other part or over the whole of its line.
nor shall they in any case make terminal
charges on such local freights different from
what are made on through freight nor in

| freights. They shall not charge for freight
consigned to or from any point with
| in this State more per mile than is

ter Of trains, consigned to or from any

| These amendments were made without
objection.
| Mr.. ROLLER then moved that the bill be
laid on the table and made the
SPECIAL ORDER FOR WEDNESDAY NEXT.
Mr.. TAYLOR, Of Loudoun Don't make
it the special order. Just lay it on the
table. We can take it up when the House
dsposes Of the subject.
Mr.. ROLLER said his only objection to
laying it on the table was that when it was
desired to take it up something else might
be under consideration, and it might be
| impossible to do so.
AN INDIGNANT PROTEST.
Mr.. SSowDRN hoped the Senator did not
mean to intimate for 4 moment that this
bill ought to be considered when any bill
Of general interest is under consideration.
State affairs should not give way to the
affairs Of private corporations, and he was
surprised that the Senator should favor any
such idea. The public were already dis
gusted at the manner in which the Legisla-
ture is frittering awry its time.
The vote was then taken, and the bill and
amendments were laid OIL the table-ayes,
21; noes, Is.
The Senate then adjourned. -
