Stewart said that ie was not ut all afraId

Ito ( had carefully canvassed the house and he
carerul\
was satisfied that the lower branch oC the
legislature would yet consent to the expurgation -
ton or the amemlment It 10. hall expurga'i
adopted . The primary object . or the bill. he
said , was to got the ownership or the la !
(
and the water together. The huh as It had
passed the senate accomplished this object.

decare further that the senator who under-
