Mr.. BUTLER. regard the rules of this Senate as in

MIR. GWIN. want to get clear of the technical OBJ
eelion which my colleague has presented He has sta
led The object had IN view precisely and, IN order TO gel
clear OF the difficulty presented by senators, will
move that this bill be laid upon the table and printed IN

396 reported by the Committee on Territories and that it
be made the special order Tor the 10th OF January next
Mr. RUSk. move, also, TO make Senate bill NO.
3oS upon the same subject the special order for that
day
Mr. GWIN have no objection to it.
Mr.. RUSK The bill referred to by the senator is a
bill for The construction of line Of telegraph to the Pa
chic There are various amendments one OF which
myself offered Several complicated questions arise from
these amendments. and ought to consider other
bills well as hatreported by the Committee Terri
tories. r-#..
Mr. GWIN The senator has stated the fact correctly
but all these questions recommitled the Commit,
tee an Territories, and they reported bill. That bill,
with some alterations, is the one which / wished to
make the special order Ii matter of Importance
what bill is made the special Order and trust that the
bill reported by the Committee Territories (No. 1860
will be made the special order for that day.
Mr. RuSk. ! hope then, that Senate bill No. 30S,
reported by the Committee on the Post Office and Post
Roads also be made the special order for that day
| Mr HUNTER will suggest that there is a prac'i-
cal difficulty in making both special orders at the
tme for only one can be made the basis OF the action
of the Senate. a.0. ...
| Mr. BORLAND concur with the senator from Vir-
glna that practical difficulty arises in undertaking TO
make several special orders for the same day; but
think can make suggestion that will perhaps obviate
the dliculty he object seems to be to bring all these
matters before the Senate, that senators may examine
all the plans and pass upon the whole subject upon The
\ 10th OF January. | think the proper way accom-
phsh that object will be to order the various bills which
have been reported upon this subject TO be printed for
the use OF the Senate, so that senator's may take them all
into consideration
\ Mr.. GWlN, (n his seat) They all printed
4 Mr. BORLAND Then, il will be sufficient 20 move TO
make one OF them the special order for that day. and the
Others can be offered as amendments or substitutes.
II Mr.. MANGUM. II seems to perfectly clear tha
the object will be attained eectualy by making any
of these bills The special order OF the day. The Others
have been printed and gentlemen can move any OF Them
as amendments or as substitutes hope, therefore, that
the senator from California will adhere his first motion
without modification. Then the whole question will
4 come up. -sa.. -.--.-
j MIR. GWlN. That was my view of it,
4 The question being taken upon the motion 10 take VI
Senate bill No 3e6, for the protection OF the emlgran,
route, and telegraph line. and for an overland mail be-
tween the Missouri nyer and the settlements n Caor
na and Oregon, 1t was agreed 10.
on motion BY Mr. GWiN. the further consideration
thereof was postponed until Monday January 10th, and
It was made the special order for that day.
