FINALLY P.ssEp-Resolve in favor of John
Gardiner.
Mr.. B1sBEE moved that the resolve instruct
ing our Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress to favor the repeal of the bankrupt law :,
be taken from the table. He deemed the
subject one of Importance, and when 1t should
be taken up, the matter could be referred to
the Committee on Federal Relations, or il
could be considered then on a motion to in
definitely postpone.
The resolve was taken from the table.
Mr.. MATHEWS remarked that he had re
ceived direct information from Washington
last evening" that bill for the repeal Of tn,
law had passed the House, and would un
doubtedly pass the Senate. So it seemed t
him unnecessary under the circumstances o
the case to pass this resolve. He did not ap
prove, in ordinary matters, of giving instruct
ions to our Senators and Representatives il
Congress, for he thought from their position
that they were more capable of passing upo
these questions than the Legislature here. II
moved the indefinite postponement of the re
solve.
Mr.. NASH opposed the motion. He hope
the matter would be referred and investigates
and not disposed of in so unceremonious
manner.
Mr.. PEAKS favored reference to the com
mittee. He did not believe the majority o
the business men Of this State to be in favo
Of the repeal of this law. In reply to tn
gentleman from Hampden (Mr. Matthews
he said he understood that petitions wer
coming in TO Congress against the propose
repeal, and the probability was that the Sen
ate would not concur with the House in re
pealing the law.
On motion Of Mr.. DINGLEY, the resolv
Relations.
