Doinss or the Rendjuster Caucus Last Night
In the Senate yesterday morning the fol-
lowing resolution was communicated from
the House:
RESOLVED Senate concurrlng), That the
General Assembly will proceed on We'd
nesday, March 1st, at / o'clock i. NJ, to
elect county judges for the counties OF
Prince William, Carroll, Floyd, Henry, and
Goochland, andsorporation judges for the
cities of Alexandra, Staunton. Danville,
ing order until completed.
Mr.. Hurt moved to strike out Danville.
Rejected-Mr. Lybrook voting "Aye" >;
otherwise a strict party vote.
Mr.. Heaton moved TO strike out Prince
William. Mr.. Loyenstein moved to strike
out the city OF Richmond. Mr. IIeaton ac-
cepted the amendment.
In all these cases there was the same
question OF the tenure OF Office OF judges
elected to succeed judges who died or re-
signed before their terms expired. The
Supreme Court holds that they are elected
for full terms; the Readiuster majority
maintains the contrary.
/ Mr.. Lybrook made somewhat lengthy
speech opposing this revolutionary mea-
sure and warning the Readiusters that they
are doing things the, people will not up
! hold,-naming, for instance, this matter,
the proposed redistricting OF the State for
circuit judges, and the proposed reappOr-
tionment OF the State for Representatives in
/ Congress.
The amendment was rejected, Mr. Ly-
brook voting "Aye": otherwise party
vote.
Mr.. Smith entered The chamber Just "a
/ the vote was about to he taken, and said
that he desired to speak 10 the question
| 10 advocate the amendment which proposed
/ TO strike out the county OF Prince William
/ from the Joint resolution. The Chair in
/ formed him that the previous question had
| been ordered, and consequently no debate
was in order. Mr. Smith had just reached
/ the city on the morning train from the
/ North. and was not apprised OF the fact
| that the Senate bad changed its hour OF
meeting from l2 TO II O'Clock.
On motion Of Mr.. Barnes, the resolution
was amended to include the Judge OF Rus
sell county, and having been adopted by
the usual vote (Mr. LybrOok voting "No")
was ordered to be sent back to the House.
CHARTER or LEXINGTON.
| ON motion of Mr.. Walker, the Commit
mittee on Counties, Cities, and Towns was
discharged from the consideration Of the
| House bill TO provide new charter for the
| town OF Lexington. Agreed to by a party
vote. lThis bill was rccommitted on Mon
| day.l The Chair decided that the bill came
up for immediate consideration. Mr..
| Smith called for reading OF the bill-a
ponderous documcnt-and it was accord
| ingly read. The special orders were all
postponed from time to time, as they were
reached, to make way for this bill, the Re-
adjusters voting "Aye" and the Demo
/ cratS "No.' At one time Mr.. Rid
dleberger asked for suspension OF
the reading OF the bill, but Mr.. Glas-
Cow said he wanted the bill read, As
he proposed to offer amendments and
wished to speak on the bill. Thereupon
/ Mr.. Riddleberger withdrew his motion and
| expressed the hope that the previous queS-
/ tion would be promptly called. Mr.. Glas-
/ gov subsequently said he proposed to offer
/ an amendment requiring the charter to be
submitted to the people OF the town for
adoption or rejection, and il that should
/ be agreed TO he would have no other
amendment 10 offer. Mr.. Riddleberger
now objected TO the suspension OF the rules
/ to allow Mr.. Glasgow 20 offer his amend
ment. and the Clerk accordingly went on
with the reading.
At the conclusion OF the reading OF the
/ bill Mr.. Glasgow offered his amendment
recurring the bill to be approved by the
/ people of Lexington before il shall become
/ operative, and in connection herewith pro-
posed TO present the resolutions adopted
! by the people OF that town. He had the
/ floor at 1870, when the colOred normal
school bill came up as postponed special
order.
