Jefferson City, Feb. 20.-[Spsciai.l The
natter over which there was such a wrangle
yesterday in the house, was taken up aud
disposed OF this morning after some cross
6ripg.
Ii was stated In the BAzoo report of yes
terdayilhal Chief Clerk Bentley had refused
| TO turn over the evidence In the Thomss
case TO the committee on printing in &C
coriance with previously adopted resolu-
ton. THIS Information the BAZoo man
Cleaned rrom Mr.. Storts, who made that
state ment Oh the floor Of the house Jester
day.
Ii now turns out hat the evidence has
never been placed In Bentley's hands, and
that the wrangle yesterday was unnecessary
TO say the least of it. The special investI-
eating committee reported some week or
ten days ago, that they had ma lie the in.
vesiigations suggested by a resolution
OF the house, had heard and prepared
the evidence. end 800 copies OF The same
| we're ordered printed for the informant cf
| the house. This was the Thymss evidence
! The printing was not done aud the matter
rested until yesterday, when the wan gle
with which the readers of the BAZOo are
acquainted took place. Iuasmuch as the
evidence ha not been prepared iCr tn
printer by the clerk of the special commit
| Zee, and Inasuuch as the matter hid never
been placed in the chief clerks bands. j,
would oe wrong to censure that officer In tn
premises. IL appears that the first repor,
OF the special committee was slightly pre
mature in recommending the printing Of
matter tn t had not been prepared for the
| printer. They, IN accordance with this
complex state Of affairs submitted
snoIher report this morning, referring tn
whole matter TO the house committee GA
printing, which was necessary, as The evil

until last night. TIL report of Il g con-
uitlee was adopted the second time.
| Mr.. Storts then offered a resolution a.
the effect hat the state PRIMER would
