THE GOVERNOR AND LT. GOVERNOR ELECT.
The House resolution, appointing a Committee to wait on the Governor and Lieutenant Governor to ascertain at what time it would suit their convenience to receive their oath of office, being read-
Mr. WAGNER. I think the House is actting premature, and my object in rising is to move to lay the message and resolution on the table. his Senate has no legal knowledge that this is the fact, and until we have the knowledge, I am not in favor of passing the resolution. It may or may not be so. The probabilities are it is so. The law provides I that we shall go into the Hall of the House to ascertain whether it is so or not. It is a perfect farce to go and count the votes after we shall have resolved that it is so. I move to lay the resolution on the table.
The motion, was agreed to.
