This was universal feeling among the peo-,
pie. If the principle is good one. let it be
established; If an evil. and he believed il an
evil as fruitful as Pandora's box was Of cur
ses 10 the human race, let Us say so. He
wished 70 have the sense Of the Senate on
the subject. The entire community denoun-
ced this system Of Legislation, and he hoped
the Senate would correspond 10 the wishes
Of the people. .. .. -. Il. ...z.s :.
Mr.. Thompson was opposed tothe amend.
ment. 1t would defeat the objec, Of the
resolution. He was willing 10 divide the
money left among the railroad, but not BY an
omnibus bill. He did not understand the
resolution TO soy that if a bill was passed
Tor one locality 1t should not Be passed for
another. For instance, a bill Is passed
granting Probate Court for one county, tho
resolution would not prevent US from ex.
tending 10 other counties. But omnibus
bills for railroads he was opposed 10.
Mr.. McFerren would amend tbs th!ase
ology of his bill.
Mr.. Halliburton was 0pposed 10 the
amendment. He considered each House
was governed by IFS own rules. The Sem
ale would &C. inconsistent with its own dig
nifty to lay down any such rule. We ought
to consider every bill on lis own merit
without regard TO the source frcm which it
emnnated. He had seen letter addressed
to member Of the Legislature, saying that
he heard the Legislature had adopted rule
BY which omnibus bills would be rejected;
If so, says The letter, all the roads will stop.
but with them we can continue the roads,
He was a railroad man; had voted for al
the bills last session; but he did net think
we oueh, 10 appropriate all the money left
! by the constitutional amendment now; those
that came after US might need some; he did
not believe two-third vote necessary to
suspend the rule; it wa, simple resolu-
!ion, which might be suspended by q major
lily; he considered it highly proper for the
Senate to lay down rules for its own govern
ment. and 10 act independently; as for lie
principles contained in The resolution, he
was highly in favor Of them. and hoped they
would be adopted.
/ Mr.. Brown was opposed to lie resolu-
lion and substitute; he though! them both
unnecessary; the committee had already re-
solved III. it would entertain no bill grant
| ing aid 10 more than one road at time; If q
proposition 10 grant aid 10 more than ors
road came before the Senate he would vote
against ii; then it would be lime 10 act; now
the proposition would be out of ordsrj it
would put stop 10 debate, and therefore
he was opposed TO the resolution:
Mr.. Goodle,t moved TO lay resolution and
amendmen, on the table and called for the
ayes and nayes. s..

So the motion was lost.i .,
The question was then on Mr.. Meier!
rims amendment. liz
Mr.. Parsons saw the difficulty @e wers
about TO be involved in by our action on this
subject. The Committee had resolved il
would act on no two roads of once, unless
required 10 do SO by the Senate. BY this
amendment we invite such bills from the
House and instruct the committee TO report
on such bills. We ought 10 take such 4
course as 10 show the House that we shall
entertain DO such bills coming from any
source. II such bills do come from The
House, We oueh, 10 give them a respectful
hearing and refer them TO committee, ka
omnibus bill was already pending in the
House; many others might be expected
We should therefore, beforehand, lay DOWN
our own rules Of action, so that when such
bills come into the Senate they might be
heard respectfully and referred 10 the COM
niliee whose ceurse Of aelicn was deter.
mined upon. - y 5sl
Mr.. McF-rreh had never expected his
srhendment 10 give rise TO discussion. He
did no, design to invite Zach bills from the
House; he would ask leave 10 withdraw IL:
Leave was granted. =. l-s s7,sss- ~
Mr.. GoOdsll hoped The question would
not now be taken up. Many Senator's
were absent, and he would like TO have their
votes. He moved it be postponed until
Wednesday. He called for the aye, and
