Senator Armstrong; move that the COM

sent to the Senate any communication with the

The motion was put by the President and

following message:
MIR. PRESIDENT: In obedience to the order
of the House eff Representatives, we appear
before you, and in the name of the House
of Representatives, and Of the whole people of

said Sherman Page, to answer said impeach-
ment.
With this the committee passed over the order
of Impeachment, and retired, whereupon Sena-
tor Nelson offered the following, which was
adopted:
Resolaed, That committee of three Senators
be appointed by the president to wait upon the
Governor and inform him that the House OF
Representatives by committee of their BODY

taken by the Executive is required by the
constitution of the State and the exigencies Of

The president announced as such committee

Senator J. B. Gilfllan then offered the follow

House.
The Brandt endorsement resolution of w
M. Campbell stirred up the House yesterda,
morning very considerably, and at one tim
it looked as if a regular set-to was imminent
The author, Mr.. Campbell, in very earnes
and emphatic address detailed the reasons
which induced him to offer the resolution
and closed by protesting against shielding
Hall at the expense of the Brown count
member. Messrs. McDermott and Felle
replied in some very temperate and we
considered remarks: but the discussion wa
fast reaching heated and excited china
when Mr.. Morse interposed with a motio
to indefinitely postpone, which, after som
little wrangling, was put and carried. T
still further squelch the bantling, motio
to reconsider was made and voted down
The next move in the late exciting dram
was made by Mr.. Rice, which was to SEN
all papers connected with the bribery cas-
to the attorney general. To this, no op
position was made, and it is to be hoped
the ghost will never more rise to distur
the peace and good feeling of the presen
House at least.
But one matter outside of the usus
routine engaged the attention of the Hous
during the afternoon session and that wa
the report of Hon. J. P. West, the chairma
of the committee to impeach Judge Page 8
the bar of the Senate. This preliminar
move in the impeachment drama was quietl
| made, and with none of the ceremony Dor
ularly presumed to be attendant thereon.
The evening session was entirely occupie
in the passage of Senate bills, none of which
however, were of other than local interest.
The House is now evidently realizing tina
it is nearing its close, and that it has n
time to lose if it would finish up its bus
ness. Possessed with this paramount feel
ing, it shows little disposition to tolerat
| long and unnecessary speeches, and seem
only anxious to engage in real work. A fe,
days of this feeling will soon make straigt
the now rather crooked paths of business
which confront the House at every turf
With its present industry there is littl
doubt that by midnight on Thursday ne1
the tables will be cleared of business. Atssan
| rate, the House now is in fair way to rea
ize the truth of the old saw that a ssbad BIZ
ginning makes a good ending
Routine Report.
ST.. PAUL, Feb. 2s.-Mr. Campbell moved /

The question being on the adoption of NJ

ordered, and resulted as follows: yeas 81, nay

Mr.. Morse moved to indefinitely postpone
Mr.. Campbell W. NJ, regretted the dispos

endorsement to which he Yves entitled at til
hands of this House. Mr.. Branc
fhad merely undertaken to investigat
the rumors he had heard, and Wit
the intent to expose the bribery if /

printed testimony, and said he regretted til
