BILLS REPORTED.
Mr.. Gray, from the Committee on Gene
raj Laws, reported bill to incorporate the
Virginia Express Company.
Mr.. McRae, from the Committee on FL
nance, reported bill to incorporate the
Real Estate Manufacturing Company OF
Danville.
This bill, on motion of Mr.. Keen, was
taken up out of its order, and he then
moved that 1t be printed. The motion was
rejected on the ground that an act of As
sembly passed February u, 1866, prohi-
bited tho publication, at the expense of the
State, of bills Of private companies.
On motion Of Mr.. Strother, the vote by
which q bill to make Halle river lawful
fence was passed on Friday was recon-
mitted, and Mr.. Strother offered substi-
tute for the bill which was passed under
a suspension Of the rules.
THE REAL ESTATE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
OF DANvILLE.
Mr.. Keen again moved that the bill to
incorporate the Real Estate Company of
Danville be taken up, with the view Of
having it printed, if there was any mode
by which the Senate could so order. He
had, since he made the first motion, seen
the law referred to, but at the same time
he had ascertained that the House Of Dele
gates had ordered that the bill to incorpo-
rate the Virginia Express Company, which
was q private bill, be printed. He thought
the Senate ought to have the privilege OF
printing its own bills, otherwise there would
be long delay, for the Senate would have
no opportunity of examining bills promptly,
as some of them might go the House, and
not be disposed of for weeks.
No plan being devised by which the
Senate could order the printing without
violation of law, the bill was laid on the
table.
