particular cas-.
Mr.. Morris said tina, his friend from Henrico knsw
that he lMr ND was not disposed to overthrow fixed
usages for individual In this Instance no
mad made this motion Ia compliance with the rcqu st Of
one Of the gentlemen interested in the election r.,
should think as general rule that II would be better
to leave to the SberFthe fixing the day. Blu, he sup
the request that the day might be fixed by tho Eouso,
and II So the House have the power TO decide the
time at which the election should be held.
Mr. brodnax observed that the Commissioners bad
the power to hold every election that took place within
the year Besides, that the Sheriff had the power in
case OF there being no Commissioners to appoint them
AZ the time oil the election. The suggestion the
oil the gentleman from Henrco that court dsy should
be included, was unnecessary.
Mr.. Moore, in order TO prevent a protrac,ea ,;sc,.
sion' moved TO lay the resolution the table.
Mr.. Davis said that he had suggested TO the chair,
man Of the Committee of Privileges ard Elections Tho
motion now before the House He cared not on what
Gay Of the week the election happened; but no wish
ca suincent me so that II might be In the power
OF the Sheriff Of the county 10 do him injustice Sc

The question then put ON the motion n lao ~,

Mr. Terrill moved that the blank in the resolution ta
hiied with '29ih day Of December"
Mr.. Witcher doubted whether that dav would siya
time enough to the parties. He moved to fill the blank
with the FIRST Wednesday in Janury"
Mr.. Terrl objected that the election ought tn tsta
place within the present year, but the justified
vo ers OF the present ought to be allowed 10 yo,e

c,Ied In, 10 a"i.t in settling This con,es, But
II the election were fixed any day in the next
year, new class Of voters would undoubtedly be ad
United to the polls, and man would be entitled tox
vote, who should have paid one solitary cent of tsxes
on par with those who had paid thirty cents For
such the law. Now what was the necessi,v ot =.
much time as the gentlem demanded? As TO infor
matlon being spread In the county-who could doubt in
when the rapid means Of conveying intelIjgenc.
through the county, which the presen, period afforded
were co sidered. no one could doubt that tho informa
