Investigation. a resolution providing
for such committee was prepared,
but the Senate, deeming the
inquiry unnecessary in view OF
the fact that the slunder was 50 trans
parent as to work no injury to the good
name Of the gentlemen involved, de-
clincd to order the committee. The mem-
bers of the legislature, laboring It's at
least majority of them do, honestly and
conscicntiously for what they believe to
be the interests of the State, are exceed
ingly sensitive, often unduly SO, to news
paper criticism. And this leads me to
remark that correspondent ol IN"
REGISTER has recently INDUCED in som"
complaint Of Speaker Monroe that was
hardly warranted by the facts. The
Speaker is good-natured and kind
hearted man whose chief fault aS a pre-
siding officer Is found in the prcdomi-
nance of these qualities He doe, not
hold the House with as firm rein or
rule il with as rigid hand as Is some
times desirable, but when this i said,
about all the crnsurr that can justly he
attached to him has been conveyed. don !
