Mr. LoSNS offered the following which
was adopted.
Resolred, That the SergeNnt'nt-Nrrns be
instructed to procure copy of the Ct'le of
virginia for the use of this body.
MIR. WILSON offered the following:
Resolved. By tho General Assembly OF
Virginia, that the Treasurer of this Com
monwealth he instructed TO demnnl aud
receive of the Government of the United
States. the sum of SAL $3.50. which, by nm
act of Congress approved Ash Sept. 1874 J..
is the sum arising to Virginia from the
sales Of tile public lOmNiM.
Mr.. Moss wished to inquire where that
money is. He believed it had been placed
in one OF the banks of the State to the
credit of the Commonwealth.
Mr.. WILSON believed ;aa State had new
er accepted her portion Of his fund. lie
thought it hid never been placed in any
bank of the State.
I Mc. SMITH, of Marion. remembered dis
Ltinctiv of the Richmond EnYHirtr, some
years ago, denying, in na unqualified man
ner, that single dollar arising from the
/ sale OF the public domain, had ever been
| placed in II hank in Richmond, to the cred
! il of the United States. He was aware that
F.! it had been affirmed TINT the S45. 900 had
been so deposited, but the Enquirer had
nnnmhlitiedly denied it, lie thought it
would be best ia ascertain where this
money now is before passing such n reso-
| luton. lie moved that the resolution lie
on the table.
! Mr. WEST would just say hefure the
| question was taken tbtt this subject Ind
IA'-ee,5 a matter % iegisiuti6E for n ngnSer
! of Senrs-he believed since the yesS 1912.
| As often us this question had been eUusid-
! cred the Legislature bad deferred itand re-
| fused to receive the money. However
Z
| made such IL one himself, to vote for the
| States receiving that money upon the cOm-
ditiou that it should beappropriated to the
| literary fund for the education of poor
! children. On that principle and no other
| he was always prepared to receive it. Bmt
! in relation TO tho remarks'of thegenlleman
( from Marion, he had never heard it coutrA-
dictei that the money was deposited in one
OF the bnnks of Virginia. He presumed it
was the ease.
! The motion was adopted, and the reso-
| luton ordered to lie over for one day.
| Mr.. Moss moved that the resolution
adopted on Wednesday, by which the
House resolved 70 postpone the election of
| U. s. Senators until Tuesday next, lie re-
considered.
| He thought it important TO know wheth
er the legislative department of the gov.
erument of the United States would recog-
nize this State government. The election
of Senator's was the only mole by which
that could be nscerttined. If that motion
| should prevail, he would then move to go
! into the election of one Senator at this
| time.
| Mr. LOGAN: must oppose the motion.
| If we elect one senator do not SEQ why we
should not elect two. We are inst as we'll
| prepare to elect two ns one; aud am nm
willing that this business shall be done by
piece-mel, would, however, prefer very
much that the election should be deferred
until Tuesday do not see any more
force in the remarks of the gentleman from
! Wood, in reference to the recognition of
this State government to-day than he did
in mine two days ago. He then
was satisfied that the recognition this gov
i,ernment had already received WAS sufti-
I,cient for our present purposes, and that
/ there was no such hhsta M some gentle
men seemed to think for tue recognition
