Manassas Gap railroad" i'll the act passed
on yesterday amending the charter OF the

The SPEAKER called the attention Of the
House to the irregularity of this mode OF
amending an act.
Mr.. RAGSDALE stated that the words
were omitted by the clerk of the commit
tee, and not afterwards detected.
Mr.. Y. TURNER explained that since the
bill was framed, the name of the Orange
and Alexandria railroad had been changed
to the "Orange and Alexandria and Ma
naSsas Gap rairoad,' and it had been con-
sidered necessary that it should SO appear
in the bill. He did not think it was.

being read, was explained by Mr.. GRAY.
1t requires the banks TO receive their own
notes in payment of debts due them.
Mr.. Z. TURNER thought the question
was one of purely legal character, with
which the Legislature had nothing to do.
Assignments had been made Of the pro-
perty of the banks, and it would be a dan
gerous precedent to pass this bill.
The question was further discussed by
Messrs. TURNER, GRAY, GRAHAM, and
CRrNp. All the gentlemen agreed that
where assignments had been made, the
banks making them could not be compelled
to receive their notes in payment OF obi
cations due them.
The bill was then dismissed, on motion of
Mr.. L. TURNER-ayes, 90 noes, "a.
