Mr.. ATKINSON moved TO suspend the rule
and take M the Richmond and Allegheny
consolidation bill, and gave some reasons
WHY II should be done to-day.
Mr.. RIppIEByRGER said he would vote to
SUSPEND the rule, but the bill would proba-
bIv require more discussion than the Sena-
tor Thought. Unless, therefore, the Senator
was nrenared to go into II to-day, he had
probably better not take II up.
Mr.. ATKINSON said he was not aware that
there was to be opposition, and he would
therefore withdraw his motion.
