CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
The constitutional amendments came up
as the unfinished business OF yesterday.
A motion was made and carried to post
none the constitutional amendments until
Monday at 12t O'Clock.
MIR. FULKERsON said he hoped some one
who voted with the majority would move
TO reconsider The vote by which the resolu-
tions had been postponed until Monday,
and he would move TO dismiss them from
the Senate.
The CHAIR said there was no such mo-
ton as to dismiss.
Mr.. HENRY SAID ne would make the mo-
ton to reconsider II the Senator from wash
Ington would in good faith make his motion
to indefinitely postpone.
Mr.. FULKERsON said he would. lie dld
not think that the Senate ought longer 10
be troubled with this matter, although he
was in favor OF the resolution.
Dir. RIDDLEBERGER said he had intended
TO follow the leadership Of the Senator from
Washington in this matter and vote for the
resolutions, but would now take him at his
word and vote TO indefinitely postpone the
amendments. 1t was strange indeed that,
because senator thought lit TO ask TO post
pone the subject until Monday, all this
factious fgbt should be made.
Mr.. PAUL took the floor and spoke in adj
vocacy OF the resolutions TO amend the Con-
stitution, and in opposition TO the motion
to post pone indefinitely.
Mr. RIDDLEBERGER replied. he said he
had not very strong convictions on the
subject. 1t was a matter Of trouble TO
him whether to cast his vote as he did at
home at the election, or as representa-
tive OF the people. Ii be were TO represent
bis people he would vote against the amend
menls as now proposed. II he were to cast
his vote according to his own convictions
he would vote for them.
Mr. DANIEL moved that the vote on the
amendments be taken on Wednesday at 3
p. NJ, unless sooner reached. Agreed to.
Mr. FULKERsON said he would withdraw
his motion TO indefinitely postpone.
Mr.. RTDDLEBERGtR objected, and the mo-
ton was not Withdrawn.
Adjourned.
