Nc ToNLS moved to take IN and con,idsr tho r,cs ri
which he gave notiee IN, nrey;ous cr.,,;n tn. -,
designed addition to tho present rules of tho House
and read as follows:
The door of the House shall he kent nv tho seco,d
door-kecper, shall any person DO admitted by hin
within the Hall Of the House
Mr. Mr. TomLS said he drew up that rule at tho s,l lei
ation Of persons who we're the outsiders of that ons
not however, intending to offer Il himself Hs desire,
to state it not designed by this ruIo 20
exclude all persons from entering the hall IL
was rather intended to give one of the officers Of that
House something to Co. aud cause him to stand at the
door, and do his duty as door keeper IL will he
tent oi member time to admit such persons as
ne may thnk proper while this rule would prevent per-
sons from entering at present. whenever they pleased
without asking permission.
Mr hARrZ was opposed to the adoption of such ty.
rant rule that proposed by the gentleman from King
William Mr. Tomln) He desired that all persons in the
Commonwealth would be permitted, when they thought
proper TO enter that hall and what their Represent
'ativeS were doing
lie as anxious that his constituents would and
near ~hat ne Vas doing, aud he believed there few
members on mat noor who did not entertain similar de-
SIRE. lie Was perfectly Democratic SO far tho extension
OF so Just privilege could indicate.
NJ IoALis did not believe it was Democracy to per-
NIT all persons to enter ct pleasure within the II all, and
cause serious interruption to the business of the House
In Offering that rule he influenced by another con-
'deraton which Was the frequent Interruption caused
of necessity by the Speaker the business Of the House.
in enforcing order in the privileged seats.
Mr. BRowS, Of Stafford aud King George was in favor
OF the rule He ssw advantage their titucnts in
sending them there il they could not be heard e was
not opposed however, TO the admission of ladies their
protectors whenever they thought proper to visit there
Mr. STAPLES, of Patrick, hoped the House would not
adopt the proposed rule lie OF opinion that greater
confusion would follow Us adoption than existed as
members would be constantly annoyed by applications
iron persons anxious TO enter The effect of il would be
TO cause persons to he svarming like bees around
bers seeking through them the privilege of seats within
the Hail. II was the duty of the doorkceper enforce
order whenever IL was necessary but such expedient
proposed by the rule would rather Incl case the
confusion now complained Of than obvate it, lie moved
10 lay The rule on the table.
Mr. HANCOCK OF Charlotte. asked il was not the duty oil
the Sergeant at Arms enforce order within the Hail.
II not he should be glad to know what his duty
by proper regard to the enforcement OF the rules the
necessity OF such rule as that proposed would be entire
~ ooviated.
Mr. MAYO hoped the rule would not be adopted, and
that the motion OF the gentleman from Patrick would pre-.
vail. He was known to many peysons in the city of
Richmond and being besides the door, he you'd be
kept going from his the door from morning till eve.
nng answering applications for admission by the peo
pie of Richmond well his own constituents if that
rule was adopted. lie was, therefore, opposed to il.
The question, on the motion of Mr.. STAPLES TO lay the
rule on the table, then put and agreed to-
The question then REQUIRED nthe second rule proposed
by Mr. TeNLIS, which was as follows:
no sinding RUE OF TINS House shall be rescinded with
out one days notice being given OF the motion therefor
nor shall any rule OF this House be rescnded changed or
suspended nor order OF established by the rules
Of this House be postponed or changed except by vote
oil at least Two thirds oil the members present.
Mr.. NARTz opposed TO the edoptiou Of that rrIe
believing that designed TO oosiate considerations
bills and other propositions by the internal Improvement
party OF that House
Mr.. TAYLOR, OF Loudoun, was also opposed to it,
Mr.. ToALis advocated the rule upon the grounds that
the present condition OF the business Of the House de.
handed some restriction in regard to reconsideraons
which the House was SO frequently called upon TO grant,
Inc amount OF business TO lie transacted showed the
sity oil adopting sach rule.
The question was then put on the adoption of this rule
and rejected.
The unfinished business wa. then taken nm hs,nu n
bill to authorize loan TO the james River and K,nawha
Company for the purpose Of extending their
to Coving;on.
The bill proposes to authorize the Board of Public
Works. 70 borrow tho sum Of million i've hunired

and the sums so loaned shall be appropriated by the sd
Company, to the extension Of their Improvement TO Gov
ington.
The seeold section requires that the COMPANY. shall
pay semi annually into the Treasury of the Common
wealth. three and half per cent upon the nstament
received from the dates thereof respectively un,
