,.uu0ly and correctly the action of
N. .ummttcy.

NND W'S Not PROPOSED
nor offered by myself, neither do |
Enua py whom the amendment was
offered | have no recollection of
tur action Of the committee what
cycr u this matter, and can only ac
count for this want of knowledge of
mrarupn of the committee, to my
b.ug very unwrll, and having laid
down ,o rest while The C mmitte e
went ON with the work.
Mr.. smith, of Concord, has stated
number of times that he was pres

Ont; hut /, being very unwell at the
time 1- he wells knows, was resting
upon tine sofa while some one else
had charge of the committee. How
ever thj. may be, the amendment
was recommended by the committee,
and So reported the bill to the
House.
Mr. Smith of Concord, Mr. Smith
Of Stanley, and others knew that !

tor their bill. Smith, of Stanly,
SAID the hill introduced by him mot
10y rrQur,O was objectionable to
him. and muSt be amended before he
could support it (his own bilD, there
fore tine question would naturally
uIsc dl Smith, of Stanly, have
anything to do with having the bill
amended by the finance committee
II he did not want the bill changed
as recommended by the committee,
why dld he not offer such amend
meUs as ho wanted9 Why did he
have the bill
MADE A SPECIAL ORDER,
and when it was delayed and did not
come up, why did he go the Speaker
aud urge him 10 b'ing up his bill
the very bill he says he approved if
amended, the very bill the commit
Tee amended, certainly at the sug-
ge non ot some Que interested in the
OIL, 'au anybody conceive any rea
son why Mr. Smith wanted his bill
put upon its passage solely for the
purpose Of having it tabled, when it
would have died natural death on
the cal nd T.!
II there had been any honesty and
ltt,
sincerity "l purpose in his action, he
would have tried to amend the bill
SO as to make it conform to his idea
OF an assignment bull, instead of ar
ranging with Mr.. Lee, of Haywood,
Democrat, to make n motion to
'aoIe 1t, or he would have given me
"u opportunity to OFF, the substi-
,"'e winch he was in favor of and
nad agreed to.

author OF the bill introduced by
