t,ennn from Kockingha Mr. Mofettl eA,
tracts ANYTHING that might have ran kted

lthc Fashionable phrase of the day, inc ne
1stutas quo y remains as 1t was.
Mr.. Speaker, d little further DEPRESSION,
and i hope to place myself before my asso-
ciates on this floor as one who has no slnis-
| ter motives whatever In any action as rep
resentatiye here. Allow me, Mr.. Speaker,
| to make personal acknowledgement to the
gentlemen from Gloucester, Amherst, Rap
pahannock, and Richmond city (Mr. Henry,
who so generously came TO the rescue when
they found me thus embarrassed, and who
so earnestly supported my resolution. l
desire, Mr.. Speaker, to say through you to
those gentlemen that / had intended to adj
yocate the resolution after the debate had
closed, but when listening to the gentleman
from Amelia (Mr. HARVEY and the member
from Sussex Orr. Hnrrison( / thought it
would be superfluous. We were told
by these gentlemen that they had been
in close converse with the Governor,
and the gentleman from Amelia (Mr. Har-
viel said he was in perfect accord with the
sentiments of the address, and with en-
phasis and energy said he would endorse
every line and letter Of ii, and with equal
emphasis opposed the printing OF it. II he
was consistent, the opposition to printing
must have been aroused by the source from
which the proposition came. Well, sir, in
answer to question I propounded to the
gentleman from Sussex (Mr. Harrison) as to
whether the Governor was aware and appre-
ciated the opposition to the printing, he nod
ded assent. Then came to the conclusion
that it would be in bad taste for me to move
further in the matter, but leave it to the re-
representatives. Of the great Conservative party
who placed the Governor in his responsible
position in this extraordinary crisis; nay,
more, this great extremity Of tho Common
wealth. After hearing from the member
from Powhatan OR. Dance) that the Com
mittee on Reapportionment was observing
very nearly the same principle contained in
the concurrent resolution, which is now
with that committee, I therefore ask the
unanimous consent of the House TO with
draw the motion to reconsider.
Mr.. Bocock (of AppomattoN) and Mr..
TaIiaferro arose and made disclaimers OF
any intention to cast any reflection upon
Mr.. Starke, Mr.. Bocock abiding in grace
full terms to the long acquaintance with Mr..
Starke, and paid handsome tribute to his
private worth as gentleman OF the highest
honor.
Unanimous consent was granted.
Mr.. Starke: Mr.. Speaker, I. thank the
House for that courtesy as well rs for the
kind and attentive consideration they have
given me while placing myself fairly before
the House.

It is now rumored that there will be no
more separate Conservative caucuses Of the
members OF the Legislature, but that here
after both the Lee and Lacy parties will act
together upon all general party questions.
We hope this news is true. There never
was any reason or shadow OF preteHt for
separation, and it has seriously retarded re-
adjustment from the beginning OF the ses-
sion. AS two thirds OF the session have
been expended in wrangling, let the other
third be dedicated by our friends to the
practical work they were elected to accom-
misunderstanding Post.
