Resolved, That by the House Of Represent

tend TO the Opening Of the House ch
morning with prayer, snd that - dollars

Mr.. Elliott moved to suspend rules, to

Mr.. Hood opposed the resolution. He
was for that Gospel which was 10 be had
without money, and without price there
we're plenty Of men, ready 70 pray for the
House, without salary.
Mr.. Cameron offered the following sub
stitute:
Resolred, That the clergy of the city Of
Nashville be requested 70 open this House
with prayer.
Mr. Elliott said that there was a resolu-
in existsncs similar 70 the above, except
that it specified only loyal ministers. II
presumed that al the ministers wee loyal,
aolc. Nevertheless, under the rule, the
mass Of the clergy did not respond. Why
vas il?
Mr.. Cameron didn't like the criticism
made by Rev. DR.. Al en- on the sloyalty
of the clergy Of Nashville. 1t was in bad
taste, he thought, 70 Judge his fellow minis
tiers. He objected TO calling the clergy Of
this city disloyal. He didn't care who the
minister was who opened the House with
pra, er, SO he was & real clergyman.
Mr.. Mullins favored a fair payment TO o
| chaplain. In refe ence 10 10 alty, he
| thought there had been about $50, 600 con-
verts since the surrender Of Gen. Lee but
whether real Y repentsnt, was only known
/ to themselves but il they did not repent Of
/ rebellion they would certainly 60 to -, or
there is no use Of such a place.
Mr.. Steele eontendei that money could
not be appropriated to paw chaplain, by
| simple resolution. He doubted il the office
Of chaplain was provided for By the eOnsii-
| tuition Of the State. No one has ever been
elected 10 that office in the State.
Mr.. Waters, Of Madison, thought IN at
| preechers ought TO be paid rs well as anv
/ one else. He would have none but loval
/ mini.ter 10 oped the House with PRAYER.
/ He preferred the election Of chaplain. who
/ had taken no part IN the rebellion, and was
/ for paying him liberal price. When it
was desa-a Die to test the LOYALTY Of minis
| tiers, tcords must not always be taken their
| acts must be scanned Il would be hard to
find a preacher who would say that he is
disloyal ct this stage Of the game. Laughter. ]
Mr.. Elliott novel % strike out the portion
! Of his resolution which provided for the
| payment hf per diem 10 the chaplain.
