Wlien tile house convened Fridv niiglt, says the Colnbia correspom eit of rihe News and Courier, ti Carson resolution was pending. M Hiarley moved to trike out the enae ing words of the resolution. Mr. Carson's resolution, whi( was introduced dui1ring the afternool is as follows: ''le it. resolved by the house representatives, the senate coneu ring, 'hlat a committee of six be al itMntedh, (three of whom shall be a poninteid by thle house andle three by il senate) to inilplirIe anmd rep)ort bae lie names of all members ofl tI houeise anid senate whoe are emuploy< hy thle railh-eoads in this st ale in an cnpacity their and thle' names ofa mnembersi who use eor havye free t ran Iport at ion for themniselvyes or t heir fmu iliets, cithter ini paeniiCt of serlvices othle rw ise. and t ha t thle sa id commii proc'(e'ed forthler toe imake the inivest tratin heeretiiredl.'

Mr. Hiemphmill said ho occupied peculiar position.

He it- had not expected the resolution to be ts discussed. There was no use to 'dis n. Cuss it. te Mr. Nichols said: "M. Carson, o have you any int-fornation on which y 1 to base this resolution ? Mr. t'arson: 'No, sir; I have been Is thiliking about this for several years, ,r I want to see if all the graft is in the state dispensary; that there is so muchel talk, aboult.''
