had favored an carly auJOurDuieht, III oruci thae
there might ensue state OF chaos and confusion;
and he felt somewhat surprised at the disposition
manifested by some of the Republicans to BIND
the General Assembly to adjourn ut so soon
time as the 10th of August, which would be the
case If the words eff practicable" were stricken
out.
Mr.. Bowman did not know that it was party
question at ALL The interests of the State and OF
the Republican party demanded that the business
before the Legislature should be transacted with
all possible dispatch with view to an early ad-
jOurnment.
Messrs. Downing and Vest made remarks in
opposition to the motion, believing that 1t would
be impolitc at present to fix u time oil ADJOURN
mcnt
The question being on the motion to concur,
the yeas aud nays We're ordered, and the House
decided in the affirmative by the following vote:

mia. Cawthorn, Davis, Dixon, Davidson, Ellis,

Mr.. Bowman moved to reconsider the vote.
Mr.. Estes hoped the motion to reconsider
would prevail, and that the House would refuse
to concur in the amendment of the Senate. 1t
was not proper, in view of the business TO be
completed, to bind the House to adjourn at so
early day as the 10th ofAugust.
Mr.. Sinclair said that there were number OF
very weighty bills yet to be considered, such,
for instance, as the police force, the militia the
public schools, and finance. l. the House ad-
hercd TO its determination to concur in the Sen
ate amendment, the action would serve as
whip to drive business through the Legislature
without allowing sufficient time to the members
to properly consider and mature Legislation OF
such vast Importance to the people. lie hoped
the House would adhere to its original decision
not to strike out the words " if practicable"
Mr.. Stillcy said if was neither prudent nor ne
cessary for the House to concur. The bills al
ready completed are comparatively unimpcrtant
to those yet to be acted on. lie could see no
purpose to be accomplished by the amendment
If the necessary legislation could be effected by
the 10th of August, the House could easily ad-
iourn but it was needless now to agltate the
subject of adjournment, when it was within the
control of the body at all times. He hoped,
therefore, the motion to reconsider would prevail,
and that the House would not concur IN the
amendment. ....
