THE BOND BILLS.
Senate file No. 229 came up for third read
ing, when Senator Kinds moved that the bill
be re-committed to the Judiciary committee
with instructions to report the same back with
certain amendments which he sent to the
clerks desk.
Senator Castle hoped the motion would moi
prevail. He doubted the propriety of com
hitting the bill at this stage of the session, az
it would be killed for want of time.
Senator Kinds said if the Senate would vote
for the amendments it would take but little
time to pass it.
Senator Mcdonald objected to the amend
ments.
Senator Castle said that the resolution Of
fered last night by Mr.. Pillsbury, making the
bill the special order of to-day, was opposed
by Mr.. Kinds and his friends, thereby cutting
off their opportunity for amendment. It was
distinctly understood at the time that no at
tempt would be made to curtail debate. HI
said that the opponents of the bill had con
sumed seven-eighths of the entire time devoted
to it, and they should not say that they were
choked off.
Senator Kinds commended that he had the
right to discuss the whole bill now, without
the restrictions which were sought to be i'm
posed at the last session.
Senator Pillsbury said the bill being in al
imperfect condition, he knew no way to
amend except to have the desired amendments
put on in the House.
Senator Kinds said he was willing to allow
the friends of the bill to amend, provided the
opponents of the bill could have the same
privilege.
Senator Castle said the amending of the
bill would make it new bill, and compel il
to take its course again in committee of the
whole.
Senator Kinds replied that Mr.. Castle did
not understand the rules, or else he (Mr. Kinds
did not.
The president ruled that the bill would not
have to take its course if amended by unani
nous consent.
Senator Castle said the friends of the bill did
not wish to take the chances.
Senator Powers wanted to know if the pa
pers reported correctly the assurance of Mr.
Pillsbury that full discussion was to be per
mitted
Senator Castle explained that there was
nothing to prevent the Senator from making
a speech, but that Mr.. Pillsbury's resolution
was voted down by the opponents of the bond
bills and thereby their chances of amendment
were lost.
