Mir ROBINSON moved 10 amend section 10
Of chapter 90 on Pilots,' SO as 10 require a
: master OF vessel 10 have pilo, TO conduct
vessel not higher than City Point instead OF
champion Roads, as in the Code. Mr.. T.
said that, except within few years, vessel
, wa. required TO take pilot TO Bermuda iun.
, dred and even TO Richmond The present
oh ape Of the law was calculated 10 break up
and destroy The pilot interest, which it was our
du,y 10 cherish and protect. New Y rk had at-
tempted 10 do away with her pilot laws, but
with serious Inconvenience To the commercial
interest MIR r. referred to the dangers OF the
] sea and TO the great relief and safety TO com
: merc. fro.a having n pilot miles from land
: Ho should be most HAPPY to have his friend
!, lrum Richmond on vessel at sea, IN Inc midst
clap his hands on fT G' arpiat t Si S9l,s"1.
less We pro,ec, the pilots, the Insurance Com
: panies will II insure commerce save at IN in
:. FURIOUS premium. There were only 1--WE pilo
boats from the cares of Virginia. and neither o.
them made more than from 81 to $500 year
while there were fifteen pilot boats gu; from
: Baltimore, which were constantly watching
We sells coming IL, and we should protcc, our
own pilots II was not fair 10 drop the pilots
when in smooth water, after having gone
through the dangers e the deep The sole
E effect OF The law was 10 benefit small steam
boat interest.
Mir MAYO should not make an argument on
the Pilot laws. He simply meant 10 state n
, fact, viz. that the law required all vessels
coming mo lie Virginia rivers 10 take pilot
into Hampion roads. Moreover, the Baltimore
plots we're prohibits by pei llties from putting
their foot on vessels hound into Virginia waters
Mr. ROBINSONS motion was lot.
Mr. DORMAN then moved the engrossment
Of the BILL and called The previous question.
Mr.. ROBINSON, who had sug csted an
amendment, which was cut Oft, said he was sa>
tisfed that he could do nothing, as the cards
were stocked upon Norfolk.
Nh. RlVE5 hoped the previous question
would mol be sustained as he wished 10 move
IN amendment for preserving IN full force the
provision in the rginia and Tennessee Rail
road Company, 10 relation 10 the States having
a majority of Directors, TO which he had before
alluded.
Mr.. HIErT wished to s.rikc out some sec.
tons on the width of wagon wheels, &C., and
The weight OF load 10 br carried on turnpike
roads, which were destructive to The farming in.
tcrests.
Mr.. CONWAY. The law has been so for
thirty years.
Mr.. GOOD3ON. Then The iaw has been
dead letter, aud he thought il should be
stricken out as useless.
Mr.. HARPER protested against the previous
question. These sections were burdensome to
he farming interest," and should not incumber
he Code.
Nr. SMITH hoped Tho previous question
would no, be s'is aimed, as he had lew amend
nen's 10 ofleF 10 the Pilot laws, embcdyng the
| law as il is.
Mr.. DORIAN would withdraw the call, il
he regarded any of the amendments as impor
tant enough 10 delay the engrossment OF The bill;
but this not being tbe case, he must adhere 10
his motion
The previous question was sustaned-54 TO
81; and Nr. r BlNSON called for the ayes
and noes, which were rot ordered The bill
was then ordered 10 be engrosssd
The question then icing on the passage Of the
bill as eugrossed, Mr. ROBINSON called for tie
r,ading of the OhOie bill.
After pause in the House, Mr. GOODSON |
hoped the House would reconsider the vote, so
10 allow the gentleman from Norfolk TO move
his amendment. He himself wished TO modify |
The road laws, so as not 10 prohibit wagons
from carving moro han 1900 weight which |
