an inappropriate COMMITTEE. He
thought the process these resolutions had
beer subjected to was of kind Of nip and
litter character. Mr.. Cutter had introduced
the resolutions, and, on motion made by
him, he became Chairman Of a Select Com
mittee. He thought the report was er parte
in its character. All resolutions asking for
patronage from the Federal Government
should, if properly referred, go to the Com
mittce on Federal Relations.
Mr.. Cutter opposed the motion to recon-
nit, and denied that his report on the reso-

than reports emanating from any other COM
mittee.
Mr.. Patten hoped the resolution would be
re-committed. He was opposed to select
committees anyway, when so many standing
committees were in existence.
The motion to re-commit prevailed by a
vote of 90 to 4, and the resolutions were re-
committed.
Mr.. Cutter moved to instruct that commit
tee to report on the resolutions by Saturday.
Lost.
Mr.. Rosenb,att moved to instruct the COM
