Mr. Okey moved to lay the bill on the
table TO be printed. He understood that
amendments had been made to it since
he last examined its provisions, and be
did not wish to vote for the bill in the
dark.
Mr. Meredith believed that but one 4
mendment had been made TO the bill
since it was first reported. He thought
that there was no necessity for delay in
the passage ofthe bill.
Mr. Olds was in favor of the motion to
lay on the table, as an opportunity for
further examination of the bill.
Mr. Gordon hoped that there was no
disposition on the part Of members TO
embarrass the passage of the bill, or 70
delay its progress. The Oaly amends
ment made to the bill since reported WAS
that extending the time TO banks now in
existence, which are required 10 conform
to the provisions Of the bill. He hoped
that the motion TO lay on the table would
be withdrawn, and the bill permitted to
take the usual course.
Mr. Olds called for the reading of the
bill, and the clerk proceeded TO read the
same.
Mr. McNulty was in favor of taking an

Mr. Olds spoke at some length in h>
vor of laying The bill on the table,
He was not willing to vote for the bill
now, simply because it had passed the
Senate. Important amendments had
been made TO the bill since it was fCss
laid on the desks OF members. He beS
lieved he would vote for the bill, hus
wished to have time to deliberate upOn
it. He thought that a measure of the
magnitude of this bill should not be pass
ed Without due deliberatiOn and discusN
sion.
Mr.. Gordon was anxious that the bill
should pass the House in its present
not willing that the House
should spend some Two weeks in the
discussion of this bill, and load ii down
with amendments which would lead 10
its defeat in the senate. He depraca-
led any aIusiOn TO old quarrels. The
people, he believed, were in favor Of
Ibis bill. He was auIhentically advised
hat individuals heretofore engaged in
banking in the city of Cincinnati would
AXE charters under this bill. He hoped
het members would unite. Irrespective of
