number of bills on the calendar came up o.i i
the second reading, and were referred to the
appropriate committees. A resolution to
place on the calendar all bills and resolutions
laid over from the last session was laid on
the table. A resolution that the committee
on privileges and elections inquire as to the
qualifications of any sitting member holding
a seat in the Senate was withdrawn. A resolution
that the two Houses meet in joint assembly
on Monday, December 18, 1876, for
the purpose of entering into an election for
an Associate Justice of the 8upreme Court,
was referred to the judiiciary committee.
Green (Rep.) gave notice of a resolution authorizing
the clerk to issue to members pay
certificates for $600 each and mileage, and
making those certificates receivable for taxes.
Twelve o'clock having arrived, the special
order was taken up, and the Republican senators
proceeded in a body to the House to go
into joint assembly to hear read the journals'
of the Senate and House of Representatives'
relative to the election of United States senator.
The Democratic senators declined to go.
After the declaration of the election in the
House the republican senators returned in a
body, and the Senate resumed business.
The House sent to the Senate a concurrent
resolution that the clerks of the Senate and
TTnnao hn inatriintprf fn iaaiiA nav rertifirates tn
members for salaries and mileage, and for
officers and employees, according to the
amounts allowed by law. Ordered for consideration
to-morrow.
Cocbran (Ind.) moved to take up from the
table a resolution appointing a committee of
four to inquire whether the House at the other
end of the building is a legal one, and if
not, why ? The motion was lost after a short
debate, in which the Democratic Senators
took the ground that the Supreme Court had
settled the question, and Johnson, Taft and
Swails took the opposite ground that Judge
Bond, by his recent decision, had settled that
the Supreme Court had no jurisdiction, and
that as the Senate had recognized that body
as legal, it is only necessary for the House of
Representatives to take care of itself, and
enforce the presence of absentees, &c.
The Senate then adjourned to 12 o'clock

who had joined the Constitutional House,
came in and asked if his seat was vacant
Mackey told him it would be after to-day.
Gibson then made a speech, begging pardon
for what he had done. He denounced the report
that he bad been bought as false, and
then concluded by saying that his action in
joining the Constitutional House would be
sustained, and they would see it He did not
think he bad done wrong; but he had come
badk on account of the wishes of his constituents.
Mackey said that he did not consider
that Gibson had purged himself of his
contempt, and asked him if he renounced all
connection with the Wallace House. Gibson
tried to evade this question at first, but finally
was subjected to such strong pressure that he
caved in and was taken back into the dirty
fold.
Among the bills and resolutions introduced
was a resolution to issne certificates at the ,

it $1,000. After some debate, Holland's
amendment was adopted. Andrews then
moved to cut down the contingent fund of
the House from $10,000 to $3,000, but the
crowd couldn't see the economy so near home,
and'this motion was tabled in a hurry. Aftej
some further unimportant amendments

speech, introduced the following resolution:
Resolved, That the discharge by Judge Bond,
a circuit judge of the United States, of the parties
arrested and in custody for contempt of the 8upreme
Court of this State, is an invasion of the
established law of the land and an outrage upon
the rights of each State of the American Union.
Resolved, That the Governor be requested to
unite with the House in presenting a remonstrance
and protest to the Congress of the United
States against the action of Judge Bond, and that
a committee of the members of this body be appointed
