given that committee would sit at that

| resolution by Mellick that the his

ANOTHER EFFORT.
| At 1910 o'clock Johnson was called
| to the Chair He had no sooner ap-
peared in the Speakers desk than Dib-
bic offered a resolution to the effect
that Johnson of Sacramento who has
been voting for D. NJ. Burns for Sena-
tor, and Works of San Diego, who has
been voting for U. S. Grant, be added
to the special committee appointed for
the investigation of charges made
against members of the Assembly.
Johnson made a coy attempt to get
out of the Chair and back to his place
by calling some one else, but. DibDle
assured him that was unparliamentary
and that he must stay where he could
not debate the resolution. Johnson then
smilingly remarked that he should re-
fuse to entertain the motion to adopt
the resolution Speaker Wright being
on rav,ia NIL c1; ira{0 r;
place, released Johnson, entertained
and put the motion, which had been
seconded, and it was carried in short
order
But Works declined to serve. He said
that his own home was in the city-San
Diego-where his candidate for Senator
lives. Members could hardly under
stand how very warm the feeling for
Grant is in that city, and while if on
the committee he should do his whole
duty and censure where he deemed CEN
sure should CO. still he knew well that
if he had any part in censuring Grant,
his manager or any one connected with
him, he Works) could not go home to
San Diego-and he liked San Diego.
Works was excused.
RECESS.
A short recess was taken before the
Senate came in. Only one Senatorial
ballot being taken the joint session was
short one, and some little business
was done in the Assembly before ad-
journment until Monday.
INVESTIGATION BREEZES.
No sooner had the Speaker raped for
order after the Senators left the As
sembly than Johnson arose and said
ing, to accept the duties imposed upon
him by the House as a member of the
Investigation Committee but since then
he had learned that there was an agree
ment among the members voting for
Grant that not one of them would ac
cept a place on the committee. He,
| therefore, declined to serve as he be-
| lieved it was a very unfair thing for
| members to place him in such a posi-
| ton.
| Radcliff Of Santa Cruz said that he
| had voted for Grant at every ballot,
and he knew of no such agreement as
that claimed by Johnson, nor did he
know of any conference on the sub
| ject. Personally, he said, he believed
! it unfair and improper to add any new
members to the committee at this juno
ture. and had so voted on Friday. But
| as for any understanding among the
Grant men that none of them should
serve he did not believe it existed.
ANOTHER BOMB.
