So the amendment was negatiyed.
The second section was then agreed To.
Mr. LABAR moved the House adjourn
The motion was not agreep 10.
The third section was read and agreed TO
as follows:
SEC. 8. That in case the said comps ny
shall at any time find it their advantage to
sell the whole of their lands, and all II cir
personal property they shall be al liberty TO
do so, which shall be- determined on by
such vote OF the stockholders, and 8, ch
sale, distribution and settlement be m;tde
as already provided by the act, to which
this is a supplement.
Dir BROWN, of Northumberland, mo red
to amend by inserting the following as an
additional section:
That he oldoee oF .osJ
shall be privately and individually liabln in
their individual capacities for all debt. to
mechanics aud laborers. to be sued for aud
recovered as provided in the twelfth, ilir-
teenth and fourteenth sections OF The &C in
cooperating the Lackawanna iron and ,oaI
company, approved April 18th, a D. 1858.
Mr.. FREELAND. | do not thank the
gentleman 70. his courtesy in offering this
amendment, although | shall not opposs it.
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. FREELAND moved TO suspend the
rules in order 10 read The bill third time.
Mr. HOPKINS, Philadelphia. lope
that the rules will no, be suspended. The
representatives from Columbia, Nonhum-
beriand and Luzerne are opposed 10 the pas
sage of the bill, and why, when their con-
stitnents are direc,Iy interested, should we
force this bill upon them without a 8 ngle
amendmenti hope that the House will
al least refuse 10 suspend The rules.
Mr.. NREELAND hope that The rule
will be suspended, and that this bill II be-
put on its passage.
Mr. HOPKINS, Philadelphia would
ask the gentleman from Dauphin TO ex plain
how it is that while this bill seems to Inter-
est the representatives from Columbia and
Northumberland, neither of those repr,sen-
tatiVes has charge OF it, and that Dat phin
must take charge of their interes..
Mr. FREELAND. The whole matter
originates in this lown The persons who
own the lands are here. Northumbe rland
has nothing 10 do with it, neither ha. Co.
Iumbia.
Mr. BROWN, Northumberland. In reply
10 the gentleman from Dauphin will say
that in the Senate, this bill was in charge
OF the Senator from Northumberland. The
bill was passep in that body, as havs re-
marked, without il being observed that it
gave tie company the right 10 mine coal.-
That being discovered, thai Senator came
10 me last evening and requested ne to
have this provision stricken out. The same
request was made by the Senator from
Schuylkill. Both of those gentlemen have
a constituency very deeply interested in the
mining of coal.
Mr. TATE, Columbia. The course of
this House, the last few hours, is ce 1ainly
ar anomoly in the history of legislatien. 1t
strikes me, as most remarkable proceed
ing that the gentleman from Dauphin ihonld
attempt to rush through this House a bill
like this, So vitality efecling The 10 ieres,s
Of Northumberland and Columbia &C unlies
regardless of the peoples remonsir RANGES
against the great ouirages which this COM
pauy doubtless intend to perpeiraie upon
