The Speaker shall examine and correct the journal before it be read; he shall have a general direction of the hall; he shall have a right to name any member to perform the duties of the Chair, but such substitution shall not extend beyond an adjournment. 6. All committees shall be appointed by the Speaker, unless otherwise specially directed by the Senate; in which case they shall be appointed by ballot; and if upon such ballot, the number required shall not be elected by a majority of the votes given, the Senate shall proceed to a second ballot; in which a plurality of votes shall prevail; and in case a greater number than is required to compose or complete a committee shall have an equal number of votes, the Senate shall proceed to a further ballot or ballots. 7. In case of any disturbance or disorderly conduct in the lobby, the Speaker (or Chairman of the Committee of the Senate) shall have power to order the same to be cleared. Of Decorum and Debate. 8.
