He moved to call up Senate bill No. ~,
and asked the previous question.
Mr.. SEYMOUR rose to the point of order
that the unfinished business was to suspend
the rules, the pending motion was tn post
p0ne indefinitely the suspension, and the
motion to call up bill could not be made.
The Chair ruled the motion out OF order.
Mr.. BOWMAN moved to amend the motion
to postpone indefinitely by postponing to

not oppose these bills, but felt as deeply in
terested as any one in them. Time
should lie given to consider bills approprla-

system unprecedented in the history OF
legislation he intended to discuss these
measures according to their merit or demer-
it, while he was an internal improvement
man, and believed seriously that the only

Mr.. SEYMOUR said time should be given,

desired to discuss them, he would agree not
to oppose by tactics. Further than that he
should vote for some of the bills if discussed
fairly
MIR. MALONE said the opposition to-day
was to too great haste, not to the bills, them
selves.
After considerable debate on questions of
order &C., the previous question was put, re-
