The time for the passage of the bill is of as
much importance almost as the passage IT.
self, but / think it is not asking too much
that we should have time to see, know and
weigh it well.
The Speaker-The Chair will state for the
information of the gentleman from Living.
ston (Mr. Davidson, and all the other MEN,
bers, that this lie an interruption of the read
ing Of a report. think the ordinary and
proper course for bill that comes up like
this, is to be read, or have the reading dis
pensed with, and then refer to the commit
tee of the whole.
Mr. DavidsOn-I think that would be the
best move. make motion that we dis
pense with the reading of the bill, and re-
fer it to the committee of the whole, aud
that on Monday next the House, imme
diately after the reading OF the journal,
resolve itself into a committee OF the whole.
Mr.. Benham-I would like to make an
amendment to the gentleman's motion.
see there are several amendments in the
bill, and | want to make motion to have
the amendments published in the journal,
SO that the members can see it on their
desks tomorrow morning. This is, per-
haps, the NEST important measure that has
ever been before the Legislature of Louis
lana. We have to deal with the whole
State debt, amounting TO some SD, 0OO,Uo0.

vested in them
