SPECIAL ORDER, VIZ
Report OF Oneh half of the committee on
rivileges and Elections, declaring Mr..
Purdie Ineligible to his seat.
Mr.. Graham said that this was very
important question, and should not be
considered at time when there are so few
Senators in their seats He did not see the
necessity of hasty action; nothing could be
accomplished by 1t and he moved to post
pOne its further consideration until Janua-
ry 9th.
The Chair ruled the motion oat OF order
on the ground that similar motion was
voted down on yesterday.
Mr.. Wynne said he hoped the object OF
the Senator from Orange would be reach.
ed in some way. He agreed with the Sen.
ator, that this was an Important question
and should not be rushed through without
mature consideration. A postponement OF
this question, in his judgment. would not
lnJure any one, and would simply be an
acS OF justice to the Senator. The Senate
can lose nothing, Mr.. President, by an ex.
tension OF courtesy, and he moved 10 re-
consider the vote By which the Senate On
yesterday refused to postpone TO the 9th
of January.
Mr. hayes said this question had been
postponed time and again, to allow the
Senator an opportunity to get MS disabili-
ties removed, and he was authorized by a
member of the House to state that tele.
gram had been recsived to-day, from one
OF our Representatives in Congress, which
stated that Mr.. Paroles disabilities would
not be removed.

thiS snOJect. 1hey stated that the Senator
would be relieved of his disabilities Tha
