Assembly attempted tonight to put betterligh the
action OF Clerk Bum last Friday in declaring partisa

to show that Mr. Sweet of Rensselaer, hal stated that he
had not voted for the bill; that the vote by which tho
bill passed then reeonsdered, and that then the
bill was regularly passed.

reed the attention of the members t. the printed copy
OF the journal their dess He then pointed ont that
the bull in question hal received ony 81 votes when
the fraudulent votes were included Thus the
bill actually had 50 votes when 65 were requ red
to pass 1t. Mr.. Scott insisted that the
journal should be made to declare thnt
