The at the Cemetery having been concluded
the Senate returned to their chamber.
Mr. MANGUM moved that when the Senate adjourn
Nj DAYTON moved that that, when M .he Senate sAiourn
on Monday, il be to meet on Thursday next.
The VICE PRESIDENT stated the question on the
Mr. KING. Isitin order to make that motion, after
motion 70 adjourn three daysl M
The VICE PRESIDENT. The Chair thinks it is in
OOWGr
the Senate 70 rescind il on the day when hey meet
Mr. KING. did not suppose II was In order Should
we meet on Monday. We can make shs nolion thsa.
when We meet on Monday, shall rescind and 20 TO
business, they will be deceived by IT, throw out this
suggestion YS e, ,Se ind0rmaiion % Of the Senate
We know, OF course, that the Senate rescnd it, but
l believe il is in order s. . a - s.
Mr. CLAY neither think il in order. nor, il II were
in order do think 1t would be right IL is evasion
Of the constitution manifestly papaby. The constiiu
tion authorizes an adjournment of three days and TO
make an order now TO adjourn three days. and another
order TO adjourn three days when those three days
are terminated and then % adjourn three days more,
can 90 on od tnrfum II there is obligatory force in
the order But sir II il were in order am utterly OPP
posed in this condition OF public affairs after six months
session. to adjourn one whole week-for that is the
amount OF itin order 10 take up the carpet For one.
am sure prefer this carpet to the one that is to be put
down. When the public anxiety is the highest and
most intense Pitch 10 adjourn for one whole week for
hepupose OF taking up carpet cannot be reconciled
with our duty Can we DO Il q. senators as men, when,
from one end OF the country TO the oher the eye OF every
patriot and friend OF his country is directed this spoi
Shall that country be left. and shall adjourn for
week, after six months session, in order to take up
capeti Sir, think there legal power to do il and
there were such power, do not think il would be
right
due Difference to the senator from Kentucky that II is no
evasion OF the constitution 10 seek in this manner to ac
compsh this end. II we were 10 adjourn to Mon
day next and then agree 10 adjourn 70 Thursday next
should 20 and evade the constitution in the same
way Practically then, now, we should be adjournng
for more than three days admit, sir that, il the
ton we have made just now prevails, il is within the
power Of the Senate TO reverse il on Monday but
make II with view TO meet the wishes OF the members
OF the two houses, as II has been customary do
thing OF this kind, with view TO apprize members OF
what may be the expected action. Now, sir, do not
suppose that dstressingly pressed for or
three days. in regard TO this California business and other
matters as TO prevent our adopting the usual course Ia
ken by Congress at this season OF the year For the last
eight years. IN the long session, this has always been
done The change Of the carpet is made and the room
Is fitted up little Tor the summer session. They are
doing IL as before sad in the other end Of the Capitol
and suppose they feel the obligation OF their patriotic
duties as directly as we do II is usual and customary,
and II i s TO be done, II is for the convenience OF
bers to know in advance what 10 be done There are
some lew OF us near 10 domicils that when there
are four or FIVE days interim have opportunity OF
reaching our families hope, therefore, that the motion
Mr.. KING. Mr. President, really think the course
pursued by the honorable from New Jersey INT
DAvTos1 s not ony unusual but is extremely improper
II we should determine 10 adjourn 10 Monday, and then
on Monday adjourn to Thursday, and from thai 10 some
other distant day. Il would be in substance adonrning
over more than three days, and hence you cannot
ceve il properly II senator's avail themselves. as the
honorable gentleman says, because they happen TO live
within avery short distance. OF four or FIVE days to go
homef we meet on Monday. and persons gone IN am
cpaion of the adjournment for three days more, then
there would not be quorum, and we could do nothing
but adjourn Now, is right that we should be placed
~ this situation II is unusual. ] never have known
such thing since have been In Congress, and venture
10 say that the Oldest member 10 either House OF Congress
has not known such thing until in this Congress- The
House OF Representatives determined TO adjourn TO
Thursday to meet at o'clock TO organize then, and 10
adjourn until Monday That, however did not 90 into
efeci They met and adjourned to the succeeding day
so that practically not carried II seems 10 me
that we had better adhere to the old plan, that when we
adjourn be 10 Monday next The proposition OF the
senator adjourn for two three days TO take up the
carpets Senator'S say at that time il will be completed,
and the hall rendered cool The spring has been very
cool and perhaps Il may be because am not as young
carpets at present When becomes very warm, we can
take them up with comfort TO ourselves II we are
to remain during the summer--which hops we shall
Motif get through with the busAess be fore Ne,
and then fix an early day Of adjournment. 1. with the
understanding that 10 come hack earlier than usual
