Mr.. Stuart commended that unless the bill, fol
which this is substitute, is read, the report Is
not before the Senate, and could not be legiti.
mately acted upon.
This question caused a protracted debate, in
the course Of which motions to adjourn and lay
on the table were made and voted down; but the
Senate finally adjourned before any decisive &C
ton was had.
In THE House, after we closed, the parliamer.
tary maneuvering in relation to the report Of IL G
Kansas conference committee was continued
In the course Of the debate, MIR Clingman said
his suggestion was that the matter went over
until Wednesday, with the understanding that
il should then be considered under the rules
The majority could then vote upon the bill or
postpone II.
