MIR. Gibson said the resolution had been orlgl
nally proposed under circumstances entirely diff
ferent from those existing to-day. he approved
OF much OF what gentlemen had sald IN support Of
1t, but he thought the ideas which his colleague
porary postponemento fhw were emnenty Judclous
he CONSIDERED that the commissioners ought to be
put beyond question as to our own harmonious
ness which had mo- YET peen quite re-establlshed.
lie presumed there were but very few persons
who would not subscribe to the sentiments which
had been expressed with regard to the President;
but If the commissioners were dispatched at the
present moment they might be placed in an en-
barrassing position in reference to local differences
however distant they might be from the objects
| lor winch they were sent to Washington. He op-
posed proceeding with the resolution at present.
MI. Abney could see no necessity for the mea-
sure Today. He wished the Senate to take the
course usual on such subjects Every legislature
had committee on federal relations, that they
might examine and give their views on all ques-
tons connected with them, and to furnish the
PRESIDENT and the Governors of the different States
with those views. The President was not going to
receae from MS reconstruction policy, If these
commissioners were not sent tohim. Itconsttutes
was sure everybody in the Senate and in the House
mad full confidence in that. He thought the Presi-
dent might consider the sending of those commits
siohers bore, rather than compliment. He
thought the true course for the legislature to pur-
sue was to proceed with its duties firmly calmly
quietly and conscientiously, under the Constitu-
tion OF The United States and the consultation OF
tne STATE regardless OF consequences. lie thought,
aithoush' the pecunlary consideration one OF great
importance.
After rev further observations, Mr.. Poche
Withdrew MS mohon TO take up the resolution, and
tne further consideration OF the question was post
poned.

maze the orcer OF the day for yesterday.
ON 'he question beng pnt, Mr.. Duvigneauds

VII was taken up. ..,.
MI. Lott explained that the bill he now offered
10 the senate was substitute for one having the
same OBJECT winch he mad introduced during the
present session. This substitute was bill which
ne mad introduced during the late extra session.
oh this substitute the Judiciary Committee had
reported unfaVQrabiy. II the Senate rejected it,
he should advocate the bill he had introduced this
session. Inc gentleman then urged the passage
oil the measure, andsupported It's constitutonality
on the grounds stated in our report of Friday last
lie lurtnef enforced MS argument IN favor OF its
conshtut'onaiity by reference to the case of
brownson vs.. Mckenzie, IN Illinois, in which the

On division, the motion was negatived by 16
TOT.
The bill was then proceeded with.
MIR. Lapeyre moved to strike out the provision
that the plaintiff should pay the cost of execution
and advertising. He urged that if the property
were sold at its full appraisement the debtor could
well afford to pay it; and if it were not, he had
his property, and could afford it.
Mr.. Lott commended that throwing this expense
would encourage the creditor to advertise the
properly without llmlt-a dozen times year
which ne would not do 1t he had to pay for it him

Mr.. Poche supported the motion on the principle
that the party cast should pay the costs, and ar
