PERSONAL EXPLANATION.
Mr. Dittemore. I rise to a question of privilege. I have been informed that in the proceedings of the Joint Convention, last Saturday afternoon, I was represented by the Secretary as being present and not voting for directors of the Northern and Southern prisons. Such, sir, is not the case. If the record of the vote shows that it is untrue. I was not in the hall of the House of Representatives after the vote for State Librarian had taken place, at no time from that time on to the adjournment.
The Senate refused the reading of the journal in question and the matter went over.
