In senate--FrIday, Aprn I, 1884.

| In Senate--Friday, April Z, 1854.
Mr.. MASON suggested that, although this day
| was set apart for the consideration Of private
bills, it was desirable that the Senate should have
| an executive session
Mr.. STUART said that this was objection day
and no bill could pass 10 which single objection
should be made. IL was but just TO private claim
ants that such bills, al least, should be passed
| Mr.. MASON said that he would not make any
motion until one O'Clock, provided it could be un-
| derstood that at that time the Senate would go
| into executive session.
Mr.. SLIDELL said he could not consent to any
such understanding.
Mr.. MASON then moved that the Senate pro-
ceed 10 the consideration of executive business.
! Mr.. PEARCE said that for several reasons, he
| thought that the public interests would not be
promoted by having an executive session to-day.
| He therefore objected 10 the motion.
