Gay night, and admitted the correctness OF
the facts set forth, and had again done SO
this morning. stating that be was unable to
make any explanation OF tHtEH.
Mr.. MATHEW moved that the further
consideration OF the report be postponed
until next Monday. He had been informed
that Colonel Crittenden had waived an eX-
animation before the Police Justice this
morning, and had not applied for bail. He
could not, therefore, present himself to act
as an officer OF the House, and there was
no necessity for suspending him. During

den had handled at least one million OF dol
lars, and he hoped that the House would
give him the benefit OF suspension Of its
Judgment. ....
