A SIGNIFICANT AMEN.-The prayer for

In our Saturdays report Of the house

olution introduced BY Mr.. Flick returning
thanks for the good time had ON the rail-
road excursion. The resolution included
a recognition Of the courtesy Of the railroad
officials and rendered the thanks of the
the house to them for the opportunity
afforded the members Of the legislature for
a day Of pleasant recreation.
Nj. Brown, of the house rallied again
to-day from his disastrous defeat of
Saturday and regained q portion of the
ground lost by him. He secured . recon-
sideration of the vote BY which the Jim
river county consolidation bill was deprived
Of its unreasonable and obnoxious features
and prevailed upon the house to re.attach
those features to the bill. His amendment,
which was adopted, takes from the people
of Armstrong and Hutchinson counties the
privilege of voting upon the subject of con.
~solidation aud makes such consolidation
an arbitrary edict from Mr. Brown.
while it leaves TO the people Of
Hanson and Dawson counties the privi-
lege of expressing their desires through the
ballot box. 1t also fsstens a portion of the
debt Of Hutchinson county upon the people
of Armstrong county, while it provides
that Hanson and Dawson counties must
each pay its own Indebtedness. A small
majority Of the house has thus fastened up
on the whole house an inconsistency so
glaring that the act will meet with just
criticism wherever its effect is studied.
