money was Chargeable to the other side.
He had been voting against the other
side In its efforts to ride down the con-
stitution and forbid the Speaker to obey
1t.
THE CLIMAX CAPPED.
Delegate Young (Republican), OF Up
shur, thought time should be allowed
on this most important Of all resolutions.
The previous question ought not to be
used here to cut of debate.
The previous question was ordered by
forty.one to forty.
The question was on Mr.. 0xley's reso.
luton not to read the returns for Gov.
ernor from any county which has been
attacked by Fleming or GotT.
Judge Maxwell reminded the assent
bly, that under this resolution only the
county Of Hardy remains to be read and
that gives Fleming large majority.
Senator Flournoy (Democrat), OF
Hampshire, said he was surprised TO
hear 1t intimated that the intention was
to suspend tho reading so us to give
Judge Fleming majority on the face OF
the returns, thus read. Judge Fleming
assured him that such an idea was m
insult, AS showing there was no such
intention he had prepared a resolution
for which ho would vote II the rules
were suspended. His resolution de.
clared 1t to be the unanimous opinion
OF this joint assembly that the
returns thus far read should not bo con-
struGd to give Gof or Fleming any title
to tho office OF Governor and should bO
considered as not having been read, but
referred to committee,
Resuming, Mr.. Flournoy asked who
for n moment could suspect that the read
ing OF the returns from q few counties
could be taken as deciding the election
for tho whole State. II the Republicans
do not accept this offer they will have to
close their mouths.
TIE INTELLrGENcER's OPINION.
Senator Morris (Rep.), of Ritchie, said
tie proposed resolution of Senator
FlourAoy, to great extent met his
views. He did not believe that the read.
ing hero was such publications. as never
entitled man to claim his seat. A great
newspaper In this State, the Wheeling
INTRLLIGENCER, which has great in
lluenCe, had said it was hardly worth
while TO expect Justice, because Golf's
case had already been prejudiced by this
body.
Mr.. Sprigg-Does tho Senator from
Ritchie believe that?
Mr.. Morris-No, do not, but nearly
100000 Republicans OF this State do.
Mr.. Morris, continuing said: "You
are contemplating wrong and you have
led the people Of this State to believe
that right or wrong you intend to seat

A few seconds later Senator Morris
said: ~ am Just informed that the

views, not General Colts. am glad OF
It, though that paper can influence more
people than General Golf can. II DO:
