The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bill passed
the Senate, with amendments. TSee local
Mr.. Mallory moved a reconsideration Of the
vote, on the previous day, by which Mr. Davis,
Of Miss was excused from serving on the Com
mittee Of Thirteen. He desired the Senator to be
with them on the committee - a. -
The vote on the motion was yeas %, nays3-uo
quorum voting. -
Mr. Doolittle did not know why this mot on
should be made, since there had ben no reason
assigned on the other side Of the Chamber II the
Senator had changed his Purpose, he could have
no objection. NSF~ ~ y
Several Senators having entered The Chamber,
the motion was again put, and carried.
Mr. Davis said his reasons were not personal.
'It his conviction that as his State had taken
the subject to be under the consideration Of that
committee into her own hands, he could network
advantageously in the committee, and therefore
he declined the service. Anything that he could
properly do TO pose the differences that distract
thecountry should do with the greatest pleasure
regardless of personal sacrifice, and when Sena-
tors expressed at his declining he told them
be had only done so from sense Of his duty to
his state. He was always at the service Of the
Senate, and, having no personal feeling In the
matter il Senators desired him to accept the POSI-
ton, he should have no objection"
Mr.. Johnson, of Tenn, moved that all the mat
tiers In relation to the subject under the considera
ton Of the committee be referred to them; which
was agreed to. .... ..
The Senate then adjourned to Monday next.
