log to have been issued in ifeb. looi,

A lengthy discussion arose on this

said in substance, that the Uemociatic
side of the House should bow that
magnanimity that had cnaractenseu
their actions in the passage ot tne Am
nesty and Pardon bill, and vote accord
ingly for this resolution.
Mr Welch said that this lecture from
the Senator from Beaufort came wwn
bad grace from that side of the House ;
that he thought that Governor Holden
was a member ot the League and par
doned by the Amnesty bill, as nis
oflences were committed by order of
some member or . t fficer of the League,
as sworn to by a prominent Republican.
Mr Harris renlied that the witness
referred to by the Senator from Hay
wood -was Mr Badger, and that be
(Harris) was present at the meeting
referred to, and such advice was given
to Governor Holden by Senator Pool.
On motion of Mr Worth to table the
resolution, Mr Mabson called the yeas
and pays, and the motion was lost by
15 yeas to 20 nays.
The vote then recurred on the refer
ence of the resolution to the Judiciary
committee, and pending the discussion
on this m -tien, Mr Aws called the
previous question on the passage ot the
resolution.
Mr Welch demanded the yeas and
nays.
