that al that was dsas could only be pro-
psrly characterized as buncombs; but the
subject matter Of the business coming be-
fore the House gave rise to so much Of that
character Of oratory. that no legislation OF
any importance was effected. First, there
was Speaker Mishels' preamble and con-
Joint resolution TO strike the word white"
out Of the Constitution Of the State. by
an amendment thereto. On . motion TO
adopt which, Mr.. Mighels made . very
pretty little speech. The effect Of the res
olution IL simply and only 70 place our

The next proposition for tho display OF

on Federal Relations, to whom the rssolu.
