DEFERRED DEBATE.

consideration OF the cNpeolency OF
in Congress to introduce and vote Tor resolu-
tinn to cxpunge from the Journal of the Senate OF the
United States, resolution passed IN that oooy on Tie
18th March, 1884, crnsuring the President LOT lhe re-
mova Of the deposites from the Bank oi the u Slates
Mr. WArKIss said it would be perceived that he offer
ed this resolution in the form Of all inquiry 1t related
very important subject and one of the deepest lnte
the Democratic Republican party OF this Common
wealth He was aware that great difference OF opinion
existed between them and their opponents on Tins sub
ect It was therefore, that he felt DESTROYS OF moving
upon this subject with due deliberations and that SHOULD
up for final action until it had been considered
in nil It's bearings With this view il had been thought
advisable to refer the subject to Select Committee, who
if they shall deem it expedcnt, afrf full consultation
and udVice that there shall be any further proceedings
upon it, will recommend some appropriate mode for
rying that object into effect IT. the other hand, the
Committee shall consider it inexpedient TO act upon IT,,
they will spread their for that opinion before the
| House. Mr. W. considered it unnecessary to say any
thing further in submitting this resolution, which he
trusted would be referred To Il Select Committee.
Mr.. PARKER said he had solitary inquiry 10 make
of the gentleman from Goochland II would seem that
that gentleman has most ettcually within his know
ledge tho system and plans of action OF the great Demo-
cratic Republican pary. At least, such conclusion is
fairly deducbIe from his dcclaatlons for he has several
times told u.s. that this thing and that thing had been re-
solved by tina, party He would ask it it had not been
prcdctc by the party, 10 render the deliberations
Of the Committee, to which this resolution was 10
be REFEREED useless Had they not resolved, what
ever might be the decision of the committee, to-
~ the instructions in the House; Will the gentleman
from Goochand tell US: Because fit is Sol 1t has been
finally and fully settled by the party having the power
10 pass the resolution in any event. the enquiry asked
is futile and of time, aud the minority had better
'loc the mark at once. Mr.. p hoped the gentleman
from Goochand would give the House this Information,
if it in his power do While hr up, Mr.
p. would say. that that wicked jade, Rumor had set
curious stories in relation 10 ths SUBJECT enc
had said, that the party had united OIL this question:
that there is minority in the maortyihat The whole
question is predetermined, let the committee decide
which way they p!easc-and that the iact mat our 1'a
tors arc to be instructed is longer matter OF cues
tion but to lie placed among the ccrtanticS MIR. /.
wished to be understood vochng for OF this COS
sp-he the responsibility Of the whole Of il, as he
| said before upon that wicked Jade, Rum0ur
| There was another subject which he would take
this opportunity of making enquiries. Did tho
gentleman from Goochand know, and could he give any
information, OF plan OF organization adopted by 'he
leaders of his purtyo thu secrets OF that organization,
and of the time and place and circumstance under which
it was resolved upon Mr. Parker did not complain that
the Little Magician should choose to visit the ga 30

Mr. T. wished it particularly understood that he DID not
object 10 these movements; but that they had excited m

declaration if directed by the party IL was not So
He had spoken only Of the open declarations OF the po-
puur voice He had often said that the servants oi the
peope did last year disnbcy the people, But after the
rcbuke which they had received at the Spring ficc-
tons he should scarcely suppose there was man
present who would venture to dsobey the popular voice
Ipon this ground Mr. w. thought he was authorized 10

the hands Of their representatives,, without assuming 10

au,ority for what he said than mic INT attach 10 the re-
marks nf any gentleman and he assumed no more. IN
