nHnATEs OF THE SENATE.
WEDNESDAY, March 9, 1870.
On motion of Mr.. Todd, House bill No
63 flour inspection billy was taken up,
under suspension of the rules.
Mr.. Blackman: have a motion to make
in reference to this bill-that it be recon-
mitted to the committee with instructions
TO have it so framed as to allow the foul
inspectors to inspect corn also. The
planters have spoken to me in regard to
IL. stating 20 me that it is much more i'm.
portant to inspect corn than -four.
Mr.. Lynch: / would state that the
amendment which hold in my hand is
approved by the -four inspectors as well
as by the Chamber of Commerce. With
this amendment all who are interested in
the bill will be satisfied. 1 hope no other
motion will be made to delay the passage
inspection of corn or any other grain or
commodity, let new bill be introduced.
l offer this amendment as substitute for
section sixth.
The substitute offered by MIR. Lynch was
read and adopted.
Mr.. Coupland: l do not pretend to OBJ
ject to this amendment at all. think it
is very good one. The only objection
that could be urged is, that we have so
short time; and if we adopt this amend
ment, it will necessarily have to 60 back
to the House for concurrence, and they
will probably not concur, and the bill will
be defeated by it.
Mr.. Lynch: I do not think that will
necessarily follow. This amendment has
the sanction of the Flour Inspectors. and
it is very importont that it should be
made.
Mr.. COPELAND: Well, have no OBJ
lection, except that do not want the bill
defeated.
Mr.. Lynch: move the adoption of the
amendment as O. substitute for section
sixth.
Mr.. Antoine: Before the amendment
passes, have remark to make. 1t has
the approval Of the -four inspectors and
the Chamber of Commerce, and is for the
interest Of the people at large, that is the
-four consumers. To my certain know
ledge. some three weeks ago we shipped
eightlor ten barrels of -four to some of our
customers in the country, and out of the
amount there were four barrels that were
under weight. l think it is our duty to
protect the interest of flour consumers.
The substitute of Mr.. Lynch was
adopted and the bill was finally passed.
Mr.. Beares asked suspension of the
rules to offer joint resolution extending
the extra session Of the General Assembly
to thirty days.
Mr.. Ogden: move to lay that resolu-
ton on the table.
The President: It requires suspension
of the rules to put the Joint resolution be-
fore the Senate.
Mr.. Lynch: call for the yeas and nays
on the suspension of the rules.
The rules were not suspended. Yeas l,
nays PC.
The special order of the day (the city
charter billy being under consideration =
Mr.. Lynch Mr.. President, the friends
of this bill concede that there are certain
amendments to be made before it is acted
upon. These amendments are Of such
character as to require careful preparation,
and in order to give time to prepare these
amendments, l move that the bill be re-
ferred to the Committee on Corporations,
with the understanding that they will re-
port tomorrow.
Mr.. Smith: With instructions that the
amendment be printed.
Mr.. Todd Has not this city charter
bill been referred to that committee
already?
Mr.. President No, sir, I think not,
since it has been in the Senate.
Mr.. Todd: think this is as good a time
to make amendments. I am fully pre-
off nh 4,
sire.
Mr.. Ogden: Before the motion is put; 1 |
understand the bill has been submitted |
already to committee of the Senate.
The President: No, it has not.
Mr.. Ogden: How does it happen that it
is printed, then?
The President: 1t was brought up at the
last session and ordered to be printed, and
was returned yesterday from the printer.
Mr.. Ogden: There is q constant cry
that whenever there is proposition made
by the Republicans the Democratic MEM
bers oppose it, This bill seems to me in
many particulars an excellent one, but
there are some features in it that GER
tainly ought to be amended. This is the
proper place to make those amendments.
Now, can readily unders and the
1esire on the part of different
Senator's; their object is to bring
lp the school bill, and warn the Senators
that ii they attempt to bring up the school
bill improperly. when another bill has been |
made the special order, We will resist such
An attempt to discard the special order and
lake up pet bill. When say pet bill,
refer more particularly to my friend who

ion, and not to Senator Lynch. But say
AXE up the city charter bill, and if you
10 not assure you that you will not make {
much progress on the school bill. I
Mr.. Lynch: will state that | am re-
,ponsible for this motion. 1t was no t
leslgn to postpone the city charter bill, T
put 70 facilitate its speedy passage through &
he Senate. These amendments have to
,e considered, and it will save time to have t
t referred to a committee, with instruc- T
ions to report tomorrow. 1t is to facili- /
ate business, not TO retard it. '
Mr.. Bacon: will say, respecting this t
notion, as member of the Committee on G
