The bill was taken up and considered by
sections, each member devoting himself
with commendable energy to the work of
perfecting the measure of enjoyment. Ne
time was lost by misdirected efforts, in test
ing the several sections, and after about an
hours discussion of the bill it passed IN
animoHsly. Gen. Battle, its author, re3
ceived as he deserved, the warmest thanks
of the assembled lawmakers for the care
and skill with which he had framed the bill
and the prompt and efficient manner in
which be had placed it before them and en-
abed them to discussits provisions. The
banquet was fitting conclusion to short
but important session, and was in every
way worthy of the honorable and dis
gentlemen to whom it was given.
