resolution 10 resclnd the mistaken ac.
tion by which an unnecessary clerk
had been granted TO the committee
on Mines, OF which BrattaiD waschalr.
man, and which had no business be-
fore IL aud no use for clerk. Brattan
moved the adoption OF his resolution,
but was headed OF by Moody, who
moved that action be postponed un-
tll Virtue, at whose request the clerk
had been granted and who claimed
10 need her services, should be pres.
ent. This was carried unanimously,
10 appearing that Virtue was not
present among the members OF the
house.
III Brattain succeeds In Kidding his
committee OF that clerk before the
end Of the session, he will have to get

which the House attacked the clerk
ship abuse wlther and fall by the
