lature of two years ago which, to obvi-
ate this difficulty, adopted a resolution
~ the beginning of the session declar-
ing that, IN general terms, such emer-
gency had arisen for all bulls.
Mr.. Brown thought there was no no
ce~sity for the adoption of a spccial
resolution to authorize the Seua,e 10
dispense with any reading OF n bill:
but that a simple motion in practical
efiec. carried with il the abortion Of 4
motion that, in the opinion OF the Sen
ate, such an emergency as that CON
templated had arisen.
Mr.. Abraham read the section re-
ferred 20 from the Constitution.
MIR. hall thought if any member
called Tor the reading OF any bill. 1t
must he read. Any one member is
entitled to call for the reading OF Il dill
Tor information.
Mr.. McCov conquered ia the opinion
with the gentlemen from Storey and
White Pine. lie said, rs a general
rule, he should object to the Adoption
OF any motion to di>pL Sc wiki the
reading OF 4 bill. We Ought To ac; un-
deFStauiin-ly, and we can ran only do
80 10y thoroughly examining every
measure brought before this body.
Every bill should be read for the iG-
formation of Senators. On general
principles, he should oppose any re-
ference TO committees until the b..s
have been rea! in open Senate.
The Chair stated that the idea OF
senator Brown. that the readia- OF II
bill could he called for By any senator
.or information, Was correct: vet Il
motion can be made to read tie bill
only by title.
MIR. Hall said that such a motion
must be more or less arbitrary. Some
thing ought to he done to check the
general tendency to slight WORK.
When a new bill IA up we ough
TO take time sufficient to inform our
selves of il. II i generally better 10
hear 4 bill read than to refer it.
On motion of Mr.. Bpnnifield the bill
was referred to the Committee on
Mines and Mining.
Mr.. Mills gave notice Of his iu.rn
ton Ia Introduce a bill To provide for
the removal Of the comfy seat Of LA
coin county.
