extra judicial oaths" daughter
Mr.. GOODWIN moved TO make 1t the special or
der for Tbursday next.
Mr. HOPKINS was opposed 70 making special
order of such matter at this late stage OF the ses
SION Enough, If rot too much time had aifeAiy
been used up By Buncombs and he trusted that no
more time would he wasted in this manner.
Mr.. DICKINSON had no objections n having This
resolution discussed and is consideration set down
for a specified day-he wanted slap al II himself
| But the day mentioned by the Senator from the
l.. Eraf
| DEMANDED attention. He hoped later day would be
fixed. .
Mr. CROSBY, if he could bring hi nself to believe
that the country or her iost1tobs we're IN danger,
would readily vote for granting the Senator from me
XXIXth hesring 2. notwithstanding the late state of
the session But as he felt certain thst neither the
country nor her Institutions would suffer for want OF
discussion on this resolution, were il thrown over
this session be felt compelled 70 vote accordingly
Mr. GOODWIN thought the Senate would bear
him witness that be had not a. any time obtruded
himself upon its generosity or occupied as yet, any
Of lie valuable time, nor did he propose doing so.
He held sentiments embodied in this resolution which
he would like To express. This WA all he asked.
Mr. BROOKS thought that to deny the request OF
the Senator would be equivalent to an ahront, and
hoped that il rtspect was entertained around the
circle for the principles involved in the resolution at
least proper difference would be shown 10 the Senator
/ whose course had been SO unObtrusive.
/ M GOODWIN believed that every Senator would
award him purity Of motive in proposing the reso-
posed to be characterized sc Buncombe. He held
his position State Seosor proudly ~ any Seaa-
tor could, and he would never be found marrng ITS
dignity by nything like Buncombe. Ga this resolu-
/ ton he simply desued 10 express his views and the
sentiments which he sincerely believed were enter
tanned by his constituents who had rights which it
should be bis endesvor 70 have respected here Bun
combe The term was contemplate, and he as
| claimed sny connection with il. Bupconbe His
ears had been stung for successive weeks whLe Sena-
tors in their Jealous partA anships, filed the very ar
/ with what was certainly uttered tor eject abroad,
and nothing else He did not desire 10 interfere with
the business of the Senate others were better &C
quainted with It's routine, and If It soud better pesse
the Senate he would be willing to have the oluton
set down for consideration for the first day after the
recess.
! Mr. W. CLARK would certainly vote az snst the req
oluton yet he would not characterize il as Buncombe.
The Senator wished 10 express his opinions on the
sentiment embodied in the resolution. He wanted to
address the Senate and through the Senate the peo
pie. This should not be characterized by the harsh
Term of Buncombe. lie aud other Senators had
done the same on other occasions, and, perhaps
would 10 so on this resolution. lie suggested al
afternoon session for its consideration.
After some 4" side conversation, the resolution
was made the special order for the 2lst inst at III
o'clock.
The bill 10 prohibit the Superntententsof the Bank
ing Department from receiving Bones and mortgage

DIN within which bonds aud mortgages shall BE- taken
as security Al % centshat Is 10 cents on the DOLLAR
M DICKINSON moved to amend the amendment,
by fixing it at 80 cents, thus making 70 ceots Inc
margin.
These amendments were being discussed, but be-
fore opportunity was offered for taking the disposition
of the Senate with regard 10 them,
The PRESIDENT announced the special order OF
the day, being
THE CHURCH PROPERTY BILL.
Mr. BRADFORD then took the Chair, and Mr..
HROOKS occupied the floor in advocacy Of the bill.
Mr. CROSBY had not expected to be drawn into
this argument again; but the Senator'S extraordinary
assertion that this Government of ours is essentially
a Protestant one-he believed the Senator from the
