The last question which win before the House Ia
connection with this subject selection OF Man
Of the Trial." II suggested. informally, that
the Managers should be appointed by the Speaker but
the suggestion meets with decided opposition tho
members They not at all inclined to relrnqnsh

already preferences freely expressed IN favor Of
tain persons Judging from this expression, u the
House should keep the control Of the matter In s own
hands, there is doubt that hessrs. rlden, Prince.

be chosen. The number chosen will no. exceed niDe,
