Terry stated, by request OF Mr..
Beck, that he desired to make an
explanation in regard to the report
made here on Saturday in reply to
the resolution offered by Mr.. Hale.
The books presented here, 81 VOL
umes, were filled with articles of
interpretations containing all the
information asked by the resolu-
tion; that of these the 500 articles
yet remaIuing in the office are not
entered up from want of time and
that to have condensed the infor-
nation would have occupied all
the time of the clerical force of his
office for three months. He pre-.
sented the books to show the utter
impossibility of complying with
the requst of the Convention.
Larkin asked that this subject
stand over until Hale is In his seat;
he (Larkin) considered that Beck
had shown want of respect to the
Convention. The subject was then
dropped. .and the Convention ad-
juurned.
