Davis f" Mason Wing
Bramble, Dem.
. The above were the prominent debat-
ers on the above question, and sufficient
amount of votes were obtained to carry
the resolution into effect.
From the array of names above dis
played, it win be perceived that the dem
'ocracy stated all right, and the Republi-
cans, as anticipated, on the off side and
nearly always wrong. Time will show
how each party is 10 be held responsible.
9t.dU- REGULAR SESSION.
1t was ascertained too, that in the ef-
fort t0regularize the special session, that
the Republicans and the opposition to the
democracy were pretty generally against
the bill, whilst the democrats were for it,
both in argument and on the record.
Much fine in heated debate was con-
sumed on this bill, and the parties ap-
peared to desire an issue, especially on
the part of the Republicans inasmuch as
they have the majority in the House. Ii
was plain. to be seen to which side a
. member would likely be found on any
party question introduced, either direct or
. indirect- f-v IA. t.a
But stubborn facts brought the thought
less to their sober thoughts, and the il
judgments dictated that the ball should b.
made good. 90 f 7 -a'
HOUSE IN sEARL.
Occasionally the House gets into deer
water for want of proper knowledge o.
the rules, and all being members of little
legislative experience, they are more de-
sirois of making a spludge than to sea
themselves at the still hour of night anc
inform their darkened inteIects in regarc
to the rules Of the House.
They appear less inclined in this wa,
than former bodies which have assemblies
here for the purpose Of enacting laws
But there is a much greater disposition
TO make speeches and lead in argumen
and eloqueuce. Although they appea
deficient in the rules, there are som
sound men in debate and many of supe
rior Judgments.
