! tigation, and that it would be the
province of the house of representa-

| gentlemen who had laid the matter be-
| lore the legislature. He thought no OBJ
| lection could be made before the COM

The committee discussed the matter
| In an informal way, and decided to-
hold another meeting at 10 o'clock this
morning. 1t is the opinion of num-
| Der of the members of the committee
| that they will not hear evidence upon
the charges, but they will look into the
! question as to the facts warranting
| charges of impeachment to be formally
| prepared, and report to the house upon
| that matter. If it is decided to pre-
pare charges of Impeachment, formal
| charges to that effect will be drawn UP
| and presented to the house for action.
Then the house will examine the report
and determine whether or not an inn
| parchment shall be had and appoint
the prosecutors among their number to
conduct the trial before the state SEN
ate, which will sit as a court of inn
parchment. The evidence will be
heard by the senate, sitting as a court
Of inquiry, and the trial will be gov
erned by the ordinary rule of criminal
trials.
