third readings He said it was ndispensably neces
sary that the halls should be better heated as it was
impossible otherwise that the public business could
go on as it ought The judges in the Supreme Court
room had suffered so from cold that they were COM
PEELED to take seats by the firc-places The defect
! there had been remedicd by stove in which coal
! was used That room was now warm enough and
| the business went properly on.
| Mr. Steele said it would take half dozen stoves
! to warm the Senate chamber This hall would be
found different sort of place from the court room
to warm The resolution was too indefinite
Mr.. Cherry favored heating with hot air from be-
low. The plan was quite practicable; and it was
necessary something should be done.
Mr.. Pool said there was no definite plan proposed
in the resolution.
| Several Senators opposed the resolution. The
Senate had managed far and could go through the
session. The expense also was objected to.
Mr.. Humphrey said the committee on this sub
ect in the early part of the session, had suggested
two plans viz to substitute Franklin stoves for the
fire places at cost of about twenty to thirty dollars
cach-the other to place large stove in the rotun-
da below to heat all the air in the building and to
! close the outer entrances with baize doors. This
latter plan they thought practicable.

public business would more than compensate for the
outlay

A motion of Mr.. Pools, to refer the bill to the
committee on the judiciary, was reiccted-2l to It,
message was received from the House transmit
ting an engrossed resolution for the appointment Of
commission to examine the works the Chcsa-
peake and Albemarle Canal and empowering said
commission to employ the services of some compe-
tent engineer, other than that of the company, to
assist them, should they deem it necessary.
Mr.. Cherry said it the desire of the friends of
the work that it should be thoroughly examined in
connection with the enquiry into the affairs of the
company, in order that it might be seen what had
! been DONE and to meet certain charges brought
against the work. 1t would require little time, and
should be done without cost to the State or to the
members of the commission. Senators of judgment
were willing and anxious to undertake the mission
and he hoped the resolution would be concurred in,
whether they went or not
Mr.. Mcdowell as one of the committee on this
work, was absent when the resolution was adopted
and asked TO be relieved from this duty.
Mr.. Basnight supported the resolution.
Mr.. Steele would vote against it unnecessary.
Mr.. Ashe thought the commission necessary to
proper understanding of the condition of the work:
1t was an important work in which the State had
literally embarked large sums of money. If Sena-
tors could be induced to 60, he thought it would be
to the advantage of all concerned. He would like
to be of the number himself, but his public business
would not permit of it.
Mr.. Guyther thought it useless without an exam
ination of the contiguous waters.
The resolution concurred in-15 to 49,
Messrs. Ashe and Mcdonald were excused from
further service on the committee and Messrs. Dill
lard and Person appointed in their stead.
