U. s. SENATORIAL ELECTION.
The consideration ofthe Senate's resolution TO 90
into the election of a U. Senator on Tuesday. the
9th inst, now resumed in the order of untin-
ished business.
Mr. R0WLES proposed to amend the resolution by
inserting clause fixing the time of the election at
II o'clock on said day, which was adopted He
then gave his views very briefly of the Constitution
al provisions bearing the case, and rendered the
utmost latitude Of debate the other side of the
House, with statement of his desire to come to the
vote
Mr. BEALE moved to postpone and make the sub
ject the special order for Monday next He desired
an opportunity TO reply TO his colleague .Mr Thomp-
son. who was absent, by way Of personal e1plana-
ton.
Mr. ROWLES demandedthe previous question, but
withdrew the demand for
Mr. RICHARDSON, who proposed to amend bv
prefxing the following:
"WHEREAs, THERE'S no constitutional prohibition
to the election of Senator succeed the Hon. John
Bell, from the 4th OF March, 1857, and, whereas a
vacancy will occur before the regular session of
another General Assembly, therefore"
After further debate, by way of conversation a.
cross the House, principally between Mr. Beale Mr.
Rowles and Mr. Richardson
Mr. R0WLES renewed the demand for the previ-
man desired to address the House; whereupon
Mr. RICHARDSON demanded the yeas and naYs
hoping that the House would not agree to a notion
the effect of which would be to cut off his amend
ment He would appeal to the gentleman to with
draw the demand for the previous question
Mr. ROWLES. 1t would crafty me very much to
accommodate the gentleman, but know the end he
has in view, and is not a very soft one to me.

Mr. WILSON, when his name was called, explain /
ed, that it his practice rarely to vote sustain
the previous question, but he should do so in this
ease for the that invitation Ind been made
from our side to any gentleman desiring to
the discussion, and right in the face of that there
was motion to postpone to a day certain. He had
also another for sustaining this demand but
did not feel at liberty then to state it.
So the main question ordered.
Mr. WHITE, Of Knox, moved to reconsider the
vote thus taken.

table
