Mr.. SWEET presented report of the COM
mittee on Privileges and Elections in the
case of Senator Love, from the 43d District,
that the committee could find no evidence
that Mr. Love, was banned, and requesting
to be discharged from further consideration
Vi .Gnc CASE. 1HC lCpOe was
Mr.. JONES would like to know when the
report of the committee to investigate fraud
and corruption would be made. He had
been waiting patiently for several days to
hear some report made by the committee,
and none had been made. He did not, it
was true, consider the charges as of much
importance, but as Senator, a member OF
the committee, had said he could prove that
bribery and corruption had been committed
by members of the General Assembly, he
thought it due the Senate that some report
should be made before the recess was taken
that we might tell our constituents what
had been done when we got home. He con-
sidered thus much due the honor of the
Senate
Mr.. SWEET, as member of the Commit
tee would say that report would be made
at the earliest possible moment. These
charges would be sustained and, notwith-
standing the power of the Senate branch,
ofthe Committee had been greatly impaired
by the action of the House branch, it would
thoroughly sift aud probe all fraudulent
transactions.
On motion of Mr.. BEAsLEY, the Senate
adjourned.
