MIR. BLAND said he had been led to the
conclusion that the majority OF this General
Assembly don't want conference. he
honed the Senate would stand by their
ORIGINAL resolution. 1t didn't commit any
BODY to anything except for q conference.
He Thought this General Assembly had got
ten to such pass that he didn't believe the
Lords prayer could be gotten through Wltn-
out amendment.
!, i Mr.. FULKEgsoN (sotto voce): On the basis
OF the Barbour bill.
Mr. BROOKE didn't agree with Mr. BLAND.
He saw behind all the. amendments pro-
posed the grand object Of conference OF
the creditors. He therefore favored the
House substitute, yielding any objection ne
might have to the phraseology OF the resoil-
ton. He believed that.this General Assem-
bly, will not adjourn Until full and CON-
plete settlement Of this debt question 1s had-
The people demand it. He had been more
convinced of this since the Christmas recess.
He advocated the resolution in the form ID
which it came from the House.
Mr.. CHlLEs spoke in favor OF an early SCI,
Element Of the debt question. he repeated
that he was a readjuster, but Wanted the
question settled speedily. He opposed all
amendments to the present Joint resolution
for that reason. -...,-,, --,y.tr,,,
Mr.:PAuL said that he was not for delay,
and repealed any such fdea. $500 80, 80. -.
Mr.: MASSEY wanted settlement, and a
final settlement, Of the question He knew
that our resources were being diminished,
and two years hence would not be as great
as they are now. He favored Mr.. PauPs
prot,osed amendment; and another extend
intp the lime when the conference shall DE
held, il it is found that the 22d will not give
time enough. .s -.... :oZl..yH-
Mr.. FULKERsoN said he had despaired OF
any settlement Of the debt question. He
thought that the question might have been
disposed of had not this resolution been
presented; but it sounds the knell OF read
justment, for this session at least. lie looked
upon this resolution as the twin-sistcr OF the
Fowler-Bocock bill OF last session. he
didn't believe that single bondholder
would come here in response to the call. The
peeler -bondholder would not come nobody
here ever says anything for him; but all the
legislation seems TO be in favor OF the con-
sol-bondholder. He predicted that no good
would come of The conference. II the
funders can get them here, let them come /;
it will be love feast, but they will come
without his vote. The funding bill is dead,
thank God emo one to care for mother
now" The funding bill is dead, he repeat
ed, and all its old friends are at sea. They
are all readidsters now He was satisfied
the readiusters didn't want the bondhold-
ers to come; they know it will do no good.
Then IL they don't want them the desire
for their presence must come from the
flinders, who a:tcr conference will do no.
thing. and, so the thing Will be tided over
for another session. He should oppose in
wiling them here at all. He agreed with
Mr.. BLAND that majority Of the General
Assembly didn't want settlement. Ger
tainly they prove it by this resolution. He
believed that the passage OF this resolution
will result In a. legalized lobby in favor OF a
four-per-cent. bill. =.
AT 2:45 P. M. Mr.. GRIFFIN called the pre-
yious question. e...,...

Mr.. .KoINER hoped that every member
would vote for this resolution with the idea

and not as to their individual preference fol-
ANY particular phraseology Of the resolu-
