sEEATE.
Prayer by Rev. NJ. Y. b. White, Mr..

The journal was read, when Mr.. Bur
lev moved to amend the same by In
serting a statement that he voted
AGAINST the House bill in relation to the
hin for the relief of the heirs of Stacy
LLOYD, deceased. But the Senate re-
fused, The journal was then approved.
A message from the House an
Doupced the passage of the Sd chapter
of the Cede, in relation to elections by
the people for the State, district, county
and township officers, and that It had
adopted joint resolution in relation
to the business of the present session.
The said resolution was tabled, on mo-
| tfnn of Mr.. Martin.
Mr.. Chapline moved that the said
third chapter of the Code be read the
| first time and be made the special order
for Monday. next at o'clock.
Mr.. Workman hoped the motion
would not prevail. For one he inten-
ded to vote against this motion and all
others which looked to the postpone
ment of the work of making the Code
one single hour. The people had sent
| us here to do this wor K OF the Code and
we ought not to prolong the session,
but ought to press the work as fast as
possible, for it would take us long
enough il we do the best we can. He
said this chapter had been carefully
prepared by the revisors as well as by
the Joint Committee on Revision. Be
sides the House of Delegates had given
| il a yery careful consideration, and he
| had no idea that 1t would be much
| changed by the Senate, and he thought
| Ie ought TO go to work at 1t now.
Mr.. Chapline said he did not believe
ANYTHING would be gained by pressing
the bill through in post haste. He
/ nj SanaInF6 designed
| offering amendments to the chapter, ana
| II was Of such great length that II would
raonire the careful attention OF every
membe until Monday. BY that time
| avery one could have his amendments
| in form, and in this way much less
| time would be wasted when the chapter
! should come up on Its second reading.
| He urged as another reason Tor the
| adoption of his motion, the TACT that
| six Senators are now absent, most OF
them on business of the State, ana the
/ others on account of Sickness and that
| the Chairman of the Committee on u
| dietary was among the absentees, VINO
| onpht by all means to be present when
| this chapter Is considered. MIR. Chap.
| line also said that Il was not the moat
| hasty legislation that was the besti and
| this chapter was one OF the most 1mPor-
tant in the Code and ought to be very
carefully considered.
