Mr.. COX thought the Senate had already ia
ken all the action necessary In the premises. -
II is for the House to cay when 1t will be ready
to adjourn. It Is notorious fact that the SEN

House is, perhaps, nearly month behind

Mr.. PERRILL thought IL does not facilitate
business to FIX the date Of adjournment so long
in advance. This subject is brought up in every
Legislature, sometimes for buncombe, some
