from the sessions of the United States Senate almos
continuously from the commencement of its present
| session and,
| whereas His protracted absence from his post OF
duty his presence in the city of Richmond gives
plasibilty to the belief that he is here for the pur
pose of debating to the Legislature and controlling
its legislation; therefore,
Resolved That General William Malone be and il
hereby requested to return to and remain at his post
of duty in the Senate of the United States and that
copy of this preamble and resolution be sent to our
said Senator by the clerk of this body.
The resolution provoked a fierce retort
from the Readjuster side of the chamber,
and speeches in vindication of Malone were
made by his party friends, among them Uni
ted States Senator elect Riddleberger, who
understood the matter an invitation to
General Malone to leave the State. coun-
ter resolution to the following effect was Of
fered:
Whereas, There are Senators on this floor who are
under the impression that the resolution offered by
the Senator from Bland reflected upon the honor of
every Senator upon this floor therefore,
resolved, That the Senator from Bland be request
ed to formulate his charges in order that they may
be properly met.
Senator Lybrook, one of the boiling Re-
adjusters in a speech said that if General
Malone was in Richmond for the purpose OF
controlling legislation, that he ought to be
damned by every honest man in the State.
He admitted that the idea of his presence
here was plausible when considered in con-
nection with the charge of interfering with
legislation. Senator Newberry said that the
action of General Malone in spending so
much time here in Richmond was without
parallel in the history of the State of Vir-
ginia, so far as the action of her national
Representatives was concerned. The hour
for consideration of the special order of the
day cut off further action and debate upon
the resolution.
