MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS.
Mr.. Campbell, Rep, referred to the fact that
several of the laws passed BY the Legislature nav.
ing been brought before the courts, moved that
the committee on rules submit to the Judiciary
committee for its decision, as to the course which
the Law requires for q suspension Of the rules.
Under . suspension of the rules, Iengthy re-
port Of the committee on commerce and manu-.
lectures was read and received, and i've hundred
copies ordered to be printed.
The report of the committee on the revision OF
the statutes was also received and read.
The report was adopted.
Mr.. Ray (R.) was relieved from serving on the
committee.
Mr.. Campbell Or delivered the supplementary
report of the Joint committee on the conduct OF
the late election and peace and order In the state.
Mr.. Todd (R.) moved that 1000 copies Dc
printed.
Mr. Bacon thought this too mnch, 500 would be
enough.
port ought to be sent to all parts OF the United
Mr.. Blackman Cd thinks that the time to spend
the money of the State for circulating political
namphlets to Disgrace the State of Louisiana, has
gone by. Why send out this report to prevent
capital to come INTO our State, to keep emigration
iGo0 mnrdsr. had hesn 49,. ,~
twelve months. over 1857 persons were attacked
wounded and robbed.
The report should be sent to Congress. and no
by it.
Blackmsn 3D. argued at length the upiu,tness
OF publishing this report. Crime is twice as great
In Massachusetts as in Louisiana. Because men
committed crime II is not for political purposes.
There is freedom of the ballot box in every mart

Lewis (R } in lengthy TRADE against murder
murderers, nightly assassins, etc., etc.. wants
them published, held up to public view and pun
Bacon 3D. says these disorders were the result
oil the efforts to crowd on this people govern.
ment which they did wish to have other wise. But
THIS government exists, its defects are the faults
OF the trainers of it.
Mr.. Bacon was followed by the celebrated Pat.
rick y HaIa, (R.,) who is determined to give
everybody his rights. So far as his influence goes
ne shall be liberal, but will force peace if it can
not otherwise be gained.
Mr.. Brauehn 3D. thinks 1t strange that sena.
tor cannot vote against the printing without be-
ing charged with shielding murderers. Every
senator has the right to debate any question be.
fore Ine senate without being charged with insult
ing completely. Crimes have been committed at
all tunes and N all countries, and they cannot be
prevented. This report, IL Is asserted, shall stop
these crimes-stsy the arm of The assassin; but.
on me contrary, the passions of the people of
Louisiana will rise again when this report shall be
spread before them. Besides the printing will
create unnecessary expenses.
Todd moved the previous question, which was
carried.
