He was of the opinion that both the General and the Governor wore right. Mr. KING, of Cook, moved to print fi.OCO copies. He thought Sheridan hud done nothing farther than assist the civil authorities at the request, of the citizen*:, and that both sides bad done tbe best they could, the Governor having done his well and faithfully. A motion to table Mr. King’s amendment was lost—yeas, 23; nays. 52—tbe Democrats being generally In the affirmative. The number was fixed at lo.eoe.
