TO THE STOCK COMMITTEE.

~ LIE SlOIh tOMMlIIEE.
There was an exchange Of compliments
between Mr.. ~Blydenburgh and Mr.. Sum
mers when the maverick veto came up for
consideration in committee of the whole,
Mr.. Weaver in the chair. The motion
that the entire matter be referred to the
stock committee prevailed after IA brief
debate. Mr.. Summers charged that tho
bill was to be held in allegiance for trading
purposes and in the hope that it might be
passed over his excellency's veto upon
some occasion when the enemies of the
measure were in n minority. The gentle
man from Carbon county rcpudiated the
allegations quite warmly, and for a time
it looked as though a hot debate would
ensue. The squat passed over and good
feeling was soon restored, but Mr.. Sum
mers still maintains that his charges arc
not groundlcss, while the opposition holds
that precedence and the proper dispatch
Of business warranted the reference OF the
bill to the stock committee.
Mr.. Summers became quite personal in
his remarks. After Mr.. Blydcnburgh
moved that the act and veto be referred
to the stock committee and set forth that
the matter required careful consideration,
Mr.. Summers arose and remarked that
there was a niger in the wood pile"
He asserted that the gentleman from
Carbon endeavored to secure delay for
the purpose OF trading with the measure
and that 1t was II notorious fact that there
had been attempts to trade in this
connection.
Mr.. Blydenburgh protested against Mr..
Summers impugning his motives. He
defed the gentleman from Uinta to prove
that he had ever made a trade in regard
to this bill. This is a very important
MEASURE he said. '"rhe veto has been
ordered printed by the house in order
that every member might be accorded an
opportunity to make up his mind, con-
sidering it with the original bill, whether
or not the governors objections were well
taken. The printed copy of the veto has
just been received here and | doubt
whether one half of the members have
read and considered the points raised IN
his excellency's message. The governor
in the last clause Of his veto suggests that
he is in favor OF the general provisions of
the act and would approve an act con
tanning the principal provisions of this
bill, amended In accordance with his
recommendations. Now, if the stock
committee agree that the governors OBJ
~iections were well taken they can report
back a bill e~mbodying his views.
The gentleman from Uinta says there is
a niger in the woodpile, Since the dis
cussion between the gentleman and my
self in the early part of the session on the
county bill he has seemed to think that
there was a Niger in every motion that
| have made In the house. Now, l will
say for the information OF the gentleman
from Uinta that | am not dealing in mig
gers, nor slave trade of any kind and |
Gm opposed to all sorts OF trading
MADE A SPECIAL ORDER.
The anxiety of those industrious ladies
who have been and still are, for that mat
ter, urging the passage of the anti-gam-
bling bill was allayed by the action of the
house in the premises yesterday. Con-
sideration Of the measure has been made
the special order of business for . o'clock
to morrow afternoon, when lively times
are expected. Both sides are loaded to
the guards with facts, figures and argu-
ments. Mothers, sisters, divines and
others friendly to the measure, with per-
haps a sprinkling of the opposition, will
fill the gallery and lobby and crowd into
