Mr. Snider rose to personal explanation, and

the journal, as follows:
As the report of Saturdays proceedings, in the
daily CRESCENT of this morning, states the posi-
ton of the advocates of the act defining the duties
and fixing the compensation of State Printer, and
stiles the reasons assigned by those who advo-
Gated concurrence in the Senates amendments,
ask that my reasons for voting for the previous
question may be placed upon the journals
voted for the previous question:
LIST. Because deemed the time of the legislature
too valuable at this late period in the session. to
be consumed in protracted discussion over the
amendments to this bill, when other measures of
far greater Importance were liable to be stiaed
thereby. a@.
I'd. Because this bill had BEEN as thought,
fully discussed on previous occasion, when it was
on its passage through the House.
Sd. When three advocates of the bill had ad-
dressed the House, and only one advocate of the
Senate's amendments had spoken, did not think
by voting to put the previous question, that was
Sitting the friends more than the opponents of
the bill.
4th. could not know what effect the ordering |
Of the previous question would have upon the fate
IF the bill, or whether the majority were with or
against me on its merits. 1t was reasonable to
uppose that was with the minority, as the bill
lad previously passed the House.
5th. did not think this bill was pregnant with
unh 70 |
engthy discussion, when others of vital impor-
ance were not yet acted upon.
6. There was no persistent refusal by the ma
ority to hear explanations. At the evening SEES.
ion, by unanimous consent, the operation of the
revious question was suspended, and several
Members embraced the opportunity to make such
explanations as they deemed proper, at which
me the reasons for the course had adopted were
lated, which reasons the reporter of the Crescent
as seen proper to "stfe" in his report.
These reasons are sufficient for me, and if they
g weak and futile, their publication can do the
pinions of those who differ with me no harm by
cling placed in contrast with them before the
ublic. j. A. SNYDER.
We fully approve the foregoing reasons.
