 The report of the Comptroller was sub mitted by MT. Booth, of Danbury, and re- ferred
 The joint resolution requiring the two houses to meet in joint convention Wednes- day at 12 for election of 8 United States | Senator came back indefinitely postponed MT. Harrison held that it was necessary that such resolution should be passed, and re- gretted the action of the Senate. He sup posed case where the two houses might be in political antagonism. Then he held that one branch might refuse to vote and so de- feat the election. In the State of Massachu- setts similar resolutions had been passed. | The caution was proper one. Besides in his opinion it was simply conforming to the United States statutes governing the election of Senator's In former years the passage of such a resolution was customary, and it was going back to the rules of the fathers. It was too late to ask for committee of con- ference and he would move that the House adhere.
 Mr. Mitchell held different view, main taining that under the law the two houses meet members of the Legislature, and not in joint convention of the two branches. He felt that the action of the Senate should be in. For several Senatorial cleo tions in the State the two houses have met without the passage of such resolution as the one that had been rejected.
 The motion of Mir. Harrison to adjourn was lost, 62 to 1O1.
 On motion of MT. Seymour, of Litchfeld, the House reconsidered and concurred with the Senate.
 At l:45 the House adjourned till 10:3O a. m. Wednesday.
