going with the special order
Mr.. BERRlEN. was about to ask 10 have this bill
taken the other day but at the instance OF the senator
from Missouri, [Mr BEsToN,l gave way for the intro
form, upon which sprung up discussion that occupied
the whole day believe at this late hour OF the day we
could not possibly 20 with the special order think
we can dispose OF this bill in short time, and hope II
may be taken up.
Mr. FELCH have no preference in regard 10 the
bill under consideration; but if we could take It up
Monday, that can make the remarks upon II that
desire to make, have objection TO the posponement
II is rather late in the days but il the consequence
OF deerring the subject until the other is considered
would be TO pass il over indefinitely would be perhaps
better TO consider II III can be arranged that
the subject will up Monday next, have OBJ
lection.
Mr. CHASE. should be very glad if the bill which
the senator from Georgia Mr. BERRIEN] desires TO take
at this time could be postponed and for this reason
Some gentlemen from my section Of the country; who
have quite deep interest the provisions OF the bill are
DESTROYS OF making some suggestions in reference TO
amendments, and have spoken TO upon the subject
have not had the opportunity however, OF knowing what
those suggestions are rst therefore, tina, the
from Georgia will consent to waive his motion 70 take 1t
up now, and let it be taken up Tomorrow, or Monday,
! Mr. BERRIEN. have no preference in this matter
but to discharge my duty as member OF the judiciary

cannot resist the application of the senator from OHIO
who wishes time TO consider the BILL with view to offer
certain amendments which have been suggested to him.

effort more TO re, up the joint resolution in reference TO
the assgnability OF land warrants. do il upon the
ground that is important TO act upon that subject
