croft, Bradley, Harrington Reyes, Kidder, Min
err, Robinson, and Sweat voting in the negative.

was taken up, and the question being upon a
similar amendment, ii was lost by vote of 10
to l4--Senators as before, except Mr. Foster not
voting.
The bill to incorporate the Ottauquechee mill
CO. was taken up, and Mr. Kidder offered SINH
lar amendment, and remarked that as it seemed
a change had come over the dream Of many
Senators since the subject was up the other day
for discussion, he would give room for second
change by moving to lay on the table. Mr. Mead
and Cram remarked that the Senate had surely
listened long enough to idle defamation on this
subject, and hoped the matter would be at once
! finally disposed Of Messrs Kidder and Har-
rington repealed the intimation that their sup
port of this principle rested upon anything save
the most sincere and heartfelt convictions of
truth and Justice, and expressed surprise that
certain Senators had suddenly veered their
course. Mr. Hamilton remarked that the
charge Of inconsistency came with poor grace
from political party that had yesterday voted
in one solid array against the very principle in
volved in the amendment, on the question of the
Senate's receding from its amendment to the
bill incorporating the Washington and Rutland
railroad. Mr. Kidder emphaticaly denied that
the principle was SO involved. The scene prom
lsed soon to become interesting when Mr. Har
rington inquired how the Senator himself voted
on that question, which interrogation seemed to
have the effect Of restoring all to perfect good
humor and thereupon on motion of Mr. Burton,
the Senate Adjourned.
