adjonrnment Tuesday, the I'D inst. lie afterwards
withdrew it.
Mr. DE.EArs announced that he was opposed to
an extension, 'now and forever" He thought
that the evidence OF the necessity for sucb step
should be apparent before it Is taken. All ques-
tlons oil general character had been fully dis.
cnssed. and the Senate was now ready for action
Mr.. TsIaFERRo thought an extension was necss-
sary, and was willing to extend 10 80 days.
Mr. OLD thought this was the time to extend
the session, II it was 10 be extended For several
days past business had been crowded on the Sc
nate. without giving members time to give proper
examination To bills he alluded 20 the precpi-
tate manner in which the militia bill had been
forced through the Senate, and asked u members
we're willing 10 let all important questions be treat
cd iu the same manner. lie thought the time pro-
posed by the Senator from Fairfax, (Mr. TRotAs,1
for the extension, was entirely 100 short. There
were 400 bills on the table of the TIVE Houses, to
be .,gislated upon, and many important measures,
lncluding the .oyster fundum," were to come up
for consideration. Mr.. y. then offered ~ substi
tute his resolution, offered few days siace. sx-
tending the session not more than one hundred
and twenty days from the 7th of December, 1857.
Mr.. CAMPBELL opposed Mr.. Obs substitute, on
the ground that tue longer the time gwen the less
would be the work done. lie favored MIR. TaoxAs's
amendment. ...s. .e.s.,,s.4
Mr. OLD replied that II the business was not On.
fshed by the 18th instant IL would take threeffths
OF the Legislature TO continue the session, while,
under his substitute, n majority of the members
could adJonrn at any moment that ths business Of
tue State would admit.
Mr.. WEsr favored the substitute Of sfr. otp. and
hoped q session OF the General Assembly would be

sessions. Hs+& Hsf
