that this right I was entitled to and it
should have been accorded me; for,
Mr.. Chandler had not stated any def
mite time at which the examination
should close. Had he done this, and
I had failed to finish in the time, the
case would be altogether different.
Mr. Chandler a0udes to the "testi-
mony of the defeated candidate" and
would disparage my statements on
that account. But although I am, in
effect, "the defeated candidate" I have
not been raised under code of NOR
als that would prompt me to be so far
biased as to naisSate facts. I attach no
blame to Mr.. Wolfe, and wish him all
success; but, I do say, that 7 believe
that was unjustly dealt with, and
my belief is not only based upon the
facts above stated, bat it is strength
ened by Mr.. Chandler's own state
ments in several instances in his arti-
Gle and the reasonable conclusions to
be drawn therehom. I did not re-
quest Mr.. Nettles to write upon this
subject, but in talking of the examin-
alton, I made, substantially, the state
ments be refers to, and while I was
satisfied that the examination was not
fairly conducted, at that time I did
not pretend to accuse Mr.. Chandler
of wilfully doing any thing wrong,
and thought that he was perhaps un-
consciously biased in favor of his kins-
man and acquaintance jfor I have
been informed that Mr.. Chandler and
Mr.. Wolfe are related); but I am fore
ea to conclude now, from Mr.. Chand-
ler's own declaration, that he was not
the proper person to conduct that ez-
animation, and, I fear, is totally un-
suited to conduct any other. [ am
perfectly willing that my examination

Wolfe's be published also, and that

The balance of the days session was given
to the discussion of bill referring to the

business of the house, though a quorum
was present, was wholly unimportant.
On Tuesday the senate, aside from the
