would involve a difficulty between the two
houses. He hoped the resolution would be laid
upon the table, there TO rot.
During the delivery of this speech General

ham, and seemed quite uneasy under the
scathing remarks and criticisms on his resola-
ton. At the close of Judge Blnghams speech
Mr.. Farnsworth tried to get the floor to move
to lay the resolution on the table, but failed,
MIR. SChenck getting it to make speech in favor
of the resolution.
