spoke at length in advocacy Of making

RESOLUTIONS.
By Mr.. Caldwell.
Resolved, That the Committee on Cap
itol Building are hereby instructed to have
the rooms occupied by Supreme Court and
the clerk thereof, and the halls leading to
and adjacent thereto, cleaned.
Mr.. Caldwell thought it would be the
proper thing to adopt this resolution.
Mr.. Hearne was not sure that it was
good thing. The city had given the State a
new building, and if any gentleman would
90 down and look at the condition OF the
house they would come to the conclusion
that the city was under no further obliga-
tons. The best thing the State ever did was
to get out of the building.
Mr.. Stanley wanted to know by what
authority the Supreme Court occupied the
com.
1t was explained to him that the court
was there by the courtesy of the city only.
Messrs. Hearne and Caldwell again spoke
against and for the resolutions, after which
Mr. Stanley stated emphaticslly that, taking
into consideration the shabby manner in
which the State had treated the city, he was
utterly opposed to granting the State any
courtesies whatever.
Finally Mr.. Hsrrel moved to lay on the
table, and the motion prevailed: Ayes l3,
nays s, as follows: Ayes-Messrs. Butts,
Clator, Gilleland, Harrel, Hearne, Healy,
Jones, Miller, Mccoy, Scott, Stanley, Smith
