AFTERNOON SESSION.

The House of Delegates re-"ssembled at
two o'clock.
Mr.. WILSON moved that the House pro-
coed to the election of two United States
Senators, ard that the Senate be notified.
Mr.. VANCE was appointed to notify the
Senate of the adoption of the motion.
The CHAIR stated that nominations for
Q. S Senator i'll place of R. N. I. Hunter,
was now in order.
Mr.. VANCE nominated Hon. John s. Car
lie. He deemed it unnecessary for him
10 add ANYTHING, rs Mr. Carlile was we'll
known to all the members of this body.
Mr.. WEST arose. not for the purpose of
opposing the eIectiol of Hon. John S.
Garlic, but merely TO express few views
on that subject, before they proceeded
TO vote He said Mr.. Garlic was nov
member of Congress, and never before did
the exiGcncies of the country more demand
an able man in that position. Certainly
they were all ready to confer upon him
any position OF honor in their gift but 1t
had occurred to him that perhaps it would
be we'll 10 reflect n moment before they
acted. The times were critical, and II
Mr. Garlic were to be elected to the Sem
ate a vacancy in the House of Representa-
tives would have to be filled. he thought
it probable that an undisturbed election
could not be held in the district now rep
resented BIZ that gentleman. Besides, they
needed Mr.. Cariile's services rs much in
the House OF Representatives as in the
Senate of the United States, and he beiiev
ed the position was worth as much in cash.
He fci; disposed to confer upon Mr. Car
lille anything in his power tor his extra
services rendered in this mighty struggle.
He believed the position was due to him,
and had no doubt it would be awarded in
proper season, and that proper compen-
sation of the honors and emoluments of
country would be conferred upon him but
it did seem TO him that at this time it
would DE right for this body TO look
around and see whether it might not be
better for this body
A Message from the Senate announced
that that body was ready to proceed to the
election of .. 5. Senator, anu had nomi-
nnted Mr.. Ctrlic.
Mr. WEST, resuming, said it WAS, per-
haps, unnecessary for him to continue his
remarks. IL seemed to be foregone con-
clusion that Mr. Garlic was to be elected.
Nevertheless, he thought it might have
been better, to elect some other man for
this short term. aud let Mr.. Garlic serve us
in the position he is now i'll; and when
ever the proper time should come, if they
did not All lose their heads before then,
this Legislature would have the honor of
eleCting Senators again, and, no doubt, one
would be conferred upon Mr.. Garlic, and
to no one would 1t then afford greater
pleasure than to himself.
Mr. LOGAN wished'to make one sugges-
ton. He had been informed that some
other gentlemen from tie same district had
been named in connection with the Senu-
torship He desired to say that if it WAS
the Intention of their friends 10 nomi-
nate these gentlemen, be would prefer
they should he nominated to fill the va
caucy now before the House. He thought
it would be but an act ofjrstice to gentle
men who bad been named from this dis
trict. He thought they should not both
be taken from one district. He hoped if
any other nominations were to be made
from Mr.. CariIe's district, they would be
made on the present ballot to fill the place
of Hunter.
MIR. RUEPHER snid il was true it had
been his intention to name another gentle
man from that district TO fill one of the
vacancies, but he had not intended to pro-
pose him in opposition to Mr.. Garlic II
seemed to have been almost settled down
upon, that Mr.. Garlic was 20 be elected TO
that position. He thought it would not
be right that they should be called upon TO
name another gentlemaE 10 oppose him,
but if the other vacancy should come up,
he should feel it his duty to make another
nomination.
SIR LOGAN had no desire TO see another
name brought up in opposition TO air. Car
lille. and such WAS not his object in
making the suggestion. He desired to
see sume gentleman from this district
elected 10 the next position, and he did
no; want TO see nuy measures adopted that
would compromise or cmbarlss the accom-
pliahmcnt of that result-a result TO which
ne thought, In all Justice, they in this dis
| trict were entitled. There seemed TO be
but two districts TO choose from and if
the people in Mr.. Curlile's district were
Satisfied with him, he had not word TO
