LITTLE FUS IN LEGISLATION. The COM
mittee on rules. in the Massachusetts Legs
laturc, have undertaken 10 prune the rules
of unnecessary words. Everything went ON
smoothly until the rule was reached which
requires a member t. rise On addressing the
Senate, and in place OF the requirement after
he gets through DO g sit down" il was pro-
posed 70 substitute the words resume his
seat " Mr.. Howe of Middlesex did not like
the change. prefcrrin. the good Anglo Saxon
words sit DOWN Mr. Monroe denied the
correctness olsuch language, for be could not
see the necessity of the word '' down \
man might =. sit' but as he could not sit
up " nor sit = crosswise,' he could see
no reason for sitting down. If the
change proposed was not acceptable, then the
word down should be struck out. Mr.. Bird
OF Norfolk said he did not like the change as
any better language, neither could he see
the necessity of oquiring member 70 resume
his seat or 70 sit down, for he might wish 10
20 out after speaking. lie believed the
words Of the rule were correct, for he re-
membered that some thirty years ago he was
accustomed to &" sit up with young wo-
man. which was considered very proper, and
no objection was made To the use of the Lam
guage. The result Of the discussion was that
the requirement to a. sit down or " resume
his seat is left out. and a senator may
leave his seat if he chooses, after he ha-
done speaking.
