: business of the House. and thus to hasten the da
II of adjournment, thereby relieving some member
e from the necessity of passing the Sabbath on tn
road; and supported by MessrsSmth g. Bradey,ft
: the reason that there no prospect Of the Hous
being able to adjourn before Friday, and that
would be safer to accept and hold on to the propt
sition already made than to submit the matter to il
reconsideration

n motion. AS one of the Joint committee that rec
commended the resolution he had come to the col

oluton lie.
