with an attorney to conduct their cases. The
names of Dewoody and Pierce, members OF
the house, have been mentioned in connec-
ton with the case. Rich developments may
be looked for tomorrow.
As an Offset to Mark Wards bribery resolu-
ion introduced recently into the house., the OBJ
,osite party introduced another in the council,
through MISSIONER, which reads as follows:
Resolved, That a committee Of five be APP
lointed by the chair 70 investigate charges 0f
corruption and attempted corruption OF mem
iers OF this legislative assembly. and the offer
II brides by Alex Mckenzie, A. w. Edwards, Il.
J. Johnson and W.. +. Steele, for the purpose of
influencing votes upon the question OF the re-
noval OF the capitol, now pending before the
legislature, and that said committee be in
itructed TO proceed ut the earliest possible mo-
nent to take action in regard to such charges
md to procure witnesses and take testimony,
md that they report their action and findings
With all convenient speed.
After presenting the resolution Wes.over
poke excitedly for some ten minutes, claim
ng that definite knowledge had come to him
hat the gentlemen named had made corrupt
)ffers to certain members, and that the same
.ould be proved Nickets objected TO the
Insertion of Steele's name, as that gentleman
s a member of the house, and that one
house had no right to investigate the action
VI o member of the other. Pettigrew spoke
or several minutes in support of the motion,
aking the ground that the council had a
perfect right TO call Steele as q pri-
rate citizen before it's committee. The
notion passed, and Westover, Gamble,
5amoure, Twomey and Farmer were
appointed a committee of investigation.
IN THE HousE
his morning the northern members made
IN attempt at delay on capital removal by
moving that the clerk be ordered not to
transmit the bill passed yesterday until or
Tered by q majority vote of the house. This
salled out hot words from the friends of the
Mll, and for nearly an hour the usual
vrangle occurred, but the motion was finally
ost, by a vote % to %, the same as that
If yesterday on final passage; conse-
luertly the bill was transmitted to the
,oulcil this afternoon, where it was given q
econd and third reading and referred to the
peciaI committee who have had charge OF q
imilar council bill for the past six weeks.
After disposing of the capital removal bill
he house settled doUA 20 susus--- -~s. passed
) large number of bills, among which were
Smedley's railroad bin, CANDLES bill provid-
ng for the organization Of new counties, and
Nashabaugh's bill calling a constitutional con-
Fention at Sioux FalD in September.
These bills wiz doubtless receive the
governors approval. The railroad bill calls
or the appointment of three commissioners
me each from North, Central and South Da-
Iota. 1t is generally conceded that the Cen
raj Dakota appointment will be rendered
Jol. Smeadly, who 10 the father OF the bill
