to do 90. Then Mr.. woopwAab returned 10
his seat, and made some conoiliatory re-
marks as to Mr.. Brooks having right to
appeal, and suggesting that the appeal be
entertained and decided by the House.
The Clerk stated that he had no desire
whatever to make decision that would do
violence to the feelings of any member, or
to do anything that would throw the body
into confusion, but that he was obliged to
administer the law so as to effect the prime
duty of organizing the House. He regretted
that any decision Of his should be regarded
by any gentleman as an invasion of his
personal rights, for it was not SO intended.
He appealed to the teilers to take their
places.
MIR. BROOKS, satisfied with the remarks
Of the Clerk, withdrew his appeal, but
without acquiescing in the decision. The
tellers took their places the storm which
had looked SO portontious passed away, and
all was apparently serene again.
