any members holding city or county Offices

league: Mr.. Bowden, who, thinking the
blow was aimed ut him, wished the House
to understand that he did not hold any
office in the city OF Norfolk. n,.fsaTe +. :

marked that he1was the presiding Justice
of Henrico county, but was not aware that
he was thereby disqualified. 5'ga tas
Finally, the resolution was amended DO
as to make those who hold county and city
Offices ubject Of inquiry, and referred to
the appropriate committee, Maddox having
failed in an attempt to push through spe-
cial resolution Of Enquiry inregard to Lieu
| tenant-Governor Marye's disabilities.
| Mr.. Jones, Of King William, a. man of
very grim visage and Radical politics, Gre
ated good deal of merriment by very
grave resolution, inquiring, in an injured
tone, whether the members of the Republi-
can party were to be allowed to share in
the Offices to be filed in the State. As it
did not appear that any committee would
answer this inquiry satisfactorily to Mr..
Jones, his resolution was allowed to lay on
the table for the present. =
