Mr.. Edmunds opposed the amendment.
There were committees which were not
provided for which, IN his opinion, were
necessary to perform the work Of the scs-
sion, lie InstanCed the Committee on
Privileges and Elections us one which
should be organized. There, was on the
table now u petition, presented blythe Sem
atOr from New Jersey, Mcpherson, said to
seriously affect the right Of the Senator
from New York TO his seat in this body,
that ought to be inquired into. Then there
was the COmmi ittee on PostoiIlces which
might have work to do. 1t was known
from public report that there had been i'm
pOrtant officers suspended for some sup
posed failure to perform their duty, and by
law It was required that such suspension
should be reported to the Senate. The
Committee on Contingent Expenses was
also necessary committee, .,,.r
Mr.. GHrIand stated that lie would modl-
iy his amendment SO as to continue the
Committees on Privileges and Elections
and Contingent Expenses. lie thought 1t
would then includeali the committees NEG
cssary to organize at this time. Garlands
amendment was rejected. Yeas %; nays,

resolution was then adopted Ayes, ";

The Standing Committees are, therefore,
