lie was simply acting for himself and he

Of this committee, = There had
been 10 committee In the case
of either Judge Kennedy or Judge
Hiudman. Tho House had acted direct
" and given the notice at once without
referring the charges to a committee.
Mr.. FLICK, without expressing any optn-
ion OIL the case, thought the resolution
ought to he passed and the notice be given.
MI. STUR0IBs thought In order that the
House might act understandingly on
charges which cover great deal Of mat
ter, The report ought to be printed. A
large minority of the committee, he said,
thought the charges insufficient! He pro-
tested against such. lot haste TO- push
these charges through without opportuni.
ty for examination. Mr.. CRACRAFT re-
Teatel that the delay was unnec essary and
would defeat the prosecution. Mr.. DAVIS
thought tho only object Of Mr.. CARPEN-
TER's motion wGs to delay and defeat the
trial. He thought this report Of the COM
mittee showed that the charges were
deemed sufficiently important to require
investigation, and, therefore, there should
be no delay. Mr.. BAKER thought the re-
port ought 10 be printed that members
might know exactly what the charges are.
