Routine Report.

| The House met at II o'clock pursuant to
adjournment-Speaker Fletcher in the chair.
The prayer of the chaplain, Mr.. Wright,
which seemed prompted by a special intim-
alton of the spiritual needs of the Honse, fol-
| lowed, and after roll call, the reading of the
| Journal was dispensed with IN motion of Mr.
| Denny, of Carver.
On motion OF Mr.. Hall, of Blue Earth, a
| committee of four to ascertain the mileage of
members was ordered and the following ap-
pointed: Messrs. Hall, HUM, Flom and AL
| len.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Buchanan, of
Morrison, authorizing the speaker to appoint
clerk of the enrolling committee whenever
the latter shall consider his services necessary,
| went over under notice of debate by Mr..
| Burger, of Blue Earth.
Judge Wilson, of Winona, moved that
when the house adjourn, it stand adjourned to
Tuesday afternoon next at O'Clock. Consid-
cradle opposition was manifested and several
| amendments naming different hours offered,
| when finally that of Mr.. McCracken, of Fill
more, fixing the time at o'clock Tuesday
evening was adopted.
Mr.. Baldwin, of Rice, made a motion that
| the speaker be authorized to appoint an assist
ant postmaster, but this too, went over under
notice of debate. A motion of Mr.. Book
walter, of Blue Earth, for the appointment Of
u N. DlSuOps Vi WdOdsudw, CleTk VI Guc COLL
| gressional appOrtionment committee at IS per
day, shared the same fate and was relegated to
| the shades of futurity.
An impression seems to prevail that the an
| ti-bond fellows contemplated some coup at
| the Tuesday night meeting when the leading
| friends of the payment of the dishonored Sc
| curities of the state would be absent in COM
mittee, which coup might possibly terminate
| in adjournment or something worse. Mr..
Cob TO fho nd
ton to the effect that no general business be
entertained or general legislation entered up
on at that meeting. Notice of debate being
given and the rules suspended, considerable
wrangling ensued which resulted in the adop-
ton of Mr.. Sabin's resolution.
