consideration by the House Of this case, and Mr..
Carlisle OF Kentucky, promptly objected because of
the absence of Mr.. AthertOD, the Democratic mem-
Der of the committee who presented the minority
report i'll favor of Chalmers. Mr.. AthertOn's con-
venient absence was accounted Tor Oh the ground of

1nembered that the Mackcy-OCOnuOr case was re-
