ToLLEsG RhnRoADs-RIsAEKADLE PROCEEDINGS n
THE szSATE.
TIE President Of the Senate announced the Confer
ence Ccrmitee on the Railroad Toll bill this morning.
as foIlOws' Messrs. P. 2. Murphy, Grant, aud
TIunsD.
Mr. Hanrcnd moved to reconsider the vote of yes.
terday ordering Committee Of Conference, with
view to the appointment by tie Senate of the Pro
Rata Conmitses Ne a Committest to confer with such
Committee as may be appointed by the Asse nbly.
The Chair wss in doubt whether the motion was in
crder bnt would entertain 1t.
Dir. Lawrence moved to discharge the Committee
from the farther consideration OF the subject.
Ramsey regretted exceedingly that gentlemen felt
the nselyes called upon 10 take euca an extraord-
paTy eouffe as had been taken this morning. Wha'
WIS u that caused 10 much excite nens} IL was an
affair Of ordinary occurrence. The Assembly had sent
mp toll bill 10 the Senate. 1t was bill on the prn-
ciple OF which majority Of THE Senate agreed Fais
bill was amended by ths Senate and sent back to tue
Assembly where the Amendments were non-concNred
in Ii came back here and the Senate refused 70 re-
cede. According to parliamentary usage COMMITTEES
Of Conference was moved and appointed The Ccca-
NIT fsr one and the action proposed Uas GER
lanly reflection upon tie presiding officer o. tine
Senate, "a well as the meEIbers Of the Comzree he
had appointed
Mr. Co.'s hoped the question would not be taken tin
every Senator who desired TO speak had had an cPpor
tunity TO DO so. This was Revolutionary movement.
IL was proposition TO cast personal reflection upon
thsChar-this was the inevitable tendency and result
of the proposition before the-Senste. IL the ijorty
had in the fret instance movedtha the Senate appein
lie Committee by ballot or other wise, it would not
have been bad; but after having authorized tue
Chair to appoint tie Committee 10 turn round aud re-
verse the deeision was entirely unprecedented, unpar-
lismentary, and outrageous
Mr. Truman had no desire 10 serve on the Commit
tee nor had he any objection to its being discharged
but lie desired it 10 be done int deceit, parliamentary
uaIper. 1t not in order 70 reconsider vote au-
thoTzing the appointment OF a Committee after the
Committee authorized had actually been appointed,
any more than il would he IN order TO reconsider
vote the final passage OF bill after it had passed
from the hands Of the Senate aud been sent to the Ms
senbiy. He therefore appeRed from the decision OF
the Chair.
Mr. Sessions commended lhst the action proposed
entirely parliamentary and proper that the Committee
did moi reflect the sentiments OF majority oil the ssn-
ate the subject and therefore proper that The
Senate take the mailer into its own hands
MIR. Ramsey spoke at length and foraibly against the
action proposed.
AT moved that the Committee be discharged from the
further consideration OF the subject.
Mr.. Spnola said il was by no means uneommoRJor
delibeIative body to appoint its own Committees,
and referred TO proceedings while MI Church was
Lieut.. Governor.
Mr. Ramsey sad it was not uncommon Tor logls-
latiye body 10 appoint their own Com nees when the
presiding officer was not member OF the g0htica4 ma
iority of such body; bat when the presiding Officer
was of the dominant party such course was OF
and continued think do not put the lse too orong
when say that throughout this State the action pro-
posed will lie regarded az 0u imputaon upon the pre-
siding officer of this bcdy and Of the Committee APP
pointed by him. This simply Proposition TO
condemn unheaId. There was no charge against the
Committee but merely OH the supp cson thai they
might not make report favOraby 70 the majority OF
THE Senate; they 90 be removed and disgractd
There wss no necessity for putting this graultous IL
gnity uToD the Committee. II their report shouId
not be such as msjoyity OF the Senate nnght approve
they could reject Il, and then call Tor t1s appointments
| ofanotbsr Committee.
Mr. Prosser raised tie point Of oTder that As the
! Conference Committee, az now appointed, has been
appointed in pursuance OF the Joint rules over When
tie Senate has No control without the consent of the
| Assembly until the Committee sbal have performed
their nission hence II is not ROW in order TO recon
slider the authorizing the appointment or dischars
| ing OF the COMMITTEE.
| Ibe Pfesident ruled the point not well taken.
MI Warner moved for division Of tue subject, 20
| ar 70 take tire vote each Senator separately.
Mr.. Spnola opposed, the ground that the object
was evil one ana de6gnsd to create dissenilon And
| III feeling
Mr.. Warner said that tie object was to see whether
the Senate would permit one man to remain on the
| Committee who wac ia favor of the HOUSE bill.
| There was but one such the Committee, and lac
de Sred to whether the Senate would exelnde him
