Hutson and Mr., Smith can again sit on
the same limb in committee and MARBLE
/ In sweet accord
In the House, Mr.. Hutson arose and
said that he had heard indirectly that
Mr. Smith felt hurt at not being called

sioners bill If so, he wished to assure
Mr.. Smith that no slight was intended
| III he really entertained the idea that
such was the case. he begged his pardon,
aud was willing 30 make all PREPARATION
posi- BILE. Mr. Smith could not do any
hing but accept such manly statement,
and he did it with the best grace
possible.
But now there is another bubble
This Is on the same subj ect
IL will be remembered thai the bill
was a very long one. To save the trouble
Of reading It twice bv the enrolling com
mittees It was jointly examined Mr..
Houston (Dem } examined II on the part
Of the Senate, and Mr. Thomas (Rep.)

Speaker Donahos Clerk Hearn took 1t
over TO the House. 1t was duly handed
to Clerk Dunn
Now. Mr. Smith says it wss never re
ported by the House Committee on En
rollm snt as correctly enrolled. The
clerk Journal carries him out in this
assertion lt does not show that the bill
vas ever reported by the House com
mittee. 1t seems to have gone direct
from the clerks to tho speakers desk
The following facts are patent: The
bill passed both houses; II was correctly
enrolled. examined by the committees Of
both houses endorsed as correct by one
Republican and one Democrat acting ln
official capacity; 1t was signed by both
speakers. and is now In the office OF tho
secretary Of state.
Mr. Smith would like TO attribute the
non-report of the House Committee on
Enrolment to sinister motives He said
this evening that he believed the bin was
purposely taken direct from the clerk =
table to the speakers desk That is not
regarded as very plausible 10 the frst
place the time consumed la reporting IL
would be very slight, indeed the com
mlttee could not smother to. The most
radical Republican will concede that the
bill was net IN danger OF being reconsid :

simple. That is all there Is 20 II. II IL
