Vermont Legislature.
SENATE

Friday, Nov. 4.
Mr.. Benedict moved that the proposal
of amendment to joint resolution from the
House relating to an historical painting
for the State House, adopted yesterday be
reconsidered.
Mr.. Carpenter said that as Mr.. Gard
ner, who proposed this amendment, was
not in his seat, he thought it better that
the resolution should lie until his return
IF there hai been an oversight in naming
the committee it was not the fault of the
Senate. It was g mistake to appoint the
committee on the part of the House be-
fore the same had been oonourred in by
the Senate.
Mr.. Grandey said it would first be nee.
essary to reconsider the vote adopting the
resolution. After further explanatory
remarks by Messrs. Carpenter, Heath and
Benedict, Mr. Benedict withdrew his mo
ton, and Mr.. Eddy moved to reconsider
the vote adopting the resolution.
MFR. Heath thought we Were approach
ing untenable grounds, to allow ourselves
to be Influenced by reported action of the
House save through the regular channel
Mr.. Grandey reviewed the situation
and came to the conclusion that any com
mittee now appointed, or that should be
appointed before a concurrence of both
Houses in the resolution, which had not
yet taken place, would be no committee
at all.

consider.
